the message can be reset by referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC)/Oil Change Required” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or twelve
months, whichever comes first.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, power steering andtransmission as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the following page for the required maintenance
intervals.
At Every Oil Change Interval As Indicated By Oil Change Indicator System:
• Change oil and filter.
• Rotate the tires. Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs before the oil
indicator system turns on.
• Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals as required.
• Inspect automatic transmission fluid if equipped with dipstick.
• Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
• Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
• Inspect exhaust system.
• Inspect engine air cleaner if using in dusty or off-road conditions.

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly and inflate
to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
•
The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Informa-
tion” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE:
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for
more information regarding tire warnings and
instructions.

WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehiclehandling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load
capacity for your vehicle . Never overload them.
•
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions. Under-inflation is the leading
cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component separation, or “blow out”.
Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes
can cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can cause steering
problems. You could lose control of your vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can
affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleans regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust the following MOPAR® wheel cleaners are recommended or select a non-abrasive, non acidic cleaner.
• For chrome wheels, use MOPAR® Chrome Cleaner (Part# 04318013) or equivalent.
• For aluminum wheels, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner (Part# 04796239AB) or equivalent.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven
cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic car
washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
