MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
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.AVOID PRO-
LONGED PERIODS OF IDLING.
NOTE: WHERE TIME AND METRAGE ARE INDICATED, FOLLOW THE INTERVAL THAT OCCURS FIRST.
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic oil change indicator system. The oil change indicator
system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Based on
engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate. This means that service
is required for your vehicle. Operating conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and
extremely hot or cold ambient temperatures will influence when the “Change Oil” message is
displayed. Severe operating conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as early as
5,600 kilometres since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as possible, within the next 800
kilometres.
NOTE: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD OIL CHANGE INTERVALS EXCEED 16,000 KILOMETRES, TWELVE MONTHS OR 350 HOURS OF ENGINE RUN
TIME, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THE 350 HOURS OF ENGINE RUN OR
IDLE TIME IS GENERALLY ONLY A CONCERN FOR FLEET CUSTOMERS.
SEVERE DUTY:
CHANGE ENGINE OIL AT 6,500 KILOMETRES IF THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED IN A
DUSTY AND OFF-ROAD ENVIRONMENT OR IS OPERATED PREDOMINATELY AT
IDLE OR ONLY VERY LOW ENGINE RPM’s. THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE USE IS
CONSIDERED SEVERE DUTY.
ONCE A MONTH OR BEFORE A LONG TRIP:
• Check engine oil level.
• Check windshield washer fluid level.
• Check and clean wiper blades. Replace if required.
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoir and brake master cylinder. Fill as needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights.
REQUIRED MAINTENANCE
Refer to the Maintenance Schedules on the following pages for required maintenance.
AT EVERY OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AS INDICATED BY OIL CHANGE INDICATOR
SYSTEM:
• Change engine oil and filter. Oil changes prompted by the oil change indicator system can be
recorded in the oil change log section.
• 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 brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, hoses and park brake.
• Inspect engine cooling system protection and hoses.
• Inspect exhaust system.
• Inspect engine air filter if using in dusty or off-road conditions.
WARNING!
• The performance of all scheduled service work is required to maintain your vehicle in good
operating condition. FCA 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 FCA
Retailer perform this work.
