If the sealant (white fluid) does not flow within 0
– 10 seconds through the Sealant Hose (6):
1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn Off the
Tire Service Kit. Disconnect the Sealant
Hose (6) from the valve stem. Make sure
the valve stem is free of debris. Reconnect
the Sealant Hose (6) to the valve stem.
Check that the Mode Select Knob (5) is in
the Sealant Mode position and not Air
Mode. Push the Power Button (4) to turn
On the Tire Service Kit.
2. Connect the Power Plug (8) to a different
12 Volt power outlet in your vehicle or
another vehicle, if available. Make sure
the engine is running before turning ON
the Tire Service Kit.
3. The Sealant Bottle (1) may be empty due
to previous use. Call for assistance.
NOTE:
If the Mode Select Knob (5) is on Air Mode
and the pump is operating, air will dispense
from the Air Pump Hose (7) only, not the
Sealant Hose (6).If the sealant (white fluid) does flow through the
Sealant Hose (6):
1. Continue to operate the pump until seal-
ant is no longer flowing through the hose
(typically takes 30 - 70 seconds). As the
sealant flows through the Sealant Hose
(6), the Pressure Gauge (3) can read as
high as 70 psi (4.8 Bar). The Pressure
Gauge (3) will decrease quickly from ap-
proximately 70 psi (4.8 Bar) to the actual
tire pressure when the Sealant Bottle (1)
is empty.
2. The pump will start to inject air into the
tire immediately after the Sealant Bottle
(1) is empty. Continue to operate the
pump and inflate the tire to the pressure
indicated on the tire pressure label on the
driver-side latch pillar (recommended
pressure). Check the tire pressure by look-
ing at the Pressure Gauge (3).
If the tire does not inflate to at least 26 psi
(1.8 Bar) pressure within 15 minutes:
• The tire is too badly damaged. Do not at-
tempt to drive the vehicle further. Call for
assistance.NOTE:
If the tire becomes overinflated, push the
Deflation Button to reduce the tire pressure
to the recommended inflation pressure be-
fore continuing.
If the tire inflates to the recommended pressure
or is at least 26 psi (1.8 Bar) pressure within
15 minutes:
1. Push the Power Button (4) to turn off the
Tire Service Kit.
2. Remove the Speed Limit sticker from the
top of the Sealant Bottle (1) and place the
sticker on the instrument panel.
3. Immediately disconnect the Sealant Hose
(6) from the valve stem, reinstall the cap
on the fitting at the end of the hose, and
place the Tire Service Kit in the vehicle
storage location. Quickly proceed to (D)
“Drive Vehicle.”
CAUTION!
• The metal end fitting from Power Plug
(8) may get hot after use, so it should be
handled carefully.

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 inter-
vals and, where provided, at fixed time inter-
vals, as described in the Scheduled Servicing
plan. To keep the car’s efficiency in tip-top
condition, in the following Scheduled Service
plan pages a few additional checks are listed
that should be carried out more frequently
with respect to the normal coupon redemp-
tion schedule. Scheduled Servicing is offered
by all authorized dealerships according to
fixed time or mileage intervals. If, during
each operation, in addition to the ones
scheduled, the need arises for further re-
placements or repairs, these may be carried
out with the owner's explicit agreement only.
The technicians at your dealership know your
vehicle best, and have access to factory
trained information, genuine Mopar parts,
and specially designed electronic and me-
chanical tools that can help prevent future
costly repairs. If your car is used frequently
for towing, the interval between one sched-uled servicing operation and the next should
be reduced. More frequent maintenance may
be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions, such as dusty areas and very
short trip driving.
NOTE:
Scheduled Servicing interventions are set out
by the Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the warranty. It is
advised to inform an authorized dealership of
any small operating irregularities without
waiting for the next service.
Scheduled Servicing — Gasoline Engine
The oil change indicator system will remind
you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
engine oil replacement.
An “Oil Change Required” will be displayed
in the instrument cluster and a single chime
will sound, indicating that an oil change is
necessary.
The oil change indicator message will illumi-
nate approximately 7,000 miles
(11,200 km) after the most recent oil change
was performed. Have your vehicle serviced assoon as possible, within 500 miles (800 km)
(except for 2.0L gasoline engine with GPF –
Gasoline Particulate Filter).
NOTE:
• The oil change indicator message will not
monitor the time since the last oil change.
Change your vehicle’s oil if it has been
12 months since your last oil change even
if the oil change indicator message is NOT
illuminated.
• Change your engine oil more often if you
drive your vehicle off-road for an extended
period of time (refer to the “Heavy Duty
Use” section).
• Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles (12,000 km)
or 12 months, whichever comes first (ex-
cept for 2.0L gasoline engine with GPF –
Gasoline Particulate Filter).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change.

The manufacturer recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed at your
selling dealer. The technicians at your deal-
ership know your vehicle best, and have ac-
cess to factory trained information, genuine
Mopar parts, and specially designed elec-
tronic and mechanical tools that can help
prevent future costly repairs.
NOTE:
•The actual interval for changing engine oil
and replacing the engine oil filter depends on
the vehicle usage conditions, and is signaled
by the warning light or message in the instru-
ment cluster. In any case, it must never ex-
ceed two years. If the vehicle is used mainly
for city driving, change the engine oil and
filter every year.
•Flush and replace the engine coolant at
120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km)
whichever comes first.
•The timing and accessory belts must be
changed every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) or
3 years for particularly demanding use (dusty
areas, severe weather conditions, very low orvery high temperatures for extended periods,
city driving, long periods of idling). Under no
circumstances should these intervals be
exceeded.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
• Check engine oil level.
• Check windshield washer fluid level.
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs

