console. T o disable the window controls, press the win- dow lockout button downward. T o enable the window controls, press the window lockout button upward. Auto Down Both the driver and front passenger window switches have an “Auto Down” feature.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down in certain open or partially open posi- tions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized by adjusting window opening.
NOTE: Close the rear flip-up window befor e attempting to close the swing gate (hard top models only). CAUTION! Do not press on rear wiper blade when closing the rear flip-up window , as damage to the blade will result. W ARNING! Driving with the flip-up window open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, front airbags for both the driver and front passenger , and side airbags (if equipped) for both the driver and front passenger .
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and that they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” Latch Plate Latch Plate T o Buckle THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 43 2 I n f .
W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. A belt that is loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. A twisted belt cannot do its job as well.
6. T o release the belt, push the red 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.
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.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert 姞 ) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ) will alert the driver to buckle the seat belt.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ) can be reac- tivated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The front passenger airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bol- sters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger .
seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to “Child Restraint” in this section. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you ar e using it properly . 2. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly .
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Front Seat-Mounte.
Also, the ORC turns on the Airbag W arning Light for six to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on. After the self-check, the Airbag W arning Light will turn off. If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Airbag W arning Light either momentarily or continuously .
• The Side Impact (SRS) Seat-Mounted Side Airbags (If Equipped) are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. The ORC determines if a side collision is severe enough to requir e the side airbags to inflate.
passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor . They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly .
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 . The hazard lights will flash and the fuel will be cut off to the engine.
NOTE: Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply , See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate. Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbag system ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. The airbag system is designed to be maintenance free.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by DaimlerChrysler Corporation (regar dless of initiative), the company , or its designated repr esentative, will first obtain permission of the appr o.

vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system (Refer to LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System in this section). The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly .
NOTE: T o reset this feature you must let all of the belt webbing return into the retractor . Y ou will not be able to pull out more webbing until all of the webbing has been returned back into the retractor .
LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren) Y our vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the child restraint anchorage system called LA TCH.
The r ear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LA TCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing-mounted lower attach- ments. Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboar d positions only .
Latch Anchorages (T wo-Door Models) Latch Anchorages (Four-Door Models) 70 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
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 for adjusting the tension of the strap.
a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage, and a means for adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
If the seat belt has an automatic locking retractor , it will have a distinctive label. Pull the belt from the retractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is fully extended from the retractor .
Route the tether strap over the seatback and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat. For the outboar d seating positions, r oute the tether under the head rest, and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 mi (500 km).
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period.
Airbag W arning Light The light should come on and remain on for six to eight seconds as a indicator check when the ignition switch is first turned on. If the indicator is not lit during starting, have it serviced. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

Annoying headlight glare can be reduced by moving the small control under the mirror to the night position (toward rear of vehicle).
Outside Mirrors T o receive maximum benefit, adjust the outside mirror(s) to center on the adjacent lane of traffic with a slight overlap of the view obtained on the inside mirror . W ARNING! • V ehicles and other objects seen in the right side convex mirror will look smaller and farther away than they really are.
HANDS–FREE COMMUNICA TION (UConnect 姞 ) This feature is not available on two–door or four–door models. V oice Recognition Button (UConnect 威 Hands-Free Phone) When you press this button, a “Not Equipped with UConnect” message will display on your radio screen.
SEA TS W ARNING! Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust any seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Manual Seat Height Adjustment — If Equipped The driver’s seat height can be raised or lowered by using the ratcheting handle on the outboard side of the seat. Pull upward on the handle to raise the seat. Push downward on the handle to lower the seat.
Front Easy Entry Seats (T wo-Door Models) Push the lever on the seatback rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to tilt the entire seat forward. 1. T o return the seat to a sitting position, rotate the seatback upright until it locks. 2. Push the seat rearward until the track locks.
NOTE: The front seats have a full recliner memory , which will allow the seatback to be returned to its original position. NOTE: The front seats have a track memory , which returns the seat to just past the halfway point of the track regar dless of its original position.
