A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Y ou can insert the double sided keys into the locks with either side up. The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys fr om your dealer .
NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof, and power outlets will r emain active for up to 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening either front door will cancel this featur e. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
chip (transponder) embedded into them. Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regar dless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it can not be programmed to any other vehicle.
4. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch ON within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds a single chime will sound. The Theft Alarm Light will stop flashing, turn on for 3 seconds; then turn off. The new Sentry Key has been programmed.
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks Lock the doors by pushing up on the lock knob on each door trim panel. If the lock knob is up when you shut the door , the door will lock. Therefor e, make sure the keys are not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
Power Door Locks A power door lock switch is on each front door trim panel. Use this switch to lock or unlock the doors. If you press the power door lock switch while the key is in the ignition, and any front door is open, the power locks will not operate.
1. Close all doors and place the key in the ignition switch. 2. Cycle the ignition switch ON/OFF four times ending in the OFF position. (do not start the engine) 3. W ithin 10 seconds of the final cycle, press the interior driver ’ s door lock switch to the LOCK position.
4. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming. The Auto Unlock On Exit feature is enabled when your vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant and can be.
T o activate the system, open the rear door and move the child lock control, located near the door ’ s r ear latch, to the ON position. When the child lock system is engaged the door can be opened only by using the outside door handle even though the inside door lock is in the unlocked position.
T o unlock the doors and liftgate: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the transmitter once to unlock the driver ’ s door , or twice to unlock all doors and liftgate.

If your Remote Keyless Entry transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions. 1. A weak battery in the transmitter . The expected life of the battery is a minimum of three years. 2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios.
3. T o reassemble the transmitter case, snap the two halves together . Make sure ther e is an even “ gap ” be- tween the two halves. T est transmitter operation. VEHICLE THEFT ALARM This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition switch for unauthorized entry or operation.
T o disarm the system: Press the UNLOCK button on the keyless entry transmitter . Also, using a valid sentry key and moving the ignition switch to the ON/ST AR T posi- tion will disarm the system. If you disarm the system and access the liftgate area, the system must be r earmed, as described previously , when closing the liftgate.
The alarm system will be activated when the battery is connected if the system was previously armed. The exterior lights will flash, the horn will sound, and the ignition will not start the vehicle.
NOTE: • In the event of a power malfunction to the liftgate, an emergency liftgate latch r elease can be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch r elease can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the lift- gate trim panel.
W ARNING! During power operation, personal injury or cargo damage may occur . Ensure the liftgate travel path is clear . Make sure the liftgate is closed and latched before driving away .
• If the power liftgate encounters multiple obstructions within the same cycle, the system will automatically stop and must be opened or closed manually . W ARNING! • Driving with the liftgate open can allow poison- ous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
There ar e single window controls on each passenger door trim panel which operate the passenger door windows. The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSOR Y position. The window lock switch on the driver ’ s door allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors.
windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions. This is a normal occur- rence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the rear windows open, open the fr ont and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting.
NOTE: The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity . Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
normal conditions. But in a collision, the belt will lock and reduce the risk of your striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is near the seatback of the front seats and next to your arm in the r ear seats. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click ” . W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt acr oss your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you ’ ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 ° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upwar d over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or RUN position. DaimlerChrysler does not recommend deactivating the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert). 1. T urn the ignition switch to the OFF position and buckle the driver ’ s seat belt.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take the force if ther e is a collision. Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short, even .
Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System - Airbag This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver ’ s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to “ Occupant Classification System ” in this section). This vehicle may also be equipped with a driver inflat- able knee blocker located on the instrument panel below the steering column.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here ar e some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat. Infants in rear facing child r estraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag.
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.
• Interconnecting W iring • Knee Impact Bolster • Driver Inflatable Knee Blocker • Front Passenger Seat Occupant Classification System (OCS) − Occupant Classification Module − Passenger Ai.
Also, the ORC turns on the AIRBAG warning light and P AD indicator light in the center of the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds for a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.
the airbags inflate to their full size. The airbags fully inflate in about 50 – 70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes.