Checking Oil Level
WARNING!
• Never smoke while working in the engine
compartment: gas and inflammable va-
pors may be present, with the risk of fire.
• Be very careful when working in the
engine compartment when the engine is
hot: you may get burned. Do not get too
close to the radiator cooling fan: the
electric fan may start; danger of injury.
Scarves, ties and other loose clothing
might be pulled by moving parts.
CAUTION!
• Be careful not to confuse the various
types of fluids while topping up: they are
not compatible with each other! Topping
up with an unsuitable fluid could se-
verely damage your car.
• The oil level must never exceed the MAX
mark.
• Always top up using engine oil of the
same specifications as that already in
the engine.
CAUTION!
• If the engine oil is being topped up, wait
for the engine to cool down before loos-
ening the filler cap, particularly for ve-
hicles with aluminium cap (if equipped).
WARNING: risk of burns!
• Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase
will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine.
To assure proper engine lubrication, the en-
gine oil must be maintained at the correct
level. Check the oil level at regular intervals,
such as every fuel stop. The best time to
check the engine oil level is about five min-
utes after a fully warmed up engine is shut
off.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level
ground will improve the accuracy of the oil
level readings.
There are three possible dipstick types,
• Crosshatched zone.
• Crosshatched zone marked SAFE.• Crosshatched zone marked with MIN at the
low end of the range and MAX at the high
end of the range.
NOTE:
Always maintain the oil level within the cross-
hatch markings on the dipstick.
Adding 1 quart (1.0 liters) of oil when the
reading is at the low end of the dipstick range
will raise the oil level to the high end of the
range marking.
Cooling System
WARNING!
• You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear
steam coming from under the hood, do
not open the hood until the radiator has
had time to cool. Never open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or
coolant bottle is hot.
• Keep hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts auto-
231

WARNING!
matically and may start at any time,
whether the engine is running or not.
• When working near the radiator cooling
fan, turn the ignition to the OFF mode.
The fan is temperature controlled and
can start at any time the ignition is in the
ON mode.
Engine Coolant Checks
Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protec-
tion every 12 months (before the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable). If the
engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty, the sys-
tem should be drained, flushed, and refilled
with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) by an authorized dealer. Check
the front of the A/C condenser for any accu-
mulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean
by gently spraying water from a garden hose
vertically down the face of the condenser.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for
brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, and
tightness of the connection at the coolant
recovery bottle and radiator. Inspect the en-tire system for leaks. DO NOT REMOVE THE
COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE
COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
Adding Washer Fluid
The windshield and rear window washers
share the same fluid reservoir. The fluid res-
ervoir is located in the front of the engine
compartment. Be sure to check the fluid level
in the reservoir at regular intervals. Fill the
reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not
radiator antifreeze) and operate the system
for a few seconds to flush out the residual
water.
When refilling the washer fluid reservoir, take
some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or
towel and wipe clean the wiper blades, this
will help blade performance.
To prevent freeze-up of your windshield
washer system in cold weather, select a solu-
tion or mixture that meets or exceeds the
temperature range of your climate. This rat-
ing information can be found on most washer
fluid containers.
WARNING!
Commercially available windshield washer
solvents are flammable. They could ignite
and burn you. Care must be exercised
when filling or working around the washer
solution.
CAUTION!
Do not travel with the windshield washer
fluid reservoir empty: the windshield
washer is essential for improving visibility.
Repeated operation of the system without
fluid could damage or cause rapid deterio-
ration of some system components.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance,
all brake system components should be in-
spected periodically. Refer to the “Mainte-
nance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
232

CAUTION!
Proper operation of four-wheel drive ve-
hicles depends on tires of equal size, type
and circumference on each wheel. Any
difference in tire size can cause damage to
the power transfer unit. Tire rotation
schedule should be followed to balance
tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If the vehicle should remain stationary for
more than a month, observe the following
precautions:
• Park your vehicle in a covered, dry and
possibly airy location the windows open
slightly.• Check that the Electric Park Brake is not
engaged.
• Disconnect the negative (-) terminal from
the battery post and be sure that the battery
is fully charged. During storage check bat-
tery charge quarterly.
• If you do not disconnect the battery from
the electrical system, check the battery
charge every 30 days.
• Clean and protect the painted parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Clean and protect polished metal parts by
applying protective waxes.
• Apply talcum powder to the front and rear
wiper blades and leave raised from the
glass.
• Cover the vehicle with an appropriate cover
taking care not to damage the painted sur-
face by dragging across dirty surfaces. Do
not use plastic sheeting which will not allow
the evaporation of moisture present on the
surface of the vehicle.
• Inflate the tires at a pressure of +7.25 psi
(+0.5 bar) higher than recommended on
the tire placard and check it periodically.• Do not drain the engine cooling system.
• Whenever you leave the vehicle stationary
for two weeks or more, idle the engine for
approximately five minutes, with the air
conditioning system on and high fan speed.
This will ensure proper lubrication of the
system, thus minimizing the possibility of
damage to the compressor when the vehicle
is put back into operation.
NOTE:
When the vehicle has not been started or
driven for at least 30 days, an Extended Park
Start Procedure is required to start the ve-
hicle.
Refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting
And Operating” for further information.
CAUTION!
Before removal of the positive and nega-
tive terminals to the battery, wait at least a
minute with ignition switch in the OFF
position and close the driver’s door. When
reconnecting the positive and negative ter-
minals to the battery be sure the ignition
switch is in the OFF position and the
driver’s door is closed.