Also, be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold down easily . 1. Lift the seatback release lever and fold seatback for- ward. 2. Slowly flip the entire seat forward. 3. When completed, return the seat to its normal posi- tion.
Removing the Rear Seat (T wo-Door Models) W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
4. Press down on the release bar on each side, and pull the seat out and away from lower bracket. 5. Remove the seat from the vehicle. Replacing the Rear Seat (T wo-Door Models) Reverse steps for removing the seat.
NOTE: Prior to folding the rear seat, it may be necessary to reposition the front seat to its mid-track position. Also, be sure that the front seats are fully upright and positioned forward. This will allow the rear seat to fold down easily . W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
T o Raise the Rear Seat 1. Raise the seatback and lock it into place. If interfer ence from the cargo area prevents the seatback from fully locking, you will have difficulty returning the seat to its proper position. NOTE: If the rear seatback is not fully latched, the center shoulder belt will not be able to be extended for use.
Next, locate handle in middle of the front end of the hood. Insert hand into gap between hood and top of grille, and push handle to the side to raise hood. Y ou may have to push down slightly on the hood before pushing the handle. Insert the support rod into the slot on the hood panel.
Also, the rear cargo lamp may be turned on by pressing the lens. Press the lens again to turn it off. When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the way down to the OFF detent will cause all the interior lights to turn off.
Daytime Brightness Feature Certain instrument panel components (odometer , radio display) can be illuminated at full brightness during the daytime. This can be helpful when driving with your headlights on during the daytime, such as in a parade or a funeral procession.
NOTE: Lens fogging can occur under certain atmo- spheric conditions. This will usually clear as atmospheric conditions change to allow the condensation to change back into a vapor .
Passing Light Y ou can signal another vehicle with your headlights by lightly pulling the multifunction control lever toward the steering wheel. This will cause the headlights to turn on at high beam and remain on until the lever is released.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND W ASHERS CAUTION! In cold weather , always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return to the park position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may occur when the vehicle is restarted.
Windshield Washers T o use the washer , pull the lever toward you and hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for two wipe cycles after the lever is r eleased, and then resume the intermit- tent interval previously selected.
W ARNING! T ilting the steering column while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. Without a stable steering col- umn, you could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. Adjust the column only while the ve- hicle is stopped. Be sure it is locked before driving.
W ARNING! Leaving the Electronic Speed Control System on when not in use is dangerous. Y ou could accidentally set the system or cause it to go faster than you want. Y ou could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the system OFF when you are not using it.
T apping RESUME ACCEL once will r esult in a 1 mph (1.6 km/h) speed increase. Each time the lever is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the lever three times will increase speed by 3 mph (4.8 km/h), etc. T o decr ease speed while speed control is ON, push down and hold SET DECEL.
T o Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally . When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. Using Speed Control On Hills NOTE: The speed contr ol system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight speed change on moderate hills is normal.
W ARNING! ABS (Anti-Lock Brake System) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
BAS (Brake Assist System) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressure to the brakes.
ERM (Electronic Roll Mitigation) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
ESP (Electronic Stability Program) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! ESP (Electronic Stability Program) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.

again, momentarily depress the ESP OFF switch. This will restor e the normal “ESP On” mode of operation. NOTE: The ESP system will change to “Partial Off” mode if the vehicle speed exceeds 40 mph (64 km/h). After the vehicle speed is reduced below 35 mph (56 km/h), the ESP system will return to “Full Off” mode.
40 mph (48 km/h), the normal ESP stability function returns but TCS remains off. When the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (40 km/h), the ESP system shuts off.
maneuver must be performed to permanently disable ESP and defeat the functionality of the ESP switch. Repeating the procedure will r eturn the system to normal ESP operation and restore ESP switch functionality al- lowing ESP “Partial” or “Off” modes.
