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.
Scheduled Servicing — Gasoline Engine
The oil change indicator system (if
equipped) will remind you that it is time to
take your vehicle in for engine oil replace -
ment.
On vehicles equipped with instrument
cluster display, “Oil Change Required” will
be displayed and a single chime will sound,
indicating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the
instrument cluster odometer and a single
chime will sound, indicating that an oil
change is necessary. The oil change indicator message will illumi
-
nate 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 earlier oil
change at 4,500 miles (7,500 km) may be
required if the vehicle is operated under
“Severe 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 extended
period of time.
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
An authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the
scheduled oil change.

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and
does not require adjustment under normal
operating conditions. Routine fluid level
checks are not required; therefore the trans-
mission has no dipstick. An authorized
dealer can check your transmission fluid
level using special service tools. If you notice
fluid leakage or transmission malfunction,
visit an authorized dealer immediately to
have the transmission fluid level checked.
Operating the vehicle with an improper fluid
level can cause severe transmission damage.
RAISING THE VEHICLE
In the case where it is necessary to raise the
vehicle, go to an authorized dealer or service
station.
TIRES
Tires — General Information
Tire Pressure
Proper tire inflation pressure is essential to
the safe and satisfactory operation of your
vehicle. Four primary areas are affected by
improper tire pressure:
Safety
Fuel Economy
Tread Wear
Ride Comfort and Vehicle Stability
Safety Both underinflation and overinflation affect
the stability of the vehicle and can produce
a feeling of sluggish response or over respon
-
siveness in the steering.
NOTE:
Unequal tire pressures from side to side
may cause erratic and unpredictable
steering response.
Unequal tire pressure from side to side
may cause the vehicle to drift left or right.
Fuel Economy

Underinflated tires will increase tire rolling
resistance resulting in higher fuel consumption.

CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an
authorized dealer immediately. Severe
transmission damage may occur. An
authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous
and can cause collisions.
Underinflation increases tire flexing and
can result in overheating and tire failure.
Overinflation reduces a tire's ability to
cushion shock. Objects on the road and
chuckholes can cause damage that
result in tire failure.

Overinflated or underinflated tires can affect
vehicle handling and can fail suddenly,
resulting in loss of vehicle control.

Unequal tire pressures can cause
steering problems. You could lose
control of your vehicle.
Unequal tire pressures from one side of
the vehicle to the other can cause the
vehicle to drift to the right or left.

Always drive with each tire inflated to the
recommended cold tire inflation pressure.
