INTRODUCTION Thank you for selecting a Jeep 威 Commander and wel- come to our worldwide family . This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for both on-road and off-road use. It can go places and perform tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive vehicles were not intended.
Roll Over W arning Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll over rate than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance, higher center of gravity , and narrower track than many passenger cars. It is capable of perform- ing better in a wide variety of off-road applications.
Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury . In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year , and could reduce disabling injuries by 2 million annually .
W ARNING! Engine exhaust, some of its constituents, and certain vehicle components contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICA TION NUMBER The vehicle identification number (VIN) is found on a label located on the left front corner of the instrument panel pad, visible fr om outside of the vehicle through the windshield. This number also appears on the Automobile Information Disclosure Label affixed to a window on your vehicle.
VEHICLE MODIFICA TIONS / AL TERA TIONS W ARNING! Any modifications or alterations to this vehicle could seriously affect its roadworthiness and safety and may lead to an accident resulting in serious injury or death.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your authorized dealer to give you the number . The key code can also be obtained by your authorized dealer from your vehicle invoice.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder If the driver’s door is opened when the key is in the ignition and not turned to the ON position, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key . CAUTION! Always remove the key from the ignition, and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.
If the SKIM indicator light comes on during normal vehicle operation (it has been running for longer than 10 seconds) a fault has been detected in the electronics and the vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible. NOTE: • The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not compatible with remote starting systems.
consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one which has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key System serviced, bring all vehicle keys to the dealer . Customer Key Programming Y ou can program new keys to the system if you have two valid keys by doing the following: 1.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation. ILLUMINA TED ENTR Y The interior lights come on when you open any door . They will remain on for about 30 seconds after all doors are closed then fade to off.
CAUTION! An unlocked vehicle is an invitation to thieves. Always remove the key from the ignition and lock all of the doors when leaving the vehicle unattended. Child Protection Locks The rear doors of your vehicle are equipped with child protection locks.
Power Door Locks A door lock switch is on each front door panel. Press this switch to lock or unlock the doors. If the plunger is down when the door is closed, the door will lock. Ther efore, make sur e the keys ar e not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
Automatic Unlock on Exit Feature — Only A vailable if Auto Lock is Enabled This feature will unlock all the doors when the driver’s door is opened if the vehicle is stopped and in P (Park) or N (Neutral).
NOTE: If desired, the system can be programmed to unlock all doors on the first press of the “Unlock” button. Refer to “Remote Unlock Driver’s Door 1st” in the Personal Settings section of the “Electronic V ehicle Infor- mation Center (EVIC)”, or simply follow these steps: 1.
W ARNING! Driving with the flipper glass open can allow poi- sonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your passengers could be injured by these fumes.
2. While the “Unlock” button is pressed, (after 4 seconds) press the “Lock” button. Release both buttons. The “Flash Lights On Lock/Unlock” feature can be reactivated by repeating this procedure. General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
2. Remove and replace the battery . A void touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. T o reassemble the transmitter case, join the two halves of the case together .
T o Set the Alarm The alarm will set when you use the r emote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate or when you use the power door lock switch while the door is open.
LIFTGA TE T o open the liftgate, pull up (squeeze) on the handle and lift. Manually unlocking the vehicle doors with the plunger or a key in the lock cylinder will not unlock the liftgate. W ARNING! Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
Liftgate Flipper Glass The liftgate flipper glass is also unlocked when the liftgate is unlocked. T o open the flipper glass, push up on the window switch located on the liftgate. W ARNING! T o avoid injury stand back when opening. Glass will automatically rise.
POWER WINDOWS The power window controls are located on the driver’s door trim panel. There is a single switch on the front passenger door/rear doors which operates the fr ont passenger/rear passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position.
Auto Down Both the driver and front passenger window switch has an “Auto Down” feature. Press the window switch past the first detent, release, and the window will go down automatically . T o cancel the “Auto Down” movement, operate the switch in either the up or down dir ection and release the switch.

