A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y our vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Fob with Integrated Key and a W ireless Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch. Y ou can insert the double-sided integrated key into the igni- tion switch with either side up.
Fob with Integrated Key The Fob with Integrated Key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter and a valet key , which stores in the rear of the Fob. The valet key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the Fob go dead.
Tip Start Feature Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to r emove the key . NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position.
NOTE: • The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System is not compat- ible with aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting pr oblems and loss of security protection.
procedur e. This procedure consists of pr ogramming a blank fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank fob is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle fobs with you to the authorized dealer .
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tem’s memory . This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be repr ogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an authorized dealer at the time of service to be repr o- grammed.
T o Arm the System Remove the key from the ignition switch and either pr ess a power door LOCK switch while the driver or passenger door is open, or press the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . After the last door is closed, or if all doors are closed, the system will arm itself in about 16 seconds.
If the alarm system is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the system will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the vehicle. If this occurs, disarm the system.
T o unlock the doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
T urn Headlights On with Remote Key Unlock This feature activates the headlights for up to 90 seconds when the doors are unlocked with the transmitter .
• Y ou may need to be less than 35 ft (1 1 m) from the vehicle when using the transmitter to turn off the Panic Alarm due to the radio frequency noises emitted by the system. Programming Additional T ransmitters Refer to Sentry Key 威 , “Customer Sentry Key 威 (Fob) Programming.
2. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. Reposition the access door panel over the battery opening and snap into place.
How T o Use Remote Start All of the following conditions must be met before the engine will remote start: • Shift lever in P ARK • Doors closed • Hood closed • Liftgate closed • HAZARD switc.

T o Exit REMOTE ST AR T Mode and Drive the V ehicle Before the end of the 15 minute cycle, pr ess and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter to unlock the doors and disarm the V ehicle Security Alarm (if equipped).
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks T o lock each door , push the door LOCK plunger on each door trim panel downward. T o unlock each door , pull the door LOCK plunger on each door trim panel upward. If the door LOCK plunger is down when you shut the door , the door will lock.
Power Door Locks A power door LOCK switch is on each front door trim panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors. 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.
6. The doors were not pr eviously locked using the power door LOCK switch or Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . Automatic Door Locks Programming The Automatic Door Locks feature can be enabled or disabled.
Child Protection Door Lock T o pr ovide a safer environment for small childr en riding in the rear seats, the r ear doors are equipped with a Child Protection Door Lock system. T o Engage the Child Protection Door Lock System 1. Open the rear door . 2.
W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged. NOTE: • After engaging the Child Protection Door Lock sys- tem, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for the opposite rear door . NOTE: After disengaging the Child Protection Door Lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position. WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door contr ol all the door windows.
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the key in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power WINDOW switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
T o close the window part way , lift the WINDOW switch to the first detent and release it when you want the window to stop. The power WINDOW switches will remain active for up to 60 minutes after the ignition switch is turned off. Opening either front door will cancel this featur e.
Reset Anytime the vehicle battery is disconnected or goes dead, the AUTO-up function will be disabled. T o reactivate the auto-up feature, perform the following steps after vehicle power is restor ed: 1.
LIFTGA TE The liftgate can be unlocked or locked by the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter or by activating the power door lock switches located on the front doors.
NOTE: If a power malfunction occurs, you can use the emergency liftgate latch r elease to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch r elease is located behind a snap-in cover on the liftgate trim panel. W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, the front air.
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 thr own from the vehicle. Seat belts r educe 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 front 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.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o r emove 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.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
W ARNING! The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a lock-out feature to ensure that the rear seatback is in the fully upright and locked position when occupied.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average you will prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up and down to make sure that it is locked in position.
The pretensioners ar e triggered by the Occupant Re- straint Controller (ORC). (Refer to information on Air- bags in this section). Like the front airbags, the pr eten- sioners are single use items. After a collision that is sever e enough to deploy the airbags and pretensioners, both must be replaced.
