Heavy Duty Use Of Vehicle
**** Change the engine oil and engine oil
filter at every 4500 miles (7,500 km) or
12 months if using your vehicle under any of
the following severe duty conditions:
Stop and go driving.
Driving in dusty conditions.
Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
Trailer towing.
Taxi, police, or delivery service (commer-
cial service).
Off-road or desert operation.
Diesel Engines
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for engine oil
replacement.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as
frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures will influ -ence when the “Oil Change Required”
message is displayed. Severe Operating
Conditions can cause the change oil
message to illuminate as earlier than speci
-
fied. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).
To help you have the best driving experience
possible, the manufacturer has identified the
specific vehicle maintenance service inter -
vals that are required to keep your vehicle
operating properly and safely.
The manufacturer recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed at your
selling dealer. The technicians at your deal -
ership 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.
The maintenance intervals shown should be
performed as indicated in this section. NOTE:
The actual interval for changing engine oil
and replacing the engine oil filter depends
on the vehicle usage conditions, and is
signaled by the warning light or message in
the instrument panel. In any case, it must
never exceed 12,000 miles (20,000km) or 1
year.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at
120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km)
whichever comes first.
Areas that are not dusty: recommended
maximum distance 75,000 mi
(120,000 km). The belt must be replaced
every 6 years, regardless of distance trav-
elled. Dusty areas and/or heavy conditions
(severe weather conditions, very low or very
high temperatures for extended periods,
urban driving, long periods of idling): the
recommended maximum distance is
37,500 mi (60,000 km). The belt must be
replaced every 4 years, regardless of
distance travelled.

It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer
while a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice
conditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original
equipment tires to help you in determining
when your tires should be replaced.Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom
of the tread grooves. They will appear as
bands when the tread depth becomes a 1/16
of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is worn
to the tread wear indicators, the tire should
be replaced.
Refer to “Replacement Tires” in this section
for further information.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon
varying factors including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation
pressures can cause uneven wear patterns
to develop across the tire tread. These
abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread
life, resulting in the need for earlier tire
replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed
rating of V or higher, and Summer tires
typically have a reduced tread life. Rota-
tion of these tires per the vehicle sched -
uled maintenance is highly recommended.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure.
A tire could explode and injure someone.
Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster
than 30 mph (48 km/h) for more than
30 seconds continuously when you are
stuck, and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the
speed.1 — Worn Tire
2 — New Tire
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced
after six years, regardless of the remaining
tread. Failure to follow this warning can
result in sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
1.4L Turbo Gasoline Engine
This engine is designed to meet all emission
regulations and provide satisfactory fuel
economy and performance when using
high-quality unleaded gasoline having a
minimum research octane rating (RON) of
95. For optimum performance and fuel
economy the use of minimum research
octane rating (RON) of 98 or higher is recom-
mended. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita
-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita -
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your
vehicle be operated on fuel containing no
more than 10% ethanol. Purchasing your
fuel from a reputable supplier may reduce
the risk of exceeding this 10% limit and/or of
receiving fuel with abnormal properties.
Materials Added To Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these
materials intended for gum and varnish
removal may contain active solvents or
similar ingredients. These can harm fuel
system gasket and diaphragm materials.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline
with oxygenates such as ethanol.
CAUTION!
Do not load your vehicle any heavier than
the GVWR or the maximum front and rear
GAWR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can
break, or it can change the way your
vehicle handles. This could cause you to
lose control. Also overloading can shorten
the life of your vehicle. Never exceed the
maximum combined vehicle load value:
the maximum towable load is only allowed
if it does not exceed the maximum
combined vehicle load.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher
than 10% may result in engine
malfunction, starting and operating
difficulties, and materials degradation.
These adverse effects could result in
permanent damage to your vehicle.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing
methanol, or gasoline containing more
than 15% ethanol (E-15). Use of these
blends may result in starting and
drivability problems, damage critical fuel
system components, cause emissions to
exceed the applicable standard, and/or
cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to
illuminate. Please observe pump labels as
they should clearly communicate if a fuel
contains greater than 15% ethanol (E-15).