9. T urn the steering wheel back to center . 10. Press and hold the ESP OFF button for seven seconds. 1 1. Cycle the ignition key to OFF . After performing the ESP disable procedur e correctly , “ESP OFF” will be displayed in the odometer for approxi- mately 12 seconds each time the ignition is moved to ON.
ELECTRICAL POWER OUTLET This vehicle has two auxiliary power outlets that can provide up to 20 Amps of current for accessories de- signed for use with the standard power outlet adapters. The outlet located in the lower portion of the instrument panel has a snap-on plastic cap so that it can be covered when not in use.
Electrical Outlet Use With Engine Off W ARNING! • Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power from the vehicle’s battery , even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually , if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi- ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent engine starting.
Rear Cupholders The rear cupholders are located on the back of the center console. STORAGE Console Storage Compartment T o lock or unlock, insert ignition key and turn.
Rear Storage Compartment The rear storage compartment cover is held by a spring- loaded latch. In order to remove the rear storage com- partment cover , use the following procedur e: NOTE: The rear storage compartment latch should not be used as cargo tie-down.
DUAL TOP — IF EQUIPPED If your vehicle is equipped with a Dual T op, you must remove one of the tops from the vehicle. If the soft top is removed, the pivot brackets must also be removed from the sport bar . The soft top was installed at the factory for shipping purposes only .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death.
T urn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedur e.
If Engine Fails to 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.
If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15 second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor , repeat the “Normal Starting” or “Ex- treme Cold W eather” procedur es.
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, three wire extension cord. The engine block heater cord is found under the hood bundled in front of the battery tray .
NOTE: During cold weather , you may experience in- creased effort in shifting until the transmission fluid warms up. This is normal. Shifting Fully depress the clutch pedal before shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelera- tor pedal.
Manual T ransmission Shift Speeds in MPH (KM/H) En- gine Speeds 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 6 3.8L Accel. 15 (24) 24 (39) 34 (55) 47 (76) 56 (90) Cruise 10 (16) 19 (31) 27 (43) 37 (60) 41 (66) Downshifting Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is recommended to preserve brakes when driving down steep hills.
Maximum Recommended Downshift Speeds CAUTION! Failure to follow the maximum recommended down- shifting speeds may cause the engine to overspeed and/or damage the clutch disc even if the clutch pedal is depressed.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION 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.
Shift Lock Manual Override Y our vehicle may be equipped with a shift lock manual override. The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from P ARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal de- pressed.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This system pr events you fr om moving the shift lever out of P ARK and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. This system is active only while the ignition switch is in the ON position. Always depress the brake pedal first, before moving the shift lever out of P ARK.
P ARK This gear position supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply parking brake first, then place the shift lever in the P ARK position.
NOTE: T owing, coasting, or driving the vehicle for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recreational T owing” in Section 5 and “T owing a Disabled V ehicle” in Section 6 of this manual.
Overdrive can be locked out by pressing the O/D OFF switch located on the center console. The O/D OFF indicator light (on the switch) will illuminate to show that the switch has been activated. When the indicator light is on, Overdrive is locked out. Pressing the switch a second time restores the Overdrive function.
T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been added to the automatic transmission of this vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly differ- ent feeling or response during normal operation in high gear .
rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accom- plished by simply moving the shift lever to one of these positions. The 4H and 4L positions are intended for loose, slippery road surfaces only , and not intended for normal driving.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the N (Neutral) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
N (Neutral) Position This range disengages the fr ont and r ear driveshafts from the powertrain. T o be used for flat towing behind another vehicle. Refer to “Recreational T owing” in Section 5 of this manual. 4L Position This range locks the front and rear driveshafts together , forcing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed.
4H to 4L or 4L to 4H W ith the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift an automatic transmission into NEUTRAL (N), or de- press the clutch pedal on a manual transmission. While the vehicle is coasting at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transfer case lever firmly to the desired position.