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the sunr oof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting. OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the 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 your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to release webbing in a controlled manner . This feature is designed to help reduce the belt force acting on the occupant’s chest.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver or front passenger 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.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be reacti- vated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver or fr ont passenger seat belt remains unfastened.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger side airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
This vehicle also is equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . They are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS/AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment.
The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol- sters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger .
Children that are not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt should be secured in the rear seat, in a child restraint or belt-positioning booster seat. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
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.
• Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioner • Occupant Classification System (OCS) — Front Pas- senger Seat Only − Occupant Classification Module − Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) In.
W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
The “P AD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when teenagers, most children in a forward-facing child restraint or booster seats, most children that can properly wear the vehicle’s seat belt, and when an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passen- ger seat.
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.
because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat check to be sure it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is damaged in any way , it should only be serviced by an authorized dealer .
The driver front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented thr ough the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way , the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle.
The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the front passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning front passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the front passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product 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 if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by DaimlerChrysler Corporation and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and improve vehicle perfor- mance.
Data Parameters that May Be Recorded: • Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning lamp status for electronically-contr olled safety systems, including the airbag system • Airbag disable lamp status (.
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
belt tight, however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary). For the second and third row seat belts with the automatic locking ret.
Older Children and Child Restraints Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing direction, are for chil- dren who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and who are older than one year .
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CH ildren) Y our vehicle’s second r ow seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
The second row outboard seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LA TCH- compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-mounted lower attachments. Child seats with fixed lower attach- ments must be installed in the outboard positions only .
In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear outboard seating position located on the back of the seat. Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. 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.
If the seat belt has a automatic locking retractor , it will have a distinctive label. Pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is all extracted from the retractor .
Route the tether strap over the seat back and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether over the head rests, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur . The r ecommended viscosity and quality grades are shown in Section 7 of this manual.
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period.
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should feel the air directed against the windshield. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns.

ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
TCS (T raction Control System) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
W ARNING! BAS (Brake Assist System) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
NOTE: Anytime the ESP system is in the “Full Off” mode, ERM is disabled. Refer to ESP (Electronic Stability Program) for a complete explanation of the available ESP modes. W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur .
• Understeer - when the vehicle is turning less than appropriate for the steering wheel position. The ⬙ ESP/TCS Indicator Light ⬙ located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tir es lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.
High Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4WD high range and in 2WD vehicles. Whenever the vehicle is started or the transfer case (if equipped) is shifted from 4WD low range or neutral back to 4WD high range, the ESP system will be in this mode.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the ESP switch.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver , the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for off-highway or off-road use only .
Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Sec- tion 4 of this manual. (See page 186 for more informa- tion.) T o turn ESP on again, momentarily depress the “ESP Control Switch”. This will restore the normal “Par- tial Off” mode of operation in 4wd low range.
If the “ESP/BAS W arning Lamp” comes on continuously with the engine running, a mal- function has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both.
Rear Park Assist Sensors The four Rear Park Assist Sensors, located in the rear fascia, monitor the area behind the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view . The monitored area seems oval in shape. The sensors can detect obstacles from approximately 1 1.
When the obstacle is detected at a distance of about 59 inches (150 cm) from the rear fascia, the outermost LEDs of the warning display will be ON with increased bright- ness. Along with the LED, a half second tone will occur . As the distance of the detected obstacle to the rear fascia decreases, mor e LEDs ar e illuminated.
Enable/Disable the Rear Park Assist System The Rear Park Assist System can be enabled and disabled with a switch located in the switch bank of the instru- ment panel. When the switch is pressed to disable the system, the instrument cluster will display the ⬙ P ARK ASSIST DIS- ABLED ⬙ message.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury .
