Non-Scheduled Maintenance
Your vehicle will need a number of non-scheduled services
and maintenance replacements. Need for these is deter­
mined by road, load, weather, terrain and other variable op­
erating conditions.
Non-Scheduled maintenance services include such items as
cleaning of the fuel system, removal of engine carbon depos­
its, and retightening of loose parts and connections.
Non-scheduled maintenance replacements include manual
clutch components, brake linings, shock absorbers, light
bulbs, wiper blades, belts, hoses, soft trim, bright metal trim,
painted parts, other appearance items plus other rubber and
rubber-like parts. Need for these non-scheduled mainte­
nance services and replacements is usually indicated by the
performance, handling, or appearance of your·vehicle or par­
ticular component. While you may choose to do some of
these on your own, your Jeep dealer offers reliable diagnosis
and repairs at resonable prices. He is ready at all times to
serve you on these, as he is for your scheduled maintenance.
