A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your dealer to give you the number . The key code can also be obtained by the dealer from your vehicle invoice.
T o remove the ignition key on models with an automatic transmission, place the gearshift lever in P (Park), turn the ignition key to LOCK and remove the key . T o remove the ignition key on models with a manual transmission, depress and hold the key release button, turn the ignition key to LOCK and remove the key .
Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is fully inserted in the ignition switch, a chime will sound to remind you to remove the key . SENTR Y KEY IMMOBILIZER SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Sentry Key Immobilizer System (SKIS) prevents unauthorized operation of the vehicle by disabling the engine.
NOTE: • The Sentry Key Immobilizer System is not compatible with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.
consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one which has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key System serviced, bring all vehicle keys to the dealer . Customer Key Programming Y ou can program new keys to the system if you have two valid keys by doing the following: 1.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation. STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED Y our vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering wheel lock (manual transmission only).
DOORS AND DOOR LOCKS The vacuum fluor escent (VF) display located in the odometer area displays the word “door” as an indication of a door ajar or door not completely closed.
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage. Manual Door Locks Use the manual door lock plunger to lock the doors from inside the vehicle.
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.
Power Door Locks — If Equipped A door lock switch is on each front door panel. Press this switch to lock or unlock the doors. If the plunger is down when the door is closed, the door will lock. Ther efore, make sure the keys are not inside the vehicle before closing the door .
Child Protection Locks The rear doors of your vehicle are equipped with child protection locks. If you push up on the lever on the open edge of the door it cannot be opened from the inside of the vehicle. Push the lever down to disengage the child protection locks.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors or open the swing gate flip-up window from distances of 23–50 feet (7–15 meters) using a transmitter . Y ou don’t have to point the transmitter at the vehicle to activate the system.
2. Continue to hold the 9 Lock 9 button, wait at least 4 but no longer than 10 seconds, then press the “Rear Release” button. 3. Release both buttons.
NOTE: The transmitter can be programmed to unlatch the flip-up window immediately upon activation of the “Rear Release” button (without pressing and holding) (within 23–50 feet (7–15 meters) of the vehicle) by per- forming the following procedur e: 1.
T o Program Additional T ransmitters NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec- tronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console, the transmitters may also be programmed through the EVIC display . For additional information, refer to “Overhead Console — If Equipped” in Section 3.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interference that may cause undes- ired operation. If your Remote Keyless Entry fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1. W eak batteries in transmitter .
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED This system monitors the vehicle doors, swing gate, swing gate flip-up window , and ignition for unautho- rized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. The horn, headlights, and tail lights will sound/flash r epeatedly for three minutes.
NOTE: On vehicles equipped with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), there will not be a door lock cylinder on the front passenger door , rear doors, or rear swing gate. Therefor e, you will be unable to disarm the system with a manual unlock of the passenger or rear doors.
T o open the swing gate, pull the gate handle to its first detent to open just the flip-up window . Pull the handle to its second detent (all the way) to open both the flip-up window and swing gate. W ARNING! T o avoid injury stand back when opening. Glass will automatically rise.
NOTE: If vehicle is equipped with the optional Elec- tronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the overhead console, all warnings including “door”, “GA TE”, “GLASS”, and “LOW ASH” will only be displayed in the EVIC display (not in the instrument cluster).
If the trip/reset button is pressed while the VF warnings are being displayed, the VF display will revert back to only displaying the odometer/trip odometer mileage. NOTE: Close swing gate before flip-up window . CAUTION! Do not press on rear wiper blade when closing swing gate, as damage to the blade will result.
Auto Down Feature — If Equipped The driver’s and passenger’s front window switches have an auto down featur e. Pr ess the window switch past the detent, release, and the window will go down auto- matically . T o open the window part way , press the window switch part way and release it when you want the window to stop.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision which includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own street. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
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.” THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 37 2 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y.
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 injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdo- men. Always wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as possible and keep it snug.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
W ARNING! Position the shoulder belt height adjusters so that the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder . Failure to adjust the safety belt properly could reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
When T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode Anytime a child safety seat is installed in a passenger front or outboard rear seating position (if equipped). Children 12 years old and under should be properly restrained in the rear seat whenever possible. How T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode 1.
W ARNING! • After a vehicle collision, the driver and front passenger outboard seat belt system must be checked by a qualified technician to verify that the “automatic locking retractor” feature for child seats is still functioning properly . In addition, all seat belts should be checked for proper function.
Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) can be reacti- vated by repeating this procedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltA- lert) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unfastened.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) — Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel.
This vehicle may also be equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with window bags, they are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to provide improved protection for the driver and front passenger . W indow bags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions.
Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sure that you are using it pr operly . 2. All occupants should use their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Remote Acceleration Sensors • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag.
modify the rate of inflation based on the occupant size provided by the Occupant Classification Module. The ORC will not detect roll over , or rear impacts. The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or RUN positions.
not be able to pr operly approximate occupant size. Furthermore, the occupant size may appear to incr ease or decrease due to objects hanging on the seat, other passengers pushing on the seat, or objects lodged underneath the seat. If there is a rapid change in temperature or humidity , the OCS may not be able to properly approximate occupant size.
For almost all sizes of properly seated adults, the passen- ger frontal 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.
upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50–70 milliseconds. This is about half of the time it takes to blink your eyes. The bags then quickly deflate while helping to restrain the driver and front passenger .
pressur e increase due to applied lap belt tension does not cause a small occupant to be classified as a larger occupant. • The Bladder Mat and Pressure Sensor are located beneath the seat cushion foam. The pressur e sensor sends a signal to the OCM.
• The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and front passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar to friction rope burns or those you might get sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor .
Also, the fuel system will shut off immediately upon airbag deployment (gasoline models only). The ignition switch will need to be cycled (i.e. turn the ignition key from the ON position to the LOCK position) after ap- proximately 5 seconds in order to restart the vehicle.
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 an airbag system.
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 can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. • Children who weigh more than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forward-facing in the vehicle.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. The manufacturer recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it.
• When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle. Do not leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seat backs and cause serious personal injury .
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system.
In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
the seat, removing slack in the straps according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions. W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again.
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.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not required for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running for a extended period.
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should feel the air directed against the windshield. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns.

W ARNING! • Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly adjusted and you could be injured. Adjust any seat only while the vehicle is parked.
Head Restraints Head restraints can reduce the risk of whiplash injury in the event of impact from the rear . Adjustable head restraints should be adjusted so that the upper edge is as high as practical. The head restraints have a locking button that must be pushed inward to lower the head restraint.
Power Seat Adjuster — If Equipped W ARNING! Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
This seat also has a manual recline lever located just to the rear of the power seat switch. Pull up on the lever to recline the seat. 65/35 Split Folding Rear Seat T o provide additional storage area, each rear seat can be folded flat to allow for extended cargo space and still maintain some rear seating room.
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. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
NOTE: When lifting up on the release handle, the seatback will release easier if you do not pull forward on the seatback; only lift up on the release handle until the seatback disengages, then fold the seat forward. When the seatback is folded completely forward, the head restraints should be flush against the seat cushion.
Heated Seats — If Equipped The heated seat switch is located on the outboard side of the front seats. Pressing this switch to its desired setting (HI or LO) will activate the respective heating element for the heated seat. Once the heated seat switch is activated, depressing it a second time will de-activate it.
Then, reach under the hood and slide the safety latch to the right and lift the hood. T o prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to close it. Lower the hood until it is open approximately 12 inches (30 cm) and then push hood closed. This should secure both latches.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death.
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury .
If the engine has been flooded, it may start to r un, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly .
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-115 volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0°F (-18°C) are expected to last for several days. TRANSMISSION SHIFTING 5-Speed Manual Overdrive T ransmission Follow the shift pattern on the gearshift knob.
CAUTION! T o drive as safely as possible and to prolong the life of your manual transmission, follow these tips: • Before shifting from a forward gear into reverse, or from reverse to a forward gear , stop vehicle com- pletely . Otherwise, accelerated transmission wear may result.
• The manual transmission may be equipped with a “Reverse Blocker” to prevent inadvertent shifts from 5th gear to Reverse. If you experience difficulty shift- ing into “Reverse”, make sure that you are not inad- vertently moving the shift lever toward 5th gear when shifting into “Reverse.
Automatic T ransmission Shifting from D (Drive) to P (Park) or R (Reverse) (or from P or R to D) should be done only after the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake when moving the shift lever between these gears.
Gear Ranges P (Park) Supplements the parking brake by locking the transmis- sion. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P (Park) while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, and then place the selector in P (Park) position.
