EEP, KEEP IT REAL, KEEP IT GENUINE!
There are three ways to keep your eep
100% eep.
Genuine eep Service:
Jeep technicians and service advisors are factory trained and know
your Jeep inside and out, and help to ensure that your vehicle is
running at peak performance.
Genuine eep Parts:
Insist on Jeep genuine parts as these are designed to keep your
vehicle running smoother for longer.
Genuine eep Accessories:
Personalise your vehicle with genuine Jeep accessories which have
been designed with your needs and your vehicle in mind. That
translates into a real difference in fit, engineering, materials, testing
and safety. It's all to pass the ultimate test - how they look, perform
and last on your vehicle.

INTRODUCTION
A. Vehicle operators should ensure that they are fully aware of
the contents of the vehicle handbook and have familiarised
themselves with the vehicle before driving.
B. The routine maintenance schedule in this handbook
supersedes that laid out in the operating information/owners
manual.
C. All material contained in this publication is based on the
latest information available at the time of publication
approval. Chrysler reserves the right without notice to
publish revisions at any time.
After you have read this manual, it should be stored in the vehicle for
convenient reference and remain with the vehicle when sold.
ETHANOL IN PETROL
Chrysler recommends that your vehicle be operated on fuel containing no more than 10% ethanol. Use of fuel
with an ethanol content higher than 10% may result in engine malfunction, starting and operating difficulties
and materials degradation. These adverse effects could result in permanent damage to your vehicle.
Purchasing your fuel from a reputable supplier may reduce the risk of exceeding this 10% limit and/or of
receiving fuel with abnormal properties. It should also be noted that an increase in fuel consumption can be
expected when using ethanol blended fuels, due to the lower energy content of ethanol.
