Scheduled Servicing - Jeep CHEROKEE 2019 User Manual

SCHEDULED SERVICING

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.
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. 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
(805 km).
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 be
reset by referring to the steps described un-
der "Instrument Cluster Display" in "Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel" in your Own-
er's Manual for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
twelve months or 350 hours of engine run
time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours
of engine run or idle time is generally only a
concern for fleet customers.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine

Duty.
At Every Fuel Stop:
• Check engine oil level.
• Check windshield washer fluid level.
• 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.
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser-
voir and brake master cylinder, fill as
needed.
• Check function of all interior and exterior
lights.