• When shifting into P (Park), depress the button on the shift lever and firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops. • Look at the shift indicator window on the console to ensure it is in the P (Park) position.
Overdrive (O/D) For most city and highway driving. The transmission contains an electronically controlled Overdrive, and will automatically shift from D (Drive) to O/D (Overdrive) if the following conditions are present: • The transmission selector is in D (Drive).
NOTE: If the vehicle is started in cold outside tempera- tures, shifts into Overdrive may be delayed. Normal Overdrive and shifting operation will resume when the temperature of the transmission reaches the appropriate temperature. Refer to the “Note” under “T orque Con- verter Clutch” later in this section.
Over T emperature Mode The transmission electronics constantly monitor the transmission oil temperature. If the transmission gets too hot, the transmission will change the way it shifts to help control the condition. This may r esult in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in D (Drive) position.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION Command-T rac T Operating Information/Precautions The Command-T rac t transfer case provides 4 mode position s-2( r ear) wheel drive high range, 4-wheel drive high range, neutral, and 4-wheel drive low range.
CAUTION! • Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or rear wheels are spinning. The Command- T rac transfer case is not equipped with a synchro- nizer and therefore the front and rear driveshaft speeds must be equal for the shift to take place.
W ARNING! • Because 4-wheel drive provides improved trac- tion, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road con- ditions permit. • Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the Neutral (N) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
4L 4-Wheel-Drive Low Range - Low speed 4 wheel drive. Locks the front and rear driveshafts together . Forces the front and r ear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only .
NOTE: Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle completely stopped, however difficulty may oc- cur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur .
The P AR T TIME indicator light, located on the instru- ment cluster , illuminates when the transfer case is shifted to the 4 P AR T TIME position. The FULL TIME indicator light, located on the instru- ment cluster , illuminates when the transfer case is shifted to the 4 FULL TIME position.
Proper operation of 4-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type, and cir cumference on each wheel. Any difference will adversely affect shifting and can cause damage to the transfer case. W ARNING! • Because 4-wheel drive provides improved trac- tion, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
Shift Positions For additional information on the appropriate use of each transfer case mode position see the information below: 2WD Rear Wheel Drive High Range - Normal street and highway driving. Dry hard surfaced roads. 4 P AR T TIME Part T ime 4–Wheel Drive High Range - Locks the transfer case inter-axle differential.
Shifting Procedure 2WD to 4 P AR T TIME or 4 P AR T TIME to 2WD Shifting between 2WD and 4 P ART TIME can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is in motion, shifts can be made up to 55 mph (88 km/h). W ith the vehicle in motion two momentary releases of the accelerator pedal may be r equired after shifting.
rearwar d into 4LO. In 4 FULL TIME, there is a neutral stop to prevent shifting into N (Neutral) by accident. NOTE: Pausing in transfer case N (Neutral) in vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission may require shutting the engine OFF to avoid gear clash while completing the shift.
W ARNING! On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differen- tial, never run the engine with one rear wheel of f the ground. The vehicle may drive through the rear wheel remaining on the ground and cause you to lose control of your vehicle. P ARKING BRAKE T o set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible.
Before leaving the vehicle parked on a hill, you must make sure the parking brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the P (Park) position. Make certain the transfer case is in gear . Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The Anti-Lock Brake System is designed to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system operates with a separate com- puter to modulate hydraulic pressur e to prevent wheel lock-up and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
W ARNING! Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
CAUTION! The Anti-Lock Brake System is subject to possible detrimental effects of electronic interference caused by improperly installed aftermarket radios or tele- phones. NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard.
In Snow , Mud and Sand In heavy snow , when pulling a load, or for additional control at slower speeds, shift the transmission to a low gear and shift the transfer case to 4L or 4 LO if necessary . Don’t shift to a lower gear than necessary to maintain headway .
Remember , never drive diagonally across a hill-always drive straight up or down. If the wheels start to slip as you approach the crest of a hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain headway by turning the front wheels sharply left and right.
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water , or similar dirty conditions, have brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.
• European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standard have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter 9 P 9 is absent from this tire size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T(Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is 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.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: Some vehicles have a “T ire and Loading Infor- mation” placard located on the driver’s side “B” pillar .
