together to minimize the buffeting. If the buf feting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunr oof opening to minimize the buffeting. OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems.
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! • 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.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is near the seatback of the front seats and next to your arm in the r ear seats. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click ” . W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt acr oss your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you ’ ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 ° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upwar d over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Center Lap Belts The center seating positions have a lap belt only . T o fasten the lap belt, slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click ” . T o lengthen the lap belt, tilt the latch plate and pull. T o remove slack, pull the loose end of the webbing.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the fr ont airbag con- trol module (see Fr ont Airbag Section).
2. T urn the ignition switch to the RUN position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn off. 3. W ithin 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the RUN position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver ’ s seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled.
should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not requir ed, remove the extender and stow it. W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions.
The front airbags have a multi stage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size. Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to “ Occupant Classification System ” in this section).
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
If your vehicle is equipped, the window bag on the crash side of the vehicle is triggered in moderate to sever e side collisions. But even in collisions where the airbags inflate, you need the seat belts to keep you in the right position for the airbags to protect you pr operly .
2. All occupants should wear their lap and shoulder belts properly . 3. The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the front airbags room to inflate. 4. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against the door , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door .
The Airbag System consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • W indow Bags above Side W indows (If Eq.
proper rate of inflation. The fr ont airbag inflators are designed to provide dif ferent rates of airbag inflation. • The ORC may modify the rate of inflation based on the occupant size provided by the Occupant Classification Module. • The ORC will not detect side, roll over , or rear impacts.
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC and impact sensors detects a collision requiring the air - bags, it signals the inflator units.
• When the ORC and the side impact sensors (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the Driver Inflatable Knee Blocker , it signals the inflator unit. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the Driver Inflatable Knee Blocker .
removal or loosening/tightening of seat attachment bolts), take the vehicle to your authorized dealer . Only manufacturer appr oved seat accessories may be used. If there is a fault pr esent in the system, the AIRBAG warning light will illuminate indicating that you should take the vehicle to an authorized dealer .
Remember , if the P AD indicator light is illuminated the passenger front airbag will not inflate. For almost all properly installed child r estraints, the “ P AD Indicator Light ” will be illuminated indicating that the front pas- senger airbag is turned off and will not inflate.
• The Belt T ension Sensor (BTS) — If Equipped is located at the outboard passenger lap belt anchor . The BTS generates a signal based on outboard lap belt tension.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle. • Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar .
However , if you haven ’ t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
• The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second interval. • The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. DaimlerChrysler Corporation Integrated Child Seat — If Equipped Operating instructions for this seat ar e included with the seat.
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.
infant carriers do, so they can be used rearwar d-facing by children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child ’ s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. If this doesn ’ t help, move the child to the center rear seating position and use the lap belt.
that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, befor e you buy it. • The restraint must be appr opriate for your child ’ s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits. • Carefully follow the instr uctions that come with the restraint.
Don ’ t leave it loose in the vehicle. In a sudden stop or collision, it could strike the occupants or seatbacks and cause serious personal injury . Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) E.
over the top of the seatback. For bench seats with split seatbacks, route the tether between the seatbacks. When using the tether anchorages in the center position on 3rd r ow fold-in-floor seating, ensure that the strap is routed over the top of the seatback and under the head restraint between the head r estraint posts.
Fleet vehicles equipped with the LA TCH system on the 3-passenger bench seat must have the seat adjusted to the full rear position on the tracks when the LA TCH system is used. Also, when using the LA TCH system, be sure the seatback is two clicks rear of its full upright position.
W ARNING! Fleet V ehicles Only: Do not install child restraint systems equipped with LA TCH attachments at all three seating positions in the seat at one time. The LA TCH anchorages in this seat are designed to restrain no more than two child restraints at a time in the event of a collision.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet could be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
Restraining Infants and Small Children with Seat Delete Feature (Commercial V ehicles Only) There ar e differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
T ether Installation For Commercial V ehicles W ith Rear Seat Delete T o secure the child r estraint upper tether strap to the vehicle, follow the instructions shown: 1. Locate the child r estraint tether anchor on the floor just behind the front passenger seat.
