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 fr om your dealer . Ask your dealer for these numbers and keep them in a safe place. The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up.
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.
W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be injured. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear selector lever . Don’t leave the keys in the ignition.
chip (transponder) embedded into them. Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The Sentry Key Immobilizer System does not need to be armed or activated. Operation of the system is automatic regar dless of whether or not the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electr onics. Replacement Keys NOTE: Only keys that have been programmed to the vehicle electronics can be used to start the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key has been programmed to a vehicle, it can not be programmed to any other vehicle.
4. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch ON within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds a single chime will sound. The Theft Alarm Light will stop flashing, turn on for 3 seconds; then turn off. The new Sentry Key has been programmed.
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.
Central Locking/Unlocking — If Equipped All vehicle doors and liftgate are locked with the first turn of the key to the LOCK position. The double unlock activation feature r equires you to turn the key in the cylinder lock two times within five seconds to UNLOCK all vehicle doors and liftgate at once.
2. Cycle the ignition switch ON/OFF four times ending in the OFF position. 3. Pr ess the interior door lock switch to the LOCK position. 4. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the programming. Y ou can turn the feature back on by r epeating the above mentioned procedur e.
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.
NOTE: Y ou may turn off this featur e and unlock all doors with one press of the button by following the procedur e shown in the Central Locking/Unlocking paragraph. T o Lock The Doors: Press and r elease the LOCK button to lock all doors and liftgate.
T o Program T ransmitters Up to four transmitters can be programmed to your vehicle. Y our new vehicle was shipped with two trans- mitters. See your dealer for additional transmitters Additional transmitters can be programmed to the sys- tem by using the following procedur e: 1.
T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement battery is 2016 or its equivalent. NOTE: Do not touch the battery terminals that are on the back housing or the printed circuit boar d. 1. W ith the transmitter buttons facing down, use a thin coin to pry the two halves of the transmitter apart.
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. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights, park lights, tail lights and the indicator light in the cluster will flash.
T o disarm the system: Unlock a front door/liftgate using either the key or 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.
LIFTGA TE NOTE: The key that is used to start the vehicle is also used to lock or unlock the doors and open the liftgate. T o open the liftgate, insert the key into the lock and turn to the left. The liftgate can also be unlocked using the remote keyless entry or by activating the power door lock switches located on the front doors.
EMERGENCY SEA T BACK RELEASE 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 ar ound the emergency r elease handle at all times. If the handle is pulled downward, entir ely through the elastic loop, the handle will not return to its original position and the seat back may not operate properly .
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.
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! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 35 2.
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 inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Rear Center Lap/Shoulder Belt Retractor Lock-Out This feature is designed to lock the r etractor whenever the rear seat back is not fully latched. This pr events someone from wearing the r ear center lap/shoulder belt when the rear seat back is not fully latched.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upwar d over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove slack fr om the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. If the vehicle is equipped with side airbags, they are located inside the driver and front passenger seats, and their covers are also labeled SRS AIRBAG.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may dam- age the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Infants in rear facing child r estraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag. An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
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.
• Side Airbag in the passenger’s seat • Airbag Control Module (shar ed with the front airbag system) • Side impact sensors • Interconnecting W iring How The Airbag System W orks • The front airbag control module determines if a fr ontal impact is severe enough to r equire the airbags to inflate.
• When the front airbag contr ol module detects a colli- sion requiring the fr ont airbags, it signals the inflator units. A lar ge quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags. The fr ont airbag covers sepa- rate and fold out of the way as the front airbags inflate to their full size.
injure you if you ar e not seated properly , or if items are positioned in the area wher e the side airbag inflates. This especially applies to children.
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags and seat belt pretensioners will not be in place to protect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision.
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 free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
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.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. • Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forwar d-facing in the vehicle.
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 , it will have a distinctive label. • In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint.
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 r estraint without using the vehicle seat belt.
Because the lower anchorages are to be intr oduced to passenger carrying vehicles over a period of years, child restraint systems having attachments for those anchor - ages will continue to have features for installation in vehicles using the lap or lap/shoulder belt.
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. The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint and attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seat back.
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 r equired for the engine in your new vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling contr ols to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside The V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear or uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect tr ead and sidewall for cuts or cracks. Check wheel nuts for tightness, and tires (includ- ing spare) for pr oper pressure.

