OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, front airbags for both the driver and front passenger , and side curtain airbags for the driver and passengers seated next to a window .
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times to reduce or prevent injuries. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle have combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 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.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you ar e shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average, you will prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up and down to make sure that it is locked in position.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will alert the driver or front passenger to buckle their seat belt.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least thr ee times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while re-buckling the seat belt.
How to Disengage The Automatic Locking Mode Disconnect the combination lap/shoulder belt from the buckle and allow it to r etract completely to disengage the automatic locking mode and activate the vehicle sensitive (emergency) locking mode.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the str ong bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front and side curtain airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
classified in a category other than that of an adult (refer to information on Occupant Classification System in this section). This could be a child, teenager , or even a small size adult. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag.
4. Do not lean against the door or window , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided under “If Y ou Need Assistance” in Section 9 of this manual.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Ai.
The ORC also monitors the r eadiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON position. These include all of the items listed above except the Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light, the instrument panel, and the steering wheel and column.
NOTE: Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a r ear seat in an appropriate child restraint. • The Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light (an amber light located in the center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front passenger when the front passenger airbag is turned of f.
is turned off and it will not inflate. If the “P AD Indicator Light” is not illuminated, DO NOT assume the airbag is turned off and move the child restraint to the rear seat. A deploying passenger airbag can cause death or serious injury to a child in a rear facing infant seat.
will cause the system to turn the airbag on. In this case, the OCS has classified the occupant of the seat as an adult. An adult occupant needs to sit in a normal position (with their feet on or near the floor) in order to be properly classified. Reclining the seat back too far may change how an occupant is classified by the OCS.
lodged under the seat and interferes with operation of the weight sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the “P AD 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 Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbags are de- signed to activate only in certain side collisions and rollover events. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle or both sides of the vehicle for a rollover event.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly or its related com- ponents may inadvertently change the airbag deploy- ment 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 accident.
• As the airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water .
• T urns on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the battery has power or until the ignition key is removed. • Unlocks the doors automatically . NOTE: The interior lights can only be deactivated if the key is removed from the ignition switch or the vehicle is driven.
NOTE: Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply , See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/per chlorate Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbag system ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. The airbag system is designed to be maintenance free.
In conjunction with other data gathered during a com- plete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by DaimlerChrysler Corporation and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and improve vehicle perfor- mance.
Data Parameters that May Be Recorded: • Diagnostic tr ouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically controlled safety systems, including the airbag system • Airbag disable light status.
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 can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
“LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren)” in this section. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with the front passenger airbag unless the airbag is turned off. An airbag deployment could cause sever e injury or death to infants in this position.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufacturers offer add-on tether strap kits or retrofit kits. Y ou are urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child re- straint in any vehicle.
The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seat back, and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some rear -facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
belt. However , any seat belt system may loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally , and pull it tight if necessary . If the seat belt has an automatic locking r etractor , pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: Route the tether strap over the seat back and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the headrest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not requir ed 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.
W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil change. Replace as requir ed. W ARNING! • Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.
For vehicles equipped with T ip Start, turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically in 10 seconds.
W ithout T ip Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold W eather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , wait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather .
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into “P” (Park) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of “R” (Reverse) only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
1. Firmly set the parking brake. 2. Using a flat blade screwdriver , carefully remove the shift lock manual override cover , which is located on the PRNDL bezel. 3. Depress and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal. 4. Using the screwdriver , reach into the manual override opening.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This system prevents you from moving the gear shift out of “P” (Park) and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. Always depr ess the brake pedal first, befor e moving the gear selector out of “P” (Park).
“P” (Park) This gear position supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use “P” (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range.
“N” (Neutral) Shift into “N” (Neutral) when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range.
NOTE: • If the vehicle is started in extremely cold temperatures, the transmission may not shift into Overdrive. It will however , automatically select the most desirable gear for operation at this temperature. Normal operation will resume when the transmission fluid temperature has risen to a suitable level.
