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 dealer to give you the number . The key code can also be obtained by the dealer from your vehicle invoice.
T o remove the ignition key on models with a manual transmission, depress and hold the key release button, turn the ignition key to LOCK, and remove the key . Key-In-Ignition Reminder Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key .
keys that have been programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle for longer than the 2 second validation time period. 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.
Important Note About Service A four digit PIN number is needed to service the Sentry Key Immobilizer System. This number can be obtained from your authorized dealer . However , this number can also be found on your customer invoice that you were given upon receipt of your vehicle.
3. Insert the second valid key and turn the ignition switch ON within 15 seconds. After ten seconds, a chime will sound and the SKIM indicator light will begin to flash. T urn the ignition switch OFF and remove the second key . 4. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch ON within 60 seconds.
T o Manually Lock the Steering Wheel W ith the engine running, rotate the steering wheel 1/2 revolution from straight ahead position, turn off the engine and remove the key . Rotate the steering wheel slightly in both directions until the lock engages.
Door Locks Doors on both hard-top and soft-top models are equipped with a rocker-type interior door lock. T o lock a door when leaving your vehicle, press to the “Lock” position and close the door .
you will be carrying children too small for adult-size belts, your seat belts can also be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
normal conditions. But in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
W ARNING! • A belt 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 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 possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt cannot do its job as well.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Seat Belts And Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use seat belts throughout their pregnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) — Airbags This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instru- ment panel knee bolsters to provide improved pr otection for the driver and front passenger . The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions.
Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel An.
ORC detects a malfunction, the “Airbag W arning Light” will illuminate for a minimum of 12 seconds and will remain illuminated as long as the malfunction exists. 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 A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the impact sensors detect a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, to help restrain the driver and front passenger , and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags replaced by an autho- rized dealer as soon as possible. Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
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.
The child seat is held in the vehicle by the lap belt, lap/shoulder belt, or the LA TCH child restraint an- chorage system. • The belt-positioning booster seat is for childr en weigh- ing mor e than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit in the vehicle’s seat belts properly .
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer also recommends that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it before you buy it.
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. • When your child restraint is not in use, secure it with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle.
NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant r estraints ar e stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that befor e installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seat back, and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
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.
Installing Child Restraints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt The passenger seat belts are equipped with cinching latch plates, which are designed to keep the lap portion tight around the child restraint so that it is not necessary to use a locking clip. Pull up on the shoulder portion of the lap/shoulder belt to tighten the belt.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the child’s 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.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill.
• On hardtop models, keep the tailgate window closed when driving your vehicle. On fabric top models, do not drive with the rear window curtain up unless the side curtains are also open. This will prevent carbon monoxide and other poisonous exhaust gases from entering the vehicle.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect for tread cuts or sidewall cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness and tires (includ- ing spare) for proper pressure.

MIRRORS Inside Day/Night Mirror The mirror should be adjusted to center on the view through the rear window . A two-point pivot system allows for horizontal and vertical adjustment of the mirror . Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror to the night position (toward rear of vehicle).
NOTE: In some long, low speed traffic situations, the displayed temperature readings will be higher than the actual ambient temperature. This is considered normal.
Compass Calibration Automatic Calibration Once calibrated, the compass has the ability to self- correct for changes in magnetic field to keep the compass accurate. This is referr ed to as Automatic Calibration. If magnetic field changes are too great, the compass will enter CAL mode on it’s own and manual calibration will be required.
Compass V ariation Adjustment Compass V ariance is the difference between magnetic north and geographic north. In some areas of the country , the difference between magnetic and geographic north is great enough to cause the compass to give false readings.
T o set the variance: T urn the ignition ON, and press and hold the center button for 3 to 6 seconds. The last variance zone number will be displayed. Each press of the center button will select a new variance zone. When the proper zone is selected, wait 5 seconds to resume normal operation.
W ARNING! • V ehicles and other objects seen in the right side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are. Relying too much on your right side mirror could cause you to collide with another vehicle or other object. • Use your inside mirror when judging the size or distance of a vehicle seen in the right side mirror .
Front Seat Adjustment Move seat forward or rearwar d by lifting the lever . Be sure the latch engages fully . Front Seat Adjustment — Recline T o adjust seatback, lift lever , lean back, and release lever at desired position. T o return seatback, lift the lever , lean forward and release the lever .