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees, and position everyone for the best interaction with the front airbag. • If your vehicle contains a Passenger Airbag Disable indicator light, it will be equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS).
The ORC will not allow front airbag deployment in the event of a collision for occupants classified into the empty or child size categories. The P AD indicator light will illuminate indicating that the Passenger Airbag is OFF when the OCS has determined that the occupant size category is a child.
For almost all sizes of properly seated adults, the airbag will be enabled in the event of a collision. For small teenagers and some small adults, depending on size, the airbag may or may not be enabled in the event of a collision.
• The Belt T ension Sensor (BTS) is located at the outboard passenger lap belt anchor . The BTS generates a signal based on outboard lap belt tension. This signal is sent to the OCM to ensure that the r esultant bladder pressur e increase due to applied lap belt tension does not cause a small occupant to be classified as a larger occupant.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle. • Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar .
However , if you haven ’ t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
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 because the airbags are not there to protect you.
• The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second interval. • The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too.
The lower anchor bars of the LA TCH System are located where the seat back meets the seat cushion. The tether anchors are located on the r ear surface of the seat. Child restraint systems designed to be compatible with the vehicles LA TCH System are now available.
When using the LA TCH System, always follow the child restraint manufactur es installation instructions. NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LA TCH com- patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.
When the tether anchorage is used in the third r ow seating position, the strap should be positioned straight over the top of the seatback. Infants and Children There ar e differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
• The infant carrier is only used rearwar d-facing in the vehicle. It is recommended for childr en who weigh up to about 9 kg (20 lbs). ⬙ Convertible ⬙ child seats can be used either rearwar d-facing or forward-facing in the vehicle.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er ’ s directions. • When your child restraint is not in use, secur e it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle. Don ’ t leave it loose in the vehicle.
have tether straps, and you are ur ged to take advantage of all of the available attachments provided with your child restraint in any vehicle. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system.
Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Airbag Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Un- burned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly . Do not overspeed en- gine. If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15 second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor , the “ NORMAL ST AR TING ” procedur e should be repeated.
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.
Automatic T ransmission Ignition Interlock System This system prevents the key fr om being removed unless the shift lever is in P ARK. It also prevents shifting out of P ARK unless the key is in the ACCESSOR Y or ON position.
NOTE: Even if the transmission can be reset, it is recommended that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equip- ment to determine if the problem could r ecur . If the transmission cannot be reset, dealer service is requir ed.
AUTOSTICK Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that of fers manual gear shifting capability to provide you with mor e control. Autostick allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
• Y ou can start out in first, second, or third gear . Shifting into fourth gear can occur only after vehicle speed reaches 15 mph (24 km/h). • The transmission will automatically downshift to first gear when coming to a stop. • Starting out in third gear is helpful in snowy or icy conditions.
CAUTION! All wheels must have the same size and type tires. Unequal tire sizes must not be used. Unequal tire size may cause failure of the power transfer unit and/or the viscous coupling. P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on.
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of park. As an added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on a uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort requir ed to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that r equired with the power system operating.
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
When the vehicle is driven over 7 mph (1 1 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system per- forming its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly . This self check occurs each time the vehicle is started and accelerated past 7 mph (1 1 km/h).
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
TRACTION CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED The T raction Control System r educes wheel slip and maintains traction at the driving (front) wheels. The system reduces wheel slip by engaging the brake on the wheel that is losing traction (spinning). The system will operate at speeds below 35 mph (56 km/h).
NOTE: • The T raction Control system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when in operation. • Extended heavy use of T raction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the traction control indicator located in the instrument cluster .
• European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standar d have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width.

ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 271 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
The 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 pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation.
T ire pressur e may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pr essure build up or your tire pr essure will be too low . T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
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 ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! The limited use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 60 mph (100 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly .
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm). When the indicators appear in 2 or more adjacent gr ooves, the tire should be r eplaced. Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point.
