A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The dealer that sold you your new vehicle has the key code numbers for your vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to order duplicate keys from your dealer .
NOTE: If you try to remove the key befor e you place the lever in P ARK, the key may become trapped temporarily in the ignition cylinder . If this occurs, rotate the key to the right slightly , then remove the key as described.
KEY -IN-IGNITION REMINDER Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the ignition, sounds a signal to remind you to remove the key . NOTE: W ith the driver’s door open, and the key in the ignition, both the power door locks and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) will not function.
NOTE: • The Sentry Key t Immobilizer System is not compat- ible with remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.
NOTE: When having the Sentry Key t Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to the dealer . Sentry Key T Programming If you have two valid sentry keys, you can program new sentry keys to the system by performing the following procedur e: 1.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the systems memory . This will pr event the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be repro- grammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to the dealer at the time of service to be repr ogrammed.
NOTE: If you turned the wheel to the right to engage the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.
W ARNING! When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal inju- ries and death.
AUTOMA TIC DOOR LOCKS — IF EQUIPPED The doors will lock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if all of the following conditions are met: 1. The Auto Lock feature is enabled. 2. The transmission is in gear . 3. All doors are closed. 4. The throttle is pressed.
3. The transmission is in NEUTRAL or P ARK. 4. The driver door is opened. 5. The doors were not previously unlocked. 6. The vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h).
W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a 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), roll down window and open the door with the outside door handle.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y (SEDAN) This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors and liftgate or activate the panic alarm from distances a minimum of 66 feet (20 meters) using a hand held radio transmitter . The transmitter need not be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
under “Personal Settings” in the EVIC section of this manual. On non EVIC – equipped vehicles perform the following steps: The system can be programmed to unlock all the doors upon the first UNLOCK button press by using the following procedur e: 1.
Information Center (EVIC)” section of this manual. On non EVIC – equipped vehicles perform the following steps: 1. Press the LOCK button for four to ten seconds. 2. While the LOCK button is pressed (after four seconds), press the P ANIC button. Release both buttons.
2. While the UNLOCK button is pressed, (after four seconds) press the LOCK button. Release both buttons. 3. T est the flash lamps with LOCK feature while outside of the vehicle, by pressing the LOCK button on the keyfob with the ignition in the LOCK position, and the key removed.
4. T urn the ignition to the ON position Do not start the engine . 5. Press and hold the UNLOCK button on the keyfob. 6. After holding the UNLOCK button for four seconds, also press the P ANIC button within six seconds. 7. When a single chime is heard release both buttons.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If your Remote Lock Control fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions.
2. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery , clean it with rubbing alcohol. 3. T o assemble the transmitter case, snap the two halves together .
TO UNLOCK THE DOORS: Press and release the UNLOCK button on the keyfob once to unlock only the driver’s door or twice to unlock all the doors and liftgate. When the UNLOCK button is pressed, the illuminated entry will initiate, and the parking lights will flash on twice.
5. If the desired programming was not achieved or to reactivate this feature, repeat the above steps. TO LOCK THE DOORS: Press and release the LOCK button on the transmitter to lock all doors. The turn signal lights will flash and the horn will chirp once to acknowledge the lock signal.
The panic alarm will stay on for thr ee minutes unless you turn it off by pressing the P ANIC button a second time or if the vehicle speed is 5 mph (8 km/h) or greater . NOTE: When you turn off the panic alarm by pr essing the P ANIC button a second time, you may have to be closer to the vehicle due to the radio frequency noises of the system.
Up to eight transmitters can be pr ogrammed to your vehicle. T o obtain additional transmitters, contact your authorized dealer . T o program a transmitter (within 23–50 ft/7–15 m of the vehicle), perform the following procedur e: 1.
TRANSMITTER BA TTER Y SERVICE NOTE: Perchlorate Material – special handling may ap- ply , See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/per chlorate.” The recommended r eplacement battery is the Panasonic t CR2032 or equivalent. 1. Pry the transmitter halves apart with a dime or similar object.
NOTE: If the keyfob is equipped with a screw , reinstall and tighten the screw until snug. SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED The system monitors the doors, liftgate, and ignition switch for unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for about 18 minutes.
T o disarm the system: Unlock a front door using the Keyless Entry T ransmitter . Starting the vehicle with a valid Sentry key will disarm the system. A valid key is one that is programmed to that particular vehicle. A valid key will disarm the system, an invalid key will trigger the alarm.