W ARNING! Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
2. Lift the seatback release lever and fold seatback for- ward. 3. Slowly flip the entire seat forward. 4. When completed, return seat to it’s normal position.
Removing the Rear Seat W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Replacing the Rear Seat Reverse steps for r emoving the seat. Be certain to pull the seat belts between the seat cushion and seatback. Position them for passenger use. W ARNING! • T o help protect against personal injury , passen- gers should not be seated in the rear cargo area with the rear seat folded down or removed from the vehicle.
Next, locate handle in middle of the front end of the hood. Insert hand into gap between hood and radiator support and lift up on handle to raise hood. Y ou may have to push down slightly on hood before lifting up on handle. Insert the support r od into the slot in the radiator support.
LIGHTS Interior Lights The overhead light comes on when a door is opened. It may also be turned on by rotating the control for the dimmer switch on the muti-function control lever fully upward. The over head light will automatically turn of f in about 20 minutes if a door is left open or the dimmer contr ol is left in the dome light position.
T o change the brightness of the instrument panel lights, rotate the center portion of the muti-function control lever up or down. NOTE: If the driver’s door is left open, and the head- lights or parking lights are left on, the “High Beam Indicator Light” will flash and a chime will sound.
Front Fog Lights — If Equipped The front fog light switch is in the multi-function control lever . T o activate the front fog lights, turn on the parking or low beam headlights and pull out the end of the lever . NOTE: The fog lights will only operate with the parking lights or the headlights on low beam.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND W ASHERS CAUTION! In cold weather , always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
Windshield Washers T o use the washer , pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles after the lever is released, and then resume the intermit- tent interval previously selected.
W ARNING! T ilting the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. W ithout a stable steering col- umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve- hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
T o Set At A Desired Speed When the vehicle has reached the desired speed, press and release the SET button. Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed. T o Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, normal braking, or pr essing the CANCEL button will deactivate the Speed Control without erasing the memory .
NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000 ft. (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded (especially when towing) the vehicle may slow below the SET speed. (If the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the Speed Control will automatically disengage).
Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off W ARNING! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery , even when not in use (i.e. cellular phones, etc.). Eventually , if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.
The rear passengers have cup holders at the rear of the center console. STORAGE Glove Compartment T o open the glove compartment, pull the latch up. Rear Cup Holders Glove Compartment UNDERST ANDING T.
Console Storage Compartment — If Equipped T o unlock, insert key and turn. T o open, press the latch button. Add-A-T runk™ — If Equipped The factory-installed Add-A-T runk™ option provides a secured compartment for parcels or equipment when the tailgate is closed and locked.
DUAL TOP — IF EQUIPPED If your vehicle is equipped with a Dual T op, you must remove one of the tops from the vehicle. The soft top was installed at the factory for shipping purposes only . The soft top and the hard top are to be used indepen- dently .
4. Using a rubber mallet, carefully tap the knuckles from the outside edge. This will disconnect the bow assembly from the pivot bracket. Remove the soft top from the vehicle and store in a clean, dry location. 5. Unzip the zipper on the sport bar cover to expose the pivot bracket.
6. Reinstall the hard top. Refer to “Har d T op Installation” in this section. Installing the Soft T op NOTE: The following procedures are for first time set up only .

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.
10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedure. Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F or –29°C) T o insur e reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally power ed electric engine block heater (available from your dealer) is recommended.
If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly .
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-115 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) are expected to last for several days. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING 6-Speed Manual T ransmission Follow the shift pattern on the gearshift knob.
W ARNING! When parking your vehicle, always leave a manual transmission in first gear and apply the parking brake fully to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between a forward gear and reverse, do not spin wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result. Recommended Manual T ransmission Shifting Speeds Manual T ransmission Shift Speeds in MPH (KM/H) Engine Speeds 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 6 2.
3. Be sure to re-engage the clutch interlock safety feature by following these steps in reverse order when you are finished off-r oad driving. Automatic T ransmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” 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 re- verse. 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 always shift the vehicle into P (Park), remove the key from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
R (Reverse) For moving the vehicle rearwar d. Always stop before moving the lever to R (Reverse), except when r ocking the vehicle. N (Neutral) Engine may be started in this position. NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or otherwise driv- ing with the transmission in N (Neutral) can cause sever e damage to the transmission.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs while using Overdrive, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy load conditions (for example, in hilly terrain, strong head winds, or trailer towing), turning off over- drive will improve performance and extend transmission life by reducing excessive shifting and heat buildup.
