Yellow Indicator Lights
— Active Speed Limiter Fault Indica-
tor Light — If Equipped
This warning light will illuminate to signal
when there is a fault detected with the Active
Speed Limiter.
— Forward Collision Warning Off Indi-
cator Light — If Equipped
This light indicates that Forward Collision
Warning is off.
— 4WD Low Indicator Light — If
Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle is
in the four-wheel drive LOW mode. The front
and rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear wheels to
rotate at the same speed. Low range provides
a greater gear reduction ratio to provide in-
creased torque at the wheels.Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation — If
Equipped” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information on four-wheel drive op-
eration and proper use.
— Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light
This light indicates when the rear axle lock
has been activated.
— Rear Fog Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator light will illuminate when the
rear fog lights are on.
— Glow Plug Light — If Equipped
This vehicle will inhibit engine cranking
when the ambient temperature is less than
–22° F (–30° C) and the oil temperature
sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. The Glow Plug
light will flash during in cold weather for up
to ten seconds.
If equipped with a block heater harness the
message "Plug In Engine Heater", will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when theambient temperature is below 5°F (-15° C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder
to avoid possible crank delays at the next cold
start.
— Low Diesel Exhaust Emissions Addi-
tive (UREA) Indicator Light — If Equipped
The Low Diesel Exhaust Emissions Additive
(UREA) indicator light illuminates when the
UREA level is low.
Fill the UREA tank as soon as possible with at
least 1.3 gallons (5 liters) of UREA.
If filling the tank is done with a remaining
range of UREA in the tank equal to zero, you
may need to wait 2 minutes before starting
the vehicle.
Refer to “Starting And Operating” for further
information.
— Water In Fuel Indicator Light — If
Equipped
The “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illu-
minate when there is water detected in the
fuel filter. If this light remains on, DO NOT

Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Observe the instrument panel cluster lights
when starting the engine.
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or press-
ing the accelerator pedal.
1. Always apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while
pushing the ENGINE START/STOP button
once.
NOTE:
A delay of the start of up to five seconds is
possible under very cold conditions. The
“Wait to Start” telltale will be illuminated
during the pre-heat process, When the
engine Wait To Start light goes off the
engine will automatically crank.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” re-
mains on, DO NOT START the engine be-
CAUTION!
fore the water is drained from the fuel
filters to avoid engine damage.
3. The system will automatically engage the
starter to crank the engine. If the vehicle
fails to start, the starter will disengage
automatically after 30 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of the
engine prior to the engine starting, push
the button again.
5. Check that the oil pressure warning light
has turned off.
6. Release the parking brake.
Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine
is cold. When starting a cold engine, bring the
engine up to operating speed slowly to allow
the oil pressure to stabilize as the engine
warms up.NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine
can result in excessive white smoke and poor
engine performance. No-load engine speeds
should be kept under 1,200 RPM during the
warm-up period, especially in cold ambient
temperature conditions.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) are desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws contrib-
utes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be detrimental
and should be avoided.

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.

Scheduled Servicing — Diesel Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for engine oil
replacement.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as fre-
quent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely hot or
cold ambient temperatures will influence
when the “Oil Change Required” message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can
cause the change oil message to illuminate
as earlier than specified. Have your vehicle
serviced as soon as possible, within the next
500 miles (805 km).
To help you have the best driving experience
possible, the manufacturer has identified the
specific vehicle maintenance service inter-
vals that are required to keep your vehicle
