KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

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 car for short drives, preventing the engine from reaching
operating temperature.
Contact a Jeep Dealership as soon as possible.
IMPORTANT
30)If thewarning light comes on, the exhausted engine oil should be changed as soon as possible, never drive more than 500 km
from the first switching-on of this warning light. Failure to observe the above may result in severe damage to the engine and invalidate the
warranty. Remember that when this warning light comes on, it does not mean that the level of engine oil is low, so if it flashes you do not
need to top up the engine oil.
31)If the
warning light flashes when driving, contact a Jeep Dealership.

Symbol What it means
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.
IMPORTANT
32)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. Do not complete the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is stopped.