T o open the unlocked liftgate, squeeze the liftgate release touch pad located on the backside of the liftgate handle and pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. However , because the gas pressur e drops with tempera- ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the liftgate in cold weather . DECK LID (CONVERTIBLE) Gas props support the deck lid in the open position.
EMERGENCY SEA T BACK RELEASE (SEDAN) W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the liftgate area with the rear shelf panel in position 1 (T op) or position 2 (Middle), either by climbing into the liftgate from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle.
NOTE: Make sure that the elastic loop is around the emergency release handle at all times. If the handle is pulled downward, entirely through the elastic loop, the handle will not return to its original position and the seat back may not operate properly .
POWER WINDOWS The power window switches ar e located on the instru- ment panel above the radio. The top left switch controls the left front window and the top right switch controls the right front window . The lower left switch controls the left rear window and the lower right switch controls the right rear window .
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle, with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unat- tended children, can become entrapped by the win- dows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
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.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled 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 seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
W ARNING! T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one an- other in an accident, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
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 worn under your arm is very danger- ous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury .
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
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.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
W ARNING! The rear center lap/shoulder belt is equipped with a lockout feature to ensure that the rear seat back is in the fully upright and locked position when occupied.
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 release the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
ENHANCED SEA T BEL T REMINDER SYSTEM (BEL T ALERT T ) If the driver’s or front passenger’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 t ) will alert the driver or front passenger to buckle their seat belt.
DRIVER AND FRONT P ASSENGER SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) AIRBAG This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and fr ont passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. W ARNING! • Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee impact blocker panels in any way . • Do not mount any accessories to the knee blocker panel such as alarm lights, stereos, citizens band radios etc.
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 inflat- ing.
empty or is occupied by someone that is classified in the “child 9 category . This could be a child, a teenager , or even a small adult. Here are some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years old and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
The Head/Thorax airbag system (if equipped) consists of the following: • AIRBAG Readiness Light (shar ed with the front airbag system) • Front Seat— side mounted Head/Thorax Airbags — if equip.
9 Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light 9 in this section). If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the AIRBAG warning light either momentarily or continuously . A single chime will sound if the light comes on again after initial start up.
• The P AD indictor light should not be illu- minated when an adult passenger is prop- erly seated in the front passenger seat. In this case, the airbag is ready to be inflated if a collision requiring an airbag occurs.

passenger airbag should be turned off. It also deter- mines the rate of airbag inflation during a collision. • Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM.
• 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 t .
NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, front passenger seat belt retractor assembly and Occupant Classification Sys- tem, replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
W ARNING! Do not attempt to modify any part of your advanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modifications are made.
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance fr ee, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
addition to crash investigations initiated by DaimlerChrysler , such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those associ- ated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
• Airbag disable lamp status (if equipped) • 9 T ime 9 of airbag deployment (in terms of ignition cycles and vehicle mileage) • Airbag deployment level (if applicable) • Impact acceleration an.
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.
weight limit in the rearward-facing direction than infant carriers do, so they can be used rearward-facing by children who weigh more than 9 kg (20 lbs) but are less than one year old. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a front passenger airbag.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
If the seat belt has a switchable retractor , please refer to Automatic-Locking Retractor (ALR) in this section. • In the rear seat, you may have trouble 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.
Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) Y our vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor- age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren. The LA TCH system provides for the installation of the child restraint without using the vehicle seat belt.
Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products.
rearwar d-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap with a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the strap. In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS (CONVERTIBLE) Some of the most important safety featur es in your vehicle are the restraint systems. These include: • Front and rear seat belts for all passengers • Front airbags for both the driver and front passenger • Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the fr ont seat belts.
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 that 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.
W ARNING! A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt.
W ARNING! A belt that is worn under your arm is very dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
LAP/SHOULDER SEA T BEL T UNTWISTING PROCEDURE Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point.
ENHANCED SEA T BEL T REMINDER SYSTEM (BEL T ALERT T ) If the driver’s or front passenger’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 t ) will alert the driver or front passenger to buckle their seat belt.
DRIVER AND FRONT P ASSENGER SUPPLEMENT AL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and fr ont passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
Head/Thorax airbags (if equipped) ar e located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. W ARNING! • Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee blocker panel in any way .
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 inflat- ing.

• Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM. • The Head/Thorax Airbag and Supplemental Re- straint Systems ar e designed to activate only in certain side collisions.
• Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar . • At no time should any supplemental r estraint system (SRS) component or SRS related component or fas- tener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are 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 if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
W ARNING! • Do not place or hang any items such as add-on video players on the right front passenger seat back. The additional weight may cause the Occu- pant Classification System to be unable to cor- rectly classify the right front occupant. This could allow the passenger frontal airbag to inflate when it is not desired.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to five seconds of specific vehicle data param- eters (see list below) in an event data r ecorder prior to.
custodial entity upon request. General data that does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US government and various states.
• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressur e monitoring system status CHILD RESTRAINT Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces requir e that small childr en ride in pr oper r estraint systems.
• Safety experts recommend that children ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and 9 convertible 9 child seats.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing mor e than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back; they should use a Belt Positioning Booster Seat.
Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it. • The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits.
• If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the latch plate around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a differ ent seating position.
Child restraints systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorage have been available for some time. In fact, many child restraint manufacturers will provide add-on tether strap kits for some of their older products.
rearwar d-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap with a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the strap. In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor position 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 requir ed for the engine in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 mi (500 km).
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling controls to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed. W ARNING! If you are required to drive with the deck lid/liftgate open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the climate control blower switch is set at high speed.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tread wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tr ead. Inspect tr ead and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness, and tires (includ- ing spare) for proper pressur e.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE Before starting the engine fully apply the parking brake, press the clutch pedal to the floor and shift the gear selector lever in NEUTRAL.
IF THE ENGINE F AILS TO ST ART If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “NORMAL ST ARTING” procedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 15 seconds.
The following chart should be used as a guide in deter- mining the amount of engine idle time requir ed to sufficiently cool down the turbocharger befor e shut down, depending upon the type of driving and the amount of cargo.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the gear selector lever out of P ARK, or NEUTRAL 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 REVERSE. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
feature is inoperable. The engine can be started and stopped but the key cannot be removed until you obtain service. FOUR-SPEED AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE The electronically controlled transaxle provides a precise shift schedule. The transaxle electronics are self calibrat- ing; ther efore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
GEAR RANGES FOR THE FOUR-SPEED AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE DO NOT race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL positions into another gear range. P ARK P ARK supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range.
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission gear selector lever into the P ARK position: • When shifting the gear selector lever into P ARK, depress the button on the gear selector lever knob and firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops.
When frequent transaxle shifting occurs while using the DRIVE/OVERDRIVE range, such as when operating the vehicle under heavy loading conditions (in hilly terrain, traveling into strong head winds, or while towing trail- ers), use the [3] range. [3] DRIVE This range eliminates shifts into OVERDRIVE.
AUTOSTICK Operation The AUT OSTICK position is just below the OVERDRIVE position and is identified by the wor d “AUTOSTICK”. When you place the gear selector lever in the AUTOSTICK position, it can be moved from side to side. Moving the lever to the left (-) triggers a downshift and to the right (+) an upshift.
• While in the AUTOSTICK mode, Speed Control will only function in third or fourth gear . Downshifting out of third gear will turn off the speed control. • If the system detects powertrain overheating, the transmission will revert to the automatic shift mode and r emain in that mode until the powertrain cools of f.
Fully depress the clutch pedal before you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depress the accelera- tor pedal. Use each gear in numerical order - do not skip a gear . Be sure the gear selector lever is in FIRST gear , (not THIRD), when starting from a standing position.
2.4 LITER TURBO — IF EQUIPPED The neutral position of the gear selector lever is located between THIRD and FOURTH gear . This is the position the gear selector lever will return to automatically when neutral is selected.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE — RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS T o use your manual transaxle for optimal fuel economy , it should be upshifted as listed in T able 1. T able 1 - Manual T ransaxle Normal Acceleration And Cruise Shift Speeds In mph (km/h) Engine Mode 1t o2 2t o3 3t o4 4t o5 2.
T o maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, shift down to SECOND or FIRST gear when descending a steep grade. When turning a corner , or driving up a steep grade, downshift early so that the engine will not be overbur - dened.
NOTE: The parking brake lever will not release unless the lever is pulled up slightly past its applied position. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gea.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) — IF EQUIPPED The ABS pr ovides incr eased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up.
The ABS telltale light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System. The light will come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is r equired.
• A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop. These are all normal characteristics of ABS. W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment.
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
The system is always in the “ON” mode unless: • The TCS OFF switch has been used to turn the system off; • There is a Anti-Lock Brake System malfunction; • There is a T raction Control System malfunction; • The system has been automatically deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to overheated brake temperatures.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall pr eceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tire sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger Car tire size based on U.S. design standards ( ....blank.... ( = Passenger Car tire based on European 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 ca.
