A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The authorized 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 fr om your authorized dealer . Ask your authorized dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place.
Ignition Key Removal Place the shift lever in P ARK. T urn the ignition switch to the ACC position, push the key slightly inwar d, rotate the key to the LOCK position, and remove the key .
• For vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Infor- mation Center (EVIC), the power window switches, radio, hands–free system (if equipped), and power outlets will r emain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position.
SENTR Y KEY 姞 The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System pr events unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regar dless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
NOTE: • The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System is not compat- ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security pr otection.
Sentry Key 姞 Programming Y ou can pr ogram new keys to the system if you have two valid Sentry Keys 威 by performing the following pr oce- dure: 1. Cut the additional Sentry Key 威 T ransponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tems memory . This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be repro- grammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an autho- rized dealer at the time of service to be repr ogrammed.
T o Arm The System: 1. Remove the keys from the ignition switch and get out of the vehicle. 2. Lock the door using either the power door lock switch (one door must be open) or the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (doors can be open or closed), and close all doors.
NOTE: • The driver’s door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm or disarm the system. • The system r emains armed during trunk entry . Pr ess- ing the trunk button will not disarm the system. If someone enters the vehicle through the trunk and opens any door , the alarm will sound.
The interior lights will fade to off after about 30 seconds or they will immediately fade to off once the ignition switch is turned ON. NOTE: • The illuminated entry system will not operate the interior lights if the dimmer control is in the “defeat” position (extreme downwar d position).
T o Unlock the Doors Press and release the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice to unlock both doors. The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The Illuminated Entry system (if equipped) will also turn on.
V ehicle Security Alarm activated will cause the alarm to sound. Press the UNLOCK button to deactivate the V ehicle Security Alarm System. Flash Lights with Lock The feature will cause the turn signal lights to flash when the doors ar e locked or unlocked with the RKE transmit- ter .
Illuminated Approach — If Equipped This feature activates the headlights for up to 90 seconds when the doors are unlocked with the RKE transmitter . The time for this feature is programmable on vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC).
2. Release both buttons at the same time. 3. T est the feature while outside of the vehicle, by pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter with the ignition in the LOCK position, and the key removed. 4. Repeat these steps if you want to return this feature to its previous setting.
The Panic Alarm will stay on for three 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: Y ou may need to be close to the vehicle when using the RKE transmitter to turn off the Panic Alarm due to the Radio Frequency (RF) noises emitted by the system.
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 RKE transmitter case, snap the two halves together .
REMOTE ST ARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter to start the engine conveniently from outside the vehicle while still maintaining security . The system has a targeted range up to 328 ft (100 m). NOTE: The vehicle must be equipped with an auto- matic transaxle to be equipped with Remote Start.
T o Enter Remote Start Mode Press and r elease the REMOTE ST AR T button on the RKE transmitter twice. The engine will start and the vehicle will remain in the Remote Start mode for a 15 minute cycle. NOTE: • For security , power window operation is disabled when the vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
DOOR LOCKS Manual Door Locks T o lock each door , push the door lock plunger on each door trim panel downward. T o unlock each door , pull the door lock plunger on each door trim panel upward. If the door lock plunger is down when you shut the door , the door will lock.
Power Door Locks A door lock switch is located on the driver and passenger door trim panel. Press this switch to lock or unlock the doors. Automatic Door Locks When enabled, your door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph (24 km/h).
Automatic Unlock Doors on Exit Programming The Automatic Unlock Doors on Exit feature can be enabled or disabled as follows: • For vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (.
WINDOWS Power Windows The window controls on the driver’s door trim panel operate the door windows and the rear quarter windows. There is a single window control on the passenger’s door trim panel, which operates the passenger door window .
Smart Glass Feature — Convertible only The door window will lower slightly if the window is fully up when opening the door . The window will return to its full up position after closing the door . This action allows the door to open without r esistance and prevents window and top seal damage.
T o r eactivate the window Smart Glass Feature, perform the following steps after vehicle power is restor ed. 1. Lowering all four windows to the full open position. 2. Press and hold the Power T op Switch in the Close direction. Once the Power T op becomes fully closed, all four windows will start closing.
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 one window down in certain open or partially open posi- tions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.
W ith the ignition ON, the word “deck” will display in the odometer indicating the trunk is open. The odometer display will reappear once the trunk is closed or if the trip button is pressed. W ith the key in the LOCK position or with the key out, the word “deck” will display until the tr unk is closed.
T runk Internal Emergency Release As a security measure, a T runk Internal Emergency 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.