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 suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing 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 r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . ALL WHEEL DRIVE (A WD) — IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! All Wheel Drive (A WD) vehicles must have the same size and type tires on all wheel positions.
1,2,3, OR 4 TIRE(S) LOW PRESSURE Low tire pr essure levels of 26 psi [1.79 bars] (179 kPa) or less detected in one or more tir es. Inspect all tires for pr oper inflation pressur e, once the proper ti.
CAUTION! The TPM system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sen- sor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
General Information This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference r eceived, including interference that may cause undesir ed op- eration.
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle or tires, observe the following precautions: • Because of restricted chain clearance between tires and other suspension components, it is important that only chains in good condition are used. Broken chains can cause serious damage.
Snow tires generally have lower speed ratings than what was originally equipped with your vehicle and should not be operated at sustained speeds over 75 mph (120 km/h). TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to 89 or higher . The manufacturer r ecommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives ar e not needed under normal conditions and would result in additional cost. Therefor e you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “ top off ” the fuel tank after filling.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the charts that follow . This information should be used for passenger and luggage loading as indicated. If the seatbacks are folded for carrying car go, do not exceed the specified GVWR and GA WR.
W ARNING! Because the front wheels drive and steer the vehicle, it is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
A loaded vehicle is shown in the illustration. Note that neither the GVWR or the GA WR capacities have been exceeded. Example Only Front Axle Rear Axle Empty W eight 2538 lbs (1 151 kg) 2076 lbs (942 .
T o maintain warranty coverage, follow the requir ements and recommendations in this manual concerning ve- hicles used for trailer towing. Perform maintenance services as prescribed in the main- tenance schedules manual.
• Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. • Whenever you pull a trailer , regar dless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are recommended for motoring safety .
MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT TRA VEL CONDITION T railer Frontal Area Not T o Exceed 40 Square Feet (3.72 Square Meters) 3.5/3.8L ENGINES MAX. COMBINED WEIGHT OF VEHICLE AND TRAILER NOT TO EXCEED 8,600 lbs (.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged. A loose fuel filler cap message will be displayed in the instrument cluster . T ighten the gas cap until a ⬙ clicking ⬙ sound is heard.
Y our vehicle has a simple ignition key actuated test which you can use prior to going to the test station. T o check if your vehicle ’ s OBD system is ready , you must do the following: 1. 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.
Regardless of whether your vehicle ’ s OBD system is ready or not r eady , if the MIL symbol is illuminated during normal vehicle operation, you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL symbol is on with the engine running.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to see if any apply to you.
NOTE: If ANY of these apply to you then change your engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “ B ” of the ⬙ Maintenance Schedules ⬙ section of this manual.
• SAE 10W -30 engine oil is preferr ed. SAE 5W -30 engine oil is allowed during cold weather only to improve cold weather starting. 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 There ar e a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that ar e American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and have the r ecom- mended SAE viscosity grade.
Belts should be inspected for evidence of cuts, cracks, or glazing, and replaced if ther e is indication of damage which could result in belt failur e. Low generator belt tension can cause battery failure. Also check belt routing to make sur e there is no interfer - ence between the belts and other engine components.
Fuel Filter A plugged fuel filter can cause stalling, limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven or cause hard starting. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, filter replacement may be necessary . See your local dealer for service.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don ’ t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don ’ t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
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 system performance check.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
Continued operation could result in failur e of the univer- sal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the grease. This would r equire complete r eplacement of the joint assembly .
Windshield and Rear Window W ashers The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shar ed. It is located in the engine compartment and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for br oken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion pr otection in the engine cooling system. Please note that it is the owner ’ s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of pr otection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatur es occurring in the area wher e the vehicle is operated.
Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
• Do not overfill the coolant recovery bottle. • Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifr eeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks ar e present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks ar e present. NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area befor e removing the cap. Add fluid to bring the level up to the top of the “ FULL ” mark on the side of the master cylinder reservoir . Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may cause leaking in the system.
CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid, all brake seal components could be damaged causing partial or complete brake failure.