started within 3 seconds, slightly depress the accelerator pedal while continuing to crank. If the engine fails to start within 15 seconds, turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position, wait 10 to 15 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedur e.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up.
AUTOMA TIC TRANSAXLE — IF EQUIPPED CAUTION! Damage to the transaxle may occur if the following precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock System This system prevents you fr om moving the gear shift out of Park and into any gear unless the brake pedal is pressed. This system is active only while the ignition switch is in the ON positions. Always depress the brake pedal first, before moving the gear selector out of P ARK.
T urn the Key to OFF then restart the engine. Shift into D and resume driving. NOTE: Even if the transaxle can be reset, it is r ecom- mended that you visit a dealer at your earliest possible convenience. Y our dealer has diagnostic equipment to determine if the problem could r ecur .
The following indicators should be used to ensure that you have engaged the transmission shift lever into the P (Park) position: • When shifting into P (Park), depr ess the button on the shift lever and firmly move the lever all the way forward until it stops.
“3” Drive This range eliminates shifts into Overdrive. The transaxle will operate normally in first and second while in this range. NOTE: Using the “3” range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor - mance, fuel economy , and extend transaxle life by reduc- ing excessive shifting and heat build up.
Y ou can shift in or out of the autostick mode at any time without taking your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you choose the Overdrive mode, the transmission will oper - ate automatically; shifting between the four available gears. When you wish to engage autostick, simply move the shift lever to the AUTOSTICK position.
MANUAL TRANSAXLE OPERA TION NOTE: The parking brake should be engaged and the gear selector placed in REVERSE before leaving the vehicle, especially on an incline. Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e you shift gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal.
2.4 Liter T urbo— If Equipped The neutral position of the shift lever is located between THIRD and FOUR TH gear . This is the position the shifter lever will return to automatically when neutral is se- lected.
For improved performance, your manual transaxle may be upshifted up to the maximum speeds listed in table 2 (within legal speed limits). T ABLE 2-MANUAL TRANSAXLE MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE SHIFT SPEEDS IN mph (km/h) ENGINE SIZE 1t o2 2t o3 3t o4 4t o5 2.
P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition on, the Brake Light in the instrument cluster will come on. NOTE: This light only shows that the parking brake is on. It does not show the degree of brake application. If the parking brake is applied while the vehicle is moving, a chime will sound to alert the driver .
When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the automatic transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of Park.
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, r epeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
During stops where ABS is activated, a vibration of the brake pedal may be felt and associated system noises may be heard. NOTE: Pumping of the brake pedal will diminish the effectiveness of Anti-lock brakes and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer .
POWER ASSISTED STEERING The power assisted steering system of your vehicle provides mechanical steering capability in the event power assist is lost. If for some reason the hydraulic pr essure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
• There is a Anti-Lock Brake System malfunction; • There is a T raction Contr ol System malfunction; • The system has been automatically deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to over heated brake temperatures.
• European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standar d have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter 9 P 9 is absent from this tir e size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T(Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ( ....blank.... ( = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: Some vehicles have a “T ire and Loading Infor- mation” placard located on the driver’s side “B” pillar .
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.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and pas- sengers from XXX kilograms or XXX pounds. 4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 205 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tire is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
The pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least once a month. Use a good quality pocket-type gauge to check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation.
T ire pressur e may increase from 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pr essure build up or your tire pr essure will be too low . T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Radial-Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident. Al- ways use radial ply tires in sets of four (or 6, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spar e wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e 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 tr ead grooves and will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear . TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains ar e not recom- mended.
Tire Rotation Recommendations T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 2.4L Standard Engine and 2.4L Standard T urbo Engine Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy when using high quality regular unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of 87. The use of premium gasoline is not recommended.
Over 40 automobile manufacturers ar ound the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions (the W orld W ide Fuel Charter , WWFC) to define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle.
may not be covered by the vehicle warranty . While MTBE is an oxygenate made from Methanol, it does not have the negative effects of Methanol. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber .
CAUTION! If the Malfunction Indicator light is flash- ing, immediate service is required. See the paragraph on the Onboard Diagnostics Sys- tem in section 7 of this manual. Materials Added to Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives.
• The use of fuel additives which are now being sold as octane enhancers is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol.
