tire pressure reset JEEP PATRIOT 2018 Owner handbook (in English)

Compass/Temperature/AudioPush and release theCOMPASSbutton to dis-
play one of eight compass headings to indicate
the direction the vehicle is facing, the outside
temperature, and the current radio station.
Refer to “Personal Settings (Customer-
Programmable Features)” in this section for
additional information regarding the compass.
Average Fuel EconomyShows the average fuel economy since the last
reset (pushing and holding theRIGHTarrow
button as prompted in the EVIC display to
reset). When the fuel economy is reset, the
display will read “RESET” or show dashes for
two seconds. Then, the history information will
be erased, and the averaging will continue from
the last fuel reading before the reset.
Distance To Empty (DTE)Shows the estimated distance that can be trav-
elled with the fuel remaining in the tank. This
estimated distance is determined by a weighted
average of the instantaneous and average fuel
economy, according to the current fuel tank
level. This is not resettable.NOTE:
Significant changes in driving style or ve-
hicle loading will greatly affect the actual
drivable distance of the vehicle, regardless
of the DTE displayed value.
When the DTE value is less than 30 miles
(48 km) estimated driving distance, the DTE
display will change to a text display of"LOW
FUEL.” This display will continue until the ve-
hicle runs out of fuel. Adding a significant
amount of fuel to the vehicle will turn off the
"LOW FUEL"text and a new DTE value will be
displayed, based on the current values in the
DTE calculation and the current fuel tank level.
Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) — If
Equipped
Refer to “Starting And Operating,” “Tire Pres-
sure Monitoring System (TPMS) for system
operation.
Elapsed TimeShows the total elapsed time of travel since the
last reset. Elapsed time will increment when the
ignition is placed in the RUN/START position.Elapsed time is displayed as follows:
hours: minutes: seconds
Elapsed time can be reset by pushing and
holding theRIGHT
arrow button (as
prompted in the EVIC display). Upon reset, all
digits will change to zeros, and time will start
again if the ignition is in the RUN or START
position.
EVIC Units Selection (Units In
Display)
Displays the units used for the Outside Tem-
perature, Average Fuel Economy, Distance to
Empty, and Tire Pressure features. Push and
release theRIGHT
arrow button to toggle
units between"U.S."and"METRIC."
System WarningsDisplays “SYSTEM OK” if there are no active
Warning Messages stored. Pushing and releas-
ing theDOWN

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Maintenance Schedule — Gasoline
Engine
The Scheduled Maintenance services listed in
this manual must be done at the times or
mileages specified to protect your vehicle war-
ranty and ensure the best vehicle performance
and reliability. More frequent maintenance may
be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and very short
trip driving. Inspection and service should also
be done anytime a malfunction is suspected.
The oil change indicator system will remind you
that it is time to take your vehicle in for sched-
uled maintenance.
On Non-EVIC equipped vehicles, “CHANgE
OIL” will flash in the instrument cluster odom-
eter and a single chime will sound, indicating
that an oil change is necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illuminate
approximately 7,000 miles (11,200 km) after the
most recent oil change was performed. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible,
within 500 miles (800 km). However, an earlieroil change at 4,500 miles (7,500 km) may be
required if the vehicle is operated under “Se-
vere Duty Conditions” later in this section.
NOTE:
•The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle’s oil if it has been 12
months since your last oil change even if
the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.
•Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an ex-
tended period of time.
•Under no circumstances should oil
change intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
Your dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil
change. If this scheduled oil change is per-
formed by someone other than your dealer, the
message can be reset by referring to the steps
described under “Instrument ClusterDescription/Odometer/Trip Odometer” in “Un-
derstanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
•Check the engine oil level about five minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil level while the vehicle is on
level ground will improve the accuracy of the
oil level reading. Add oil only when the level
is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
•Check the windshield washer solvent and
add if required.
•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.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
automatic transmission, brake master cylin-
der and power steering and fill as needed.
•Check all lights and other electrical items for
correct operation.