The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated. Pressing the switch a second time restor es normal operation. If the “TOW/HAUL” mode is desir ed, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started.
A Reset feature allows the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service without damaging the transmission. T o reset the transmission, perform the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the “P” (Park) position. 3.
6-Speed Manual T ransmission W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should al- ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
W ARNING! When parking your vehicle, always leave a manual transmission in first gear and apply the parking brake fully to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between a forward gear and reverse, do not spin wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result. Recommended Manual T ransmission Shifting Speeds The manufacturer recommends that you use the shift speeds listed in the chart below .
CAUTION! Failure to follow the recommended downshifting speeds may cause the engine to over speed and/or damage the clutch disc even if the clutch pedal is depressed.
CAUTION! • Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front wheels or rear wheels are spinning. The MP1522 Command-T rac t transfer case is not equipped with a synchronizer and therefore the speed of the front driveshaft and rear drive- shaft must be equal for the shift to take place.

conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-r oad conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover .
caution and maintain a steady controlled speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water to minimize wave effects. Flowing W ater If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-of f) avoid cr ossing until the water level recedes and/or the flow rate is reduced.
Hill Climbing NOTE: Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the conditions at the crest and/or on the other side. Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a lower gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD Low . Use first gear and 4WD Low for very steep hills.
T raction Downhill Shift the transmission into a low gear and the transfer case to 4WD Low range. Let the vehicle go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning against engine compression drag. This will permit you to control the vehicle speed and direction.
W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent an accident. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary .
Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked, and the gear selector lever is in the “P” (Park) position (automatic transmission) or “R” (Reverse) or 1st gear (manual transmission).
W ARNING! • Always apply the parking brake fully when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave an automatic transmission in “P” (Park) or a manual transmis- sion in “R” (Reverse) or 1st gear .
W ARNING! Significant over or under inflation of tires or mixing sizes of tires or wheels on the vehicle can lead to loss of braking effectiveness. The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low-speed self- test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring, you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
• Do not “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the pedal. This could overheat the brakes and result in unpredictable braking action, longer stopping dis- tances, or brake damage. • When descending mountains or hills, r epeated brak- ing can cause brake fade with loss of braking contr ol.
NOTE: Increased noise levels at the end of the steering wheel travel are considered normal and do not indicate that there is a problem with the power steering system. Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short amount of time.
T wo additional electronic brake control system options are HDC (Hill Descent Contr ol) and TSC (T railer Sway Control). Y our vehicle may be equipped with one or both of these options. ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle contr ol under adverse braking conditions.
TCS (T raction Control System) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
W ARNING! BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions, and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur . ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
W ARNING! • TSC (T railer Sway Control) cannot stop all trailers from swaying. Always use caution when towing a trailer and follow the tongue weight recommenda- tions. Refer to ”V ehicle Loading” and “T railer T owing” in this section for more information be- fore towing a trailer with your vehicle.
• For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, the HSA will work in r everse gear and all forward gears. The system will not activate if the transmission is in “P” (Park). • For vehicles equipped with a manual transmission, the HSA will work in reverse gear , neutral, and all forward gears.
W ARNING! • If you use a trailer brake controller with your trailer , the trailer brakes may be activated and deactivated with the brake switch. If so, there may not be enough brake pressure to hold both the vehicle and the trailer on a hill when the brake pedal is released.
3. Apply the parking brake. 4. Start the engine. 5. Release the clutch pedal (manual transmission). 6. Rotate the steering wheel 1 ⁄ 2 turn to the left. 7. Press the “ESP OFF” button located in the lower switch bank below the climate control four times within twenty seconds.
HDC control speed. Conversely , if more speed is desired during HDC control, the accelerator pedal will increase vehicle speed in the usual manner . When either the brake or the accelerator is released, HDC will control the vehicle at the original set speed.
Press the “Hill Descent” button. The “Hill Descent Control Indicator” light in the instru- ment cluster will turn on solid. NOTE: If the transfer case is not in 4WD low range, the “Hill Descent Control Indicator” light will flash for 5 seconds and HDC will not be enabled.
accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. W ARNING! ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions.
