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.

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.

WHEELS AND TYRES
SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THE
ROTATION OF THE TYRES
192) 193)97) 98) 99) 100)
The front and rear tyres are subject to
different loads and stress due to steering,
manoeuvres and braking. For this reason
they are subject to uneven wear.
To resolve this problem, tyres should be
rotated at the appropriate time. This
operation is recommended for tyres with
a deep tread pattern, suitable both for
on-road and off-road driving.
Tyre rotation contributes to the
preservation of the grip and traction
performance on wet, muddy or snowy
roads, guaranteeing optimal driveability
of the vehicle.
In the case of irregular wear of the tyres,
the reason must be identified and
corrected before rotating them.
WARNING
192)Do not cross switch the tyres if they
are "unidirectional" type. In this case,
always take care not to fit the tyres with a
direction of rotation that is opposite to
that indicated: you would risk losing grip
and control of the vehicle.
193)Travelling with partially or completely
deflated tyres can cause safety problems
and damage the concerned tyre beyond
repair.
IMPORTANT
97)The road holding qualities of the car
also depend on the correct inflation
pressure of the tyres.
98)If tyre pressure is too low, the tyre may
overheat and be severely damaged as a
result.
99)Do not switch tyres from the
right-hand side of the vehicle to the
left-hand side, and vice versa.100)Never submit alloy rims to repainting
treatments requiring the use of
temperatures exceeding 150°C. The
mechanical properties of the wheels could
be impaired.
SNOW CHAINS
101)
Front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive
versions: 7-mm snow chains can be used
on 215/65 R16 and 215/60 R17 tyres.
Chains cannot be fitted on
225/55 R18 tyres. e di incidenti.
IMPORTANTUse snow chains in
accordance with local regulations of each
country. In certain countries, tyres
marked with code M+S (Mud and Snow)
are considered as winter equipment;
therefore their use is equivalent to that of
the snow chains.
The snow chains may be applied only to
the front wheel tyres.
Check the tension of the snow chains
after the first few metres have been
driven.
Using snow chains with tyres with
non-original dimensions may damage the
vehicle.
Using different size or type (M+S, snow,
etc.) tyres between front and rear axle
may adversely affect vehicle driveability,

All approved tyres are listed in the
Registration Document.
IMPORTANT If there are any
discrepancies between the “Owner
Handbook” and the “Registration
Document”, take the information from
the latter. For safe driving, the car
must be fitted with tyres of the same
make and type on all wheels.
IMPORTANT Do not use air chambers

WARNING
194)If winter tyres with a lower speed
rating than that indicated in the
Registration Document are used, do not
exceed the maximum speed corresponding
to the speed rating of the tyres used.
195)DO NOT fit wheel hub caps when
using integral hub caps fixed (with
springs) to the steel rim and after sale
tyres provided with Rim Protector. Use of
unsuitable tyres and wheel caps may
cause sudden decrease of tyre pressure.

MINIMUM GROUND CLEARANCE/TYPICAL ANGLES
"Minimum ground clearance" (reference A)
The clearance value is measured next to the lower edge of the differential. This value also defines those for the "Approach angle" the
"Departure angle" and the "Breakover angle".
Dimensions are expressed in mm and refer to the car equipped with its original tyres.
Front wheel drive (FWD) versions: 171 mm
Four-wheel drive (4WD) versions: 201 mm
Trailhawk versions with four wheel drive (4WD LOW): 225 mm
"Approach angle" (reference B )
The approach angle is determined by the horizontal line of the road surface and by the tangent line passing between the front wheel
and the most projecting low point of the car.