4. If necessary , raise the passenger seat head restraint to allow the tether strap to be routed under the head r estraint. 5. Route the tether strap beneath the head r estraint between the two head restraint posts. Ensur e that the child restraint tether strap is center ed between the two head restraint posts.
W ARNING! The vehicle tether anchor is designed to be used with a child restraint only . It should not be used for any other purpose. Before use inspect the tether anchor strap for nicks, abrasions, discoloration, and loose threads.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO) follow the safety tips below .
Airbag Light The light should come on and remain on for 6 to 8 seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “ P ” or “ N ” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Reset Mode - Electronic T ransmission The transmission is monitored electr onically for abnor- mal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the transmission automatically shifts into sec- ond gear . The transmission remains in second gear despite the forward gear selected.
“ R ” Reverse Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. “ N ” Neutral Engine may be started in this range. “ D ” Overdrive For most city and highway driving, it provides smoothest upshifts and downshifts and best fuel economy .
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch on, the brake light in the instrument cluster will turn on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is applied.
added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on a uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
by increased pedal travel during application, gr eater pedal force r equired to slow or stop, and potential activation of the Brake W arning Lamp. Anti-Lock Brake System — If Equipped The Anti-Lock Brake System pr ovides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions.
When the vehicle is driven over approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system performing its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly .
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
Upon initial start-up in cold weather , the power steering pump may make noise for a short period of time. This is due to the cold, thick fluid in the steering system. This noise should be considered normal, and does not in any way damage the steering system.
The system is always in the “ stand by ” mode unless, • The T raction Control Switch has been used to turn the system OFF • There is a T raction Contr ol System malfunction • The system has .
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “ P ” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load 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.

4. The r esulting 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. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 327 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap – if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “ cold tire inflation pr essure ” .
loading may be requir ed for high speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle ’ s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, result- ing in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
CAUTION! The TPMS system has been optimized for the origi- nal equipment tires and wheels. TPMS system pres- sures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle ’ s emissions control system.
ignition key or start the engine. This means that your vehicle ’ s OBD system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station. b. The MIL will not flash at all and will 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 befor e starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings.
Change Engine Oil Road conditions and your kind of driving affects the interval at which your oil should be changed. Check the following list to see if any apply to you. • Day or night temperatures ar e below 32 ° F( 0 ° C). • Stop and Go driving.
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). The manufacturer only r ecommends API Certified engine oils. Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) — 2.
Synthetic Engine Oils There ar e a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that ar e American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and have the r ecom- mended SAE viscosity grade.
Belts should be inspected for evidence of cuts, cracks, or glazing, and replaced if ther e is indication of damage which could result in belt failur e. If adjustment is re- quired, the belts must be adjusted accor ding to the specifications and procedur es described in the Service Manual.
W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air cleaner removed.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. 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.
Maintenance-Free Battery The top of the MAINTENANCE-FREE battery is perma- nently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed. W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you.
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 posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
the black arrow on the bottom of the filter frame with the direction of airflow (away fr om the blower motor and towards the center of the car). Refer to the “ Maintenance Schedules ” section of this manual for the recommended air conditioning filter replacement intervals.
Steering Shaft Seal The steering shaft seal, at the point where the shaft passes through the bulkhead, is lubricated when it is installed. If the seal becomes noisy when the steering shaft is turned, it should be lubricated with a multi-purpose grease.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar 威 Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder .
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, .
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. The fan is temperature controlled and can start at any time the ignition switch is in the ON position.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush and Refill At the intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedules, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled. If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Engine Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “ DO NOT OPEN HOT ” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (a few kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the corr ect type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory coolant performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
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 wouldn ’ t have your full braking capacity in an emergency .
replaced immediately! Eventual deterioration of the hose can take place resulting in a possibility of a burst failur e. W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
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 or moisture.
The dipstick is located just behind the radiator , lower right side. Selection of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor - mance. Use only manufacturers r ecommended transmis- sion fluid, refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
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 gr eatly 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.
CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transmission can cause serious damage. T o prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is reseated properly .
Front And Rear Wheel Bearings Front and r ear wheel bearings are permanently sealed. No regular maintenance is r equired for these compo- nents. Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
