ENGINE OIL
179)84)
Check that the oil level is between the
MIN and MAX references on the dipstick
A. If the oil level is near or even under
the MIN line, add oil using the filler B to
reach the MAX line.
Take out the engine oil dipstick A, clean
it with a lint-free cloth and reinsert it.
Extract it again and check that the level
is between the MIN and MAX marks on
the dipstick.
Engine oil consumption
85)4)
The maximum engine oil consumption is
usually 400 grams every 1,000 km.
During the initial period of use the
engine oil consumption conditions
should be considered as having stabilised
after the first 5000 - 6000 km.
ENGINE COOLANT
180)86)
If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir C and add the fluid described in

TRANSMISSION ACTUATION
SYSTEM OIL
5)
The transmission control oil level should
only be checked at a Jeep Dealership.
BATTERY
185) 186) 187) 188)6)
The battery does not require the
electrolyte to be topped up with distilled
water. A periodic check carried out at a
Jeep Dealership is, however, necessary to
check efficiency.
IMPORTANT After the battery is
disconnected, the steering must be
initialised. The
warning light on the
instrument panel switches on to
indicate this. To carry out this
procedure turn the steering wheel all
the way from one end to the other or
drive in a straight line for about a
hundred metres.
IMPORTANT If the charge level
remains under 50% for a long time,
the battery is damaged by sulphation,
reducing its capacity and efficiency at
start-up.
CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM
MAINTENANCE
In winter, the climate control system
must be turned on at least once a month
for about 10 minutes. Have the system
inspected at a Jeep Dealership before the
summer.
WARNING
177)Never smoke while working in the
engine compartment: gas and
inflammable vapours may be present, with
the risk of fire.

92)Always require the use of only
compressor coolants and lubricants
approved and suitable for the specific air
conditioning system fitted on the vehicle.
Some non-approved coolants are
flammable and may explode, with the risk
of injuries. The use of non-approved
coolants or lubricants may adversely affect
system efficiency, leading to expensive
repairs.
93)The air conditioner system contains
coolant under high pressure: to avoid
injuries to people or damage to the
system, any coolant addition or repair that
requires to disconnect the cables must be
carried out by a Jeep Dealership.94)Vehicles equipped with catalytic
converter must be fuelled only with
unleaded petrol. Leaded petrol would
permanently damage the catalytic
converter and eliminate its ability to
reduce polluting emissions, seriously
compromising the engine performance,
which would be irreparably damaged. If
the engine does not work correctly,
especially if it starts irregularly or if there
is a reduction of its performance,
immediately go to a Jeep Dealership.
Prolonged and faulty operation of the
engine may cause overheating of the
converter and, as a consequence, possible
damage to the converter and the vehicle.
95)Using a gearbox fluid different from
that approved may compromise
gearshifting quality and/or cause vibration
of the gearbox itself.
96)It is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced by a Jeep Dealership. When
carrying out normal periodic operations
and small servicing interventions
personally on the vehicle, it is
recommended to use suitable equipment,
genuine spare parts and the necessary
fluids. Do not carry out any interventions if
you don't have the necessary experience.LIFTING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle is to be lifted, go to a Jeep
Dealership which is equipped with the
arm lift or workshop lift.
