Jeep Compass - Scheduled Servicing

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
314
SCHEDULEDSERVICING
Correct servicing is crucial for
guaranteeing a long life for the car under
the best conditions. For this reason, Jeep
has planned a series of checks and
services at fixed distance intervals and,
where provided, at fixed time intervals,
as described on the Service Schedule.
Before each scheduled service deadline,
it is always necessary to carefully follow
the instructions in the Service Schedule
(e.g. periodically check level of fluids,
tyre pressure, etc.).
The Scheduled Servicing is carried
out by the Jeep Dealership at pre-set
times. If, during each operation, in
addition to the ones scheduled, the
need arises for further replacements or
repairs, these may be carried out with
the owner's explicit agreement only. If
your car is used frequently for towing,
the interval between one scheduled
servicing operation and the next should
be reduced.
WARNING The scheduled service
deadlines are set out by the
Manufacturer. Failure to have them
carried out may invalidate the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. It is advisable
to inform a Jeep Dealership of any small
operating irregularities without waiting
for the next scheduled service deadline.
PERIODIC CHECKS
Every 1,000 km or before long journeys,
check and, if necessary, top up:
engine coolant level (for Diesel and
petrol versions);
the coolant levels of the two systems
of the car (heat engine cooling and high-
voltage components cooling) (for Plug-in
Hybrid version);
brake fluid level;
low AdBlue
®
diesel emissions additive
(UREA) level (where provided);
windscreen washer fluid level;
tyre inflation pressure and condition;
operation of lighting system
(headlights, direction indicators, hazard
warning lights, etc.);
operation of windscreen washer/wiper
system and positioning/wear of screen
wiper/rear window wiper blades.
Oil consumption of the engine depends
on conditions and driving style. For this
reason, the engine oil level must be
checked every 3000 km and topped
up, if necessary (see the "Engine
compartment - Checking the levels"
chapter and the "Refuelling "chapter in
the "Technical Specifications" section for
information on the quantity to be topped
up).
