Heavy Duty Use Of Vehicle
Change the engine oil and engine oil filter at
every 4,500 miles (7,500 km) or 12 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 (commer -
cial 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.
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
frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures will influ -
ence when the “Oil Change Required”
message is displayed. Severe Operating
Conditions can cause the change oil
message to illuminate as earlier than speci -
fied. 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
operating properly and safely. 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
access to factory trained information,
genuine Mopar parts, and specially designed
electronic 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 instrument panel. In any case, it must
never exceed 12,500 miles (20,000 km) or
12 months.
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 or very high temperatures for
extended periods, city driving, long periods
of idling). Under no circumstances should
these intervals be exceeded.

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 compe-
tent 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.

INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
Use a specific product to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
CAUTION!
Avoid washing with rollers and/or brushes
in washing stations. Wash the vehicle only
by hand using neutral pH detergents; dry it
with a wet chamois leather. Abrasive
products and/or polishes should not be
used for cleaning the car. Bird droppings
must be washed off immediately and
thoroughly as the acid they contain is
particularly aggressive. Avoid (if at all
possible) parking the vehicle under trees;
remove vegetable resins immediately as,
when dried, it may only be possible to
remove them with abrasive products and/or
polishes, which is highly inadvisable as
they could alter the typical opaqueness of
the paint. Do not use pure windshield
washer fluid for cleaning the front
windshield and rear window; dilute it min.
50% with water. Only use pure windshield
washer fluid when strictly necessary due to
outside temperature conditions.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced
immediately. Do not disassemble or modify
the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
