The size of your vehicle and the conditions under which you'll be driving will determine which tires are best suited for your needs. See your Service Advisor for expert advice
WARNING SIGNS TO WATCH FOR
HOW TO READ A TYRE ID CARD
All tires have a DOT Tire Identification Number (TIN) on the sidewall. The last four digits represent the week and year the tire was made. NHTSA recommends checking this date when purchasing tires, along with knowing the vehicle manufacturer's recommended tire replacement timeframe. Look on both sides of the tire. The TIN may not be on both sides.
DID YOU KNOW
Check your owners manual or the Tire and Loading Information label located on the driver side door edge or post to find the correct size for your vehicle.
Why check on Oil & Oil filter?
• Reduces friction,
• Limits wear on moving parts in your engine (rods, pistons, etc.),
• Allows proper engine cooling,
• Keeps the engine clean,
• Helps to keep a watertight seal between the cylinder bore and the piston,
• Protects against corrosion,
• Ensures engine start-up in all temperatures.
New generation synthetic oils also allow you to:
• Reduce your CO2 emissions by reducing your fuel consumption.
• Optimise the operation of your engine's filtration systems like the catalytic converter and the particulate filter.
Oil filter:
• Keeps the oil as clean as possible,
• Traps all dust, combustion residue and abrasive particles generated by the normal wear of engine parts,
• Helps to keep the oil cool.
Regarding engine oil
• Turn off the engine, wait 5 minutes and, minding the heat, check the oil inside the engine.
• Do not add oil with features that are different from those already in the engine
• See a Jeep® Retailer for replacement and the correct disposal methods

JEEP® EXPERTS ARE THE KEY
YOUR MOT
MOT checks your vehicle’s essential components, such as brakes, seatbelts, fuel system and exhaust, to ensure it runs smoothly and safely.
Book your MOT 1 month before the due date.
Pre-MOT check by Brand
Proactivity
During the Jeep® pre-MOT check, an extra attention is paid on items that could cause a follow-up inspection. If a work is necessary to ensure a valid MOT, a quote is submitted, free of charge, for you to decide.
Protect your battery
• Make sure the surface of the battery is always clean and dry. With regular use, and if you follow the maintenance guidelines, your battery could last up to four or five years.
• An annual check on the battery and the charging system by your Jeep® expert will help to avoid any malfunctions.
At the beginning of winter especially, have your Jeep® specialist check the battery with a tester. You can also choose to replace the battery as a preventive measure and avoid the inconvenience of a breakdown.
WHY DOES THE BATTERY WEAR OUT?
DISCHARGED BATTERY
Using things that consume electricity while the engine is off (headlights, radio, air conditioning, etc.) will lead to deep discharge.
FAULTY ALTERNATOR
An alternator that doesn't produce enough energy won't charge the battery properly. Conversely, an alternator that produces too much energy will over-charge the battery and wear it out prematurely. Lastly, bad connections can lead to leakage current, which will accelerate the discharge of the battery.
EXTREME TEMPERATURES
Extreme temperatures will damage the battery's fuel cells, reducing the conductivity of the electrolyte (mixture of water and acid). The battery is then impaired and will deteriorate.
CHECK THE BLADES
Within 6 months, your wiper blades carry out 125 000 wipes in average, before they start to wear. Your blades also wear when they are at rest, as they're relentlessly exposed to heat, cold, dust and UV rays. Have your wiper blades checked every year and have them replaced regularly.
CARING
Window wiper blades that are well taken care of last longer. Regularly clean the rubber blade, by wiping with a clean cloth moistened with a special detergent on both sides, lengthwise. Ice damages rubber: remove it from the windscreen before operating the wipers. Always replace blades together: a difference in age makes them less effective over time.
FAULTY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
• Generation of cold air is irregular or too slow. Have an air conditioning assessment carried out by your Jeep® expert: it could be caused by a tiny gas leak. That could lead to the thermal cycle not working properly.
• The system is noisy: the compressor could be faulty. Have the belt checked.
• Poor distribution of cold air. Check the blower, it could be faulty.
Jeep® is here to help
In summer as in winter, you should turn on your air conditioning for at least ten minutes every 15 days as a minimum, in order to increase its life span.
FILTRATION
There are three categories of Jeep® filters* that offer different levels of protection against different types of pollutant: cabin particle filters, cabin carbon filters and cabin anti-allergen filters.
To persistently combat the growth of bacteria (which cause allergies), microbes and bad odours, you will benefit from having the cabin filter changed by your Jeep® expert as part of the maintenance of your air conditioning system, as this will cleanse the interior.
On average:
• Changing the cabin filter every 15,000 km or at least once a year.
• An assessment of the condition of your air conditioning system at least every two years.
• Changing the drier every four years (or between 60,000 and 80,000 km).
• Topping up the oil in the compressor before 100,000 km.
• Regularly cleaning the interior to constantly eliminate microbes and bad odours.

SIGNS OF WEAR
• Vehicle appears to ""float"" around long bends.
• Muffled clunks when going over a speed bump.
• Juddering wheels when accelerating, leading to a loss of grip.
• Oil leak detected on the body of the shock absorber.
• Irregular wear on the tyres.
RISKS OF WEAR
• Your vehicle will become more prone to aquaplaning (+15%).
• The lifespan of the tyres may decrease by up to 25%.
• There is the risk of parts around it deteriorating as well:
gimbal, suspension ball joints, engine mount, etc.