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 the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and Tire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tire inflation pressure 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 loadi.
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) {(since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs (295 kg)}. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
320 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 pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under-inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pressure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining pr oper inflation. Radial tires may look properly inflated even when they are under-inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineered to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be repaired (or replaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
original equipped tir e on the front or r ear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same tir e, replace (or repair) the original tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
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 reduce vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains are not recom- mended.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED • The T ire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold placard pressur e. • The tire pressur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C).
driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. − For example, your vehicle may have a recom- mended cold (parked for more than three hours) placard pressure of 33 psi (227 kPa).
NOTE: • TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • TPMS should not be used as a tire pressur e gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The TPM Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pressure is low in one or more of the four active r oad tires.
2. If you install the compact spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressur e below the low-pressure warning limit, upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the TPM T elltale Light will turn ON due to the low tire.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS — GASOLINE ENGINES 2.4L AND 2.4L ST ANDARD TURBO ENGINES 2.4L standard engines ar e designed to meet all emission regulations and pr ovide excel- lent fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded “r egular” gasolines having an octane rating of 87.
Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline or E85 Ethanol blends are not the responsibility of the manufacturer . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Metha- nol.
• The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law . Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance, damage the emission control system. • An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat.
the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly . Until repair ed, drive with all side windows fully open. • Keep the liftgate closed when driving your vehicle to prevent carbon monoxide and other poisonous ex- haust gases from entering the vehicle.
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 gas cap could let impurities into the fuel system. • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light to turn on.
NOTE: • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is tightened properly . The Malfunction Indicator Light in the in- strument cluster may turn on if the gas cap is not secured properly . Make sure that the gas cap is tight- ened each time the vehicle is refueled.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer carefully re- view this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front and rear axles evenly . Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GA WR. W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR.
W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing system works by applying lever- age through spring (load) bars. They ar e typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s).
The following chart pr ovides the industry standar d for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition. Refer to the T railer T owing W eights (Maximum T railer W eight Ratings) chart for the Max.
TRAILER TOWING WEIGHTS (MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT RA TINGS) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. TRAILER TOWING WEIGHTS Engine/T ransmission Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Max. T ongue Wt.
TRAILER AND TONGUE WEIGHT Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the fr ont of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • The weight of the driver and all passengers.
W ARNING! • Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.
4. T ongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requirement may limit the ability to always achieve the 10% to 15% range of tongue weight as a percentage of total trailer weight). T owing Requirements — T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire.
• T railer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg). CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity .
T owing Requirements — T railer Lights & W iring Whenever you pull a trailer , regardless of the trailer size, stop lights and turn signals on the trailer are required for motoring safety . The T railer T ow Package may include a four- or seven- pin wiring harness.
TOWING TIPS Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away from heavy traffic. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The OVERDRIVE/DRIVE range can be selected when towing. However , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the [3] range should be selected.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing. T owing T ips — Electronic Speed Control (If Equipped) • Don’t use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads. • When using the speed contr ol, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until you can get back to cruising speed.
RECREA TIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) T owing This V ehicle Behind Another V ehicle (Flat towing with all four wheels on the ground) CAUTION! Recreational towing on vehicle’s equipped with au- tomatic transaxle’s is not recommended. NOTE: If the vehicle requires towing make sure all four wheels are off the ground.

JACK LOCA TION The jack and jack-handle are stowed behind the right rear side trim panel in the cargo area. Do not attempt to raise this vehicle using a bumper jack. SP ARE TIRE STOW AGE The compact spar e tir e is stowed under the rear of the vehicle by means of a hook/basket mechanism.
Spare T ire Removal Lift up the cover and fit the jack-handle over the drive nut. Rotate the nut to the left until you can r emove the swivel hook from the stowage basket. Swing the basket down to remove the compact spare tire. CAUTION! The hook is designed for use with the jack handle only .
JACKING INSTRUCTIONS W ARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: • Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
W ARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: • Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack. • Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack. • Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
NOTE: If equipped with a center cap that covers the wheel nuts, pry off the cap using the small end of the lug wrench. T o reinstall the cap, make sure it is properly lined up before pushing it on to the wheel. 2. Loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
4. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the right, using the swivel wrench. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tir e. Minimum tire lift provides maximum stability .
8. Remove the wheel blocks and lower the jack until it is free. Stow the lug wrench, and jack in their designated location. Secure all parts using the means provided. W ARNING! A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the ve- hicle.
W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic trans- axle 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! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other . If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water .