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTING 5–Speed Automatic T ransmission The electr onically controlled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electronics are self-calibrating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle, may be somewhat abrupt.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P (Park) or N (Neutral) if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
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. Before exiting a vehicle, you should apply the park brake, shift the transmission into P (Park), and remove the key from the ignition.
shifter is in the D (Drive) position, allowing the selection of the desired top gear . For example, if the driver shifts the transmission into 3 (third gear), the transmission will never shift above third gear , but can shift down to 2 (second) or 1 (first), when needed.
NOTE: If the vehicle is started in extremely cold tem- peratures, the transmission may not shift into Overdrive and will automatically select the most desirable gear for operation at this temperature. Normal operation will resume when the transmission fluid temperature has risen to a suitable level.
overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in “TOW/HAUL” mode, the transmission will shift to 3rd gear and 4th will be enabled under steady cruise conditions. The “TOW/HAUL” light will illuminate in the instru- ment cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated.
4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then restart the en- gine. 5. Move the shift lever to the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. If the pr oblem persists, P (Park), R (Reverse), and N (Neutral) will continue to operate.
cause damage to the transmission. The torque converter will refill within five seconds of shifting from Park into any other gear position. Rocking the V ehicle If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow , sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion.

road surfaces only . Driving in the 4 LOW position on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to driveline components. When operating your vehicle in 4 LOW , the engine speed is approximately three times that of the 4 HI position at a given road speed.
N (Neutral) Neutral — Disengages both the fr ont and r ear driveshafts from the powertrain. T o be used for flat towing behind another vehicle. Refer to “Recreational T owing” in Sec- tion 5 of this manual. 4 LOW Four Wheel Drive Low Range — Low speed 4 wheel drive.
4L O Wt o4H I W ith the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into N (Neutral), and raise the transfer case T -handle. The “4WD LOW Indicator Lamp” in the instrument cluster will flash and go out when the shift is complete.
Neutral (N) Shift Procedure 1. Key ON, engine off. 2. V ehicle stopped, with foot on brake. 3. Place transmission in N (Neutral). 4. Hold down N (Neutral) “pin” switch (with a pen, etc.) for 4 seconds until the LED lamp by the switch starts to blink indicating shift in pr ogress.
NOTE: If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, a “CHECK SHIFT PROCEDURES” message will flash fr om the EVIC (Electronic V ehicle Information Center). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Section 4 of this manual. (See page 186 for mor e information.
NOTE: The instrument cluster “Brake W arning Light” indicates only that the parking brake is applied. It does not indicate the degree of brake application. Before leaving the vehicle parked on a hill, you must make sure the parking brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the P (Park) position.
W ARNING! • Leaving children unattended in a vehicle 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 or the gear selector lever . Don’t leave the keys in the ignition.
W ARNING! Significant over or under inflation of tires, or mixing sizes of tires or wheels on the vehicle can lead to loss of braking effectiveness. The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low-speed self- test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! • The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
• Do not “ride” the brakes by resting your foot on the pedal. This could overheat the brakes and result in unpredictable braking action, longer stopping dis- tances, or brake damage. • When descending mountains or hills, repeated brak- ing can cause brake fade with loss of braking control.
NOTE: Increased noise levels at the end of the steering wheel travel ar e considered normal and does not indicate that there is a problem with the power steering system. Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short period of time.
conventional 2-wheel drive vehicles any more than low- slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily in off-r oad conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover .
caution and maintain a steady controlled speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water to minimize wave effects. Flowing W ater If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-of f) avoid crossing until the water level recedes and/or the flow rate is reduced.
Hill Climbing NOTE: Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the conditions at the crest and/or on the other side. Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a lower gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD LOW . Use first gear and 4WD LOW for very steep hills.
T raction Downhill Shift the transmission into a low gear and the transfer case to 4WD LOW range. Let the vehicle go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning against engine compression drag. This will permit you to control the vehicle speed and direction.
W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent an accident. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary .
