ignition cylinder to warn you that this safety feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
SENTR Y KEY — IF EQUIPPED W ith this system, an electronically coded ignition key sends a signal to the vehicle electronics. If the electr onics recognizes the signal, the vehicle will start and continue to run. If the system does not r ecognize the signal the vehicle will start and run for 2 seconds then shut of f.
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. At the time of purchase, the original owner is pr ovided with a four digit PIN number .
General Information The Sentry Key system complies with FCC rules part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. this device may not cause harmful interference 2.
Power Door Locks There is a door lock switch on each fr ont door trim panel located to the front of the door handle. Pr ess this switch to lock or unlock the four doors. If you press the door lock switch while the keys ar e in the ignition switch, and the driver ’ s door is open, the doors will not lock.
Central Locking — If Equipped All vehicle doors are locked with the first turn of the key to the LOCK position. The double activation feature requir es you to turn the key in the cylinder lock two times within five seconds to UNLOCK all vehicle doors at once.
3. Depress the power door lock switch to lock the doors. 4. A single chime will indicate the completion of the programming. Automatic Unlock on Exit — Only A vailable if Automatic Door Locks are Enabled This feature will unlock all the doors when the driver ’ s door is opened and the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in the vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged. NOTE: For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the lock plunger up (unlocked position), lower the window and open the door with the outside door handle.

Panic Alarm The panic mode unlocks the driver ’ s door , turns on the interior lights, flashes the headlights, and sounds the horn for about 3 minutes or until the alarm is turned off.
2. This device must accept any interference that may be received, including interfer ence that may cause undes- ired operation If your Remote Lock Control fails to operate fr om a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1. W eak batteries in transmitter .
VEHICLE THEFT ALARM The system monitors the doors, trunk, and ignition for unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for up to 18 minutes. For the first three minutes the horn will sound and the headlights and interior lights will flash.
TRUNK LOCK AND RELEASE Use the key or the Remote Keyless Entry T ransmitter to open the trunk fr om outside the vehicle. From inside the car the trunk lid can be r eleased by depressing the T runk Release Button located on the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel.
T runk Internal Emergency Release NOTE: As a security measure, a T runk Internal Emer - gency Release lever is built into the trunk latching mechanism. In the event of an individual being locked inside the trunk, the trunk can be simply opened by pulling on the glow-in-the-dark handle attached to the trunk latching mechanism.
The window controls on the driver ’ s door operate all windows. The driver ’ s window switch has an Auto Down feature. Press the window switch past the detent, r elease, and the window will go down automatically . T o open the window part way , pull the window switch part way and release it when you want the window to stop.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
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.
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 driver and front passenger seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Push the lever above the webbing upward to r elease the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that serves you best.
Enhanced Driver Seat Belt 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.
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 seat belt remains unbuckled. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy .
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver ’ s airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front 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 protec- tive covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Children that ar e not big enough to properly wear the vehicle seat belt (see section on “ Child Restraint ” ) should be secured in the r ear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child r estraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Airbag System Components The front airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Column .
The airbag control module also turns on the AIRBAG light in the instrument panel for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition is first turned on, then turns the light off. If it detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the light either momentarily or continuously .
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and right front passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
Side Airbag System The airbag control module determines if a side collision is severe enough to r equire the airbag to inflate. The contr ol module receives the level of collision severity fr om the side impact sensors. The airbag control module will not detect rollover or r ear impacts.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready for your pr otec- tion in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorize.
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 9 kg (20 lbs). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and “ convertible ” child seats.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who ar e 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 seat back, should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
share a common lower anchorage. If you ar e installing LA TCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent r ear seat- ing positions, you can use the LA TCH anchors or the vehicle ’ s seat belt for the outboard position, but you must use the vehicle ’ s seat belt at the center position.
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some r ear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
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 fr om the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
3. Attach the tether strap hook (A) of the child restraint to the anchor (B) and remove slack in the tether strap according to the child r estraint manufacturer ’ s instruc- tions. W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Defrosters Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield. Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside the V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury . CAUTION! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
Extreme Cold Weather (below -20 ° Fo r- 2 9 ° C) T o insure r eliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater and battery blanket heater package (available from your dealer) is recommended.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. At cooler ambient temperatures, the idle speed for the 2.7L engine may incr ease during extended idles for improved heater performance.
W ARNING! Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is run- ning. Before exiting a vehicle you should shift the transmission into Park, remove the key from the ignition, and apply the park brake.
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.
NOTE: Even if the transaxle can be reset, it is r ecom- mended that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could r ecur . If the transaxle cannot be reset, dealer service is r equired.
“ D ” Overdrive This range should be used for most city and highway driving. It provides smoothest up shifts and down shifts and best fuel economy .
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will come on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. Before leaving the vehicle, make sur e that the parking brake is set.
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 or the gear selector . Don ’ t leave the keys in the ignition.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) — If Equipped The ABS gives 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.
POWER STEERING The power assisted steering system of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for some reason the hydraulic pr essure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.
• The system has been automatically deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to over heated brake temperatures. NOTE: Extended heavy use of T raction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the traction control light located in the instr ument cluster .
NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire 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 tir e can carry . H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tir e 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 T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressur e for passenger cars is listed on either the face of the driver ’ s door or the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire ’ s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loa.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
162 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
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 ” .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don ’ t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
W ARNING! 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.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Alignment And Balance Poor suspension alignment may result in: • Fast tire wear . • Uneven tire wear , such as feathering and one-sided wear .
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 Rotation Recommendations T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving and braking functions.
AUTOSTICK — IF EQUIPPED Autostick is a driver-interactive transaxle that of fers manual gear shifting capability to provide you with mor e control. Autostick allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
Autostick General Information • The transaxle will automatically upshift from first to second gear and from second to thir d gear when engine speed reaches about 6300 RPM. • Downshifts from thir d to second gear above 66 mph (106 km/h) and from second to first gear above 37 mph (60 km/h) will be ignored.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as har d starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experience these symptoms, try another brand of “ regular ” gasoline be- fore considering service for the vehicle.
MMT in Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting fr om the use of such fuels or additives are not the responsibility of the manufactur er . NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “ top off ” the fuel tank after filling.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
• The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • Remember that everything put in or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. T owing Requirements • The maximum trailer load is 1,000 lbs (450 kg). • The maximum frontal ar ea of the trailer cannot exceed 20 square feet (1.
NOTE: Check the automatic transaxle fluid level before towing. Fluid discoloration, or a burnt odor , shows the need for a transmission fluid and filter change. NOTE: For vehicles equipped with Autostick. By using the Autostick modes, and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be avoided.
W ARNING! Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury . Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap (gas cap) or filling the tank. Do not use E-85 as a cleaning agent and never use it near an open flame.
This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). W e only recommend API Certified en- gine oils that meet the requir e- ments of DaimlerChrysler ’ s Mate- rial Standard MS-9214. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS-9214.

