fuel pump JEEP PATRIOT 2019 Owner handbook (in English)

NOTE:
Some of the above warnings will be dis-
played in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center Display Area located in the instru-
ment cluster.
Refer to ”Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) — If Equipped” in this section for further
information.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the
odometer display will toggle between LoW and
tirE for three cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed,
or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display
in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel
filler cap properly and push the STEP button on
the steering wheel to turn off the message. If the
problem continues, the message will appear the
next time the vehicle is started.noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly
installed, or damaged, a “noFUSE” message
will display in the odometer display area. Refer
to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
further information on fuses and fuse locations.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The odometer display
will toggle betweenCHAngEandOilfor ap-
proximately 12 seconds, after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle-based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.
5. Fuel Gauge
•The pointer shows the level of fuel in the
fuel tank when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position.•The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel door is
located.
WARNING AND INDICATOR
LIGHTS
IMPORTANT:The warning / indicator lights
switch on in the instrument panel together with
a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indica-
tive and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read carefully
in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different
based upon equipment options and current
vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and
may not appear.

methanol/gasoline or E-85 ethanol blends are
not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher than
15% may result in engine malfunction, start-
ing and operating difficulties, and materials
degradation. These adverse effects could
result in permanent damage to your vehicle.
Clean Air GasolineMany gasolines are now being blended that
contribute to cleaner air, especially in those
areas where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and
some are referred to as “reformulated gasoline.”
The manufacturer supports these efforts toward
cleaner air. You can help by using these blends
as they become available.
MMT In GasolineMMT is a manganese containing metallic addi-
tive that is blended into some gasoline to in-
crease octane. Gasoline blended with MMTprovides no performance advantage beyond
gasoline of the same octane number without
MMT. Gasoline blended with MMT reduces
spark plug life and reduces emission system
performance in some vehicles. The manufac-
turer recommends that gasoline without MMT
be used in your vehicle. The MMT content of
gasoline may not be indicated on the gasoline
pump; therefore, you should ask your gasoline
retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains
MMT.
Materials Added To FuelBesides using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, gasolines that contain
detergents, corrosion and stability additives are
recommended. Using gasolines that have these
additives will help improve fuel economy, re-
duce emissions, and maintain vehicle perfor-
mance.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these ma-
terials intended for gum and varnish removal
may contain active solvents or similar ingredi-ents. These can harm fuel system gasket and
diaphragm materials.
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is
deadly. Follow the precautions below to pre-
vent carbon monoxide poisoning:
•Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odor-
less gas which can kill. Never run the
engine in a closed area, such as a garage,
and never sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running for an extended period. If
the vehicle is stopped in an open area with
the engine running for more than a short
period, adjust the ventilation system to
force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