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet, mud, loose sand, etc.
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 some- one. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck.
All T ransaxles CAUTION! If the vehicle being towed requires steering, the ignition switch must be in the ACC position, not in the LOCK positions. Do not attempt to use sling type equipment when towing. When securing vehicle to flat bed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components.

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.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged. A gASCAP message will be dis- played in the instr ument cluster . T ighten the gas cap until a 9 clicking 9 sound is heard.
Y our vehicle has a simple ignition key-actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. T o check if your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready , you must do the following: 1. Insert your ignition key into the ignition switch. 2. T urn the ignition to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine.
serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running. REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine Mopar t parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and r epairs is highly recommended to en- sure the designed performance.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides the maintenance items for which there ar e fixed maintenance intervals, there are other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level gr ound, will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the r eading is at the MIN mark will r esult in a MAX reading on these engines.
whichever comes first, and follow schedule “B—All Engines” of the 9 Maintenance Schedules 9 section of this manual. If none of these apply to you, and your vehicle is equipped with a Non–T urb.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) — 2.4L and 2.4L T urbo Engines SAE 5W -30 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine.
Engine Oil Filter Selection All of this manufacturers engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider- ably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
CA T AL YTIC CONVERTER The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact anything that can burn.
Check ventilation hose for indication of damage or plugging deposits. Replace if necessary . FUEL FIL TER A plugged fuel filter can cause hard starting or limit the speed at which a vehicle can be driven. Should an excessive amount of dirt accumulate in the fuel tank, frequent filter replacement may be necessary .
MAINTENANCE-FREE BA TTER Y Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic main- tenance requir ed. CAUTION! When servicing the battery , always reinstall the bat- tery thermowrap. The thermowrap provides battery heat protection and will extend overall battery life.
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.
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.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the proper indicated level.

checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water . W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable.
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 The system should be drained, flushed, and r efilled at the intervals shown in the “Maintenance Schedules” in Sec- tion 8 of this manual. If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to five Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. 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.
The radiator normally r emains completely full, so there is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for coolant freeze point or replacing coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
• Make sure that the radiator and coolant recovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean, also. • Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation.
FUEL SYSTEM CONNECTIONS Electronic Fuel Injection high pr essure fuel systems are designed with tubes and special connects, connections and clamps which have unique material characteristics to provide adequate sealing and resist attack by deterio- rated gasoline.
brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exces- sive swelling suggest deterioration of the r ubber . Particu- lar attention should be made to examining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present.
Master Cylinder - Brake Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately if the brake system warning light indicates system fail- ure. Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when per- forming underhood services. Clean the top of the master cylinder ar ea before removing the cap.
W ARNING! Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling point than the recommended MOP AR t DOT 3 prod- uct or a brake fluid that is unidentified as to FMVSS specification may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE The automatic transaxle and differ ential assembly are contained within a single housing. The fluid level in the automatic transaxle should be checked whenever the vehicle is serviced. Operation with an improper fluid level will greatly reduce the life of the transaxle and the fluid.
If the fluid level is low , add sufficient fluid through the filler (dipstick) tube to bring it to the proper level. Do not overfill. CAUTION! • Using a transmission fluid other than the manu- facturer’s recommended fluid may cause deterio- ration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder .
If the transaxle is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed. Special Additives Automatic T ransmission Fluid (A TF) is an engineered product and its performance may be impair ed by supple- mental additives. Therefor e, do not add any fluid addi- tives to the transaxle.
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.
• If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use Mopar t Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove. • Use Mopar t Cleaner W ax to remove r oad film, stains and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar touch up paint on scratches as soon as possible.
Cleaning Leather Upholstery Mopar t T otal Clean is specifically r ecommended for leather upholstery . Y our leather upholstery can be best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage the leather upholstery and should be removed promptly with a damp cloth.
• For grease stains, apply Mopar t Multi-Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to remove soap residue. • Do not use any solvents or protectants on Y es Essen- tials t products.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic. 1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION! A void high pressure car washes, as they can damage the top material. Also, increased water pressure may force water past the weather strips. General Cleaning Careful vacuuming of the top before washing is helpful in removing dust and other foreign particles.
Cloth T op Additional Cleaning Procedure For additional cleaning assistance in removing stubborn stains, apply Mopar Convertible Cloth T op Cleaner (part number 05012245AA) to the complete stain, extending 2 inches (50 mm) beyond the stain. W ith a soft bristle brush, scrub in all directions over the stain.
