A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer .
Refer to Personal Settings in the electronic vehicle informa- tion center (EVIC) Section of this manual for details. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever .
The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regar dless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked. During normal operation, the V ehicle Theft Alarm Indi- cator Light will come on for three (3) seconds immedi- ately after the ignition switch is turned on for a bulb check.
Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be programmed to any other vehicle. At the time of purchase, the original owner is pr ovided with a four digit PIN number .
Repeat this procedur e to program up to a total of 8 keys. If you do not have a programmed sentry key , contact your dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key has been lost, see your dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tems memory .
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks Lock the doors by pushing down on the door lock plunger on each door trim panel. If the door lock plunger is down when you shut the door , the door will lock. Therefor e, make sure the keys are not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
If you press the power door lock switch while the key is in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate. This prevents you fr om acciden- tally locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
2. Cycle the ignition switch between LOCK and ON and back to LOCK 4 times ending up in the LOCK position. 3. Depress the power door lock switch to lock the doors. 4. A single chime will indicate the completion of the programming. Auto Unlock The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if: 1.
3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK. 4. The driver door is opened. 5. The doors were not previously unlocked. 6. The vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).

open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the rear windows open, open the fr ont and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. If the buf feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting.
Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions.
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.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt 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.
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 Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belts in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt system by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant in a collision.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver ’ s seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while r e-buckling the seat belt.
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver ’ s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open to allow airbag deploy- ment. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . Side Cur- tain Airbags also work with seat belts to improve occu- pant protection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions.
2. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it properly . 3. All occupants should use their seat belts properly . 4. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbags time to inflate.

P AD indicator light will function normally (Refer to ⬙ Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light ⬙ in this section). If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the airbag warning light either momentarily or continuously .
The P AD indicator light should not be illuminated when teenagers, most children in a forwar d-facing child restraint or booster seats, most childr en that can properly wear the vehicle ’ s seat belt, and when an adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passen- ger seat.
properly classified. Reclining the seat back too far may change how an occupant is classified by the OCS. Drivers and adult passengers should verify that the P AD Indicator Light is not illuminated when an adult is riding in the front passenger seat.
upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger .
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag. The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the fr ont passenger airbag deploy- ment.
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the Occupant Restraint Controller detects a moderate-to- severe collision, to help r estrain 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.
Enhanced Accident Response Feature If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically . In addition, approximately 5 seconds after the vehicle has stopped moving, the interior lights will illuminate to aid visibility .
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an.

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 could 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.
than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (See the LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System Section.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seat back. The location of the lower anchorages are identified by a symbol on the seat back. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint. 2. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat.
Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
W ARNING! If you are required to drive with the trunk open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts.
Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or fuel, power steering fluid or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Un- burned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord.
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.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park) move the lever all the way forward until it stops, and is fully seated. • Look at the shift indicator display on the instrument panel to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
NOTE: If the vehicle is started in cold outside tempera- tures, shifts into Over drive may be delayed. Normal Overdrive and shifting operation will r esume when the temperature of the transmission r eaches the appropriate temperature. Refer to the “ Note ” under “ T orque Con- verter Clutch ” later in this section.
at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly dif fer- ent feeling or response during normal operation in high gear . When the vehicle speed drops or during accelera- tion, the clutch automatically and smoothly disengages.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, we recommend that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equip- ment to determine if the problem could r ecur . If the transmission cannot be reset, dealer service is requir ed.
Park Position The P ARK position is to be used when parking the vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped. The P ARK position is not intended to serve as a brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather , the driver should always use the parking brake in addition to placing the selector lever in P ARK to secure the vehicle.
Neutral No power is transmitted from the engine to the drive axle. When the brakes are r eleased, the vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do not engage in NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.
NOTE: T o avoid overrevving the engine when the selector lever is moved in “ D- ” direction, the transmis- sion will not shift to a lower gear if the engine ’ s revolu- tions per minute limit would be exceeded. Briefly press the selector lever in the “ D+ ” direction.
A reset feature is available to allow the vehicle to be driven to a dealer for service. T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the selector lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn off the engine. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds.
Automatic T ransmission — General Information CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pr e- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles. W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a brake transmission shift interlock system (BTSI) that holds the gearshift lever in the P (Park) position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
the shift lever to the Right or Left (D+/D-) position while in DRIVE. The transmission will remain in the curr ent gear until an upshift or downshift is chosen. Autostick — 5.7L Engines Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers manual gear shifting capability to provide the driver with more contr ol.
• T ransmission shifting will be more noticeable when autostick is engaged. P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park. As an added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that r equired with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railroad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
MUL TI DISPLACEMENT SYSTEM (MDS) - 5.7L Engine Only This feature of fers improved fuel economy by shutting off four of the engine ’ s eight cylinders during light load and cruise conditions. The system is automatic with no driver inputs or additional driving skills requir ed.

Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 225 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! 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.
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 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.
SELF – SEALING TIRES — IF EQUIPPED A non-hardening viscous sealant applied to the inner liner of each tire fills punctur es up to 0.19 in. (5 mm) to minimize the loss of air pressur e. This contributes to the safety of the vehicle by significantly reducing the pr ob- ability of a roadside stop due to a flat tir e.
CAUTION! The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equip- ment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster , and an au- dible chime will be activated when one or more tire pr essures is low . The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T ell- tale Light will flash on and off for 10 to 60 seconds when a system fault is detected.
LEFT FRONT , LEFT REAR, RIGHT FRONT , RIGHT REAR LOW PRESSURE One or more of these messages will be displayed in the EVIC if a low tire pr essure condition exists in one or more tires.
NOTE: • The TPMS can inform the driver of a low tire pr essure condition. • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure.
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the follow- ing precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 2.7L Engines Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane of 87. 3.5L and 5.7L Engines The 3.5L and 5.
Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality . The manufacturer supports the use of r eformulated gaso- lines. Properly blended r eformulated gasolines will pro- vide excellent performance and durability of engine and fuel system components.
Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives ar e not needed under normal conditions and would result in additional cost. Therefor e you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
NOTE: When removing the fuel filler cap, lay the cap tether in the hook, located on the fuel filler cap door reinfor cement. CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap), and may result in a malfunction indicator light on the instrument clus- ter .
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “ clicking ” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not secured pr operly the Malfunction Indicator Light in the instrument cluster will turn on. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the charts that follow . This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. If the seatbacks are folded for carrying car go, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
Overloading The load carrying components (axle, springs, tires, wheels, etc.) of your vehicle will provide satisfactory service as long as you do not exceed the GVWR and front and rear GA WR. The best way to figure out the total weight of your vehicle is to weigh it when it is fully loaded and ready for operation.

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
T owing Requirements T o promote pr oper break-in of your new vehicle driv- etrain components the following guidelines are r ecom- mended: CAUTION! • A void towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage your vehicle.
• V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in P for Park. Always, block or ⬙ chock ⬙ the trailer wheels. • GCWR must not be exceeded.
− An electronically actuated trailer brake contr oller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electr onic brake controller is not r equired.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations. T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic.
NOTE: Using the “ 3 ” range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor - mance and extend transmission life by reducing exces- sive shifting and heat build up. This action will also provide better engine braking.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle ’ s emissions control system.
recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update. A recheck with the above test r outine may then indicate that the system is now ready .
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides the maintenance items for which there ar e fixed maintenance intervals, there ar e other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
Checking Oil Level — 5.7L Engines T o assure pr oper engine lubrication, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals, such as every fuel stop.
CAUTION! Operating the engine with the oil levels below the safe zone, or operating with oil levels that exceed the top of the safe zone may cause engine damage. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacture only r ecommends API Certified engine oils that meet the requir ements of DaimlerChrysler Material Stan- dard MS-6395.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine. For information on engine oil filler cap location, refer to the Engine Com- partment illustration in this section. In areas wher e these grades are not generally available, higher SAE grades may be used.
Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced at every engine oil change. Engine Oil Filter Selection This manufacture ’ s engines have a full-flow type oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies considerably .
W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner removed.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
NOTE: The battery in this vehicle has a vent hose that should not be disconnected and should only be replaced with a battery of the same type (vented). W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don ’ t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluor ocar- bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Windshield W ashers The windshield washer fluid reservoir is located in the front of the engine compartment on the passenger side of the vehicle. Be sure to check the fluid level at r egular intervals.
W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing CO, refer to Exhaust Gas in the Safety T ips section of this manual.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
Cooling System Pressure Cap The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of coolant, and to insure that coolant will r eturn to the radiator from the coolant r ecovery bottle. The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
Hoses And V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard or soft spots, brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exces- sive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber .
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings.
Use only manufacturers r ecommended brake fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not requir ed. For this reason the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.
If the transmission is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed. Front And Rear Wheel Bearings Front and r ear wheel bearings are permanently sealed.
• Use Mopar 威 Cleaner W ax to remove r oad film, stains and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint. • A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
• If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar 威 touch up paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible.
