MAINTENANCE Scheduled 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 Mopar Lubricants and genuine Mopar
®Parts. In
the event that a condition arises between maintenance intervals, please contact your retailer. AV O I D

AT EACH STOP FOR FUEL
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes after
a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking 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 the 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 the lights and all other electrical items
for correct operation.
• Check rubber seals on each side of the radiator
for proper fit.

There are two maintenance schedules
contained in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule
“B” best describes operating conditions in
Canada and is the recommended service
schedule. For your convenience, the scheduled
maintenance intervals outlined in this booklet
follow the Severe Service Schedule as described
in your Owner’s Manual. Schedule “B” is for
vehicles that are operated under one or more of
the following conditions: day or night tempera-
tures are below 0°C (90°F); stop-and-go driving;
extensive engine idling; driving in dusty
conditions; short trips of less than 16.2 km (10mi.); more than 50% of your driving is at
sustained high speeds during hot weather,
above 32°C (90°F); trailer towing; taxi, police, or
delivery service (commercial service); off-road
or desert driving; if equipped for and operating
with E-85 (ethanol) fuel. Schedule “A” is for
vehicles that are not operated under any of the
conditions listed under Schedule “B.”
The performance of all scheduled service
work is required to maintain your vehicle in
good operating condition. DaimlerChrysler
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, Jeep
®or Dodge
Retailer perform this work. INTRODUCTION
