Warning light What it means
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH
The warning light (or the icon on the display) on some versions switches on when the engine is
overheated. The display shows the dedicated message.
When driving normally: stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check that the water level in the
reservoir is not below the MIN mark. If it is, wait for the engine to cool down, then slowly and carefully
open the cap, top up with coolant and check that the level is between the MIN and MAX marks on the
reservoir. Also check visually for any fluid leaks. If, when restarting, the warning light switches on (or
the icon is displayed) again, contact a Jeep Dealership.
If the vehicle is used under demanding conditions(e.g. in high-performance driving): slow down and, if
the warning light stays on, stop the vehicle. Wait for 2 or 3 minutes with the engine running and
slightly accelerated to further favour the coolant circulation. Then stop the engine. Check the correct
coolant level as described above.
IMPORTANT Over demanding routes, it is advisable to keep the engine on and slightly accelerated for a
few minutes before switching it off.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car under
the best conditions. 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.
Before each coupon however you always
need to pay attention to what is written
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g.
periodically check liquid levels, tire
pressure, etc.).
The Scheduled Servicing is carried out
by the Jeep Assistance Network at
pre-set times. 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. If your
car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advisable to inform aJeep Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the
next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;brake fluid level;windscreen washer fluid level;tyre inflation pressure and condition;operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
Law enforcement (or security service),
taxi service
towing a trailer or caravan;dusty roads;short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks, cleanliness
and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber
elements (gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace pollen
filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.
