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 ar e 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 .
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times to reduce or pr event injuries. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle have combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in an accident, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
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! (Continued) • A shoulder belt placed behind will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt cannot do its job as well.
Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lockout (Four-Door Models Only) This featur e is designed to lock the retractor whenever the 60% rear seatback is not fully latched. This pr events someone from wearing the rear center lap/shoulder belt when the rear seatback is not fully latched.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seat positions, the shoulder belt anchorage can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Push in on the anchorage near your outside shoulder and slide it up or down to r each the position that serves you best.
occupant early in a collision. Pr etensioners work for all size occupants, including those in child restraints. NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for proper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt must still be worn snugly and positioned properly .
3. W ithin 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. 4. T urn the ignition key to the OFF position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the seat belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and stow the seat belt extender when not needed.
The fr ont airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If your vehicle is equipped with side airbags, do not attach cupholders or any other objects on or around the door . The inflating side airbag could drive the objects into occupants, causing serious injury . • Do not cover or place items on the airbag covers.
Infants in rear facing child restraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
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 Seat T rack Position Sensors • Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioner How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) Module de- termines if a fr ontal or side collision is severe enough to requir e the front and/or side airbags to inflate.
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A lar ge quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the fr ont passenger , and position every- one for the best interaction with the front airbag.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you ar e involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to pr otect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision.
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.
deceleration data during and/or after airbag deploy- ment. EDR data are ONL Y recorded if an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and are otherwise unavailable. NOTE: 1. A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indica- tive of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag deployment.
1. Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter preserved. 2. Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler LLC product. 3. Requested by police under a legal warrant.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small childr en ride in pr oper r estraint systems. This is the law , and you can be pr osecuted for ignoring it.
• The infant carrier is only used r earward-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for children who weigh up to about 20 lbs (9 kg). “Convertible” child seats often have a higher weight limit .
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it.
• Buckle the child into the restraint exactly as the manufacturer’s instr uctions tell you. • When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or r emove it from the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • 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.
NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LA TCH- compatible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
of reach of children. It is r ecommended that befor e installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system. The rear seat lower anchorages are round bars, located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seatback, and ar e visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.
In addition, ther e ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Latch Anchorages (Four -Door Models) T ether Strap Mounting (T wo-Door Models) 68 TH.
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.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
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, route 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 br eak-in period is not requir ed for the engine in your 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.
SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPORT 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 seri- ously injured or killed.
If you are requir ed to drive with the trunk/liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recir culation mode. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield.

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 ip Start Feature — Automatic T ransmission Only T urn 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, but will automatically disengage itself when the engine is running.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and, once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
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 the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cor d to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wir e extension cord. The engine block heater cor d 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 pr ess the clutch pedal before shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal.
Manual T ransmission Shift Speeds in MPH (KM/H) Engine Speeds 1 to 2 2 to 3 3 to 4 4 to 5 5 to 6 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 fr om 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 pressed.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED 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.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock 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 fr om P ARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal pressed.
Automatic T ransmission with Overdrive Shifting from DRIVE to P ARK or 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.
W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position 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. • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than the idle speed.
• The O/D OFF switch has not been activated. • V ehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48 km/h). When frequent transmission shifting occurs while using Overdrive, such as when operating the .
second time restor es the Overdrive function. The lockout feature is useful when towing a trailer or carrying a heavy load. 2 (Second) This range is used for moderate grades and to assist braking on dry pavement or in mud and snow . The vehicle begins from a stop in low gear with automatic upshift to 2nd gear .
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 tor que converter engages automatically at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly dif fer- ent feeling or r esponse 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 ar e 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.
4L Position This range locks the front and rear driveshafts together , forcing the front and rear wheels to r otate at the same speed. This range (4L) provides additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only . Do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
W ARNING! Failure to engage a position completely can cause transfer case damage or loss of power and vehicle control. Y ou could have an injury accident.
AXLE LOCK (TRU–LOK™) — RUBICON MODELS The AXLE LOCK switch is located on the lower switch bank (below the climate controls). This feature will only activate when the following con- ditions are met: • Key in ignition, vehicle in 4L (Low) range.
REAR AXLE LOCK (FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE NON-RUBICON MODELS) — IF EQUIPPED The REAR AXLE LOCK switch is located on the lower switch bank (below the climate controls). This feature will only activate when the following con- ditions are met: • Key in ignition, vehicle in 4L (Low) range.
This system is controlled by the SW A Y BAR switch located on the lower switch bank (below the climate controls). Press the SW A Y BAR switch to activate the system. Press the switch again to deactivate the system. The “Sway Bar Indicator Light” (located in the instrument cluster) will illuminate when the bar is disconnected.
T o disconnect the stabilizer/sway bar , shift to either 4H or 4L (refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in this section) and press the SW A Y BAR switch to obtain the off-r oad position. The “Sway Bar Indicator Light” will flash until the stabilizer/sway bar has been fully discon- nected.
