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 completing the
scheduled oil change. If this scheduled oil change is performed by someone other than your dealer 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 operating
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. 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 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.
