REFUELING IN EMERGENCY
— IF EQUIPPED
The fuel filling procedure in case of emer -
gency is described in the “Emergency Refu -
eling Procedure”. Refer to “Adding Fuel” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion. The vehicle is equipped with a refueling
funnel. If refueling is necessary, while using
an approved gas can, please insert the refu
-
eling funnel into the filler neck opening.

Inserting Funnel
IF YOUR ENGINE
OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating your
engine by taking the appropriate action.
On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the
transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s
battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular
devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough without engine operation, the
vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently
to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads “H,” pull over and stop the
vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer
drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on the “H” and you hear
continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is
required to prevent damage to your vehicle.
Use only tow bars and other equipment
designed for this purpose, following equip-
ment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of
safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this
vehicle to avoid inadvertent Electric Park
Brake engagement. The Auto Park Brake
feature is enabled or disabled via the
customer programmable features in the
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total
electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel
dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a
flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the igni -
tion must be in the ON/RUN mode.
NOTE:
The Safehold feature will engage the Electric
Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition
is ON, transmission is not in PARK, and
brake pedal is released). If you are towing
this vehicle with the ignition in the ON/RUN
mode, you must manually disable the Elec -tric Park Brake each time the driver's door is
opened by pressing the brake pedal and then
releasing the EPB.
If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to
“Gear Selector Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the automatic trans
-
mission out of PARK so that the vehicle can
be moved.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best condi-
tions. For this reason, Jeep has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance intervals and, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, as described in the
Scheduled Servicing plan. To keep the car’s
efficiency in tip-top condition, in the
following Scheduled Service plan pages a
few additional checks are listed that should
be carried out more frequently with respect
to the normal coupon redemption schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all autho -
rized dealerships according to fixed time or
mileage intervals. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements or repairs,
these may be carried out with the owner's
explicit agreement only.
The technicians at your dealership know your
vehicle best, and have access to factory
trained information, genuine Mopar parts,
and specially designed electronic and
mechanical tools that can help prevent
future costly repairs. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval between
one scheduled servicing operation and the next should be reduced. More frequent main
-
tenance may be needed for vehicles in severe
operating conditions, such as dusty areas
and very short trip driving.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing interventions are set
out by the Manufacturer. Failure to have
them carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advised to inform an autho -
rized dealership of any small operating irreg -
ularities without waiting for the next service.
1.4L Gasoline Engine
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 9,000 miles (15,000 km)
or 12 months, whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
Check engine oil level.
Check windshield washer fluid level.
Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.
Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser -
voir and brake master cylinder, fill as
needed.
Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
At Each Oil Change
Change oil and filter.
Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of
irregular wear, even if it occurs before the
oil indicator system turns on.
