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 feature 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, open the trunk, or activate the panic alarm fr om 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.
T o unlock the doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash twice to acknowl- edge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system also turns on.
The panic alarm will stay on for 3 minutes unless you turn it off by pr essing the P ANIC button a second time or if the vehicle speed is 15 mph (24 km/h) or greater . NOTE: • The interior lights will turn off when the ignition is switched to the ACC or ON position after the panic alarm is activated.
T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement battery is one CR2032 battery . NOTE: Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit boar d. 1. W ith the transmitter buttons facing down, remove the small screw , and separate the two halves of the transmit- ter .
T o arm the system: Remove the key from the ignition switch and either: 1. Press a power door lock switch while the driver’s or passenger’s door is open. 2. Press the LOCK button on the keyless entry transmit- ter . After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
The V ehicle Theft Alarm system is designed to pr otect your vehicle, however , you can create conditions wher e the system will give you a false alarm. If one of the previously described arming sequences has occurr ed, the system will arm regar dless of whether you are in the vehicle or not.
The window lock switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors. When the lock switch is pressed the window contr ols on the passenger doors will not illuminate and the passen- ger windows will be disabled.
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 ith the ignition ON, the trunk open symbol will be displayed in the instrument cluster indicating that the trunk is open. The odometer display will r eappear once the trunk is closed. W ith the key in lock position or key out, the trunk open symbol will be displayed until the trunk is closed.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push and fully depr ess the button above the webbing to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
Enhanced Seat Belt 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.
NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt r emains unbuckled. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy .
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
This vehicle may also be equipped with left and right side curtain airbags to protect the driver and passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with side curtain airbags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . Side Cur- tain Airbags also work with seat belts to improve occu- pant protection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions.
2. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it properly . 3. All occupants should use their seat belts properly . 4. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate.
Air Bag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Airbags above.
• The ORC also monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON positions. These include all of the items listed above except the knee bolster , the instru- ment panel, and the steering wheel and column.
requiring air bags. When the right fr ont passenger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger air bag will not inflate even though the P AD indicator lamp is not illuminated.
Front Passenger Seat Occupant Passenger Air- bag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light Airbag Status Adult OFF ON Grocery Bags, Heavy Briefcases and Other Rela- tively Light Ob- jects ON OFF Empty or V ery Small Objects OFF* OFF * Since the system senses weight, some small objects will turn the P AD Indicator Light on.
If there is a fault pr esent 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 .
• Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM. • The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbag are de- signed to activate only in certain side collisions.
• Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar .
• 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 .
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
the electronic data may be used by DaimlerChrysler and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and impr ove vehicle performance.
• Seatbelt status • Brake status (service and parking brakes) • Accelerator status (including vehicle speed) • Engine control status (including engine speed) • Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, babies and children, too.
one year old and weigh at least 9 kg (20 lbs). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats. • The infant carrier is only used rearwar d-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for childr en who weigh up to about 20 lbs (9 kg).
• The restraint must be appr opriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instr uctions that come with the restraint. If you install the r estraint improperly , it may not work when you need it.
• 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.
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. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system.
NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en. It is recommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position. T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint.
Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts. 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).
W ARNING! If you are required to drive with the trunk open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil or other fluid leaks.

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.
• The electronically contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electr onics are 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.
manner may cause the ABS or traction system malfunc- tion indicator light to come on. T urn off the engine and restart the engine to clear the malfunction indication.
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 .
Anti-Lock Brake System The Anti-Lock Brake System provides incr eased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to pr event wheel lock-up.
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. However , the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on.
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.

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.
216 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 pressur e.
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 • T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Lamp NOTE: For vehicles with optional wheel.
NOTE: • The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pr essure condition. • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.
Modules mounted in three of the four wheel wells, various T ire Pressur e Monitoring System Display Mes- sages in the EVIC, and T elltale Lamp. NOTE: For vehicles with optional wheel/tire sizes and si.
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
The tire pr essure sensors are cover ed under one of the following licenses: United States ..................... KR5S120123 Canada ....................
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.

Damage to the front and rear fascias can occur if you disregard the low ground clearance in the front and rear of this vehicle. Pay close attention when parking to avoid running into parking curbs.
Over 40 automobile manufacturers ar ound the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) to define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
• 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.

• Do not operate the electric air pump for more than eight minutes to avoid overheating. The air pump may be used again once it has cooled down. • Replace the TIREFIT sealant bottle (5) once every four years to assure optimum operation of the system.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic trans- mission cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
4. Connect one end of the jumper cable to the remote jump start positive battery post (A) in the engine com- partment. Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery . Refer to the following illustration for jump starting connections.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is danger- ous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet mud, loose sand, etc.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
CAUTION! • Do not attempt to tow this vehicle from the front with sling type towing equipment. Damage to the front fascia will result. • The only approved method of towing is with a flat bed truck. • Do not tow the vehicle from the rear . Damage to the rear sheet metal, and fascia will occur .

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
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.
Engine Oil Checking Oil Level T o assure pr oper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop.
CAUTION! Operating the engine with the oil levels below the safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the top of the safe zone may cause engine damage. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed.
Engine Oil V iscosity Chart The proper SAE viscosity grade of engine oil should be selected based on the following recommendation and be within the operating temperature shown in the engine oil viscosity chart.
inspected at the specified intervals, and replaced if r e- quired. See your authorized dealer for service. At the mileage indicated in the maintenance schedule, all belts and tensioner should be checked for condition. Improper belt tension can cause belt slippage and failur e.
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, filter replacement may be necessary . See your local dealer for service.
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.
Maintenance-Free Battery The top of the MAINTENANCE-FREE battery is perma- nently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed. NOTE: The battery is stored under an access cover in the rear compartment. Remote battery terminals ar e located in the engine compartment for jump starting.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.

Windshield W ashers/Headlight W ashers The windshield washer system and the headlamp washer system share the same fluid r eservoir . The reservoir is located in the engine compartment and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush and Refill At the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedules, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled. If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vapor- ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot coolant to enter the radiator . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
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. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
NOTE: Inspection of brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced and at every engine oil change. Inspect hydraulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing, 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 .
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the manufacturer will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
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.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. Special Care • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage at least once a month.
Interior Care Use Mopar Fabric Cleaner or equivalent to clean fabric upholstery and Mopar Carpet Cleaner for carpeting. Interior T rim should be cleaned starting with a damp cloth, or Mopar Satin Select. Do not use harsh cleaners or Armorall. Use Mopar T otal Clean to clean vinyl uphol- stery .
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 or microfiber towel.
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.
