Windshield Wiper Operation
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first
two detent positions for intermittent
settings. The first intermittent wiper interval
is 10 seconds. The second intermittent wipe
interval is based on vehicle speed. Rotate to
the third detent for low wiper operation and
the fourth detent for high wiper operation.Windshield Wiper Operation NOTE:
Do not operate the windshield wipers with
the blades lifted from the windshield.
Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you
and hold while spray is desired. If the lever
is pulled while in the intermittent setting,
the wipers will turn on and operate for
several wipe cycles after the lever is
released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
Mist
Push the lever upward to the MIST position
and release for a single wiping cycle. NOTE:
The mist feature does not activate the
washer pump; therefore, no washer fluid will
be sprayed on the windshield. The wash
function must be used in order to spray the
windshield with washer fluid.
Rain Sensing Wipers — If Equipped
This feature senses rain or snow fall on the
windshield and automatically activates the
wipers for the driver. The feature is espe
-
cially useful for road splash or overspray from
the windshield washers of the vehicle ahead.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to
one of two settings to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted
with the multifunction lever. Wiper delay
position one is the least sensitive, and wiper
delay position two is the most sensitive.
Place the wiper switch in the O (off) position
when not using the system.
CAUTION!
Always remove any buildup of snow that
prevents the windshield wiper blades from
returning to the “park” position. If the
windshield wiper switch is turned off, and
the blades cannot return to the “park”
position, damage to the wiper motor may
occur.
WARNING!
Sudden loss of visibility through the
windshield could lead to a collision. You
might not see other vehicles or other
obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the
windshield during freezing weather, warm
the windshield with the defroster before
and during windshield washer use.

clicking sounds when it is active. This is
normal; the sounds will stop when ESC
becomes inactive.
This light will come on when the vehicle is
in an ESC event.
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Off
Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light indicates the
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is
off.
Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN
or ACC/ON/RUN, the ESC system will be on,
even if it was turned off previously.
Fuel Cutoff Warning Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate
after an accident has occurred, and
the system has shut the fuel off.
LaneSense Warning Light — If Equipped
The LaneSense Warning Light will
be solid yellow when the vehicle is

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.

Checking Oil Level
To assure proper engine lubrication, the
engine oil must be maintained at the correct
level. Check the oil level at regular intervals,
such as every fuel stop. The best time to
check the engine oil level is about five
minutes after a fully warmed up engine is
shut off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings.
There are three possible dipstick types,
Crosshatched zone.
Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.
Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at
the low end of the range and MAX at the
high end of the range.
Crosshatched zone marked with dimples
at the MIN and the MAX ends of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the
crosshatch markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liters) of oil when the
reading is at the low end of the dipstick
range will raise the oil level to the high end
of the range marking.
Adding Washer Fluid
The fluid reservoir is located in the front of
the engine compartment. Be sure to check
the fluid level in the reservoir at regular inter -
vals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer
solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate
the system for a few seconds to flush out the
residual washer fluid.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir,
take some washer fluid, apply it to a cloth or
towel, and wipe clean the wiper blades; this
will help blade performance.
WARNING!
Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable
vapors may be present, with the risk of
fire.
Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could
severely damage your car.
The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for vehi -
cles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
CAUTION! (Continued)

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
226(Continued)
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This
rating information can be found on most
washer fluid containers.
Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a mainte -
nance-free battery. You will never have to
add water, nor is periodic maintenance
required.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.
WARNING!
Using the battery with low fluid will
irreparably damage the battery and may
cause an explosion.
When performing any operation on the
battery or near it, always protect your
eyes with special goggles.
Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact an autho-
rized dealership.
Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution
and can burn or even blind you. Do not
allow battery fluid to contact your eyes,
skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a
battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the
area immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
any other booster source with an output
greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
Battery posts, terminals, and related
accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION!
It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi -
tive (+) and negative (-) and are
identified on the battery case. Cable
clamps should be tight on the terminal
posts and free of corrosion.
If a “fast charger” is used while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting
the charger to the battery. Do not use a
“fast charger” to provide starting
voltage.
