A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer .
Refer to Personal Settings in the electronic vehicle infor - mation center (EVIC) Section of this manual for details. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever .
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regar dless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked. During normal operation, the Theft Alarm/ Immobilizer Light will come on for three (3) seconds immediately after the ignition switch is turned on for a bulb check.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is pr ovided with a four digit PIN number . This number is requir ed for dealer replacement of keys. Duplication of keys may be performed at an authorized dealer or by using the Customer Key Programming pr ocedure.
General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15 and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interfer ence that may cause undes- ired operation.
W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle. • When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle.
Automatic Door Locks The doors will lock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if all of the following conditions are met: 1. The Auto Lock featur e is enabled. 2. The transmission is in gear . 3. All doors are closed. 4. The throttle is pressed.
Child Protection Door Lock T o provide a safer envir onment for small children riding in the rear seats, the r ear doors are equipped with a child protection door lock system. W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in the vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors, or activate the panic alarm from distances up to about 23 feet (7 meters) using a hand held radio transmitter . The transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “T urn Headlamps on with Remote Key Unlock” under “Personal Settings” in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) section of this manual for details. NOTE: The system can also be programmed to unlock all doors on the first press of the UNLOCK button.
• This device must accept any interference r eceived, including interference that may cause undesir ed op- eration. 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 .
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition switch for unauthorized entry or operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals.
• The system remains armed during liftgate entry . If someone enters the vehicle through the liftgate and opens any door the alarm will sound. • When the system is armed, the doors can not be unlocked from the interior power door lock switches.
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.
T o close the window part way , lift the window switch to the first detent and release when you want the window to stop. The power window switches remain active for 10 min- utes after the ignition switch has been turned off. The time is customer programmable thr ough the electronic vehicle information center (EVIC).
W ind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
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.
activated. T o reset this featur e you must let all of the belt webbing return into the r etractor . Y ou will not be able to pull out more webbing until all of the webbing has been returned back into the r etractor .
Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belts in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt system by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant in a collision.
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 three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while r e-buckling the seat belt.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
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.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instr u- ment panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger . Left and right side curtain airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the fr ont passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. See the section on “Child Restraint”. 2. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it properly .

detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the light either momentarily or continuously . W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG light in your instrument panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor . They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly . However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately .
Side Airbag System The airbag control module determines if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the airbag to inflate. The control module receives the level of collision severity fr om the side impact sensors. The airbag control module will not detect rollover or r ear impacts.
Occupant Classification System • The Occupant Classification System (OCS) is part of a Federally regulated safety system r equired for this vehicle. It is designed to turn off the fr ont passenger airbag in the unlikely event that a rear -facing infant seat is in the front passenger seat.
NOTE: Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appr opriate child restraint. Front Passenger Seat Occupant Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light Airbag .
If the is a fault present in the OCS, the Airbag W arning Light (a red light located in the center of the instr ument cluster directly in fr ont of the driver) will be turned on. This indicates that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer .
The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger . The driver’s front airbag gas is vented through vent holes in the sides of the airbag.
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 RESUL T IN DEA TH OR SERIOUS INJUR Y TO THE FRONT SEA T P ASSENGER IF THE VE- HICLE IS INVOL VED IN AN ACCIDENT .
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an airbag deployment, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to 2-seconds of specific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recor der prior to the moment of airbag deployment. Please note that such data are ONL Y recor ded if an airbag deploys, and are otherwise unavailable.
Data Parameters that May Be Recorded: • Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning lamp status for electronically-contr olled safety systems, including the airbag system • Airbag disable lamp status (.
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 safety belt. Always check the child seat Owner’s Manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who ar e large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seat back, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
rear -seating positions or if your child restraints are not LA TCH-compatible, install the restraints using the vehi- cle’s seat belts. 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.
Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
installed. Refer to the Automatic Locking Mode section for details. A locking clip should not be necessary once the automatic locking feature is enabled.
2. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas 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. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Airbag Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

