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 outlets, and removable console (if equipped), will r emain active for up to 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening a vehicle fr ont door will cancel this feature. 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.
NOTE: • The front courtesy over head console, door courtesy and liftgate lights do not turn on if the dimmer control is in the interior lights ON position (extreme top position). • The illuminated entry system will not operate if the dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extr eme downward position).
W ARNING! • For personal security and safety in the event of an accident, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as well as when you park and leave the vehicle. • When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle.
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. This prevents you fr om acciden- tally locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
Auto Unlock On Exit— If Equipped The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if: 1. The Auto Door Locks feature is enabled and the Auto Unlock On Exit feature is enabled, 2. the transmission was in gear and the vehicle speed returned to 0 mph (0 km/h), 3.

described previously , when closing the liftgate. If some- thing has triggered the system in your absence, the horn will sound three times when you disarm the system. Check the vehicle for tampering. NOTE: • The driver’s door and liftgate key cylinders cannot arm or disarm the system.
SLIDING SIDE DOOR The sliding door may be opened from the inside or the outside. Pull out on the outside handle to open the sliding door from the outside. T o open the sliding door from the inside, pr ess the button on the grab handle and open the door .
NOTE: The driver’s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open. This feature operates only when the sliding door is fully closed prior to opening the fuel door .
The power sliding door may also be opened by pressing the switches on the overhead console or the switch located on the trim panel just in front of the sliding door . T o keep your door operating properly , observe the fol- lowing guidelines. • Always open the door smoothly .
If the inside or outside door handles are used while the power sliding door is activated, the power sliding door feature will be canceled and the door must be opened or closed manually .
Child Protection Door Lock T o provide a safer envir onment for small children riding in the rear seats, the sliding doors ar e equipped with a child protection door lock system.
The power sliding door will operate from the switches located on the trim panel just in front of the power sliding door , regar dless of the child lock lever position.
If the liftgate is locked and is not equipped with a powered liftgate, pr essing the button on the remote keyless entry transmitter will result in the liftgate becom- ing unlocked for 30 seconds allowing you to manually access the liftgate area. NOTE: On vehicles without power locks, the liftgate can only be opened using the vehicle keys.
When the remote keyless entry transmitter button is pressed and the “Lamp Flash” featur e is enabled, the tail lights will flash to signal that the liftgate is opening or closing. W ARNING! During power operation, personal injury or cargo damage may occur .
• The power liftgate must be in the full open or close positions for any of the buttons to operate. If the liftgate is not in the full open or close positions it must be opened or closed manually . • If the liftgate release button is activated while the power liftgate is closing, the liftgate will reverse to the full open position.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. However , because the gas pressur e drops with tempera- ture, it may be necessary to assist the pr ops when opening the liftgate in cold weather . SEA T STORAGE BIN SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Always close the storage bin covers when your vehicle is unattended.
NOTE: In the event of an individual being locked inside the storage bin, the storage bin cover can be opened from inside of the bin by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark strap attached to the storage bin cover latching mechanism.
WINDOWS Power V ent Windows Switches on the driver’s door trim panel let the driver operate the two vent windows from the driver’s seat. Power Windows Y ou can control either fr ont window using switches on the driver’s door trim panel. There is a single switch on the passenger’s door trim panel which operates the passenger door window .

If your vehicle is equipped with the Occupant Classifi- cation System (OCS) there will be a Passenger Airbag Disabled (P AD) Indicator Light located on the center of the instrument panel. 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 .
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All the outboard seats in your vehicle ar e equipped with Lap/Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
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 can 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 45 2.
W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
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 can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seats and the second r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt anchorage can be adjusted upward or downward to help position the belt away fr om your neck. The upper anchorage can be adjusted upward by pushing anywhere on the anchorage.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 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 upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate. 4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it clears the folded webbing. Center Lap Belts The center seating positions have a lap belt only .
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too loose or too high is dangerous. • A belt worn too loose can allow you to slip down and under the belt in a collision. • A belt that is too high will apply crash forces to the abdomen, not to the stronger hip bones.
chime and flash the Seat Belt W arning Light for 96 seconds or until the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is buckled. The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will be reacti- vated if the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt r emains unbuckled. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancies.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) — Airbags 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.
The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size. Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to “Occupant Classification System” in this section).
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.
If your vehicle is equipped, the window bag on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered in moderate to sever e side collisions. But even in collisions where the airbags inflate, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly .
Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate.
The Airbag System consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • W indow Bags above Side W indows (If Eq.
How The Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to requir e the airbags to inflate. Based on the level of collision severity , the front control module determines the proper rate of inflation.
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG warning light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
about 30 milliseconds (about one quarter of the time it takes to blink your eyes) with enough force to injur e you if you are not belted and seated pr operly , or if items are positioned in the ar ea where the window bag inflates. This especially applies to children.
affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat, check to be sur e it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat. If there is a rapid change in temperatur e or humidity , the OCS may not be able to properly appr oximate occupant size.
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 Passenger Airbag Disabled (P AD) Indicator Light — If Equipped indicates to the driver and passenger when the airbag is turned OFF in the presence of a pr operly seated occupant. When the P AD indicator light is illuminated, the airbag is OFF .
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents, or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an acci- dent.
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy the airbags when the ORC and impact sensors detect a moderate-to- severe collision, to help r estrain the vehicle passengers, and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags, front seat belt buckle pretension- ers and driver inflatable knee blocker cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, front seat belt buckle pretensioners and driver inflatable knee blocker replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
W ARNING! • Y ou need proper knee impact protection in a collision. Do not mount or locate any aftermarket equipment on or behind the knee bolsters. • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has airbags.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and ⬙ convertible ⬙ child seats.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child can not sit with knees bent over the vehicles seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
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.
• In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle end of the belt several times to shorten it.
When using the tether anchorages in the outboard seat- ing positions, ensure that the strap is r outed over the top of the seatback and under the head restraint between the head restraint posts.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach. If the buckled seat belt interfer es with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it.
In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether anchorages. Then tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint r earward and downwar d into the seat.
infant carrier in a vehicle without rear seats. In an accident, serious injury or death may occur from the deploying passenger air bag. This vehicle is equipped with a child restraint tether anchor located on the floor , behind the front passenger seat.
F ACING TO THE REAR IN A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH THE REAR SEA T DELETE FEA TURE (Com- mercial V ehicles Only). When a convertible seat is properly installed forwar d facing, the vehicle seat should be adjusted to the rear most position.
3. Follow the child r estraint manufacturer’s directions for proper use of connecting the child r estraint to the extended tether strap. 4. If necessary , raise the passenger seat head restraint to allow the tether strap to be routed under the head restraint.
6. Using the hook attached to the child restraint tether strap, attach the child restraint tether strap to the metal ring on the vehicle tether anchor . 7. Following the child seat manufacturer’s instructions, tighten the child restraint tether strap.
While cruising, brief full-thr ottle acceleration, within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good br eak-in. W ide open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant.
W ARNING! If you are required to drive with the deck lid/liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect tr ead and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness, and tires (includ- ing spare) for pr oper pressur e.