JUMP-ST ARTING PROCEDURES IF BA TTER Y IS LOW W ARNING! • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle 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.
W ARNING! Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and person injury could result. 5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the jump start attach- ment of the vehicle with the discharged battery .
W ARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: 1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent; 2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion; 3. Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle.
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES Acceleration Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip- pery surfaces may cause the front wheels to pull errati- cally to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs when there is a dif ference in the surface traction under the fr ont (driving) wheels, particularly with high output engines.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE If your vehicle is equipped with T raction Control, turn the system off befor e attempting to “ rock ” the vehicle. If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow , it can often be moved by a rocking motion. T urn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area ar ound the front wheels.

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.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failur e or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to decide if any apply to you.
If none of these apply to you, then change your engine oil at every interval shown on schedule ⬙ A ⬙ of the ⬙ Mainte- nance Schedules ⬙ section of this manual. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months whichever comes first.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) SAE 5W -20 and SAE 5W -30 engine oils are recom- mended for all operating temperatures. These engine oils are designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle.
Materials Added T o Engine Oils The manufacturer str ongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered pr oduct and it ’ s performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives.
replaced if ther e is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug. Check the specifications section for the proper type of spark plug for use in your vehicle. Engine Air Cleaner Filter Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “ A ” .
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
Crankcase Emission Control System Proper operation of this system depends on fr eedom from sticking or plugging due to deposits. As vehicle mileage builds up, the Positive Crankshaft V entilation (PCV) valve and passages may accumulate deposits. If a valve is not working properly , replace it with a new valve.
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. W ash hands after handling. 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.
through the condenser as r equired. Fabric fr ont fascia protectors may r educe air flow to the condenser , reducing air conditioning performance. W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system.
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 manufacturer recommended power steering fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
underhood services, the hood latch, r elease mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. Hood Latch When performing other under hood services, the hood latch release mechanism and safety catch should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated.
Smooth White Body Lubricant - Such as Mopar Spray White Lube: • Hood hinge springs and links • Lock cylinders • Parking brake mechanism • T runk latches • Ash tray Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild non abrasive cleaner .
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals. Used automotive antifreeze is a r ecyclable commodity .
Adding Coolant When adding coolant, or refilling the system, a minimum solution of 50% recommended HOA T ethylene glycol engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water should be used. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below ⫺ 34 ° F( ⫺ 37 ° C) are anticipated.
Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community . Do not store ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground.
• Check coolant freeze point in the system. • If frequent coolant additions ar e requir ed, or if the level in the bottle does not drop when the engine cools, the cooling system should be pressur e tested for leaks.
W ARNING! Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear , and possible brake damage. Y ou may not have your full braking capacity in an emergency .
Master Cylinder The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing under hood services, or immediately if the brake system warning lamp shows system failure. Be sure to clean the top of the master cylinder ar ea before removing the cap.
Do not allow petroleum base fluid to contaminate the brake fluid as seal damage will result! Fuel System Hoses Electronic Fuel Injection high pr essure fuel systems are designed with hoses and clamps which have unique material characteristics to provide adequate sealing and resist attack by deteriorated gasoline.
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level The fluid level in the automatic transaxle should be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced. Operation with an improper fluid level will gr eatly reduce the life of the transaxle and of the fluid.
• Police, taxi, limousine, commercial type operation, or trailer towing where the vehicle is driven regularly for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. NOTE: Refer to Section 8 of this manual for mainte- nance schedules. If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the r esult of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings fr om your vehicle. The most common causes are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation. • Stone and gravel impact. • Insects, tree sap and tar .
• Use Mopar touch up paint on scratches or chips as soon as possible. Y our dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and pr otective coating have your vehicle repair ed as soon as possible.
Y ou should not increase the gloss level, especially on top of the instrument panel top surface. Higher gloss levels will increase the r eflectivity in the windshield that could decrease visibility under bright light driving conditions. W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner . Use caution when cleaning inside rear windows equipped with electric defrosters. Do not use scrapers or other sharp instr u- ments which may scratch the elements. Instrument Panel Cover The instrument panel cover has a low glar e surface which minimizes reflections in the windshield.