W ARNING! Never use P (Park) position with an automatic trans- mission as a substitute for the parking brake. Al- ways apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
NOTE: The transmission electronics constantly monitor the transmission oil temperature. If the transmission gets too hot, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition. This may result in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in D (Drive) position.
Operating Instructions/Precautions The transfer case provides four mode positions — two (rear) wheel drive high range, four wheel drive high range, neutral, and four wheel drive low range. This transfer case is intended to be driven in the two wheel drive (2H) position for normal street and highway conditions such as dry hard surfaced roads.
Proper operation of four wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type, and cir cumference on each wheel. Any difference will adversely affect shifting and cause damage to the transfer case. Because four wheel drive pr ovides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
4H Position Four Wheel Drive High Range — Locks the front and r ear driveshafts together . Forces the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces. NOTE: This range should not be used during dry pavement operation.
is coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly to the desired position. Do not pause in transfer case N (Neutral). NOTE: Pausing in transfer case N (Neutral) in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may require shutting the engine OFF to avoid gear clash while completing the shift.
slight application of the accelerator will supply maxi- mum traction. When starting with only one r ear wheel on an excessively slippery surface, slight application of the parking brake may be necessary to gain maximum trac- tion.
• V ehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. T o activate the system, press the switch once to lock the rear axle only (the REAR LOCK indicator light will illuminate), press the switch again to lock the front axle (the FRONT LOCK indicator light will illuminate).
If the parking brake is not completely released, the BRAKE warning light will remain on. NOTE: Y our vehicle has automatically adjusting rear brakes and we do not recommend any adjustment other than the maintenance performed by your authorized dealer .
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or vehicle may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave a automatic transmission in P (Park), or a manual transmission in 1st gear . Make certain the transfer case is in gear .
ABOUT YOUR BRAKES Y our vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for any r eason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
W ARNING! T o use your brakes and decelerate more safely , follow these tips: • 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 distances, or brake damage.
W ARNING! T o help avoid personal injury , follow these tips: • Never reach through the steering wheel to operate steering column controls. Injury to your hands or loss of vehicle control may result. • If the engine stalls or power assist fails due to a malfunction, vehicle steering and braking will require greater effort.
The Anti-Lock Brake System pump motor runs during the self-test and during an ABS stop to provide the regulated hydraulic pressure. The motor pump makes a low humming noise during operation, this is normal. During off-r oad use, loss of traction can temporarily defeat the system and cause the warning light to illumi- nate.
CAUTION! The Anti-Lock Brake System is subject to possible detrimental effects of electronic interference caused by improperly installed aftermarket radios or tele- phones. NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard.
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.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS When T o Use 4L (Low) Range When off-r oad driving, shift to 4L (Low) for additional traction and control on slippery or dif ficult terrain, ascending or descending steep hills, and to increase low speed pulling power .
and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you must cr oss flowing water avoid depths in excess of 9 inches. The flowing water can erode the streambed causing your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Determine exit point(s) that are downstream of your entry point to allow for drifting.
If you stall or begin to lose headway while climbing a steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to a stop and immediately apply the brakes. Restart the engine and shift to R (Reverse). Back slowly down the hill allowing the compression braking of the engine to help regulate your speed.
After Driving Off-Road Off-r oad operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going off-r oad it is always a good idea to check for damage. That way you can get any problems taken care of right away and have your vehicle ready when you need it.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall 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 pr oper cold tire inflation pressur es ar e listed on the lower front inside corner of the driver door opening.
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.
220 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 tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
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 pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressure”.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e is very important.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of un- approved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
T ires may also cause the vehicle to pull left or right. Alignment will not correct this problem. See your autho- rized dealer for proper diagnosis. Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance.
These effects can be reduced by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation are especially worthwhile with aggressive tread designs such as those on On/Off Road type tires. Rotation will increase tread life, help to main- tain mud, snow , and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
premium gasoline will provide no benefit over high quality regular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result in poorer performance. Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and immediate service is requir ed.
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasoline containing METHANOL. Gasoline containing methanol may damage critical fuel system components. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
engine running for an extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with the engine running for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle. • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance.
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.