T rac-Lok™ is especially helpful during slippery driving conditions. W ith both rear wheels on a slippery surface, a slight application of the accelerator will supply maxi- mum traction. W ARNING! On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differen- tial, never run the engine with one rear wheel off the ground.
• V ehicle speed should be 10 mph (16 km/h) or less. T o activate the system, press the bottom of the AXLE LOCK switch once to lock the rear axle only (the Rear Axle Lock Indicator Light will illuminate), press the bottom of the switch again to lock the front axle (the Front Axle Lock Indicator Light will illuminate).
The rear axle lock will disengage if the vehicle is taken out of 4L (Low) range, or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position. ELECTRONIC SW A Y BAR DISCONNECT — IF EQUIPPED Y our vehicle may be equipped with an electronic discon- necting stabilizer/sway bar .
when activation conditions are not met. The stabilizer/ sway bar should remain in on-road mode during normal driving conditions. W ARNING! Do not disconnect the stabilizer bar and drive on hard surfaced roads or at speeds above 18 mph (29 km/h), you may lose control of the vehicle, which could result in serious injury .
W ARNING! If the stabilizer/sway bar will not return to on-road mode, vehicle stability is greatly reduced. Do not attempt to drive vehicle over 18 mph (29 km/h). Driving faster than 18 mph (29 km/h) may cause loss of control of the vehicle, which could result in serious injury .
2. Remove one bolt from underside of vehicle. 3. Remove side step assembly . ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 295 5 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
The Basics of Off-Road Driving Y ou will encounter many types of terrain driving off- road. Y ou should be familiar with the terrain and area before proceeding. There are many types of surface conditions: hard packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow and ice.
When T o Use 4L (Low) Range When off-road driving, shift into 4L (Low) for additional traction and control on slippery or difficult terrain, ascending or descending steep hills, and to increase low speed pulling power .
Mud Deep mud creates a great deal of suction around the tires and is very difficult to get through. Y ou should use 2nd gear (manual transmission), or DRIVE (automatic trans- mission), with the transfer case in the 4L (Low) position to maintain your momentum.
Crossing Obstacles (Rocks And Other High Points) While driving off-road, you will encounter many types of terrain. These varying types of terrain bring differ ent types of obstacles. Before proceeding, review the path ahead to determine the correct approach and your ability to safely recover the vehicle if something goes wrong.
CAUTION! Never attempt to straddle a rock that is large enough to strike your axles or undercarriage. CAUTION! Never attempt to drive over a rock which is large enough to contact the door sills.
accelerator to avoid spinning the log out from under your tires. Then ease the vehicle off the log using your brakes. CAUTION! Do not attempted to cross a log with a greater diameter than the running ground clearance or the vehicle will become high centered.
branches or other obstacles on the path? Can you safely recover the vehicle if something goes wrong? If every- thing looks good and you feel confident, shift the trans- mission into a lower gear with 4L (Low) engaged, and proceed with caution maintaining your momentum as you climb the hill.
descent? Is there plenty of distance at the base of the hill to regain control if the vehicle descends to fast? If you feel confident in your ability to proceed then make sure you are in 4L (Low) and proceed with caution. Allow engine braking to control the descent and apply your brakes if necessary , but do not allow the tires to lock.
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. T o do so may result in tipping and rolling the vehicle, which may result in severe injury . Always back carefully straight down a hill in REVERSE gear .
CAUTION! W ater ingestion into the axles, transmission, transfer case, engine or vehicle interior can occur if you drive too fast or through too deep of water . W ater can cause permanent damage to engine, driveline or other vehicle components and your brakes will be less effective once wet and/or muddy .
CAUTION! Muddy waters can reduce the cooling system effec- tiveness by depositing debris onto the radiator . Crossing Ditches, Streams, Shallow Rivers Or Other Flowing W ater Flowing water can be extremely dangerous. Never at- tempt to cross a fast running stream or river even in shallow water .