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while unbuckling the seat belt and turn off while re-buckling the seat belt. It may be necessary to r etract the seat belt. 4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e r ecommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . 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 acr oss the hips as possible.
mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove com- partment. The words SRS AIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers. NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
If the vehicle is equipped with supplemental front seat mounted side airbags, they are marked with an SRS label sewn into the outboard side of the seat.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the curtain airbags. 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 .
3. Older children who do not use child r estraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buck- led up in the rear seat. Never allow childr en to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
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.
• Seat Belt Reminder Light • Knee Impact Bolsters • Front Acceleration Sensors • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioners How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to require the airbags to inflate.
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 .
vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side cur- tain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
• Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar 威 .
NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact that causes airbag deployment, with the vehicle stopped, and the vehicle communication network intact, and the power intact, the Enhanced Accident Response System performs the following func- tions: • Cuts off fuel to the engine.
NOTE: Perchlorate Material — special handling may ap- ply . See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/per chlorate. Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags r eady to inflate for your protection in an impact.
In conjunction with other data gathered during a com- plete 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 impr ove vehicle perfor- mance.
Data Parameters that May Be Recorded: • Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-contr olled safety systems, including the airbag system • Airbag disable light 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 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.
“LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildr en)” in this section. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with the fr ont passenger airbag unless the airbag is turned off.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
5connection 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 ar e urged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e ur ge you to follow the manufacturer’s dir ections carefully when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that are pr ovided with the child restraint system.
NOTE: • Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap. • When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensur e that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints ar e stowed and out of reach of childr en.
keep the belt tight; however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary . Seat belts with an automatic locking retractor have a distinctive label on the seat belt webbing. The seat belt must be in the Automatic Locking mode in order to enable a child restraint to be tightly installed.
T o attach a child r estraint tether strap: 1. Route the tether strap to provide the most dir ect path for the strap between the anchor and the child seat. 2. Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA. 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.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be r eplaced after a collision.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if present, instr uct all other occupants to buckle their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Automatic T ransmission The shift lever must be in the NEUTRAL or P ARK position before you can start the engine. Apply the brakes before shifting into any driving gear . 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.
Normal Starting (Tip Start) NOTE: Normal Starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. Do not press the accelerator . Use the Fob with Integrated Key to briefly turn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release it as soon as the starter engages.
If Engine Fails T o Start 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 . • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
After Starting The idle speed is controlled automatically and it will 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 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift 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. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
• The electronically-contr olled transmission provides a precise shift schedule. The transmission electr onics are self-calibrating. Therefor e, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt or soft until after the break-in period. This is a normal condition, and pr e- cision shifts will develop within a few shift cycles.
Over-T emperature Mode The transmission electronics constantly monitor the trans- mission oil temperature. If the transmission exceeds nor - mal operating temperature, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition. This may result in a slightly dif ferent feeling or response during normal operation in DRIVE position.
T o activate the override, first insert the key into the ignition switch and turn it to the ACC or ON position. Then, press the pink-color ed tab trough the access pot with a small flat blade screwdriver or alike. While pressing the override, move the shift lever out of the P ARK position.
When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever in the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
NEUTRAL In 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 NEUTRAL position while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.
When frequent transmission shifting occurs when using the Overdrive range, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while towing heavy trailers, use the AutoStick 威 mode and select the “3” range.
Delayed Shifts in Cold T emperatures During cold temperature operation, you may notice delayed upshifts depending on engine and transmission temperature as well as vehicle speed. This featur e im- proves warm up time of the engine and transmission to achieve maximum efficiency .
Have the transmission checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. If the problem has been momentary , the transmission can be reset to r egain all forward gears. Permanent T ransmission Limp Home Mode Permanent Limp Home Mode will be activated if the transmission enters temporary Limp Home Mode three times.
NOTE: • In Autostick 威 mode, the transmission will only shift up and down when the driver manually moves the shift lever Right (D+) or Left (D-). • An UPSHIFT message will appear in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) portion of the in- strument cluster when using Autostick 威 .
