Jeep Cherokee (KL): Maintenance procedures

The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle.

Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed "Maintenance Schedule", there are other components which may require servicing or replacement in the future.

CAUTION!

  • Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or perform repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle performance.

    Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an authorized dealer or qualified repair center.

  • Your vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals.

    Do not use chemical flushes in these components as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission or air conditioning. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

    If a flush is needed because of component malfunction, use only the specified fluid for the flushing procedure.
