WARNING: DO NOT USE starting fluids (ether) or flammable liquids to
aid the starting of a Cummins Turbo-Diesel. NEVER pour diesel
fuel, flammable liquids or starting fluids into the air
cleaner canister, air intake or turbocharger housing in an
attempt to start the vehicle. A flash fire may result causing
personal injury.
TRANSFER CASE
CAUTION: Both drive axles are disengaged when transmission gear is
in Neutral position. Always set parking brake when leaving
vehicle unattended.
CAUTION: Never attempt to engage Low range when vehicle is moving
faster than 2-3 MPH (3-5 KM/H). Transfer case damage may
result.
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL
CAUTION: Exclusive use of gasohol is not recommended. Vehicle test
results have shown that significant fuel system corrosion
can result when gasohol is used exclusively. Fuel additives
which are now being sold as octane enhancers are not
recommended. Most of these products contain high
concentrations of methanol.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
CAUTION: Due to the different warranties offered in various regions
and the variety of after-market extended warranties
available, please refer to the warranty package that came
with the vehicle to verify all warranty options.

vehicle is free from defects under normal use and service for 12
months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
POWERTRAIN PROTECTION LIMITED WARRANTY
Begins at 12 months or 12,000 miles and lasts for 7 years or
70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Warranty covers Engine,
Transmission, Transfer Case, and Drive Shaft/Drive Axle(s) for RWD &
4WD.
Items not covered include, normal scheduled maintenance,
tune-ups, clutch adjustments, lack of proper maintenance, and vehicles
on which the mileage cannot readily be determined. A 100.00 deductible
on 2WD models and a 150.00 deductible on 4WD models applies to each
repair visit.
Powertrain Warranty also covers cost of towing to nearest
Jeep Dealer if vehicle cannot be driven due to failure of a covered
powertrain part.
ANTI-CORROSION PERFORATION WARRANTY
Warrants the sheet metal parts of the vehicle against
perforation (rust-through) due to corrosion. It covers any body sheet
metal panel for unlimited mileage during the first 36 months. Outer-
body sheet metal panels are covered for 7 years or 100,000 miles,
