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

windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting. OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are 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 seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to make the belt go around your lap.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt acr oss your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
W ARNING! A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdo- men. Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seat positions, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. T o lower the shoulder belt height, push the button and slide the height adjuster down.
W ARNING! Position the shoulder belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
Energy Management Feature This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature at the driver and fr ont passenger seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to pay out webbing in a controlled manner .
Seat Belt Pretensioners The driver and front passenger seat belts ar e equipped with a pretensioning device that is designed to r emove any slack from the seat belt systems in the event of a collision. This device improves the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight around the occupant early in a collision.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position.
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS/AIRBAG ar e 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 multi stage inflator design.
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 be- cause the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
airbags work, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly . Here ar e some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appr opriate child restraint.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
• Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioners • Front Passenger Seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) − Occupant Classification Module − Passenger Airbag Disabled (P AD) Indicator .
in any part of the system, it turns on the AIRBAG warning light either momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up. W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG warning light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
• The Side Impact SRS W indow Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the window bags to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the window bag.
If there is a fault pr esent in the system, the AIRBAG warning light will light indicating that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer . In the pres- ence of an occupant in the passenger .
should always use the P AD indicator light as an indica- tion if the front passenger is pr operly positioned or not. If the P AD indicator light comes on when an adult is in the passenger seat, have the passenger re-position them- selves in the seat until the light goes out.
• The Belt T ension Sensor (BTS) is located at the outboard passenger lap belt anchor . The BTS creates a signal based on outboard lap belt tension. This signal is sent to the OCM to ensure that the r esultant bladder pressur e increase due to applied lap belt tension does not cause a small occupant to be classified as a larger occupant.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle. • 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 .
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by- product of the pr ocess that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Enhanced Accident Response System (E.A.R.S.) If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, the interior lights will turn on and the power door locks (if equipped) will unlock 5 seconds after airbag deployment. Also, the fuel system will shut off immediately upon airbag deployment (gasoline models only).
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Infants and Small Children There ar e differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult seat belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child.
• Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forwar d-facing in the vehicle. Forward-facing child seats and convertible child seats used in the forward-facing dir ection are for children who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg), and ar e older than one year old.
Standards. The manufactur er recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be appr opriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits.
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CH ildren) Y our vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system.
In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
downward into the seat, r emoving slack in the straps according to the child r estraint manufacturer’s instruc- tions. W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out. If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more.
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.
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). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an open area with engine r unning for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fr esh, outside air into the vehicle.
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should feel the air directed against the windshield. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns.

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.
Normal Starting — Gasoline Engines Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal.
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 . If Engine Fails to Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” procedur e, it may be flooded.
If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15 second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor , the “Normal Starting” procedur e should be repeated. After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled and will de- crease as the engine warms up.
T urbocharger “Cool Down” NOTE: Letting the engine idle after extended operation allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operating temperature.
Diesel Fuel-W ater Separator A diesel fuel-water separator separates the water nor- mally found in diesel fuel. A manual hand prime pump is located on the filter head for re-priming the fuel system. The fuel-water separator is located on the driver side cowl in the engine compartment.
3. Depress the fuel-water separator knob 20 consecutive times. 4. T urn the ignition to ST AR T and crank the engine a maximum of 10 seconds. If the engine does not start, repeat Step 3. NOTE: The engine will typically start within 10 sec- onds; the engine will idle then stall, purging air fr om the fuel lines and filter .
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) ar e 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 r everse, do not spin wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result. Recommended Manual T ransmission Shifting Speeds The manufacturer r ecommends that you use the shift speeds listed in the chart below .
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. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake when moving the shift lever between these gears.
Gear Ranges P (Park) Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always place the gear selector in the P (Park) position first, and then apply the parking brake.
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), depr ess the button on the shift lever and firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops.
Overdrive (O/D) For most city and highway driving. The transmission contains an electronically contr olled Overdrive, and will automatically shift from D (Drive) to O/D (Over drive) if the following conditions are pr esent: • The transmission selector is in D (Drive).
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.
Over T emperature Mode 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 r esult in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in D (Drive) position.
normal condition and will not cause damage to the transmission. The torque converter will r efill within 5 seconds of shifting from P (Park) into any other gear position. Rocking the V ehicle If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow , sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion.
When additional traction is requir ed the transfer case 4H and 4L positions can be used to lock the front and r ear driveshafts together and force the fr ont and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accomplished by simply moving the shift lever to these positions.
Proper operation of 4-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel. Any differ ence will adversely affect shifting and can cause damage to the transfer case. W ARNING! • Because 4-wheel drive provides improved trac- tion, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
4L 4-Wheel-Drive Low Range - Low speed 4 wheel drive. Locks the front and r ear driveshafts together . Forces the front and r ear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only .
NOTE: Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle completely stopped, however difficulty may oc- cur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be requir ed for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur .
The P AR T TIME indicator light, located on the instru- ment cluster , illuminates when the transfer case is shifted to the 4 P AR T TIME position. The FULL TIME indicator light, located on the instru- ment cluster , illuminates when the transfer case is shifted to the 4 FULL TIME position.

