2019 JEEP CHEROKEE warning

CAUTION!
• Never add anything other than AdBlue
(UREA) to the tank – especially any form
of hydrocarbon such as diesel fuel, fuel
system additives, gasoline, or any other
petroleum-based product. Even a very
small amount of these, less than
100 parts per million or less than 1 oz.
(30 ml) per 78 gallons (295 liters) will
contaminate the entire AdBlue (UREA)
system and will require replacement. If
owners use a container, funnel or nozzle
when refilling the tank, it should either
be new or one that is has only been used
for adding AdBlue (UREA). Mopar pro-
vides an attachable nozzle with its Ad-
Blue (UREA) for this purpose.3. Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank im-
mediately when any of the following hap-
pen: AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill
inlet, or a AdBlue (UREA) pump nozzle
automatically shuts off.
4. After removing the nozzle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened. Cycle
the ignition to the ACC position (no need
to start the engine).
5. Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the
vehicle, the warning light may stay on for
a few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for
a longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality. If
topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.When Refueling The Additive For Diesel Emis-
sions AdBlue (UREA) With Bottle:
• Park the vehicle on level ground.
• Turn off the engine by cycling the ignition to
the OFF position.
• Open the fuel filler and then unscrew and
remove the cap from the AdBlue (UREA)
filler.
• Press the bottom of the bottle towards the
filler to release the bottle's safety valve and
start topping up; if the level of AdBlue
(UREA) in the bottle.
• Stop filling the AdBlue (UREA) tank imme-
diately when any of the following happen:
AdBlue (UREA) stops flowing from the fill
bottle into the AdBlue (UREA) fill inlet,
AdBlue (UREA) splashes out the fill inlet.
• If the level of AdBlue (UREA) in the bottle
does not drop while topping up, it means
that you have filled the reservoir, so pull the
bottle towards you to re-close the bottle's
safety valve and unscrew the bottle from
the filler.

• After removing the bottle, refit the cap on
the AdBlue (UREA) filler by turning it
clockwise until it is fully tightened.
• Cycle the ignition to the ACC position (no
need to start the engine).
• Wait for the warning on the instrument
panel to switch off before moving the ve-
hicle, the warning light may stay on for a
few seconds to half a minute. In case of
engine start-up and movement of the ve-
hicle, the warning light will remain on for a
longer period of time, but there are no
problems on the engine functionality.
• If topping up is done with the AdBlue
(UREA) tank empty, you have to wait two
minutes before starting the vehicle.
NOTE:
The driving conditions (altitude, vehicle
speed, load, etc.) determine the quantity of
AdBlue (UREA) used by the vehicle.AdBlue Tank Filling (UREA) In Cold Environ-
ments
If the vehicle remains idle for a long period at
temperatures below the 12°F (-11 °C), the
AdBlue (UREA) in the tank might freeze. If
the tank AdBlue (UREA) was filled beyond
the maximum level and freezes, it can be
damaged; for this reason it is advisable not to
exceed the maximum level of the tank.
Pay extra attention to avoid exceeding the
maximum level when you use portable con-
tainers for topping up.
Use AdBlue (UREA) only according to DIN
70 070 and ISO 22241-1. Other fluids may
cause damage to the system: also exhaust
emissions would no longer comply with the
law. The distribution companies are respon-
sible for the compliance of their product.Observe the precautions of storage and ser-
vicing, in order to preserve the initial quali-
ties. The manufacturer of the vehicle does
not recognise any guarantee in case of mal-
functions and damage caused to the vehicle
due to the use of AdBlue (UREA) not in
accordance with regulations.

JACKING AND TIRE
CHANGING
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traf-
fic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid
the danger of being hit when operating
the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dan-
gerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be
crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you
need to get under a raised vehicle, take
it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
• Never start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on a jack.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool
for changing tires only. The jack should
not be used to lift the vehicle for service
purposes. The vehicle should be jacked
on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.
Jack Location/Spare Tire Stowage
The jack, wheel chocks, and spare tire are
stowed under the load floor behind the rear
seat.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Lift the load floor handle, then lift access
cover to locate jack and tools.3. Remove the hook from the stowed posi-
tion on the back side of the load floor and
place the hook over the top body flange
and weather seal. This will hold the load
floor up while obtaining the jack and
spare tire.
4. Remove the fastener securing the jack
and spare tire.
5. Remove the chocks.
6. Remove the scissors jack and wheel bolt
wrench from the spare wheel as an assem-
bly. Turn the jack screw to the left to
loosen the wheel bolt wrench, and remove
the wrench from the jack assembly.
NOTE:
The jack handle attaches to the side of the
jack with two attachment points. When
the jack is partially expanded, the tension
between the two attachment points holds
the jack handle in place.

collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.
Preparations For Jacking
1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface as
far from the edge of the roadway as pos-
sible. Avoid icy or slippery areas.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side
of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull
far enough off the road to avoid being hit
when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.

Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
1. Remove the spare tire, jack, wheel
chocks, and wheel bolt wrench.
2. If equipped with aluminum wheels where
the center cap covers the wheel bolts, use
the wheel bolt wrench to pry the center
cap off carefully before raising the
vehicle.
3. Before raising the vehicle, use the wheel
bolt wrench to loosen, but not remove, the
wheel bolts on the wheel with the flat tire.
Turn the wheel bolts counterclockwise
one turn while the wheel is still on the
ground.