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. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING 5 Speed Automatic T ransmission W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running.
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 +” dir ection.
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.
self-calibrating. Therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pr e- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles. W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.
Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of your instru- ment cluster when using Autostick. This message ap- pears in order to alert the driver to upshift to the next gear . The UPSHIFT message will display while operating the vehicle at higher engine revolutions–per–minute (RPM).
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied.
The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! • Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dan- gerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever .
The electronic brake for ce distribution (EBD) prevents the rear wheels fr om over-braking and provides gr eater control of available braking for ces applied to the rear axle. W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is requir ed.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interfer- ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolong operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and should be avoided when possible.
• 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 loadi.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
214 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).
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. 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).
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressure.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
The T ire Pressur e Monitoring System consists of the following components: • Receiver Module • 4 Wheel Sensors • Amber Colored T ire Pr essure Monitoring Indicator Lamp NOTE: For vehicles with .
NOTE: • The TPM system can inform the driver of a low tire pressur e condition. • The TPM system is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to pr ovide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPM system should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.
Modules mounted in three of the four wheel wells, various T ire Pressur e Monitoring System Display Mes- sages in the EVIC, and an amber colored Indicator Lamp.
CAUTION! The TPM system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sen- sor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
TIRE CHAINS If driving conditions requir e tire chains for your vehicle, chains that meet SAE class “S” requir ements can be used, but they must be installed on 245/45ZR20 size tires. Contact your local dealership or tire dealer for these tir e sizes.
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.
Tire Rotation — All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” shown in the following diagram. Tire Rotation — General Information T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions.
These effects can be r educed by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation ar e especially worthwhile with aggressive tr ead designs such as those on all season type tires. Rotation will incr ease tread life, help to maintain mud, snow , and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equire the use of cleaner burning gasoline referr ed to as “Reformulated Gasoline”. Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
content of gasoline may not be indicated on the pump, you should ask your gasoline retailer whether or not his/her gasoline contains MMT . It is even more important to look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States.
• The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers are not r ecommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives are not the responsibility of the manufactur er .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. Push in on the left side (near the edge) of the fuel filler door to access the fuel filler cap. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
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.
Front Axle Rear Axle Empty W eight 2054 lbs (932 kg) 1805 lbs (819 kg ) Load (Including driver , pass- sengers and cargo) 271 lbs (123 kg) 579 lbs (263 kg) T otal 2325 lbs (1055 kg) 2384 lbs (1081 kg).
Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The gross trailer weight (GTW) is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the trailer in its ⬙ loaded and ready for operation ⬙ condition.

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.
T owing Requirements T o promote pr oper break-in of your new vehicle driv- etrain components the following guidelines are r ecom- mended: CAUTION! • A void towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage your vehicle.
• V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in P for Park. Always, block or ⬙ chock ⬙ the trailer wheels. • GCWR must not be exceeded.
− An electronically actuated trailer brake contr oller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electr onic brake controller is not r equired.
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 away fr om heavy traffic.
NOTE: Using the “3” range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor - mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces- sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better engine braking.
T owing T ips — Cooling System T o reduce 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. − Highway Driving Reduce speed.

Disposing of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can pr esent a problem to the environment.
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.
NOTE: The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should not be disconnected and should only be replaced with a battery of the same type (vented). 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.
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 Mopar 威 Lock Cylinder Lubri- cant or equivalent directly into the lock cylinder .
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease 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.
Cooling System Pressure Cap The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of coolant, and to insure that coolant will r eturn to the radiator from the coolant r ecovery bottle. The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
Hoses And V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard or soft spots, brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exces- sive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber .
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. 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.
Use only manufacturer’s 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.
Front And Rear Wheel Bearings Front and r ear wheel bearings are permanently sealed. No regular maintenance is r equired for these compo- nents. 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.
• Use Mopar touch up paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible. Y our dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Interior Care Use Mopar Fabric Cleaner or equivalent to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses The lenses in front of the instr uments in this vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic. 1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION! • When installing the Power Distribution Center cover , it is important to ensure the cover is prop- erly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so may allow water to get into the Power Distribu- tion Center , and possibly result in a electrical system failure.
