NOTE: Pressing the LOCK button on the keyfob while you are inside the vehicle will activate the Security Alarm. Opening a door with the Security Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound.
• When you turn off the panic alarm by pr essing the P ANIC button a second time, you may have to be closer to the vehicle due to the radio frequency noises of the system. T o T urn Off “ Flash Lights On Lock/Unlock ” NOTE: The Flash Lights On Lock/Unlock feature can be turned on or off.
If your Remote Keyless Entry transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions. 1. A weak battery in the transmitter . The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios.
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM — IF EQUIPPED The V ehicle Theft Alarm system monitors the vehicle doors for unauthorized entry and the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
The V ehicle Theft Alarm system is designed to pr otect your vehicle, however , you can create conditions wher e the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurr ed, the system will arm regar dless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.
The window lock switch on the driver ’ s door allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors. When the lock switch is pressed, the window contr ols on the passenger doors will not illuminate and the passen- ger windows will be disabled.
Auto Up Feature with Anti – Pinch Protection — If Equipped Lift the window switch to the second detent, release, and the window will go up automatically . T o stop the window from going all the way up during the auto-up operation, push down on the switch briefly .
Reset Any time the vehicle battery is disconnected or goes dead the auto-up function will be disabled. T o reactivate the auto-up feature perform the following steps after vehicle power is restor ed: 1. Pull the window switch up to close window com- pletely and continue to hold the switch up for an additional two seconds after the window is closed.
The trunk lid can be r eleased from outside the vehicle by pressing the tr unk button on the Remote Keyless Entry T ransmitter two times. W ith the ignition ON, the trunk open symbol will display in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open.
T runk Emergency Release The trunk of your vehicle is equipped with an emer gency release handle. It is located on the inside of the tr unk lid, near the latch, and is coated so that it glows in a darkened trunk.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won ’ t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can ’ t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depr ess the button above the webbing to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
are single use items. After a collision that is severe enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both must be replaced. Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver ’ s or fron.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be reacti- vated by repeating this pr ocedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver ’ so r front passenger ’ s seat belt r emains unbuckled.
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver ’ s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
This vehicle may also be equipped with left and right side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . Side Cur- tain Airbags also work with seat belts to improve occu- pant protection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions.
2. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it properly . 3. All occupants should use their seat belts properly . 4. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate.
Air Bag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Airbags above.
• Also, the ORC turns on the airbag warning light and P AD indicator light in the instru- ment panel for 6 to 8 seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.
The P AD indicator light should not be illuminated when teenagers, most children in a forwar d-facing child restraint or booster seats, most childr en that can properly wear the vehicle ’ s seat belt, and when an adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passen- ger seat.
The OCS classifies an occupant using weight sensors mounted in the base of the front passenger seat. Any weight on the seat will be sensed by the system. Objects hanging on the seat or other passengers pushing down on the seat will also be sensed. The weight of an adult will cause the system to turn the airbag on.
Indicator Light and the Airbag W arning Light. Once the lodged object is removed, the fault will be automatically cleared after a short period of time. • The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel.
milliseconds (about one quarter of the time it takes to blink your eyes) with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated pr operly , or if items are positioned in the area wher e the side curtain airbag inflates. This especially applies to children.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have been deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags can ’ t protect you in another colli- sion. Have the airbags replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an.
treated confidentially . Confidential data will not be dis- closed by DaimlerChrysler to any third party except when: 1. Used for resear ch purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash recor d in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is ther eafter preserved 2.
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing dir ection are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year .
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems ar e now avail- able. However , because the lower anchorages are to be introduced over a period of years, child r estraint systems having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle ’ s seat belts.
The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seat back. The location of the lower anchorages are identified by a symbol on the seat back. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. If your vehicle is equipped with adjustable rear head restraints, raise the head r estraint and, where possible, route the tether strap under the head r estraint and between the two posts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Un- burned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “ P ” or “ N ” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
Overdrive and shifting operation will r esume when the temperature of the transmission r eaches the appropriate temperature. Refer to the “ Note ” under “ T orque Con- verter Clutch ” later in this section.
T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to impr ove fuel economy has been added to the automatic transmission of this vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly dif fer- ent feeling or response during normal operation in high gear .
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equip- ment to determine if the problem could r ecur . If the transmission cannot be reset, dealer service is requir ed.
Park Position The P ARK position is to be used when parking the vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped. The P ARK position is not intended to serve as a brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather , the driver should always use the parking brake in addition to placing the selector lever in P ARK to secure the vehicle.
Neutral No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are r eleased, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage in NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.
NOTE: T o avoid overrevving the engine when the selector lever is moved in “ D- ” direction, the transmis- sion will not shift to a lower gear if the engine ’ s revolu- tions per minute limit would be exceeded. Briefly press the selector lever in the “ D+ ” direction.