4) the cold tire inflation pressures for the front, rear and spare tires. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and pas- sengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure 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.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 247 5 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, 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 tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tread life r esulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
The tire pressur e should be checked and adjusted at least once every month. Check more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tire pressur es vary with temperature changes. Inflation pressur es specified on the label ar e always “Cold Inflation Pressure.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial tires in sets of four . Never combine them with other types of tires.
T read Wear Indicators These indicators are narrow strips 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) thick and are found in the tread pattern grooves. When the tread pattern is worn down to these treadwear indicators, the tires should be replaced. Overloading your vehicle, long trips in very hot weather , and driving on bad roads may result in greater wear .
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unap- proved tires and wheels may change suspension dimen- sions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
T ires may also cause the vehicle to pull left or right. Alignment will not correct this problem. See your dealer for proper diagnosis of the problem. Improper alignment will not normally cause vehicle vibration, which may be a result of tire and wheel out-of-balance.
The following chart indicates the TPM system pressure levels. A threshold is the level at which the TPM system provides you with an indication. High Pressur e Threshold 44 psi (303 kPa ) Placard Pressure (Cold) 33 psi (227 kPa) Low Pressur e Threshold 25 psi (172 kPa) NOTE: A TPM system does not replace normal tire maintenance.

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 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 has been shut of f, 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.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Road conditions as well as your kind of driving affect the interval at which your oil should be changed.
Engine Oil Selection For best performance and maximum protection for all engines under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer recommends engine oils that are API Cer- tified and meet the requirements of DaimlerChrysler Material Standard MS-6395.
Materials Added T o Engine Oils The manufacturer strongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and it’s performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives.
Special tools are requir ed to properly measure tension and to restore belt tension to factory specifications. Also, check belt routing to make sure there is no interference between the belts and other engine components. Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire properly to assure engine perfor- mance and emission control.
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.
Engine Timing Belt — 2.4L Engine Replace the engine timing belt at the intervals described in the appropriate maintenance schedule. Ignition Wiring System — 2.4L Engine Replace the ignition cables at the intervals described in the appropriate maintenance schedule.
Maintenance-Free Battery Y our vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-fr ee battery . Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance requir ed. W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
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.
Driveline And Steering Component Lubrication U-joints (cardan joints) are sealed and do not requir e lubrication. Prop shafts, yokes, ball joints and other driveline and steering components may be pr ovided with grease fittings for lubrication.
remove frost or ice from the windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc. Windshield Washers The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the rear window washer is shared.
or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized technician inspect the complete ex- haust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam- aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger compartment.
If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals. Engine Coolant Disposal Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal.
Adding Coolant When adding coolant, a minimum solution of 50% rec- ommended ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in water should be used. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below -37°F (-38°C) are anticipated. Use only high purity water such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/antifreeze solution.
Coolant Level The coolant r ecovery bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is ad- equate. The coolant level must be at or above the COLD FULL level on the bottle.
moisture from rain, snow , or high humidity accumulat- ing on the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot water to enter the radia- tor . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
Insure nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immedi- ately if there is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure.
Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present. NOTE: Often fluids such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to ease the assembly of hoses to couplings. There- fore, oil wetness at the hose-coupling area is not neces- sarily an indication of leakage.
Brake Master Cylinder The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing under hood services, or immediately if the “Brake W arning Light” shows system failure. Be sure to clean the top of the master cylinder area befor e removing the cap.
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from for eign matter . Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid as seal damage will result.
T o check the automatic transmission fluid level properly , the following procedur e must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. The engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Fully apply parking brake. 4.
Hydraulic Clutch Fluid — Manual T ransmission The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance free system. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, the system must be replaced.
The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the fill hole (A) when the vehicle is in a level position. Adding Fluid Only at filler hole until fluid runs out of the hole, when the vehicle is in a level position. Drain First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C).
Front/Rear Axle Fluid The front axle has a threaded “fill plug” on the cover plate, and a threaded “drain plug” on the bottom side of the carrier . Fluid Level Check Lubricant should be 1/2 9 (1 cm) below the oil fill hole. Adding Fluid Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above.
The most common causes are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation. • Stone and gravel impact. • Insects, tree sap and tar . • Salt in the air near sea-coast localities. • Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants. W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly .
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner . • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and protective coating have your vehicle r epaired as soon as possible.
Leather Seat Care & Cleaning Leather is best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather surface and should be removed pr omptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and Mopar t T otal Clean.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water . Do not remove the belts from the vehicle to wash them.