• Supplemental front seat side mounted head airbags • Front seat belt retractors that incorporate pr etension- ers to enhance occupant protection by managing oc- cupant energy during an impact eve.
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 str eet. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers safe, too.
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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • 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. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together .
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.
2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert 姞 ) If the occupied 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 威 ) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt.
4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming. BeltAlert 威 can be reactivated by repeating this pr ocedure.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The fr ont airbags have a dual-stage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attach cup holders or any other objects on or around the door . The inflating seat airbag could drive the object into occupants, causing serious injury . • Do not drill, cut or tamper with the knee bolster in any way .
restraints or belt-positioning booster seats. Older chil- dren who do not use child r estraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during front airbag deployment could cause serious injury . Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
The first stage inflator is triggered immediately during an impact that requires airbag deployment. The timing of the second stage determines whether the output for ce is low , medium, or high. If a low output is sufficient to meet the need, the second stage is expended later in the crash event.
The ORC monitors the r eadiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST ART or ON position. These include all of the items listed above except the steering wheel and column, instrument panel, and passenger knee bolsters.
• Impact Sensors T wo sensors, located on the front body structur e, trigger airbag deployment in direct frontal impacts and aid the ORC in determining appropriate response to frontal impact events. Additional sensors in the ORC determine the level of airbag deployment and provide verification.
When the bag deploys, it opens the seam between the front and side of the seat’s trim cover . Each bag deploys independently , that is a left side impact deploys the left bag only and a right-side impact deploys only the right bag.
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag systems are designed to deploy when the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) detects a moderate- to-severe collision, to help restrain the driver and fr ont passenger , and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A fr ontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and the front passenger seat belt retractor assembly , replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. Also, have the Occupant Restraint Controller System serviced as well.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has an airbag system. • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made.
NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer , or any engine related gauges are not working, the ORC may also be disabled. The airbags may not be r eady to inflate for your protection. Promptly check the fuse block for blown fuses. For fuse location information, refer to “Fuses” under “Maintenance Procedures” in section 7 of this manual.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler LLC (r egardless of initiative), the company or its designated repr esentative will first obtain permission of the appropriate custodial en.

There are dif ferent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensur e you have the correct seat for your child. Use the restraint that is correct for your child.
who weigh 20 to 40 lbs (9 to 18 kg) and who are older than one year . These child seats are also held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “LA TCH — Child Seat Anchorage System (Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren)” in this section.
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.
• All passenger seating positions contain automatic locking r etractors. However , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary . • Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er’s directions.
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.
Remind all children in the vehicle that the seat belts ar e not toys and should not be played with, and never leave your child unattended in the vehicle. Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint.
seat cover material. Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you ar e placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchor - age, being careful to route the tether strap to pr ovide the most direct path between the anchor and the child restraint.
The seat belt must be in the Automatic Locking mode in order to enable a child restraint to be tightly installed. Refer to “Automatic Locking Mode” in this section for details. A locking clip should not be necessary once the automatic locking feature is enabled.
3. Push the tether strap and hook (B) thr ough the access port and down into the trunk. NOTE: Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path from the child seat to the anchor . 4. Open the access cover (C) on the carpet covering the back of the seat and attach the tether strap hook (D) to the anchor .
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
shown under “Engine Oil”, under “Maintenance Pr oce- dures” in section 7 of this manual. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED. A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation.
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.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside the V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the seat belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the contr ols. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belt. Make sure all occupants have securely fastened their seat belts. W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Tip Start Feature Do not press the accelerator . T urn the ignition key briefly to ST AR T position, and r elease it. The starter motor will continue to run, and it will disengage automatically when the engine is running. If the engine fails to start, the starter will disengage automatically in 10 seconds.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way . Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cor d to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d.
W ARNING! • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of or 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.
Brake/T ransaxle Interlock System This system pr events you from moving the shift lever out of P ARK and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. This system is active only while the ignition switch is in the ON position. Always press the brake pedal first, before moving the shift lever out of P ARK.
Automatic T ransaxle Ignition Interlock System This system pr events the key from being r emoved unless the shift lever is in P ARK. It also pr events shifting out of P ARK unless the key is in the ON position, and the brake pedal is applied.
Gear Ranges P ARK Supplements the parking brake by locking the transaxle. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use P ARK while vehicle is in motion. Apply parking brake when leaving vehicle in this range. When parking on a flat surface, place the shift lever into the P ARK position first, and then apply the parking brake.
