2019 JEEP CHEROKEE engine

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION
NUMBER
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is
found on the left front corner of the instru-
ment panel. The VIN is visible from outside of
the vehicle through the windshield. The VIN
number also is stamped into the right front
body, on the right front seat cross member.
With the seat in the rear most position a flap
in the carpet can be cut open and lifted to
reveal the VIN. It also appears on the Auto-
mobile Information Disclosure Label affixed
to a window on your vehicle, the vehicle
registration, and the title.
The VIN is also stamped on either right or left
hand side of the engine block.NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to
ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to
the vehicle. Any time a wheel has been re-
moved and reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug

nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly
calibrated torque wrench using a high quality
six sided (hex) deep wall socket.

**Use only an authorized dealer recom-
mended lug nuts/bolts and clean or remove
any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to
mounting the tire and remove any corrosion
or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern
until each nut/bolt has been tightened twice.
Ensure that the socket is fully engaged on the
lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/
bolt torque to be sure that all the lug nuts/
bolts are properly seated against the wheel.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off
the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts
fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
Failure to follow this warning may result in
personal injury.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
GASOLINE ENGINE
This engine is designed to meet all emissions
regulations and provide excellent fuel
economy and performance when using high
quality unleaded gasoline with a minimum
research octane rating (RON) of 91.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued
heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause
damage, and immediate service is required.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems
such as hard starting, stalling, and hesita-
tions. If you experience these symptoms, try
another brand of gasoline before considering
service for the vehicle.
Torque PatternTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Methanol
(Methyl) is used in a variety of concentrations
when blended with unleaded gasoline. You
may find fuels containing 3% or more metha-
nol along with other alcohols called cosol-
vents. Problems that result from using
methanol/gasoline are not the responsibility
of the manufacturer. While MTBE is an oxy-
genate made from Methanol, it does not have
the negative effects of Methanol.
WARNING!
Do not use gasolines containing Methanol.
Use of these blends may result in starting
and drivability problems and may damage
critical fuel system components.
Ethanol
The manufacturer recommends that your ve-
hicle be operated on fuel containing no more
than 15% ethanol. Purchasing your fuel from
a reputable supplier may reduce the risk of
exceeding this 15% limit and/or of receiving
fuel with abnormal properties. It should also
be noted that an increase in fuel consump-
tion should be expected when using ethanol-
blended fuels, due to the lower energy con-
tent of ethanol. Problems that result from
using methanol/gasoline or E-85 ethanol
blends are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer.
CAUTION!
Use of fuel with Ethanol content higher
than 15% may result in engine malfunc-
tion, starting and operating difficulties,
and materials degradation. These adverse
effects could result in permanent damage
to your vehicle.
Clean Air Gasoline
Many gasolines are now being blended to
contribute to cleaner air, especially in those
areas where air pollution levels are high.
These new blends provide a cleaner burning
fuel and some are referred to as “reformu-
lated gasoline.”
The manufacturer supports these efforts to-
ward cleaner air. You can help by using these
blends as they become available.
CNG And LP Fuel System Modifications
Modifications that allow the engine to run on
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid
Propane (LP) may result in damage to the
engine, emissions, and fuel system compo-
nents. Problems that result from running
CNG or LP are not the responsibility of the
manufacturer and may void or not be covered
under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS —
DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable
supplier. If the outside temperature is very
low, the diesel fuel thickens due to the for-
mation of paraffin clots with consequent de-
fective operation of the fuel supply system.
In order to avoid these problems different
types of fuel are distributed according to the
season: summer type, winter type and arctic
type (cold/mountain areas). If fueling with
diesel fuel whose features are not suitable for
the temperature of use, it is advisable to mix
in a suitable additive with the fuel. With the
proportions shown on the container, pour the
additive in the tank before fueling.When using or parking the vehicle for a long
time in the mountains or cold areas, it is
advisable to refuel using locally available
fuel. In this case, it is also advisable to keep
the tank over half full.
This vehicle must only use premium diesel
fuel that meets the requirements of EN 590.
Biodiesel blends up to 7% that meet EN
590 may also be used.
WARNING!
Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel-
blending agent. They can be unstable un-
der certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
CAUTION!
The manufacturer requires that you must
fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm Sulfur maxi-
mum) and prohibits the use of Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of wa-
ter. To prevent fuel system trouble, drain the
accumulated water from the fuel/water sepa-
rator using the provided fuel/water separator
drain. If you buy good quality fuel and follow
the cold weather advice above, fuel condi-
tioners should not be required in your ve-
hicle. If available in your area, a high cetane
“premium” diesel fuel may offer improved
cold-starting and warm-up performance.

Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
that has been thoroughly developed and
tested in order to meet the requirements ofthe Scheduled Servicing Plan. Constant use
of the prescribed lubricants guarantees the
fuel consumption and emission specifica-
tions. Lubricant quality is crucial for engine
operation and duration. If lubricants con-forming to the specific request are not avail-
able, products that meet the indicated speci-
fications can be used to top up, in this case
optimal performance of the engine is not
guaranteed.