After Driving Off-Road Off-r oad operation puts more stress on your vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going off-road it is always a good idea to check for damage. That way you can get any problems taken care of right away and have your vehicle ready when you need it.
P ARKING BRAKE T o set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the Brake W arning Light in the instrument cluster will light. T o release the parking brake, pull up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely .
the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shifter out of P ARK. W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave an automatic transmission in P ARK, a manual transmission in REVERSE or 1st gear .
W ARNING! Significant over or under-inflation of tires, or mixing sizes of tires or wheels on the vehicle can lead to loss of braking effectiveness. The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low speed self- test at about 12 mph (20 km/h).
W ARNING! • Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
If for some r eason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi- tions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.

320 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
T ire pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage, at least once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation.
T ire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage especially in the winter .
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial tires in sets of four . Never combine them with other types of tires.
T read Wear Indicators T r ead wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, result- ing in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Install chains on rear tires only . T ire chains may be installed on all models except the Sahara and Rubicon.
Follow the r ecommended tire r otation frequency for your type of driving. Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual. Mor e frequent rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pressure if the tire pressur e falls below the low pr essure warning threshold for any reason, including low temperature effects, or natural pressure loss through the 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 TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire mainte- nance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressur e, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light.
inflation pressur e of each tire on your vehicle, and inflate each tire to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressur e value. The system will automatically update and the T ire Pressure Monitoring T elltale Light will extinguish once the updated tire pressur es have been received.
NOTE: If your vehicle is not equipped with a matching full-size spare wheel and tir e assembly , it does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor in the spare tire.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS All engines (except 5.7L engines) are de- signed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality un- leaded “regular” gasoline having an oc- tane rating of 87. The use of premium gasoline is not recommended.
The manufactur er supports the use of reformulated gaso- line. Properly blended reformulated gasoline will pro- vide excellent performance and durability for the engine and fuel system components. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE.
It is even more important to look for gasoline without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California- reformulated gasoline. Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives.
• The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufacturer .
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is the correct one for this vehicle.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control sys- tem could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting after- market cap can cause the Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
Each axle’s GA WR is determined by the components in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires, or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension components, sometimes specified by purchasers for in- creased durability , does not necessarily increase the ve- hicle’s GVWR.
the front or rear axles has been exceeded, but the total load is within the specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from front to rear , or rear to front, as appropriate until the specified weight limitations are met. Store the heavier items down low and be sure that the weight is distributed equally .
Common T owing Definitions The following trailer towing-related definitions will as- sist you in understanding the following information: Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle. This includes driver , passengers, car go and trailer tongue weight.
T railer T ongue W eight (TW) The trailer tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer . In most cases it should not be less than 10% or more than 15% of the trailer load. Y ou must consider this as part of the load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! An improperly adjusted weight-distributing hitch system may reduce handling, stability , braking per- formance, and could result in an accident.
T railer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition.

T railer and T railer 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.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or authorized dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.
2. GTW 3. GA WR 4. T ongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requir ement may limit the ability to always achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight). T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
− An electronically-actuated trailer brake controller is requir ed when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge-actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required.
The T railer T ow Package will include a 4–pin wiring harness. Use a factory-approved trailer harness and connector . NOTE: Do not cut or splice wiring into the vehicles wiring harness. The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector .
If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in 1st gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the OVERDRIVE range should be selected.
T owing T ips — Cooling System T o reduce potential for engine and transmission over- heating, take the following actions: − Highway Driving Reduce speed. − Air Conditioning T urn off temporarily . − refer to Cooling System Operating information in the Maintenance section of this manual for more informa- tion.
T owing – 4WD Models NOTE: The transfer case must be shifted into N (Neu- tral) for recr eational towing. Shifting Into Neutral (N) Use the following procedure to prepar e your vehicle for recr eational towing.
CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the trans- mission is shifted into P ARK with the transfer case in N (Neutral) and the engine running. W ith the trans- fer case in N (Neutral) ensure that the engine is off prior to shifting the transmission into P ARK (refer to step s7–8 above).