NEUTRAL Engine may be started in this range. W ARNING! Do not coast in NEUTRAL and never turn off the ignition to coast down a hill. These are unsafe practices that limit your response to changing traffic or road conditions. Y ou might lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
DRIV E3—4 Speed T ransaxle This range eliminates shifts into fourth gear . The trans- axle will operate normally in first and second gear . Shifts into third gear may be delayed to provide second gear operation at higher speeds.
In the event of a momentary problem, the transaxle can be reset to regain all forward gears by performing the following steps: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Shift the shift lever into P ARK. 3. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. 4. Restart the engine.
NOTE: In Autostick 威 mode, the transaxle will only shift up or down when the driver moves the shift lever to the Right (+) or Left (-). AutoStick 威 is deactivated when the shift lever is moved from the AutoStick (+/-) position into the DRIVE position.
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 differ ence in the surface traction under the front (driving) wheels.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or cross a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will pr ovide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coordinate inspection efforts thr ough an autho- rized dealer . No chemical flushes should be used in any power steering system; only the approved lubricant may be used.
As an added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. T o apply the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull it upward until you feel resistance. T o r elease the parking brake, grasp the handle and pull it slightly while pressing the button on the end of the handle.
• If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle is moving, a chime will sound to alert the driver . The chime will sound up to 10 times or until the vehicle has returned to a stop. The Brake System W arning Light in the instrument cluster will turn on when the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is on.
W ARNING! • Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to r estore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the bulb repair ed as soon as possible.
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. This interfer - ence can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
W ARNING! • Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident. Driving with your foot rest- ing 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 .
Y ou also may experience the following when the brake system goes into Anti-lock: • The ABS motor running (it may continue to run for a short time after the stop), • The clicking sound of solenoid valves, • Brake pedal pulsations, and • A slight drop or fall away of the brake pedal at the end of the stop.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
If both the Brake System W arning Light and the Anti- Lock Brake Light remain on, the ABS and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) systems are not function- ing.
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emer gency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) This system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor- rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter- acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! (Continued) • ESP cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydroplaning.
W ARNING! In the Partial ESP mode, the engine torque reduction and stability features are desensitized. Therefore, the enhanced vehicle stability offered by ESP is unavail- able.
NOTE: • The ESP Indicator Light and the ESP/BAS W arning Light come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON. • Each time the ignition is turned ON, the ESP System will be ON even if it was turned off pr eviously . • The ESP Contr ol System will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is active.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on Eur opean 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 truck tir e 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 T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The pr oper cold tire inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tel.
NOTE: Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GA WRs) for the front and rear axles must not be exceeded. For further information on GA WRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing, refer to “V ehicle Loading” in this section.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 305 5 I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread.
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 pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressure.
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 spar e 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 repair ed (or replaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tire is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tire warning label located on the limited use spar e tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the front or r ear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck. Refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in Section 6 of this manual for additional information.
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes appr oximately 1/16 in (2 mm).
Information” placar d for the size designation of your tire. The service description and load identification will be found on the original equipment tire. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the safety , handling, and ride of your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
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) • The T ire Pr essure Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressur e based on the vehicle recommended cold placar d pressur e. • The tire pr essure will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (7 kPa) for every 12 F (7 C).
once the system receives the updated tire pressur es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 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 30 psi (207 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire car e and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The T ir e Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pressur e is low in one or more of the four active r oad tires.
NOTE: 1. The compact spare tire (if so equipped) does not have a tire pressure monitoring sensor . Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tir e.
• Three T rigger Modules (mounted in thr ee of the four wheel-wells) • V arious T ir e Pressure Monitoring System Messages, which display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) • T.
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible, and inflate all tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pressure value.
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPM sensors. 2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals. 3. Lots of snow or ice ar ound the wheels or wheel housings.
5. Once you repair or replace the original road tire, and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spare, the TPMS will update automatically .
3.5L Engine The 3.5L engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide satisfac- tory fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded gasoline hav- ing an octane range of 89. The manufac- turer recommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “Reformulated Gasoline.” Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates, and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
E-85 Usage In Non-Flex Fuel V ehicles Non-FFV vehicles are compatible with gasoline contain- ing 10% ethanol (E10). Gasoline with higher ethanol content may void the vehicle’s warranty .
It is even mor e important to look for gasolines without MMT in Canada, because MMT can be used at levels higher than those allowed in the United States. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformu- lated gasolines. Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is required to contain effective detergent additives.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can kill.
CAUTION! Only vehicles with the special E-85 fuel filler cap can operate on E-85. Along with the special E-85 fuel filler cap, your vehicle may display a badge, which also indicates it can operate on E-85.
ETHANOL FUEL (E-85) E-85 is a mixture of appr oximately 85% fuel ethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline. 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.
