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.

MMT In Gasoline
Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricar-
bonyl (MMT) is a manganese containing me-
tallic additive that is blended into some gaso-
line to increase octane. Gasoline blended
with MMT provides no performance advan-
tage beyond gasoline of the same octane
number without MMT. Gasoline blended with
MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces
emission system performance in some ve-
hicles. The manufacturer recommends that
gasoline without MMT be used in your ve-
hicle. The MMT content of gasoline may not
be indicated on the gasoline pump; there-
fore, you should ask your gasoline retailer
whether or not his/her gasoline contains
MMT.
Materials Added To Fuel
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning
agents should be avoided. Many of these
materials intended for gum and varnish re-
moval may contain active solvents or similar
ingredients. These can harm fuel system gas-
ket and diaphragm materials.

your vehicle. Before proceeding with the sup-
ply, check the symbols placed inside the fuel
filler flap (if present) and compare them with
the symbol on the fuel pump (if present).

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.

FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
Engine
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.
Component Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Engine Coolant We recommend you use PARAFLUUPFormula OAT (Organic Additive
Technology) or equivalent meeting the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS.90032
Engine Oil – (2.0L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you SELENIA DIGITEK, or equivalent, SAE 0W-30 ACEA

Engine oil approved to MS-13340 may be used when SAE 0W-30 engine
oil is not available.
Engine Oil – (2.4L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you use API Certified 0W-20 Engine Oil, meeting the
requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-CR1 or MS-6395. Refer
to your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade.
Engine Oil – (3.2L Gasoline Engine) We recommend you use API Certified 5W-20 Engine Oil, meeting the
requirements of FCA Material Standard 9.55535-CR1 or MS-6395. Refer
to your engine oil filler cap for correct SAE grade.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to MS-6395 may be used when SAE