An advantage of the higher gr ound clearance is a better view of the r oad, allowing you to anticipate problems. They are not designed for cornering at the same speeds as conventional two-wheel drive vehicles any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfacto- rily in of f-road conditions.
3. Remove the side step assembly . 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 ar ea before pr oceeding. There are many types of surface conditions: hard-packed dirt, gravel, rocks, grass, sand, mud, snow and ice.
W ARNING! Always wear your seat belt and firmly tie down cargo. Unsecured cargo can become projectiles in an off-road situation. When to Use 4L (Low) Range When off-r oad driving, shift into 4L (Low) for additional traction and control on slippery or difficult terrain, ascending or descending steep hills, and to incr ease low speed pulling power .
CAUTION! On icy or slippery roads, do not downshift at high engine RPM or vehicle speeds, because engine brak- ing may cause skidding and loss of control. Mud Deep mud creates a great deal of suction around the tires and is very difficult to get thr ough.
CAUTION! Reduced tire pressures may cause tire unseating and total loss of air pressure. T o reduce the risk of tire unseating, while at a reduced tire pressure, reduce your speed and avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu- vers. Crossing Obstacles (Rocks and Other High Points) While driving off-r oad, you will encounter many types of terrain.
Crossing Large Rocks When appr oaching large rocks, choose a path which ensures you drive over the largest of them with your tires. This will lift your undercarriage over the obstacle. The tread of the tir e is tougher and thicker than the side wall and is designed to take the abuse.
on top of the log while the other just starts to climb the log. While climbing the log, modulate your brake and accelerator to avoid spinning the log out fr om under your tires.
Before Climbing A Steep Hill As you approach a hill, consider its grade or steepness. Determine if it is too steep. Look to see what the traction is on the hill side trail.
Driving Downhill Before driving down a steep hill, you need to determine if it is too steep for a safe descent. What is the surface traction? Is the grade too steep to maintain a slow , controlled des.
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 .
CAUTION! • W ater ingestion into the axles, transmission, trans- fer 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 str ess 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 pr oblems taken care of right away and have your vehicle ready when you need it.
• If you experience unusual vibration after driving in mud, slush or similar conditions, check the wheels for impacted material. Impacted material can cause a wheel imbalance and freeing the wheels of it will correct the situation.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
P ARKING BRAKE NOTE: This vehicle is not equipped with a self- adjusting parking brake system. Refer to the “Mainte- nance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals. T o set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible.
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 . Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
The Anti-Lock Brake System conducts a low speed self- test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If for any reason your foot is on the brake when the vehicle reaches 12 mph (20 km/h), this check will be delayed until 25 mph (40 km/h).
W ARNING! (Continued) • The capabilities of an ABS-equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the ve- hicle, nor can they increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressure during the stopping sequence. Do not reduce brake pedal pressure unless braking is no longer desired.
W ARNING! If the clutch pedal (manual transmission only) re- mains pressed during the application of the throttle, the HSA will disengage allowing the vehicle to roll down the incline.
HSA on Automatic T ransmission V ehicles The system will work in REVERSE, and all forward gears on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. The system will not activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL.
W ARNING! (Continued) • HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P ARK and using the parking brake, it will roll down the hill and could cause a collision with another vehicle or object.
speed of the vehicle. When ERM determines that the rate of change of the steering wheel angle and vehicle’s speed are sufficient to potentially cause wheel lift, it applies the appropriate brake and may reduce engine power to lessen the chance that wheel lift will occur .
counteracting the over/under steer condition. Engine power may also be reduced to help the vehicle maintain the desired path. ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle.
The ESP system has three available operating modes in 4H range. The system has one operating mode in 4L range. T wo-wheel drive vehicles and four-wheel drive vehicles in 2H range have two operating modes. 4H Range (4WD Models) or 2WD Models On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 4H and 2WD vehicles.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pr essing the ESP OFF switch.
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver , the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” ESP mode is intended for off-road use only .
W ARNING! W ith the ESP switched off, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP and ERM are unavailable. In an emergency evasive maneuver , the ESP and ERM systems will not engage to assist in maintaining stability . The “Full Off” mode is intended for off- road use only .
The following procedure will disable (or re-enable) ESP functionality in the vehicle: 1. Shift the transfer case into the 4H range position. 2. T urn the steering wheel until it is centered and the wheels are pointed straight ahead. 3. Cycle the ignition key OFF to ON.
If the “ESP/BAS W arning Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system, or both.
W ARNING! If TSC activates while driving, slow the vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe location, and adjust the trailer load to eliminate trailer sway .
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on Eur opean design standards.

338 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 tr ead life r esulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
T ire pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspected for signs of tir e wear or visible damage, at least once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pressur e. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation.
T ire pressur es change by appr oximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressur e inside a garage, especially in the W inter .