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 trans- mission 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.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 volt electrical cord could cause electrocution. 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.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Reset Mode - Electronic T ransmission The transmission is monitored electr onically for abnor- mal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the transmission automatically shifts into sec- ond gear . The transmission remains in second gear despite the forward gear selected.
“R” Reverse Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. “N” Neutral Engine may be started in this range. “D” Overdrive For most city and highway driving, it provides smoothest upshifts and downshifts and best fuel economy .
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied.
added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on a uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
by increased pedal travel during application, gr eater pedal force r equired to slow or stop, and potential activation of the Brake W arning Lamp. Anti-Lock Brake System — If Equipped The Anti-Lock Brake System pr ovides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions.
When the vehicle is driven over approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system performing its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly .
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.
Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short period of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and does not in any way damage the steering system.
The system is always in the “stand by” mode unless, • The T raction Control Switch has been used to turn the system OFF • There is a T raction Contr ol System malfunction • The system has be.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corr esponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.

4. The resulting figur e equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 331 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.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure”.
loading may be requir ed for high speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
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 r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
CAUTION! The TPMS system has been optimized for the origi- nal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS system pres- sures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy when using high quality regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87.
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.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap).
NOTE: • T ighten the fuel filler cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the fuel filler cap is properly tightened. If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, GASCAP will be displayed in the instrument cluster odometer .
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 seats are r emoved for carrying cargo, 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 2140 lbs 1470 lbs Load (Including .

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.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. b. The MIL will not flash at all and will r emain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine.
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. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off or befor e starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings.
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. • Day or night temperatures ar e below 32°F (0°C). • Stop and Go driving. • Extensive engine idling.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only r ecommends API Certified engine oils. Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures.
Disposing of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can pr esent a problem to the environment.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire pr operly to assure engine perfor - mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage. The entire set should be replaced if ther e is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug, malfunctioning spark plugs can damage the cata- lytic converter .
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assur e proper catalyst operation and pr event possible catalyst damage. CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition.
In unusual situations involving grossly malfunctioning engine operation, a scorching odor may indicate sever e and abnormal catalyst overheating. If this occurs, the vehicle should be stopped, the engine shut off and the vehicle allowed to cool.
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 immediately 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 hydrofluor ocar- 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.
Engine Coolant Checks Check the 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.
do not store ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician 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 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.
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. Brakes In order to assur e brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically .
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.
Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may cause leaking in the system. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the requir e- ments described on the brake fluid reservoir . W ith disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear .
Fuel System Hoses Electronic Fuel Injection high pr essure fuel systems ar e designed with hoses which have unique material charac- teristics to provide adequate sealing and r esist attack by deteriorated gasoline. Use only the manufacturers specified hoses in any fuel system servicing.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turers recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturers recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
5. Remove the dipstick and determine if the fluid is hot or warm. Hot fluid is approximately 180°F (82°C), which is the normal operating temperature after the vehicle has been driven at least 15 miles (24 km). The fluid cannot be comfortably held between the finger tips.
Severe Usage is defined as: • Police, taxi, limousine, commercial type operation, or trailer towing where the vehicle is driven r egularly for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. NOTE: Refer to Section 8 of this manual for Mainte- nance Schedules.
The following maintenance recommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corr osion resistance built into your vehicle. What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the r esult of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings fr om 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. Special Care • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage at least once a month.
• If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar touch up paint on scratches as soon as possible. Y our dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Interior Care Use Mopar T otal Clean to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
Cleaning High Gloss Front Door B-pillar Appliques When cleaning the front door B-pillar appliques, car e must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic. 1. Remove all dirt with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water . Do not remove the belts fr om the car to wash them.
Cleaning Soak the drawer , with the drawer front facing up, in a mixture of medium hot tap water and one teaspoon of mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for approximately one hour . After one hour pull the drawer from the water and dip it back into the water about six times.
