Electric Power Steering Fault Warning Light
This warning light will turn on when
there's a fault with the EPS (Electric
Power Steering) system. Refer to
“Power Steering” in “Starting And
Operating” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Warning
Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a problem with the Elec -
tronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system. If a problem is detected
while the vehicle is running, the light will
either stay on or flash depending on the
nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition
when the vehicle is safely and completely
stopped and the transmission is placed in
the PARK position. The light should turn off.
If the light remains on with the vehicle
running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized dealer for service
as soon as possible. NOTE:
This light may turn on if the accelerator and
brake pedals are pressed at the same time.
If the light continues to flash when the
vehicle is running, immediate service is
required and you may experience reduced
performance, an elevated/rough idle, or
engine stall and your vehicle may require
towing. The light will come on when the igni
-
tion is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb
check. If the light does not come on during
starting, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
Engine Temperature Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
warn of an overheated engine condi -
tion. If the engine coolant tempera -
ture is too high, this light will illuminate and
a single chime will sound.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull
over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system
is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission
into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to
normal, turn the engine off immediately and
call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
Hood Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate
when the hood is left open and not
fully closed.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
Liftgate Open Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate
when the liftgate is open.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a
single chime.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
This warning light will illuminate to
indicate low engine oil pressure. If
the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle, shut off the engine as soon as
possible, and contact an authorized dealer. A
chime will sound when this light turns on.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it
off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the A/C
off can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to
floor and the blower control to high. This
allows the heater core to act as a supple-
ment to the radiator and aids in removing
heat from the engine cooling system.
GEAR SELECTOR OVERRIDE
If a malfunction occurs, and the gear
selector cannot be moved out of the PARK
position, you can use the following procedure
to temporarily move the gear selector:
1. Turn the engine OFF.
2. Apply the park brake.
3. Grasp the boot material rearward of thegear selector and pull up to carefully
separate the gear selector bezel and boot
assembly from the center console.
Gear Selector Bezel
4. Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. 5. Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool
down into the gear selector override
access hole (at the right rear corner of the
gear selector assembly), and push and
hold the override release lever down.
Gear Selector Override Access Hole
6. Move the gear selector to the NEUTRAL position.
7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
8. Reinstall the gear selector boot.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.

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.
2020_JEEP_M6_UG_UK.book Page 217

229(Continued)
Under normal operating conditions, the cata-
lytic converter will not require maintenance.
However, it is important to keep the engine
properly tuned to assure proper catalyst
operation and prevent possible catalyst
damage.
NOTE:
Intentional tampering with emissions control
systems can result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
In unusual situations involving grossly
malfunctioning engine operation, a
scorching odor may suggest severe and
abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs,
stop the vehicle, turn off the engine and allow it to cool. Service, including a tune-up
to manufacturer's specifications, should be
obtained immediately.
To minimize the possibility of catalytic
converter damage:
Do not interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the vehicle is
in motion.
Do not try to start the vehicle by pushing
or towing the vehicle.
Do not idle the engine with any ignition
components disconnected or removed,
such as when diagnostic testing, or for
prolonged periods during very rough idle or
malfunctioning operating conditions.
Cooling System
Coolant Checks
Check engine coolant (antifreeze) protec
-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty
in appearance, the system should be
drained, flushed and refilled with fresh
engine coolant (antifreeze). Check the front
of the A/C condenser for any accumulation
of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently
spraying water from a garden hose vertically
down the face of the condenser.
Damage to the catalytic converter can
result if your vehicle is not kept in proper
operating condition. In the event of
engine malfunction, particularly
involving engine misfire or other
apparent loss of performance, have your
vehicle serviced promptly. Continued
operation of your vehicle with a severe
malfunction could cause the converter to
overheat, resulting in possible damage to
the converter and vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued)
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
WARNING! (Continued)

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
230
(Continued)
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent
loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to
ensure that engine coolant (antifreeze) will
return to the radiator from the coolant expan-
sion bottle/recovery tank if so equipped.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if
there is any accumulation of foreign material
on the sealing surfaces.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be
inspected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte -nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid in the master cylinder should be
checked when performing under hood
services or immediately if the “Brake
Warning Light” is illuminated.
Be sure to clean the top of the master
cylinder area before removing the cap. If
necessary, add fluid to bring the fluid level
up to the requirements described on the
brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid
level can be expected to fall as the brake
pads wear. Brake fluid level should be
checked when pads are replaced. However,
low fluid level may be caused by a leak and
a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants”
in “Technical Specifications” for further
information.
WARNING!
Do not open hot engine cooling system.
Never add engine coolant (antifreeze)
when the engine is overheated. Do not
loosen or remove the cap to cool an over
-
heated engine. Heat causes pressure to
build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove
the pressure cap while the system is hot
or under pressure.
Do not use a pressure cap other than the
one specified for your vehicle. Personal
injury or engine damage may result.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure
and possibly a collision. Driving with your
foot resting or riding on the brake pedal
can result in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear, and
possible brake damage. You would not
have your full braking capacity in an
emergency. WARNING!
Use only manufacturer's recommended
brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids And Lubri -
cants” in “Technical Specifications” for
further information. Using the wrong
type of brake fluid can severely damage
your brake system and/or impair its
performance. The proper type of brake
fluid for your vehicle is also identified on
the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.
To avoid contamination from foreign
matter or moisture, use only new brake
fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly
closed container. Keep the master
cylinder reservoir cap secured at all
times. Brake fluid in a open container
absorbs moisture from the air resulting
in a lower boiling point. This may cause
it to boil unexpectedly during hard or
prolonged braking, resulting in sudden
brake failure. This could result in a colli -
sion.