Partial Of f — 2WD V ehicles & 4WD V ehicles in 2WD & 4WD High Range The “Partial Off” mode is intended for driving in deep snow , sand, or gravel. This mode raises the threshold for TCS and ESP activation, which allows for more wheel spin than what ESP normally allows.

TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall pr eceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ( ....blank.... ( = Passenger car tire based on European 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 Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire 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 loadi.
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.
336 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tir e r eplacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
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 some- one. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
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 combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, result- ing in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Use only compact chains, or other traction aids that meet SAE type “Class S” specifications.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED • The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressur e. • The tire pressur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.
once the system receives the updated tire pressur es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. − For example, your vehicle may have a recom- mended cold (parked for mor e than 3 hours) placar d pressur e of 33 psi (227 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly (if equipped) has a tire pressure monitoring sensor . The matching full size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tires. The TPMS will only monitor the pressure in the full size spar e when it is used in place of a road tire.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. 4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE: V ehicles with Full Size Spare 1. The matching full size spar e wheel and tire assembly has a tire pressur e monitoring sensor that can be moni- tored by the TPMS.

will sound when tire pr essure is low in one or more of the four active road tires. In addition, the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display a graphic show- ing the pressure values of each tire with the low tir e pressur e values flashing.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will no longer flash, and the 9 CHECK TPM SYS- TEM 9 message will no longer display , and a pr essure value will display in place of the dashes.
upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the TPM T elltale Light will turn ON. In addition, the EVIC will display a Low Pressure message and a graphic showing the low tire pressure value flashing.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire, and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare, the TPMS will update automatically .
high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you experi- ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline before considering service for the vehicle.
Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are not the responsibility of the manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made fr om Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Metha- nol. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law . Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance, and damage the emission control system. • An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). • A poorly fitting gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to turn on.
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened properly . The Malfunction Indicator Light in the in- strument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not secured properly . Make sure that the gas cap is tight- ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle including driver , passengers, vehicle, options, trailer tongue weight, and cargo. The label also specifies maxi- mum capacities of front and rear axle systems (GA WR).
Curb W eight The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING In this section, you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer , carefully review this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings in- clude a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance for the pr esence of a driver).
W eight-Carrying Hitch A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds of hitches are the most popular on the market today and they’re commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers.

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be consider ed as part of the total load on your vehicle.
• When hauling cargo, or towing a trailer , do not overload your vehicle or trailer . Overloading can cause a loss of control, poor performance, or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspen- sion, chassis structur e, or tires. • Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer .
− Proper tire inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires–General Information” in this section for infor - mation on tir e pressures and for proper tire inflation procedur es. − Also, check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pressur es before trailer usage.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes, and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping, and backing the trailer in an area located away from heavy traffic. If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage.
− Use speed contr ol in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency . T owing T ips — Cooling System T o r educe potential for engine and transmission over- heating, take the following actions: − City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase engine idle speed.
CAUTION! • The Automatic T ransmission must be in “P” (Park) position for recreational towing. The Manual T ransmission (if equipped) must be in gear (for example, 4th gear) for recreational towing. Failure to follow these procedures can cause severe trans- mission and/or transfer case damage.
3. T urn the ignition switch to the ON position. 4. Depress the brake pedal. 5. Shift the transmission to “N” (Neutral) (automatic transmission), or depress the clutch pedal (manual trans- mission). 6. Use the point of a ballpoint pen or similar object to depress the recessed transfer case Neutral (N) button for 4 seconds.
• The ignition switch must be in the ON position for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the ignition switch is not in the ON position, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Spare Tire Stowage The spare tir e is stowed underneath the rear of the vehicle and is held in place by a cable winch mechanism. Spare Tire Removal Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut.
CAUTION! The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only . Use of an air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and they can damage the winch. When the spare is clear , tilt the retainer at the end of the cable, and pull it through the center of the wheel.