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressur e is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available car go and luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
288 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, 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 tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life r esulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pressur e. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they are under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufactur er advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e 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 tires in sets of four . Never combine them with other types of tires.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are 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 tread grooves and will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident result- ing in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
NOTE: For vehicles with optional wheel/tire sizes and significantly different tire placard pressur es, the placard pressur e value and the low-pr essure threshold value is re-pr ogrammable at your authorized dealer to accommo- date the customer selected wheel/tire combinations rec- ommended by DaimlerChrysler Corporation.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor . NOTE: • The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pressure condition.

T elltale Light” will illuminate continuously (solid) and shall remain illuminated until the warning condition is removed/r eset. NOTE: The “T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light” will only illuminate for the four active road tires.
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.
General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and 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 received, including interference that may cause undesired op- eration.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 3.7/4.7L Engines (If Equipped) 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.
Over 40 auto manufacturer’s world wide have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifications (the W orld- wide Fuel Charter , WWFC) to define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, performance, and durability for your vehicle.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no performance advantage beyond gasoline of the same octane number without MMT . Gasoline blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and reduces emission system performance in some vehicles.
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after- market cap can cause the MIL (Malfunction Indica- tor Light) to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “CHECK GAS CAP” message will be displayed in the EVIC (Electronic V ehicle Information Center). Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center” in Section 4 of this manual.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling. TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle.
Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The gross combination weight rating (GCWR) is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination. (Note that GCWR ratings in- clude a 150 lbs (68 kg) allowance for the presence of a driver).
hitches are the most popular on the market today and they’re commonly used to tow small- and medium-sized trailers. W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing hitch includes a receiver attache.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/ T ransmission Model GVWR (Gross V e- hicle Wt. Rating) GCWR (Gross Com- bined Wt. Rating) Frontal Area Max.
Note 1 – The trailer tongue weight must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight referenced on the T ire and Loading Information placard. Refer to the T ire– Safety Information Section in this manual.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.
2. GTW 3. GA WR 4. 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). T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
− An electronically actuated trailer brake contr oller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electr onically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicles wiring harness. 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 from heavy traffic.
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The “D” range can be selected when towing.
− City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put transmission in neutral and increase engine idle speed. − Highway Driving Reduce speed. − Air Conditioning T urn off temporarily . − refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section of this manual for more informa- tion.
T owing — Quadra–T rac II /Quadra–Drive II 4WD Models CAUTION! Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing.
“Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in Sec- tion 4 of this manual. (See page 186 for more informa- tion.) 5. Start engine. 6. Shift transmission into D (Drive). 7. Release brake pedal and ensur e that ther e is no vehicle movement. 8. Shut the engine off.
CAUTION! T ransmission damage may occur if the transmission is shifted into P (Park) with the transfer case in N (Neutral) and the engine running. With the transfer case in N (Neutral) ensure that the engine is OFF prior to shifting the transmission into P (Park) (refer to step s7–8 above).
5. Shift transmission into P (Park). 6. Start the engine. 7. Shift transmission into D (Drive). NOTE: When shifting out of transfer case N (Neutral), turning the engine OFF may be required to avoid gear clash.
CAUTION! Do not use a bumper mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged. SNOW PLOW Snow plows, winches, and other aftermarket equipment should not be added to the front end of your vehicle. The airbag crash sensors may be affected by the change in the front end structur e.

HAZARD W ARNING FLASHERS Y our vehicle’s hazard warning flasher is an emergency warning system. When you activate it, all front and rear directional signals will flash intermittently . Use it when your vehicle is disabled on or near the road. It warns other drivers to steer clear of you and your vehicle.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEA TS In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate ac- tion. • On the highways — Slow down. • In city traffic — While stopped, put transmission in N (Neutral), but do not increase engine idle speed.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Spare Tire Stowage The spare tire is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by means of a cable winch mechanism. T o remove or stow the spare, use the jack handle to rotate the “spare tire drive” nut. The nut is located under a plastic cover at the center-r ear of the cargo floor area, just inside the liftgate opening.