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 re- placed. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact with oil, grease and gasoline. Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, handling, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.
when the outside temperature decr eases, the tire pr essure will decrease. T ire pressur e should always be set based on cold inflation tire pr essure. This is defined as the tire pressur e after a vehicle has not been driven for more than three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.
30 psi (207 kPa), but the “T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale Light” will still be ON. In this situation, the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will turn OFF only after the tires have been inflated to the vehicle’s recom- mended cold placard pr essure value.
• The TPMS is not a substitute for pr oper tir e 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 ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light.
each tire to the vehicle’s r ecommended 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 pressures have been received. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) to receive this information.
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 spar e tire.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS All engines ar e designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded “regular” gaso- line having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium gasoline is not r ecommended, as it will not provide any benefit over r egular gasoline in these engines.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates ar e requir ed in some areas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
• disconnect and reconnect the battery to reset the engine controller memory More extensive repairs will be requir ed for prolonged exposure to E-85 fuel. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber .
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by Federal law . Using leaded gasoline can impair engine perfor- mance, and damage the emission control system.
stopped in an open area with the engine running for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fr esh, outside air into the vehicle. • Guard against carbon monoxide with proper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised.
sound is heard. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off. If the pr oblem persists, the message will appear the next time the vehicle is started. This might indicate a damaged cap.
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 pur chasers 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 r ear to fr ont, as appr opriate until the specified weight limitations are met. Store the heavier items down low and be sur e that the weight is distributed equally .
Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The GTW is the weight of the trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and equipment (permanent or tem- porary) loaded in or on the trailer in its ⬙ loaded and ready for operation ⬙ condition. The recommended way to measure GTW is to put your fully-loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.

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.
• When hauling cargo or towing a trailer , do not over- load your vehicle or trailer . Overloading can cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to the brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspen- sion, chassis structur e or tires.
− Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires–General Information” in this section for proper tire inflation pr ocedures. − Check the trailer tires for proper tire inflation pres- sures befor e trailer usage.
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.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustration. T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from heavy traffic.
The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARL Y tow a trailer for mor e than 45 minutes of continuous operation. Refer to the “Main- tenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals.
RECREA TIONAL T OWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) CAUTION! Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing. T owing – T wo-Wheel Drive Models Recreational towing is allowed ONL Y if the rear drive- shaft is removed.
Use the following pr ocedure to prepare your vehicle for recr eational towing. CAUTION! It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in N (Neutral) before recre- ational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
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 of f prior to shifting the transmission into P ARK (refer to steps 8 – 9 above).

This might indicate a damaged cap. If the pr ob- lem is detected twice in a row , the system will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light.
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 OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.
your vehicle. Refer to these manuals before attempting any procedur e yourself. NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Y our vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes in these components as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air condi- tioning.
Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance. Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for information on this system. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or six months, whichever occurs first.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine.
Engine Oil Filter Selection All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider- ably . Only high quality filters should be used to assur e most efficient service.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and are identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
attention should also be given to hood latching compo- nents to ensure proper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, r elease mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel and wipe clean the wiper blades; this will help blade perfor - mance. T o pr event freeze-up of your windshield washer system in cold weather , select a solution or mixture that meets or exceeds the temperatur e range of your climate.
CAUTION! The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effective- ness of the catalyst as an emissions control device and may seriously reduce engine performance and cause serious damage to the engine.
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 exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.
Cooling System W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, and Refill If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thor ough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
CAUTION! (Continued) • This vehicle has not been designed for use with Propylene Glycol based engine coolant (anti- freeze). Use of Propylene Glycol base engine cool- ant (antifreeze) is not recommended. Adding Engine Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals.
NOTE: Mixing engine coolant (antifr eeze) types will decrease the life of the engine coolant (antifreeze) and will require more frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) changes.
to r emain in puddles on the gr ound. If ingested by a child or pet, seek emergency assistance immediately . Clean up any ground spills immediately . Engine Coolant Level The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate.
• Check the engine coolant (antifr eeze) fr eeze point in the radiator and in the coolant r ecovery bottle. If engine coolant (antifreeze) needs to be added, the contents of the coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear , and possible brake damage. Y ou would not have your full braking capacity in an emergency .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. • Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container (both as to bottles and the master cylinder remaining covered) to avoid contamina- tion from foreign matter or moisture.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer’s recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
adding any quantity of oil through the dipstick tube, wait a minimum of two minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission before r echecking the fluid level.
CAUTION! Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as the chemicals can damage your transmission compo- nents. Such damage is not covered by the New V ehicle Limited W arranty . Hydraulic Clutch Fluid — Manual T ransmission The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance-free system.
Adding Fluid Fluid should be added only at filler hole until fluid begins to run out of the hole. Drain First remove the fill plug (B), then the drain plug (C). The recommended tightening torque for the drain and fill plugs is 15 to 25 ft lbs (20 to 34 N·m).
Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type.
