freely with you under normal conditions. But in a colli- sion, the belt will lock and reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
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 the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
W ARNING! • A belt 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 front and second r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck. Push in on the anchorage release button to r elease the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
Automatic Locking Mode T o convert from the normal emer gency locking mode to the automatic locking mode, grasp the shoulder belt portion and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor .
Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will continue to chime and flash the Seat Belt W arning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use seat belts throughout their pr egnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible.
Driver And Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)—Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly . Here ar e some simple steps you can follow to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appr opriate child restraint.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.

a rear -facing infant seat. Relatively light objects like brief cases and grocery bags will also turn on the P AD Indicator Light. The P AD Indicator Light will be off when teenagers, most children and most childr en in forward-facing seats ar e in the front passenger 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.
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 Occupant Classification Module (OCM) is lo- cated beneath the front passenger seat. The OCM classifies the occupant into categories based on the measurements made by the seat weight sensors. The OCM communicates with the Occupant Restraint Con- troller (ORC).
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly , replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Classification System serviced as well.
Enhanced Accident Response System If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically . In addition, approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle has stopped moving, the interior lights will light until the ignition switch is turned off.
Infants and Small Children There ar e different sizes and types of r estraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult seat belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they need a belt-positioning booster seat.
Standards. The manufactur er recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be appr opriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits.
LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s second row seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint.
were pr ovided with the child restraint system. The rear seat lower anchorages are r ound bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seat back, and ar e just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate fr om the buckle, turn the latch plate around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a different seating position or use the locking clip provided with your child r estraint.
Second Row Seat THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 59 2.
Child Restraints in Third Row Seating (If Equipped) The third seating r ow is not capable of installing child restraints that r equire the use of a tether strap. There ar e no tether anchor provisions for the thir d seating row in your vehicle, the hooks in the rear floor ar e not designed to withstand the forces that may occur during a crash.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
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.
• It may be necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for mor e than a short period. If so, adjust your climate control system to for ce outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed and the controls in any position except OFF or RECIRC.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle: T ires Examine tires for tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness and tires for pr oper pressure.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating. Automatic T ransmission Start the engine with the selector lever in NEUTRAL or P ARK position.
Normal Starting Normal Starting of either a warm or cold engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. T urn the key to the ST AR T position and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the starting pr ocedure.
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled on fuel injected engines and will decrease as the engine warms up.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 volt electrical cord could cause electrocution. AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION Automatic T ransmission The electronic PRNDL on the instrument cluster indicates the transmission gear selected.
W ARNING! Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P (Park). Check by trying to move the gearshift lever back and forth without first pulling the lever toward you, after you have set it in P (Park). Make sure it is in Park before leaving the vehicle.

