SERVICING AND MAINTENAN
CESCHEDULED SERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for guaranteeing a
long life for the car under the best condi-
tions. For this reason, Jeep has planned a
series of checks and services at fixed
distance intervals and, where provided, at
fixed time intervals, 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 redemption schedule.
Scheduled Servicing is offered by all autho -
rized dealerships according to fixed time or
mileage intervals. If, during each operation,
in addition to the ones scheduled, the need
arises for further replacements 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
mechanical tools that can help prevent
future costly repairs. If your car is used
frequently for towing, the interval between
one scheduled servicing operation and the next should be reduced. More frequent main
-
tenance 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 autho -
rized dealership of any small operating irreg -
ularities 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” message 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 as soon as possible, within
500 miles (800 km). 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 of Vehicle” section).
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 7,500 miles
(12,000 km) or 12 months, whichever
comes first.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change.

(*) 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.(**) DOT 4 brake fluid interval is time based
only, mileage intervals do not apply.
(***) 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.
(°) Consumption of additive AdBlue (UREA)
depends on the condition of use of the
vehicle and is indicated by LED and/or
message on the instrument panel.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at 10 years or
150,000 miles (240,000 km) whichever comes first.