Selection of Engine Oil For Flexible Fuel V ehicles (E-85) and Gasoline V ehicles FFV vehicles operated on E85 requir e specially formu- lated engine oils. These special requir ements are included in MOP AR 威 engine oils, and in equivalent oils meeting Chrysler Specification MS-6395.
CAUTION! Replacing fuel system components with non-ethanol compatible components can damage your vehicle. Maintenance CAUTION! Do not use ethanol mixture greater than 85% in your vehicle. It will cause difficulty in cold starting and may affect driveability .
After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door . This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s surface. NOTE: If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and doing so will cause the malfunction indicator light to turn on. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
VEHICLE LOADING V ehicle Certification Label Y our vehicle has a certification label attached to the rear of the driver’s door . The label contains the following information: • Name of manufacture.
W ARNING! Because the front wheels steer the vehicle, it is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident.
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 review 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.
T railer Hitch Classification The following chart pr ovides the industry standard 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.
T railer T owing W eights (Maximum T railer W eight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Maximum T railer W eight Ratings Engine/T ransaxle Max. Frontal Area Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.
CAUTION! T owing a trailer with a larger than recommended frontal area could cause the engine to overheat or cause severe engine damage under extreme condi- tions. T railer and T ongue W eight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer .
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or authorized dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! • Improper towing can lead to an injury accident. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer tow- ing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and that it will not shift during travel.
4. T railer tongue weight rating for the trailer hitch utilized (This requir ement may limit the ability to always achieve 10% of trailer 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 tir e.
• T railer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (450 kg) and r equired for trailers in excess of 2,000 lbs (907 kg). CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (450 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes with adequate braking capacity .
Automatic T ransaxle The DRIVE range can be selected when towing. How- ever , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, third gear for a four -speed automatic and the fifth gear for a six-speed AutoStick 威 should be selected.
Cooling System T o r educe potential for engine and transaxle overheating, take the following actions: • City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put transaxle in neutral and increase engine idle speed. • Highway Driving Reduce speed. • Air Conditioning T urn of f temporarily .

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 transaxle contr ol systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is possibly loose or improperly installed. A “GASCAP” message will be displayed in the instrument cluster . T ighten the gas cap until a ⬙ clicking ⬙ sound is hear d.
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.
Regardless of whether your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle 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.
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.
CAUTION! Do not overfill the engine. Overfilling the engine will cause oil aeration, which can lead to loss of oil pressure and an increase in oil temperature. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) — 2.4L and 2.7L Engines SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . Y our engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
Materials Added to Engine Oils The manufactur er strongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered pr oduct and it’s performance may be impaired by supplemental additives.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter W ARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.) can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner , hoses, etc.) unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer approved A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Conditioners, Compres- sor Oil, and Refrigerants. A/C Air Filter — If Equipped Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals.
5. Disengage the two r etaining tabs that secure the filter cover to the HV AC housing and remove the cover . 6. Remove the A/C Air Filter by pulling it straight out of the housing. 7. Install the A/C Air Filter with the arrow on the filter pointing towar d the floor .
attention should also be given to hood latching compo- nents to insur e pr oper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, r elease mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
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 pr operly maintained engine exhaust system.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assure proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage. CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition.
T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transaxle is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle. • Do not idle the engine with any ignition coil connec- tors disconnected for prolonged periods.
Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle rub- ber , cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the bottle and radiator . Inspect the entire system for leaks.
CAUTION! (Continued) • This vehicle has not been designed for use with Propylene Glycol based engine coolant (anti- freeze). Use of Propylene Glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended. Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals.
NOTE: Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze) types will decrease the life of the engine coolant (antifreeze) and will requir e more fr equent coolant changes.
Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community .
Points T o Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles (kilometers) of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation. If r eplacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Re- fer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type. W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
Fluid Level Check — V ehicles with 2.4L and 2.7L Engines Use the following pr ocedure to check the automatic transaxle fluid level properly: 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. 2. Run the engine at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3. Apply the parking brake fully .
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 . Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the manufacturer will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care r equirements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• Use MOP AR 威 Cleaner W ax to remove r oad film, stains and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint. • A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish.
Wheel and Wheel T rim Care All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to pr event corrosion. T o remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOP AR 威 Wheel Cleaner or equivalent or select a nonabrasive, non-acidic cleaner .
MOP AR 威 Spot & Stain Remover if absolutely necessary . Do not use harsh cleaners or Armorall. Use MOP AR 威 T otal Clean to clean vinyl upholstery Cleaning Leather Upholstery MOP AR 威 T otal Clean is specifically recommended for leather upholstery .
