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 from your dealer .
NOTE: The power window switches, radio, power sunroof, and power outlets will remain active for up to 45 seconds after the ignition switch has been turned off. Opening either front 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 electronics. 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 .
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 from acciden- tally locking your keys in the vehicle. Removing the key or closing the door will allow the locks to operate.
Auto Unlock The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if: 1. The Auto Unlock feature is enabled, 2. the transmission was in gear and the vehicle speed returned to 0 mph (0 km/h), 3. the transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK, 4.
T o activate the system, open the rear door and move the child lock control, located near the door’s rear 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.
NOTE: If the key is in the ignition switch, then all buttons on that transmitter will be disabled. The buttons on the remaining transmitters will work.
T o lock the doors and liftgate: Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter to lock all doors and liftgate. The horn will chirp once to acknowledge the signal.
T o Open/Close Power Liftgate — If Equipped Press the LIFTGA TE button twice within five seconds to open/close the power liftgate. The liftgate will beep for 2 seconds and then open/close. If the button is pushed while the liftgate is being power closed, the liftgate will reverse to the full open position.
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 interfer ence r eceived, including interference that may cause undesired op- eration.
2. Remove and replace the battery . A void touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. T o reassemble the transmitter case, snap the two halves together .
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 rearmed, 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.
be used to open the liftgate. The emergency liftgate latch release can be accessed through a snap-in cover located on the liftgate trim panel. • If the liftgate is locked and is not equipped with a .
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 poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle.
The window controls will operate only when the ignition switch is in the ON or ACCESSORY position. The window lock switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window controls on the passenger doors.
belts, your seat belts or the LA TCH feature (refer to the Child Restraint section in this manual), can be used to hold infant and child restraint systems. NOTE: The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under 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.
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 rear 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 across 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 red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release 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 upward 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 are equipped with pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from 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.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or RUN position.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
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.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. 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.
Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with seat belts, and pretensioners, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee blockers to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . Left and right side curtain airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint. Refer to the section on Child Restraint. Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child restraint to make sure that you are using it properly .
“The Front Airbag System” consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module (with integrated impact sen- sor) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Seat Be.
The airbag control module sends a message to the instrument cluster to turn on the AIRBAG light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned ON, then turns the light off.
the crash side of the vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and inflates (in about the same time it takes to blink your eyes).
• Airbag Control Module • Interconnecting W iring If An Airbag Deployment Occurs The airbag systems are designed to deploy when the airbag control modules detect a moderate-to-severe col- lision, to help restrain the driver and front passenger , and then immediately deflate.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags and seat belt pretensioners replaced by an autho- rized dealer as soon as possible.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
The tether anchors are located on the rear surface of the seat. Child restraint systems designed to be compatible with the vehicles LA TCH System are now available. LA TCH child restraints make installation into the vehicle simple and convenient. When using the LA TCH System, always follow the child restraint manufactures installation instructions.
T ether Anchors There are tether strap anchorages behind all second row seating positions and the driver’s side third row seating position. The tether anchors are located in the rear surface of the seat.
Infants and Children There are differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the right seat for your child.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing more than 18 kg (40 lbs), but who are 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.
that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. • The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instructions that come with the restraint.
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 rearward and downward into the seat.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur . The r ecommended viscosity and quality grades are shown in Section 7 of this manual.
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 tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect tread and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness, and tires (includ- ing spare) for proper pressure.

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.
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. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
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 from being removed unless the shift lever is in P ARK. It also prevents shifting out of P ARK unless the key is in the ACCESSORY 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 recur . If the transmission cannot be reset, dealer service is requir ed.
AUTOSTICK Autostick is a driver-interactive transmission that offers manual gear shifting capability to provide you with more 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.
The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! • Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dan- gerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever .
Anti-Lock Brake System The Anti-Lock Brake System provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up.
The ABS light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is requir ed.
• and a slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop. These are all normal characteristics of ABS. W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment.
CAUTION! Prolong operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and should be avoided when possible.
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 .
NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standards ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on European design standards L T = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.

passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb. (1400–750 (5 x 150) = 650 lb.) 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
232 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 tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, af fect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
check tire pressur e. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are underinflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped.
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressur e is very important.
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 spare 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 af fects 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 .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves and will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! • 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 sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a r esult of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will reduce 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 pressure levels of 25 psi [1.72 bars] (172 kPa) or less detected in one or more tires. Inspect all tir es for proper inflation pressure, once the proper tire .
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 interfer ence r eceived, including interference that may cause undesired 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 rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform dif ferent steering, driving, and braking functions.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and provide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to 89 or higher . The manufacturer recommends 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 required 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.
MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformu- lated gasolines. Sulfur In Gasoline Y our vehicle may have been designed to meet California low emission standards when using cleaner burning California reformulated gasoline with low sulfur . This vehicle may be sold nationwide.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law . Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance, damage the emission control system, and could result in loss of warranty coverage.
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed ar ea, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for an extended period.
CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened.
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 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 2538 lbs (1 151 kg) 2076 lbs (942 .
Perform maintenance services as prescribed in the main- tenance schedules manual. When your vehicle is used for trailer towing, never exceed the gross axle weight rating (GA WR) by the addition of: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
• The automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed if you REGULARL Y tow a trailer for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. See Schedule “B” in section 8 of this manual for transmission fluid change intervals. NOTE: • Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing.
A load equalizing hitch is r ecommended for loaded trailer weights above 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for weights above 2,000 lbs (907 kg). 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 .

3.5L ENGINE 280 MAINT AINING YOUR VEHICLE I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboar d 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 requirement 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 remain 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 before starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings.
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 are 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).
Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils provided that the recommended oil quality requir ements are met and the recommended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
Also check belt routing to make sure there is no interfer- ence between the belts and other engine components. Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor- mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage.
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not require maintenance.
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 Pro- 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 proper indicated level.
Continued operation could result in failure of the univer- sal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the grease. This would require complete replacement of the joint assembly .
Windshield and Rear Window W ashers The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared. It is located in the engine compartment and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals.
damaged, have a competent mechanic inspect the com- plete exhaust system and adjacent body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
Coolant Checks Coolant protection checks should be made every 12 months (prior to the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc.
CAUTION! • Mixing of coolants other than the specified HOA T coolant may result in decreased corrosion protec- tion and engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty . If a non-HOA T coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the speci- fied coolant as soon as possible.
Coolant Pressure Cap The coolant pr essure cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of coolant, and to insure that coolant will return to the coolant bottle from the overflow tank. The coolant pressur e cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
community . T o prevent ingestion by animals or children 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 .
• Maintain coolant concentration at 50% ethylene glycol antifreeze (minimum) in water for proper corrosion protection of your engine which contains aluminum components. • Make sure that the radiator and coolant bottle hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
Brakes In order to assure brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically . Suggested service intervals can be found in the Mainte- nance Schedules. W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
NOTE: Inspection of brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced and at every engine oil change. Inspect hydraulic brake hoses for surface cracking, scuffing, or worn spots.
Use only manufacturers recommended brake fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
Care should be taken in installing quick connect fittings to insure they are properly installed and fully connected. See your authorized dealer for service. Automatic T ransmission The automatic transmission and differential assembly are contained within a single housing.
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level The fluid level in the automatic transmission should be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced. Operation with an improper fluid level will greatly reduce the life of the transmission and of the fluid. T o properly check the automatic transmission fluid level, the following procedur e must be used: 1.
b. If the fluid is cold, the fluid level should be between the lower two holes in the area marked “COLD”. If the fluid level indicates low , add sufficient fluid to bring to the proper level. CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transmission can cause serious damage.
All Wheel Drive (A WD) — If Equipped Under normal operating conditions, periodic fluid level checks and lubricant changes for the Power T ransfer Unit, Overrunning Clutch and Rear Carrier , are not requir ed.
Fluid Changes The fluid should be changed as follows: Normal Usage No Service Required Severe Usage Power T ransfer Unit 15,000 miles (24 000 km) Overrunning Clutch 22,500 miles (36 000 km) Rear Carrier 22,500 miles (36 000 km) Severe Usage is defined as: 1.
The following maintenance recommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit fr om the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle. What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings from 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 undercarriage 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 Fabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with any commer cial household-type glass cleaner . Never use an abrasive type cleaner . Use caution when cleaning the inside rear window equipped with electric defrosters or the right rear quarter window equipped with the radio antenna.
Cleaning The Center Console Cup Holders Removal Grab the center of the rubber portion of the cupholder and lift upward. Cleaning Soak the rubber cupholder liner in a mixture of medium hot tap water and one teaspoon of mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for approximately one hour .