CAUTION! • Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged. 362 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.

Insert your ignition key into the ignition switch. 2. T urn the ignition to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine.
serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running. REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine MOP AR 威 parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to en- sure the designed performance.
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 are fixed maintenance intervals, there are other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in Section 8 for recommended engine oil change intervals.
Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber , should not be used. Synthetic Engine Oils Synthetic engine oils can be used if the recommended oil quality requir ements are met, and the recommended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ension Belt tension is controlled by means of an automatic tensioner . No belt tension adjustments are requir ed. However , belt and belt tensioner condition should be inspected at the specified intervals, and replaced if re- quired.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in Section 8 for recommended engine air cleaner filter change intervals. W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless it is necessary for repair or maintenance.
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer approved A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Conditioners, Compr es- sor Oil, and Refrigerants. Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluoro- carbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) and is an ozone-saving product.
Driveline And Steering Component Lubrication All driveline and steering components are sealed and do not requir e lubrication. Driveshafts are not serviceable.
Windshield And Rear Window W ashers The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer (if equipped) is shared. The fluid reservoir is located in the engine compartment. Be sure to check the fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the r eservoir with windshield washer solvent only (not radiator anti- freeze).
into the passenger compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubri- cation or oil change. Replace as requir ed. Cooling System W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot antifreeze/ coolant or steam from your radiator .
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, And Refill The cooling system should be drained, flushed, and refilled, at the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedule. Refer to Section 8 of this manual. If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Engine Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an impr oved antifreeze/ coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This antifreeze/coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 mi (160 000 km) before replacement.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. W ARNING! The warning words DO NOT OPEN HOT on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add antifreeze/coolant when the engine is overheated.
When additional antifreeze/coolant is needed to main- tain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
ONL Y the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions. Hoses and V acuum/V apor Harnesses Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage.
Brake and Power Steering System Hoses When servicing the vehicle for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses for evidence of heat and me- chanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling suggest deteriora- tion of the rubber .
Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture. CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid.
T o properly check the automatic transmission fluid level, the following procedur e must be used: 1. Operate the engine at idle speed and normal operating temperature. 2. The vehicle must be on level ground. 3. Fully apply parking brake. 4. Place the gear selector momentarily in each gear position ending with the lever in P ARK.
CAUTION! Be aware that if the fluid temperature is below 50° F (10° C), it may not register on the dipstick. Do not add fluid until the temperature is elevated enough to produce an accurate reading.
Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a point not more than 3/16 in (4.76 mm) below the bottom of the hole. Add fluid, if necessary , to maintain the proper level.
Drain First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C). Recom- mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is 15 to 25 ft lbs (20 to 34 N·m). CAUTION! When replacing plugs, do not overtighten. Y ou could damage them and cause them to leak. Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid.
Following off-r oad usage, completely inspect the under- body of your vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steer- ing, suspension and exhaust system for damage. Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering and suspension.
hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under- body protection. The following maintenance r ecommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle.
CAUTION! • Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. • Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi (8 274 kPa) can result in damage or removal of paint and decals.
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 corrosion. T o remove heavy soil, use MOP AR 威 Wheel Cleaner or select a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner .
W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause respiratory harm. CAUTION! When installing hanging air fresheners in your ve- hicle, read the installation instructions carefully .
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use MOP AR 威 T otal Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water .
RINSING — Be sure to remove all trace of cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with clean water . Remember to allow the top to dry before lowering it. Care Of Fabric T op W indows CAUTION! Y our vehicle’s fabric top has pliable plastic windows which can be scratched unless special care is taken by following these directions: 1.
zipper halves with fresh water and allow to dry . Aggres- sively work the MOP AR 威 Soft T op Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant into the zipper teeth. If a stuck zipper slide is experienced, work the MOP AR 威 Soft T op Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant into the zipper slide.
