Disconnecting your vehicle battery will
erase radio presets and may affect other
vehicle settings. It may also trigger vari-
ous fault codes, causing MIL illumination
when the battery is reconnected.
NOTE:
• Steps 1 through 4 are requirements that
must be met before pushing the NEUTRAL
(N) button, and must continue to be met
until the shift has been completed. If any of
these requirements are not met before
pushing the NEUTRAL (N) button or are no
longer met during the shift, then the NEU-
TRAL (N) indicator light will flash continu-
ously until all requirements are met or until
the NEUTRAL (N) button is released.
• The ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode
for a shift to take place and for the position
indicator lights to be operable. If the igni-
tion is not in the ON/RUN mode, the shift
will not take place and no position indicator
lights will be on or flashing.

SCHEDULED SERVICING
Scheduled Servicing — Non SRT
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 futurecostly 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.
The oil change indicator system will remind
you that it is time to take your vehicle in for
scheduled maintenance.
In the instrument cluster an “Oil Change
Required” message will be displayed 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 vehicles 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.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If this scheduled
oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer the message can

be reset by referring to the steps described
under ”Instrument Cluster Display” in “Get-
ting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
At Each Stop for Fuel
• Check the engine oil level about 5 minutes
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.
Once a Month
• Check tire pressure and look for unusual
wear or damage. Rotate tires at the first
sign of irregular wear.
• Inspect the battery and clean and tighten
the terminals as required.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir, and brake master cylinder; add fluid as
needed.
• Check all lights and other electrical items
for correct operation.At Each Oil Change
• 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.
• 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.
Maintenance Plan — Gasoline Engine
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.

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 scheduled
servicing.
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.
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil
change indicator message after completing
the scheduled oil change. If a scheduled oil
change is performed by someone other than
your authorized dealer, the message can bereset by referring to the steps described un-
der “Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.
Engine Oil Filter Replacement
Residual oil in the housing may spill from the
housing when the new filter is installed if the
residual oil is not either removed from the
housing or enough time has not elapsed to
allow the oil to drain back into the engine.
When servicing the oil filter on this engine,
carefully remove the filter and use a suction
gun to remove any residual oil left in the
housing or wait about 30 minutes for the oil
to drain back into the engine.
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 ac-
cess to factory trained information, genuine
Mopar parts, and specially designed elec-