• T ransmission shifting will be mor e noticeable when Autostick 威 is engaged. DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the rear wheels to pull errati- cally to the right or left.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water mor e than a few inches/ millimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on, or cross, a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
P ARKING BRAKE The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Never use P ARK position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
The brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is ON. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal capability , the remaining system will still function.
ABS is activated during braking under certain road or stopping conditions. ABS-inducing conditions can in- clude ice, snow , gravel, bumps, railr oad tracks, loose debris, or panic stops.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and type and tires must be pr operly inflated to produce accurate signals for the computer . Anti-Lock Brake Light The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake Sys- tem. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short amount of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and it does not in any way damage the steering system.
ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions by controlling hydrau- lic brake pressur e. This prevents wheel lock-up to help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
TCS (T raction Control System) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each driven wheel. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to pr ovide enhanced acceleration and stability .
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. The ESP corrects for oversteering and understeering the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel.
W ARNING! The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
NOTE: T o impr ove the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting-off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by momentarily depr essing the “ESP OFF” button.
NOTE: When the ESP is switched of f a feature of the system remains active. This featur e controls wheel spin across an axle quite similarly to a limited slip dif ferential.
Indicator Light should go out. However , if the light remains on, have the ESP and BAS checked at your authorized dealer as soon as possible. ESP/BAS Malfunction Indicator Light and ESP/TCS Indicator Light The Malfunction Indicator Light for the ESP is combined with the BAS indicator .
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light truck tir e 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 carr.
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 the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressure is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side B-pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
4. The resulting figur e equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 315 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. Under-inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under-inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
T ire 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 tir e inflation pressure is very important.
Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h). Refer to the paragraph on “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in Section 6. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e should be replaced. Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressure. The manu- facturer str ongly recommends that you use tires equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer readings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following 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.
If you need snow tires, select tir es equivalent in size and type to the original equipment tires. Use snow tir es only in sets of four . Failure to do so may adversely af fect the safety and handling of your vehicle.
Tire Rotation — All Season Tires The suggested rotation method for vehicles equipped with all season tires is the “forwar d-cross” as shown in the following diagram.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED • The T ire Pr essure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle recommended cold placar d pressure. • The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.
vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. − For example, your vehicle may have a recom- mended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pr essure of 30 psi (207 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance or 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. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failure.
The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor . The matching full size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es. The TPMS will only monitor the pressure in the full size spare when it is used in place of a r oad tire.
3. Accumulation of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. 4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors. NOTE: V ehicles with Full Size Spare 1. The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor that can be moni- tored by the TPMS.
5. Once you repair or r eplace the original road tir e, and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spar e, the TPMS will update automatically and the TPM T elltale Light will turn OFF , as long as no tir e pressur e is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pr essure is low in one or more of the four active r oad tires.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pr essure value.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
NOTE: V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tir e does not have a tire pr essure monitoring sensor . Therefor e, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.

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 fresh coolant.
CAUTION! • Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T engine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the speci- fied coolant as soon as possible.
• Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion- ized water when mixing the water/engine coolant solution. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion pr otection in the engine cooling system.
Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
• Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifr eeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
Ensure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
Brake and Power Steering Hoses When the vehicle is serviced for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle r ubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber .
Master Cylinder - Brake Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately if the brake system warning light indicates system fail- ure. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when per- forming underhood services. Clean the top of the master cylinder area befor e removing the cap.
CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to contaminate the brake fluid. Seal damage may result. Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks are not requir ed. For this reason, the dipstick is omitted.
Fluid and Filter Changes Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in Section 8 for the recommended transmission fluid and filter change inter - vals. If the transmission is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• Use Mopar 威 Cleaner W ax to r emove road film, stains and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint. • A void using abrasive compounds and power buf fing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
• Use Mopar 威 touch up paint or equivalent on scratches as soon as possible. Y our authorized dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned r egularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corr osion.