A reset feature is available to allow the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service. T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn off the engine. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds.
Automatic T ransmission — General Information CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
• If there is a need to r estart your engine be sure to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting. T rans- mission engagement may be delayed up to 10 seconds after restart if the key is not cycled to the LOCK position first. • The electronically contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule.
T o rock a vehicle out of soft gr ound (mud or snow), alternately shift from forwar d to reverse, while applying only slight acceleration. Rocking a vehicle free in this manner may cause the ABS or traction system malfunc- tion indicator light to come on.
Y ou can shift in or out of the autostick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you choose the Overdrive mode, the transmission will oper - ate automatically; shifting between the five available gears.
T o release the parking brake, pull out on the parking brake release located on the left side of the instr ument panel. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that r equired with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
MUL TI DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) - 5.7L Engine Only This feature of fers improved fuel economy by shutting off four of the engine ’ s eight cylinders during light load and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills requir ed.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED Tire Pressure Monitoring — Base System The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels (EXCLUDING THE SP ARE TIRE).
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster , and an au- dible chime will be activated when one or more tire pr essures is low . The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T ell- tale Light will flash on and off for 10 to 60 seconds when a system fault is detected.
LEFT FRONT , LEFT REAR, RIGHT FRONT , RIGHT REAR LOW PRESSURE One or more of these messages will be displayed in the EVIC if a low tire pr essure condition exists in one or more tires.
NOTE: • The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pr essure condition. • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.
• European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standar d have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter ⬙ P ⬙ is absent from this tir e size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T (Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressure is listed on either the face of the driver ’ s door or the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4. 6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle.
242 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Use only compact chains, or other traction aids that meet SAE type “ Class S ” specifications. Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle, as r ecommended by the chain manufacturer . NOTE: Do not use tire chains on a compact spar e tire.
NOTE: In order to avoid damage to tir es, chains, and your vehicle do not drive for a prolonged period of time on dry pavement. Observe the tire chain manufactur er ’ s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage.
Follow the recommended tir e rotation frequency for your type of driving found in the “ Maintenance Schedules ” Section of this manual. More fr equent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to r otation being per- formed.
Spark Knock Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as har d starting, stalling and hesitations.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasolines containing Methanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability problems and may damage critical fuel system com- ponents. Problems that r esult from using methanol/gasoline blends are not the r esponsibility of the manufacturer .
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle ’ s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed ar ea, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period.
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler cap door reinfor cement. CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap), and may result in a malfunction indicator light on the instrument clus- ter .
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “ clicking ” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not secured pr operly the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will turn on. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the charts that follow . This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. If the seatbacks are folded for carrying car go, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
Overloading The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires, wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and front and rear GA WR. The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle ’ s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engines T o assure pr oper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. CAUTION! Operating the engine with the oil levels below the safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the top of the safe zone may cause engine damage.
recommends engine oils that ar e API certified and meet the requir ements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-6395. Use Mopar 威 or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-6395. American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).

environment. Contact your dealer , service station, or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in your ar ea. Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced at every engine oil change.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “ A. ” If, however , you drive the vehicle frequently under dusty or sever e con- ditions, the filter element should be inspected periodi- cally and replaced if necessary at the intervals shown on Schedule “ B.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don ’ t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don ’ t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
Refer to the “ Maintenance Schedules ” section of this manual for the recommended air conditioning filter replacement intervals. Power Steering — Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed.
underhood services, the hood latch, r elease mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar 威 Lock Cylinder Lubricant or equivalent directly into the lock cylinder .
The fluid reservoir will hold 1 gallon (3.8L) of washer fluid when the message “ Low W asher Fluid ” appears in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) — if equipped. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush and Refill At the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedules, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled. If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles (160 000 km) before r eplacement. T o prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “ DO NOT OPEN HOT ” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
Pay particular attention to those hoses nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect hose routing to be sur e hoses do not come in contact with any heat source or moving component which may cause heat damage or mechanical wear . Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed.
NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings. Therefor e, oil wetness at the hose-coupling area is not necessarily an indication of leakage.
Use only manufacturers r ecommended brake fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not requir ed. For this reason the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.
All Wheel Drive (A WD) — If Equipped The all wheel drive system consists of a T ransfer Case, and Front Dif ferential. The exterior surface of these components should be inspected for evidence of fluid leaks. Confirmed leaks should be repair ed as soon as possible.
hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under - body protection. The following maintenance recommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corr osion resistance built into your vehicle.
Special Care • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage at least once a month. • It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors, rocker panels and tr unk be kept clear and open.
Mopar 威 T otal Clean is specifically recommended for leather upholstery . Y our leather upholstery can be best preserved by r egular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed pr omptly with a damp cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning use Mopar 威 T otal Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water .