TRAC-LOK™ REAR AXLE — IF EQUIPPED The optional T rac-Lok™ rear axle pr ovides a constant driving force to both r ear wheels and reduces wheel spin caused by the loss of traction at one driving wheel.
T o release the parking brake, pull up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely . Before leaving the vehicle parked on a hill, you must make sure the parking brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the P (Park) position.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Anti-Lock Brake System is designed to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system operates with a separate com- puter to modulate hydraulic pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
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.
where additional low speed pulling power is needed. V ehicle speeds in excess of 25 mph (40 km/h) should be avoided when in 4L or 4LO range. Driving Through W ater Although your vehicle is capable of .

your speed. If the brakes are r equired to contr ol vehicle speed, apply them lightly and avoid locking or skidding the tires. W ARNING! If the engine stalls or you lose headway or cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never attempt to turn around.
After Driving Off-Road Off-r oad operation puts more str ess 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 car e 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 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 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 T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressur e for pas- senger cars is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tells you important information about the: 1) number of people that can be carried in the vehicle 2) the total weight your vehicle can carry 3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pr essures for the fr ont, rear and spare tir es.
combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight refer enced here. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occu- pants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds” on your vehicle’s placard.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 261 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 r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor tempera- tures, as tir e pressur es vary with temperature changes. Inflation pressur es specified on the label are always “Cold Inflation Pressur e.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial tires in sets of four . Never combine them with other types of tires.
T read Wear Indicators These indicators are narr ow strips 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) thick and are found in the tr ead pattern grooves. When the tread pattern is worn down to these tr eadwear indicators, the tires should be r eplaced. Overloading your vehicle, long trips in very hot weather , and driving on bad roads may r esult in greater wear .
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unap- proved tires and wheels may change suspension dimen- sions 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 pr oblem. See your dealer for proper diagnosis of the pr oblem. Improper alignment will not normally cause vehicle vibration, which may be a result of tir e and wheel out-of-balance.
The system will consist of tire pr essure monitoring sensors attached to each wheel through the valve stem mounting hole, a central receiver module and an amber colored Indicator Lamp. A sensor is located in the spare wheel if the vehicle is equipped with a matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly .
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor . NOTE: • The TPM system can inform the driver of a low tire pressur e condition.
system fault is detected. The flash cycle will repeat every ten minutes or until the fault condition is removed and reset. The T ire Pressur e Monitoring System consists of the following components: .
NOTE: The Indicator Lamp will only illuminate for the four active road tir es. A low spare tire pr essure will not cause the Indicator Lamp to illuminate When the appropriate conditions exist, the Electr onic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) displays the following messages.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the wheel rim sensor . NOTE: • The TPM system can inform the driver of a low tire pressur e condition.
TIRE CHAINS 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.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.
The suggested rotation method is the “forwar d-cross” shown in the following diagram. FUEL REQUIREMENTS (GASOLINE ENGINES) Y our engine is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 87.
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. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as har d starting, stalling and hesitations.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions.
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: DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that this vehicle should be operated using Diesel fuel with 15 ppm Sulfur or less, where it is available. W ARNING! Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door , on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap has been designed for use with this vehicle. When tightening the gas cap, tighten until 2 or 3 clicks are hear d to insure that the cap is pr operly seated.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a “CHECK GAS CAP” message will be displayed in the EVIC (Electronic V ehicle Information Center). Refer to “Overhead Console” in Section 3 of this manual.
Perform maintenance services as prescribed in the “Maintenance Schedules” section. When your vehicle is used for trailer towing, never exceed the gross axle weight rating (GA WR) by the addition of: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
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.

This might indicate a damaged cap. If the problem is detected twice in a r ow , the system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
5. Approximately 15 seconds later , one of two things will happen: a. The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn of f the 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.
DEALER SERVICE Y our dealer has the qualified service personnel, special tools and equipment to perform all service operations in an expert manner . Service Manuals are available which include detailed service information for your vehicle. Refer to these manuals before attempting any pr ocedure yourself.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine has been 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 r eadings.
If ANY of these apply to you, then change your engine oil at every interval shown in schedule “B” of the “Mainte- nance Schedules” section of this manual.
Engine Oil Selection (Diesel Engines) For best performance and maximum protection for all engines under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer r ecommends using synthetic engine oils that are API Certified (SL/CF), and meet the require- ments of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-10725.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil fr om your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can pr esent a problem to the envir onment. Contact your authorized dealer , service station, or gov- ernmental agency for advice on how and where used oil can be safely discarded in your ar ea.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire pr operly to assure engine perfor - mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the mileage specified in the appropriate main- tenance chart. The entire set should be r eplaced if there is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug.
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.
