EXHAUST SYSTEM
The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions
control device and may seriously reduce engine performance and cause serious damage to the engine.
Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction,
particularly involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, contact a Jeep authorized dealer immediately. Continued operation
of your vehicle with a severe malfunction could cause the converter to overheat, resulting in possible damage to the converter and vehicle.
Using a transmission fluid different from that approved may compromise gearshifting quality and/or cause vibration of the transmission itself.
ENGINE OIL
An excessive or insufficient amount of oil inside the valley is extremely damaging to the engine. Make sure it is always at an adequate level.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
Always require the use of only approved compressor refrigerants and lubricants that are also suitable for the specific air conditioning system
fitted on the vehicle. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants
can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
The air conditioning system contains refrigerant under high pressure. To avoid risk of personal injury or damage to the system, adding
refrigerant or any repair requiring lines to be disconnected should be carried out by a Jeep authorized dealer.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings.
TIRE TYPES
Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with a compact or limited use spare tire
installed. Damage to the vehicle may result.