W ARNING! • Remove the fuel cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury . • The volatility of some gasoline may cause a buildup of pressure in the fuel tank that may increase while you drive. This pressure can result in a spray of gasoline and/or vapors when the cap is removed from a hot vehicle.
• Make sure that the fuel cap tether strap is not caught under the fuel cap. • Be sure to remove the key . CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.

Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer .
T owing Requirements T o promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drivetrain components the following guidelines are recommended: NOTE: T railer towing requires special rear axle lubri- cant. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in Section 7 for more information.
• Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.
T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire. − Proper tire inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to the T ires–General Information section of this manual on T ire Pressur es for proper tire inflation procedur es.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
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. However , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the “3” range should be selected.
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.
CAUTION! It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in N (Neutral) before recreational towing to prevent damage to internal parts. 1. Depress brake pedal. 2. Shift automatic transmission into N (Neutral) or de- press clutch pedal on manual transmission.
Shifting Out Of Neutral (N) Use the following procedure to prepar e your vehicle for normal usage. 1. Shift automatic transmission into N (Neutral) or de- press clutch pedal on manual transmission. 2. Shift transfer case lever into desired position. 3.

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 requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. b. The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine.
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.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off, or before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 90°F (32°C) • T axi, Police, or delivery service (commercial service) • T railer towing • Off-r oad or .
Engine Oil V iscosity (2.4L Engines) SAE 5W -30 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil improves low tempera- ture starting and vehicle fuel economy . Y our engine oil filler cap shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Filter Selection All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider- ably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not require maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage. CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause hard starting or limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent replacement of the fuel filter which is mounted in the fuel tank may be necessary .
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands after handling the battery . T o determine the battery charge, check the battery test indicator (if equipped) on top of the battery . Refer to the illustration.
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an Authorized Dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pro- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
Driveline And Steering Component Lubrication U-joints (cardan joints) are sealed and do not require lubrication. Prop shafts, yokes, ball joints and other driveline and steering components may be pr ovided with grease fittings for lubrication.
remove frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Windshield Washers The fluid reservoir in the engine compartment should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
have an authorized technician inspect the complete ex- haust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam- aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
W ith the engine at normal operating temperature (but not running), check the cooling system pressur e cap for proper vacuum sealing by draining a small amount of antifreeze/coolant from the radiator drain cock. If the cap is sealing properly , the antifreeze/coolant will begin to drain from the coolant recovery bottle.
CAUTION! • Mixing of antifreeze/coolant other than the speci- fied HOA T antifreeze/coolant may result in de- creased corrosion protection and engine damage. If a non-HOA T antifreeze/coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified antifreeze/coolant as soon as possible.
Use only high purity water such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/antifreeze (coolant) solu- tion. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system.
children, do not store ethylene glycol based antifreeze/ coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately .
• Check antifreeze/coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifreeze/ coolant needs to be added, contents of coolant recov- ery bottle must also be protected against freezing.
are present. Components should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure. Brake System In order to assure brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Refer to the appr opriate “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for suggested service intervals.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
should be checked when pads are replaced. 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.
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 the manufacturer’s recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
(cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator . The fluid level indicator should be in the COLD r egion at 70° F (21° C) fluid temperature. If the fluid level is low , add sufficient fluid to bring to the proper level. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Frequency of Fluid Change Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary unless the lubricant has become contaminated with water . If con- taminated with water , the fluid should be changed im- mediately .
CAUTION! When replacing plugs, do not overtighten. Y ou could damage them and cause them to leak. Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. Front/Rear Axle Fluid Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be at bottom edge of the oil fill hole.
Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. Maintenance After Off-Road Driving After extended operation in mud, sand or water , or similar dirty conditions, have your brake drums, brake linings, and axle joints inspected and cleaned as soon as possible.
trees and road surfaces during other seasons, are highly corrosive to the metal in your vehicle. Outside parking, which exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under- body protection.
• A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish. CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., assure that such materials are well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar 威 T ouch Up Paint on scratches or chips as soon as possible.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses The lenses in front of the instruments 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.
Follow These Steps T o Remove The Carpet: 1. Unsnap the front and rear floor carpets. A snap is located on the outboard side of each front seat. 2. Remove the attachment cap from the front footwell area on both the driver and passenger side. The cap is removed by pulling it straight out.
