KNOWING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car under
the best conditions. For this reason, Jeep
has planned a series of checks and
services at fixed distance intervals and,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described in the Scheduled Servicing
Plan.
Before each coupon however you always
need to pay attention to what is written
in the Scheduled Servicing Plan (e.g.
periodically check liquid levels, tire
pressure, etc.).
The Scheduled Servicing is carried out
by the Jeep Assistance Network at
pre-set times. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with the
owner's explicit agreement only. If your
car is used frequently for towing, the
interval between one scheduled servicing
operation and the next should be
reduced.
IMPORTANT Scheduled Servicing
interventions are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the
warranty. It is advisable to inform aJeep Dealership of any small operating
irregularities without waiting for the
next service.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every1,000km or before long trips
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level;brake fluid level;windscreen washer fluid level;tyre inflation pressure and condition;operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of screen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of
windscreen/rear window wiper blades.
Every3,000km, check and top up if
required: engine oil level.
DEMANDING USE OF THE CAR
If the vehicle is used in one of the
following conditions:
Law enforcement (or security service),
taxi service
towing a trailer or caravan;dusty roads;short, repeated journeys (less than
7-8 km) at sub-zero outside
temperatures;
engine often idling or driving long
distances at low speeds or long periods
of inactivity;the following checks must be carried out
more often than indicated in the
Scheduled Service Plan:
check front disc brake pad condition
and wear;
check cleanliness of bonnet and
luggage compartment locks, cleanliness
and lubrication of linkage;
visually inspect conditions of: engine,
gearbox, transmission, pipes and hoses
(exhaust/fuel system/brakes) and rubber
elements (gaiters/sleeves/bushes, etc.);
check battery charge and battery fluid
level (electrolyte);
visually inspect conditions of the
accessory drive belts;
check and, if necessary, change
engine oil and replace oil filter;
check and, if necessary, replace pollen
filter;
check and, if necessary, replace air
cleaner.

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

If the level is too low, unscrew the cap of
reservoir C and add the fluid described in
the "Technical Specifications" section.

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.

88)Incorrect installation of electric and
electronic devices may cause severe
damage to your car. After purchasing your
vehicle, if you wish to install any
accessories (e.g. anti-theft, radio phone,
etc.), go to a Jeep Dealership, which will
suggest the most suitable devices and
advise you whether a higher capacity
battery needs to be installed.
IMPORTANT
4)Used engine oil and oil filters contain
substances which are harmful to the
environment. To change the oil and filters,
it is advisable to contact a Jeep Dealership
5)Used transmission oil contains
substances that may be dangerous for the
environment. It is advisable to contact a
Jeep Dealership to have the fluid changed.
6)Batteries contain substances which are
very dangerous for the environment. For
battery replacement, contact a Jeep
Dealership.
BATTERY RECHARGING
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT After placing the ignition
device to STOP and having closed the
driver side door, wait at least one
minute before disconnecting the
electrical supply from the battery.
When reconnecting the electrical
supply to the battery, make sure that
the ignition device is in the STOP
position and the driver side door is
closed.
IMPORTANT Charging should be slow
at a low ampere rating for
approximately 24 hours. Charging for a
longer time may damage the battery.
IMPORTANT The cables of the
electrical system must be correctly
reconnected to the battery, i.e. the
positive cable (+) to the positive
terminal and the negative cable (–) to
the negative terminal. The battery
terminals are marked with the positive
(+) and negative (–) symbols, and are
shown on the battery cover. The battery
terminals must also be corrosion-free
and firmly secured to the terminals. If
a "quick-type" battery charger is used
with the battery fitted on the vehicle,before connecting it disconnect both
cables of the battery itself. Do not use
a "quick-type" battery charger to
provide the starting voltage.
VERSIONS WITHOUT
STOP/START SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:disconnect the terminal from the
negative battery pole;
connect the charger cables to the
battery terminals, observing the polarity;
turn on the charger;when it is recharged, turn the charger
off before disconnecting it from the
battery;
reconnect the negative battery
terminal.
VERSIONS WITH STOP/START
SYSTEM
To recharge, proceed as follows:disconnect the connector A
fig. 202 (pressing the button B) from the
sensor C monitoring the battery
conditions, on the negative pole (–) D of
the battery;
connect the positive cable (+) of the
battery charger to the positive battery
terminal E and the negative cable (–) to
sensor terminal D as shown;
turn on the battery charger. At the end
of the charging process, switch the