Spare Tire Removal Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the Lug W rench to rotate the nut counter clockwise until the spare is on the ground with enough slack in the cable to allow to pull the tire out from under the vehicle. CAUTION! The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only .
For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel. • Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
4. Locate the jack as shown. For the front axle, place it under the front lower control arm as shown. For the rear axle, place it under the axle near the wheel to be changed. Ensure the jack is closest to the inside of the wheel when jacking on the rear axle.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. 6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel. 7. Position the spar e wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel.
NOTE: T ire should be stowed with the “beauty” side up. Storing the tire upside down may result in scratching or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the tire until you hear the winch “ratchet” three times. Double check to ensure the tire is snug against the underbody of the vehicle.
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then connect the other end to a non-paint metal surface on the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery . Make sure you have a good contact on the engine. 6.
• Be sure your vehicle is not touching the jump start vehicle. • Observe all Battery W arnings in Section 7 of this manual, while jump starting your vehicle.
W ARNING! Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. T ow straps and chains may break, causing serious injury . TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE 2WD Models Only Provided the transmission is operable, tow only in N (Neutral) at speeds not exceeding 30 mph (48 km/h), for distances of not more than 15 miles (24 km).

American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only recommends API Certified engine oils that meet the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Stan- dard MS-6395.
Materials Added to Engine Oils The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it’s performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives.
Belts should be inspected for evidence of cuts, cracks, glazing, or frayed cords and replaced if there is indication of damage which could result in belt failure. Low gen- erator belt tension can cause battery failure. Also, check belt routing to make sure there is no inter- ference between the belts and other engine components.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter damage: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless it is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compart- ment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner removed.
T o determine the battery charge, check the battery test indicator (if equipped) on top of the battery . Refer to the illustration. 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.
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.
CAUTION! Do not use Automatic T ransmission Fluid (A TF) or other types of power steering fluids when servicing the power steering system of this vehicle. Damage to the power steering system can result from the use of the wrong power steering fluid. Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not required.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, tailgate and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against rust and wear .
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of the engine compartment (on the driver side), and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
Cooling System W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot antifreeze/ coolant or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, And Refill At the intervals shown in the appropriate “Maintenance Schedule,” the system should be drained, flushed, and refilled. If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with r eliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Engine Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an impr oved antifreeze/ coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This antifreeze/coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. W ARNING! The warning words DO NOT OPEN HOT on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add antifreeze/coolant when the engine is overheated.
When additional antifreeze/coolant is needed to main- tain 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 (kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
ONL Y the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions. Hoses and V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage.
Brake and Power Steering System Hoses When servicing the vehicle for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses for evidence of heat and me- chanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling suggest deteriora- tion of the rubber .
fluid reservoir . W ith disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear . However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
for corr ect fluid type. It is important that the transmission fluid be maintained at the prescribed level using the recommended fluid. 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 .
5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until seated. 6. Remove the dipstick again and note the fluid level on both sides. The fluid level should be between the “HOT” (upper) reference holes on the dipstick at normal operat- ing temperature.
Special Additives The manufacturer recommends against the addition of any additives to the transmission. Exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. T ransfer Case Fluid Level Check Inspect the transfer case for fluid leaks.
Front/Rear Axle Fluid Front Axle Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be to the bottom of the oil fill hole. Rear Axle Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be 1/2” (1 cm) below the oil fill hole. Adding Fluid Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above.
CAUTION! Under frequent heavy-duty driving conditions, change all lubricants and lubricate body compo- nents, all driveline joints and steering linkage more often than in normal service to prevent excessive wear .
• If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use Mopar 威 Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove. • Use Mopar 威 Cleaner W ax to remove road film, stains, and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint.
• Aluminum wheels should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion. T o remove heavy soil, use Mopar 威 Wheel Cleaner or select a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner . Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush or metal polishes.
do not use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter- gents, or ammonia based cleaners to clean your leather upholstery . Application of a leather conditioner is not requir ed to maintain the original condition. W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use Mopar 威 T otal Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water .