Shifting Procedure - NV 244 Generation II T ransfer Case NOTE: The 4x4 system will not allow shifts between A WD/ 4LOCK if the rear wheels ar e spinning (no traction). In this situation a position indicator light will flash and the original position indicator light will remain ON.
3. While still rolling, rotate the transfer case contr ol switch to the desired position. 4. After the position indicator light has stopped flashing, shift the transmission back into gear . Alternate Procedure 1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop. 2.
P ARKING BRAKE The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o release the parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle. Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the gear-shift lever is in P ARK position.
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or vehicle may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave an automatic transmission in Park. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to provide r egulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation, which is normal. The Anti-Lock Brake system includes an amber (ABS) warning light. When the light is illuminated, the Anti- Lock Brake system is not functioning.
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.
ROCKING THE VEHICLE If vehicle becomes stuck in snow , sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Move the gear selector rhythmically between FIRST and REVERSE, while applying slight pressur e to the accelerator .
• 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 9 P 9 is absent from this tir e size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T(Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is 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: Some vehicles have a “T ire and Loading Infor- mation” placard located on 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.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 229 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tire 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.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e underinflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped.
T ire 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 tir e inflation pressure is very important.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
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! The limited use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 60 mph (100 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly .
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in 2 or more adjacent gr ooves, the tire should be replaced. Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point.
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 suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing 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 r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es of Durango trucks. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on Durangos with P245/70R17 tires.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS All engines (except 5.7L engines) are de- signed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality un- leaded “regular” gasoline having an oc- tane rating of 87. The routine use of pr e- mium gasoline is not recommended.
and durability for your vehicle. W e recommend the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC specifications if they are available. Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equire the use of cleaner burning gasoline referr ed to as “Reformulated Gasoline.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasolines blended with MMT provide no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT . Gasolines blended with MMT reduce spark plug life and reduce emission system performance.
CAUTION! If the Check Engine or Service Engine Soon light is flashing, immediate service is required; see onboard diagnostics system section. Materials Added T o Fuel All gasolines sold in the United States are r equired to contain effective deter gent additives.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle or on a truck bed. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door .
W ARNING! • Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury . • The volatility of some gasolines may cause a buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may increase while you drive.
• When pulling a heavy load or driving a fully loaded vehicle when the humidity is low and the temperature is high, use a premium unleaded fuel to help pr event spark knock. If spark knock persists, lighten the load, or engine piston damage may result.
the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. • Keep the liftgate closed when driving your vehicle to prevent carbon monoxide and other poisonous ex- haust gases from entering the vehicle.
vehicle should be stopped, the engine shut off and the vehicle allowed to cool. Service, including a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications should be obtained imme- diately . T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
Rating (GA WR) front and r ear , and V ehicle Identification Number (VIN). A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is included on this label and shows the Month, Day , and Hour of manufacture. The bar code that appears on the bottom of the label is your V ehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Inflation Pressure (Cold) This is the cold tire inflation pr essure for your vehicle for all loading conditions up to full GA WR. Curb Weight 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.
W ARNING! Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING T o maintain warranty coverage, follow the requir ements and recommendations in this manual concerning ve- hicles used for trailer towing.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle.
• T railer brakes are r ecommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and requir ed for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs. (907 kg). • Use an approved trailer harness and connector . If a hitch is order ed, the proper wiring will be provided. • When hauling cargo or towing a trailer , do not over- load your vehicle or trailer .
T railer sway control and equalizing hitch ar e required for tongue weights above 350 lbs. (159 kg). Also, there ar e maximum tongue weight ratings that are not to be exceeded, as follows: • Class I.
• T otal weight must be distributed between the tow vehicle and the trailer such that the following four (4) ratings are not exceeded: 1. GVWR 2. GTW 3. T ongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight.

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHER The flasher switch is on the top of the steering column, just behind the steering wheel. Press the flasher switch and all front and r ear directional signals will flash intermittently . Press the switch a second time to turn of f the emergency flashers.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is in a vehicle or on a truck bed. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas contain- ers on the ground while filling. W ARNING! Remove the gas cap slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury .
CHANGING A FLA T TIRE Jack Location In the Durango, the scissor jack and tire changing tools are stowed under the second r ow seat. The jack is secured in place with a winged stud and a fixed stud. It is very important to secure the jack tightly in place by engaging the slot in the base to the fixed stud under the middle seat.
W ARNING! The jack is designed as a tool for changing tires only . The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes, unless suitable supports are placed under the vehicle as a safety measure. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm level surface only .
Remove the spare tir e before attempting to jack the truck. 1. Remove the rubber plug from the floor in the cargo area. 2. Engage the jack wrench extension to the spar e tire winch through the hole in the floor . 3. T urn the wrench counter clockwise to lower the spare tire.
Tire Changing Procedure 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. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
• Block both the front and r ear of the wheel diagonally oppo- site the jacking position. For example, if the right front wheel is being changed, block the left rear wheel. • Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack drive tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the extension tube. Place the jack under the axle as close to the tire as posssible with the drive tubes extending to the rear . Connect the jack tube extension and wheel wrench.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle unstable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 6. Remove the wheel nuts and pull the wheel off.
W ARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: • Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle. • Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
JUMP ST ARTING W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth- ing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other . If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the con- taminated area immediately with large quantities of water .
4. Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery . Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery . W ARNING! Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
W ARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: 1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent; 2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion; 3. Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle.

