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.
On vehicles equipped with instrument cluster
display, “Oil Change Required” will be dis-
played and a single chime will sound, indi-
cating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the in-
strument cluster odometer 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 as
soon as possible, within 500 miles (800 km)
(except for 2.0L gasoline engine with GPF -
Gasoline Particulate Filter). However, an ear-
lier oil change at 4,500 miles (7,500 km)
may be required if the vehicle is operated
under “Severe Duty Conditions” later in this
section.
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.
• 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).
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
208

Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change.
Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip
• Check the engine oil level about five min-
utes after a fully warmed engine is shut off.
Checking the oil level while the vehicle is
on level ground will improve the accuracy of
the oil level reading. Add oil only when the
level is at or below the ADD or MIN mark.
• Check the windshield washer solvent and
add if required.
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear, even if it occurs
before the oil indicator system turns on.• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten
the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder and power steering
and fill as needed.
• Check all lights and other electrical items
for correct operation.
At Each Oil Change
• Change the engine oil filter.
• Inspect the brake hoses and lines.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required mainte-
nance items may result in damage to the
vehicle.Required Maintenance Intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Plan on the follow-
ing pages for the required maintenance inter-
vals.
Maintenance Plan
NOTE:
Once you have carried out the last interven-
tion in the table, continue with the scheduled
servicing, maintaining the frequency indi-
cated in the plan by marking each operation
with a dot or dedicated note. Simply restart-
ing the maintenance from the start of the
plan may cause the allowed interval to be
exceeded for some operations.
209

**** The spark plug change interval is mile-
age based only, yearly intervals do not apply.
***** This maintenance is recommended by
the manufacturer to the owner, but is not
required to maintain emissions warranty.
WARNING!
• You can be badly injured working on or
around a motor vehicle. Do only service
work for which you have the knowledge
and the right equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a
service job, take your vehicle to a com-
petent mechanic.
• Failure to properly inspect and maintain
your vehicle could result in a component
malfunction and effect vehicle handling
and performance. This could cause an
accident.
Severe Duty Conditions
Change the engine oil and engine oil filter at
every 4500 miles (7,500 km) or 6 months if
using your vehicle under any of the following
severe duty conditions:• Stop and go driving.
• Driving in dusty conditions.
• Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km).
• Trailer towing.
• Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial
service).
• Off-road or desert operation.
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.
On vehicles equipped with instrument cluster
display, “Oil Change Required” will be dis-
played and a single chime will sound, indi-
cating that an oil change is necessary.
On non-instrument cluster display equipped
vehicles, “Change Oil” will flash in the instru-
ment cluster odometer and a single chime
will sound, indicating that an oil change is
necessary.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).
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.
213

•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 or
very 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
before the oil indicator system turns on.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir and brake master cylinder, fill as
needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
• Control and recovery of additive level for
AdBlue Diesel emissions (UREA) (if
equipped).Demanding Vehicle Use
• Restore additive level for AdBlue Diesel
emissions (UREA) (if equipped), when the
lamp is illuminated or the message on the
instrument panel.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required mainte-
nance items may result in damage to the
vehicle.

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 transfer case. Tire rotation schedule
should be followed to balance tire wear.
STORING THE VEHICLE
If you are storing your vehicle for more than
21 days, we recommend that you take the
following steps to minimize the drain on your
vehicle's battery:
• Disconnect the negative cable from battery.
• Any time you store your vehicle or keep it
out of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeksor more, run the air conditioning system at
idle for about five minutes in the fresh air
and high blower setting. This will ensure
adequate system lubrication to minimize
the possibility of compressor damage when
the system is started again.
BODYWORK
Body And Underbody Maintenance
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic head-
lights and fog lights that are lighter and less
susceptible to stone breakage than glass
headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wip-
ing with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash
with a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other aggressive mate-
rial to clean the lenses.
Preserving The Bodywork
Washing
• Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash
your vehicle in the shade using a mild car
wash soap, and rinse the panels completely
with clear water.
• If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have
accumulated on your vehicle, use a specific
detergent to remove.
• Use a high quality cleaner wax to remove
road film, stains and to protect your paint
finish. Take care never to scratch the paint.
• Avoid using abrasive compounds and power
buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin
out the paint finish.
CAUTION!
• Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning
materials such as steel wool or scouring
powder that will scratch metal and
painted surfaces.
