Symbol What it means
ENGINE OIL DETERIORATED
(where provided)
Diesel versions: the symbol is displayed on some versions, along with a dedicated message displaying.
The symbol is displayed for 3 minute cycles and intervals of 5 seconds until oil is changed.
The symbol is displayed until the problem is solved.
Petrol versions: the symbol switches on and then is not displayed when the display cycle is completed.
IMPORTANT After the first indication, each time the engine is started the symbol will continue to switch on
as described above until the oil is changed. On certain versions a dedicated message is displayed.
If the symbol flashes, this does not mean that there is a fault on the vehicle, rather it simply reports that it is
now necessary to change the oil as a result of regular use of the vehicle.
The deterioration of engine oil is accelerated by using the vehicle for short drives, preventing the engine
from reaching operating temperature.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
20) 21)
WARNING
20)Deteriorated engine oil should be replaced as soon as possible after the symbol is switched on, and never more than 500 km after it first
switches on. Failure to observe the above indications may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the warranty. The switching
on of this symbol is not correlated to the quantity of oil in the engine, therefore if it flashes you do not need to top up the engine oil.
21)If the symbol flashes whilst driving, contact a Jeep Dealership.

KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

Symbol What it means
EXTERIOR LIGHTS FAILURE
the symbol switches on to indicate a failure on the following lights: daytime running lights (DRLs); parking
lights; trailer direction indicators (if present); trailer lights (if present); side lights; direction indicators; fog
light; reversing light; brake lights; number plate lights.
The failure may be caused by a blown bulb, a blown protection fuse or an interruption of the electrical
connection.
DPF CLEANING (particulate trap) in progress (diesel versions with DPF only)
The symbol switches on constantly to indicate that the DPF system needs to eliminate the trapped
pollutants (particulate) through the regeneration process.
The symbol does not switch on during every DPF regeneration, but only when driving conditions require
that the driver is notified. To turn off the symbol, keep the vehicle in motion until the regeneration process is
over. On average, the process lasts 15 minutes. Optimal conditions for completing the process are
achieved by travelling at 60 km/h with engine speed above 2000 rpm.
When this symbol switches on, it does not indicate a vehicle failure and thus it should not be taken to a
workshop. On some versions, together with the symbol switching on, the display shows a dedicated
message.
22)
WARNING
22)Vehicle travel speed should always be adapted to the traffic and weather conditions, and must always comply with traffic regulations. The
engine can be stopped even if the DPF warning light is on: however, repeated interruptions of the regeneration process could cause
premature deterioration of the engine oil. For this reason it is always advisable to wait for the symbol to go off before turning off the engine,
following the instructions above. It is not advisable to complete DPF regeneration with the vehicle stationary.
