MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES

For information on the maintenance procedures for your vehicle, please refer to "Mainte-
nance Procedures" in "Maintaining Your Vehicle" in your Owner' s Manual or an applicable
supplement at www.fiatusa.com/en/owners/manuals for further information.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

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
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster. This means that service is required for your vehicle. Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips, trailer tow and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the "Change Oil" or "Oil Change Required" message is
displayed. Severe Operating Conditions can cause the change oil message to illuminate as
early as 3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
