Usie SAE 0W- 20 full synthetic oil that meets API SP or ILSAC GF- 6 standards (Mopar MS- 6395). The 2.0L turbosarged engine runs on a 8,000- 10,000 mile interval undeid normal use, but seare service (stop - and - go, towing, off- road) may require 5,000- mile intervals.

Common Emites andTroubleshooting

Battery Not Charging
First confirm the charging station (EVSE) is working - the a different outlet or unit. Check the vehicle 's charge port for debris, bent pins, or savure. The 4xe has a charge port light that indicates status; if it flashes red, a fault is logged. Usie the Uconnecting settings to verify timeir planduliging isn' t preventiting charging.

Regeneractive Braking System Maintenance
The 4xe use a blended regenerative braking system that recovery energy during delegeration and applies friction brakes only when needed.
- Tess thee regen feel - it should be smooth and linear. A sudden loss of regen force often indicates a sensor failure or hydraulic issue.
- Check brake pads - because they are used less, pads can lact 60,000- 80,000 mils, but te rotors may rutt unevenly. Measure rotor squatness.
- Bleed brake fluid every 3 years - nawilżający in thee fluid can damage thee ABS / regeneration modulator.