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.
the key is turned off. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. b. The MIL light will r emain fully illuminated until the first engine crank or the key is turned off. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. 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.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. 2. T urn Off the engine and allow appr oximately 5 min- utes for the oil to settle to the bottom of the crankcase. 3. Remove the engine oil level indicator (dipstick). 4. W ipe the engine oil level indicator (dipstick) clean.
Frequency Of Oil Change Road conditions and your style of driving affect the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following to determine if ANY apply to you: • Day or night temperatures ar e below 32°F (0°C). • Stop and Go driving.

due to a faulty spark plug. Check the V ehicle Emissions Control Information label for the pr oper type of spark plug for your vehicle. CAUTION! When replacing plugs, do not overtighten. Y ou could damage them and cause them to leak. Ignition Cables Replace the ignition cables (5.
Engine Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause stalling, limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven or cause hard starting. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent filter r eplacement may be necessary . Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only .
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands after handling the battery . T o determine the battery charge, check the battery test indicator (if equipped) on top of the battery . Refer to the illustration.
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 Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
Front Suspension Ball Joints The ball joints and seals should be inspected whenever the vehicle is serviced for other reasons. Damaged seals should be replaced to pr event leakage or contamination of the grease. Drive Shaft Constant V elocity Joints All four wheel drive models are equipped with four constant velocity joints.
Windshield Wiper Blades The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner . This will remove accu- mulations of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.

bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty , clean the radiator core by gently spraying water from a gar den hose at the back of the core. Check the coolant bottle tubing for condition and tight- ness of connection at coolant bottle and radiator . Inspect the entire system for leaks.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush And Refill If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, it should be cleaned and flushed. See your authorized dealer for proper draining, flushing and refilling of your vehicle’s cooling system.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified (non- HOA T), may result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty , and decreased corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
W ARNING! Never add coolant to the radiator when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove pressure cap to cool overheated engine. The coolant is under pres- sure and severe scalding could result.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the pr essure cap except checking coolant freeze point or r eplacement with new antifreeze coolant. Y our service attendant should be advised of this. When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle.
swelling suggest deterioration of the rubber . Particular attention should be given to examining hose surfaces nearest to high heat sour ces, such as the exhaust mani- fold. Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secur e and no leaks are present.
Brake System Power Disc Brakes (Front) Disc brakes do not requir e adjustment; however , several hard stops during the br eak-in period are recommended to seat the linings and wear off any for eign material.
W ARNING! Use of brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified, as to specifications may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident. W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching on fire.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any sign of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
5. Remove the dipstick and feel if the fluid is hot or warm. Hot fluid is approximately 180°F (82°C), the normal operating temperature after the vehicle has been driven at least 15 miles (24 km). The fluid cannot be comfortably held between the finger tips.
4. Place the gear selector momentarily in each gear position ending with the lever in P (Park). 5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until seated.

T ransfer Case Inspect the transfer case for fluid leaks. If a fluid leak is evident the transfer case fluid level may be low . Have the transfer case serviced immediately . CAUTION! Damage may result from operation of the vehicle with low transfer case fluid.
Front Axle Front Axle fluid level should be at the bottom of the filler hole plug. Selection of Lubricating Grease The National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI) has developed a symbol (Certification Mark) to aid the vehicle owner in the proper selection of gr ease for chassis components.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish. CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials ar e well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar t touch up paint on scratches as soon as possible.
Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with any commercial household-type glass cleaner . Never use an abrasive type cleaner . Use caution when cleaning inside rear windows equipped with electric defrosters or windshields equipped with a windshield wiper de-icer .
POWER DISTRIBUTION CENTER (FUSE/RELA Y) Y our vehicle is equipped with two electrical power distribution centers located next to each other in the left side of the engine compartment. Thess power distribution centers house new plug-in “Maxi” fuses which replace all the in-line fusible links previously used.
CAUTION! When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a properly rated fuse continues to blow , it suggests a problem in the circuit that must be corrected.