ADDING FUEL The fuel tank filler tube has a restricting door about 2 inches (50 mm) inside the opening. If using a portable container , it should have a flexible nozzle long enough to force open the r estricting door . Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door , on the passen- ger’s side of the vehicle.
CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. NOTE: When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. W ARNING! • Remove the fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap) slowly to prevent fuel spray from the filler neck which may cause injury .
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the Malfunction Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
Perform maintenance services as prescribed in the main- tenance schedules manual. When your vehicle is used for trailer towing, never exceed the gross axle weight rating (GA WR) by the addition of: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
W ARNING! Connecting trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hydraulic brake lines can overload your brake system and cause it to fail. Y ou might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e.

NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment.
The best time to check the engine oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off or befor e starting the engine after it has sat overnight. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground, will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings.
• Extensive engine idling. • Driving in dusty conditions. • Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km). • More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 90°F (32°C). • T railer towing. • T axi, Police or delivery service (commercial service).
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API).
Synthetic Engine Oils There ar e a number of engine oils being promoted as either synthetic or semi-synthetic. If you chose to use such a product, use only those oils that ar e American Petroleum Institute (API) Certified and SAE viscosity standard. Follow the service schedule that describes your driving type.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ension At the mileage shown in the maintenance schedules, check all drive belts for condition and proper tension.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt 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 spark plug wires disconnected for prolonged period.
the filter element should be inspected periodically and replaced if necessary at the intervals shown on Schedule “B”. W ARNING! The air cleaner can provide a measure of protection in the case of engine backfire. Do not remove the air cleaner unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance.
W ARNING! Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area immediately with large amounts of water .
Air Conditioner Check the air conditioning system at the start of the warm weather season. NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the A/C con- denser for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Clean with a gentle water spray from behind the radiator and through the condenser as r equired.
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 pr oper indicated level.
Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild non abrasive cleaner or use the washer solvent. This will remove accumulations of salt, waxes or r oad film and help reduce str eaking and smearing.
Windshield W asher Reservoir The washer fluid reservoir is located in the r ear of the engine compartment on the passenger side and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radiator antifreeze).
W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. Follow the above precautions to keep your exhaust system as safe as possible.
Coolant Checks Check coolant protection every 12 months (befor e the onset of freezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant. Check the front of the radiator for an accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc.
Selection Of Coolant Use only the manufacturers r ecommended coolant, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct coolant type. CAUTION! Failure to use the proper antifreeze could cause radiator plugging and engine overheating.
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 precaution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated.
humidity accumulation on the radiator and being vapor- ized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot water to enter the radiator . If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure the ar e secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure.
brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and exces- sive swelling suggest deterioration of the rubber . Particu- lar attention should be made to examining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sour ces, such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secur e and no leaks are present.
fluid reservoir . Fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear . Brake fluid level should be checked when pads are r eplaced. However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only manufacturers r ecommended brake fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Automatic T ransaxle All front wheel drive vehicles have a transmission and differ ential assembly contained within a single housing. Selection Of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transaxle to assure optimum transaxle performance.
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level T o properly check the automatic transaxle fluid level, the following procedur e must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. The engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds. 3.
If the fluid is cold, the fluid level should be between the lower two holes, into the area marked “LOW”. If the fluid level shows low , add sufficient transmission fluid to bring to the proper level. CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transaxle can cause serious damage.
Special Additives The manufacturer r ecommends against the addition of any fluid additives to the transaxle. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers should be avoided as they may adversely affect seals.
which exposes your vehicle to airborne contaminants, road surfaces on which the vehicle is operated, extr eme hot or cold weather and other extreme conditions will have an adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and under - body protection.
CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces. Special Care • If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the under carriage at least once a month.
CAUTION! If your vehicle is equipped with flame or woodgrain graphics, it is recommended that special care be taken when using hand-held pressure washers to clean your vehicle. The pressure of these hand-held car wash wands can vary greatly and could possibly cause damage to the surface of the graphic.
CAUTION! Many wheel cleaners contain acids that may harm the wheel surface. NOTE: Replacement costs for components damaged as a result of not following the r ecommended cleaning practices are consider ed the responsibility of the cus- tomer . Interior Care Use Mopar Fabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and ther efore differ ent lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
2. Dry with a soft tissue. Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water .
