INTRODUCTIONThe oil change indicator system will remind you that
it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance. Based on engine operation condition
the oil change indicator message will illuminate, this
means that service is required for your vehicle. Have
your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the
next 800 km. The oil change indicator message will
not monitor the time since the last oil change. Change
your vehicles oil if it has been 6 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 13,000 km or
6 months, whichever comes first.Your dealer will
reset the oil change indicator message after complet-
ing the scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil
change is performed by someone other than yourdealer the message can be reset by referring to the
steps described in the Owner’s Manual.
The performance of all scheduled service work is
required to maintain your vehicle in good operat-
ing condition. Chrysler Canada Inc. reserves the
right to deny warranty coverage if the vehicle has
not been properly maintained. While we do not
insist that such work be performed by factory
authorized retailers, we strongly recommend that
an authorized Chrysler, Jeepor Dodge Retailer
perform this work.
AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
•Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes
after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Check-
ing 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.ONCE A MONTH
•Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
•Inspect the battery and clean and tighten the
terminals as required.
•Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder, power steering and
transmission and add as needed.
•Check all lights and other electrical items for
correct operation.
•Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if
required.
AT EACH OIL CHANGE
•Change the engine oil filter.
•Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
VISUAL INSPECTIONS —
INSPECT FOR SIGNS OF COMPONENT
DETERIORATION AND PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
MAINTENANCEScheduled maintenance must be completed to provide the best vehicle performance and reliability. The limited warranties in the
warranty booklet DO NOT COVER repairs required due to improper maintenance. We strongly suggest you keep track of scheduled maintenance and keep receipts
or other documents. Use only recommended MoparLubricants and genuine MoparParts. In the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals,
please contact your retailer. AVOID PROLONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