Jacking Instructions 1. Remove spare tire. 2. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground. 3. Remove jack and tools from mounting bracket. As- semble the tools by connecting the driver to the exten- sion, and then to the lug wrench.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack scr ew to the right. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.

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 contr ol systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap in loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display in the instrument clus- ter . T ighten the gas cap until a “clicking” sound is heard.
2. T urn the ignition to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine. 3. If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test over . 4. As soon as you turn your key to the ON position, you will see your MIL symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.
REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine Mopar t parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to in- sure the designed performance. Damage or failures caused by the use of non-Mopar t parts for maintenance and repairs will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty .
These items should be inspected if a malfunction is observed or suspected. Engine Oil Checking Oil Level T o assure proper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level.
Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for information on this system.
Lubricants, which do not have both, the engine oil certification mark and the corr ect SAE viscosity grade number should not be used. Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils pr ovided the r ecom- mended oil quality requir ements are met, and the recom- mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ension Belt tension is contr olled by means of an automatic tensioner . Therefore, no belt tension adjustments are requir ed. However , belt and belt tensioner condition should be inspected periodically and r eplaced if re- quired.
W ARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc) unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance.
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 catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. • Do not idle the engine with any ignition coil connec- tors disconnected for prolonged periods.
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 .
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an Authorized Dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluor ocar- bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type. NOTE: Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short period of time.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer fluid when using the wipers to r emove salt or dirt from a dry windshield. A void using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the windshield.
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly 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 LOCK position. The fan is tempera- ture controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
properly , the coolant will begin to drain from the coolant recovery bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT . Cooling System — Drain, Flush, and Refill The system should be drained, flushed, and r efilled at the intervals shown in the “Maintenance Schedule” in Sec- tion 8 of this manual.
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 replacement. T o prevent r educing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. 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.
service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month. When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill.
• Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean, also. • Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation. If r eplacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the correct type thermostat.
Brake System In order to assure brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Suggested service intervals can be found in the “Mainte- nance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
• Inspect the brake hoses whenever the brake system is serviced and at every engine oil change. Inspect hy- draulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuf fing, or worn spots.
W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. • Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling .
Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Y our vehicle is equipped with a capped dipstick tube that is sealed and it should not be tampered with. Y our authorized dealer has the pr oper tools to ensur e that the fluid level is set properly .
Manual T ransmission — If Equipped Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a point not more than 3/16” (4.76 mm) below the bottom of the hole. Add fluid, if necessary , to maintain the proper level.
Adding Fluid Fluid should be added only at filler hole until fluid begins to run out of the hole. Draining Fluid First remove fill plug (2), then drain plug (3). Recom- mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is 15–25 ft.lbs. (20–34 N·m).
NOTE: Be sure to follow the “police, taxi, fleet, of f-road, or frequent trailer towing” maintenance interval if appli- cable. Front/Rear Axle Fluid Fluid Level Check The lubricant level should be at bottom edge of the oil fill hole. Adding Fluid Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above.
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 corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
CAUTION! • Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. • Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.
Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned r egularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. T o remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use Mopar t Wheel Cleaner (05066247AB) or equivalent or select a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner .
use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean leather upholstery . Ap- plication of a leather conditioner is not required to maintain the original condition. W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
T o minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. T o remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol- lowed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly . SKY SLIDER T TOP CARE Immediate r emoval of any contaminant is r ecommended. Regular washing of the top will enhance its life and appearance, and make successive cleaning easier .
• Allow the top to dry before opening. V acuuming the top with a wet/dry shop vacuum will decrease the top’s drying time, ensure removal of all dirt, and delete streaks in the material. • Multiple cleanings may be necessary to remove stub- born stains.
CAUTION! A void getting Scotchguard t on the surrounding weather strips, moldings, paint, or glass. Damage to these items might occur . Weather Strip Care Lubricate the weather strips periodically with Mopar W eather Strip Lubricant (part number 4773427), to keep them soft and pliable.
