OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, fr ont airbag.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is near the seatback of the front seats and next to your arm in the r ear seats. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click ” . W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
4. Position the lap belt acr oss your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you ’ ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
2. At about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 ° to create a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate. 3. Slide the latch plate upwar d over the folded webbing. The folded webbing must enter the slot at the top of the latch plate.
Center Lap Belts The center seating positions have a lap belt only . T o fasten the lap belt, slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “ click ” . T o lengthen the lap belt, tilt the latch plate and pull. T o remove slack, pull the loose end of the webbing.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the fr ont airbag con- trol module (see Fr ont Airbag Section).
2. T urn the ignition key to the RUN position (engine does not need to be running), and wait for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn off. 3. W ithin 60 seconds, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver ’ s seat belt at least three times, ending with the seat belt buckled.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
Also, the front passenger airbag is certified to the Federal regulations that define Occupant Classification (Refer to “ Occupant Classification System ” in this section). This vehicle may also be equipped with a driver inflat- able knee blocker located on the instrument panel below the steering column.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here ar e 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. Infants in rear facing child r estraints should NEVER ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger fr ont airbag.
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.

first turned on. After the self-check, the AIRBAG warning light will turn off. The P AD indicator light will function normally (Refer to “ Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light ” in this section). If the ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the AIRBAG warning light either momen- tarily or continuously .
• The Side Impact SRS W indow Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC and the side impact sensors (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the window bags to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle.
• If your vehicle contains a Passenger Airbag Disable indicator light, it will be equipped with the Occupant Classification System (OCS). The OCS system will classify an occupant into a size category based on sensor readings fr om within the seat cushion.
OFF when the OCS has determined that the occupant size category is a child. Also, when the seat is empty or an object that weighs less than a predetermined thr eshold is placed on the seat, the light will remain OFF . (The P AD indicator light is an amber light located on the center of the instrument panel above the radio.
• The Occupant Classification Module (OCM) — If Equipped is located beneath the front passenger seat. The OCM classifies the occupant into one of three size categories based on the input from the Bladder Assem- bly and Belt T ension Sensor . The size categories in- clude empty , child, and adult.
(OCS) to properly classify the fr ont passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment. Do not make any modifications to the front passenger seat components, assembly , or to the seat cover .
• At no time should any supplemental restraint system (SRS) component or SRS related component or fas- tener be modified or replaced with any part except those which are appr oved by DaimlerChrysler/ Mopar .
• It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you. W ARNING! Deployed airbags, seat belt pretensioners and driver inflatable knee blocker cannot protect you in an- other collision.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
• The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second interval. • The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. DaimlerChrysler Corporation Integrated Child Seat — If Equipped Operating instructions for this seat ar e included with the seat.
W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
infant carriers do, so they can be used rearwar d-facing by children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child ’ s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. If this doesn ’ t help, move the child to the center rear seating position and use the lap belt.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it, befor e you buy it.
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er ’ s directions. • When your child restraint is not in use, secur e it in the vehicle with the seat belt or remove it fr om the vehicle. Don ’ t leave it loose in the vehicle.
head restraint posts. Except for bench seats with split seatbacks, when the tether anchorage is used in the center seating position, the strap should be positioned straight over the top of the seatback. For bench seats with split seatbacks, route the tether between the seatbacks.
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. Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available.
at one time. Instead, you may install one child restraint at the center position, or one child restraint at each of the right and left positions. W ARNING! Fleet V ehicles Only: Do not install child restraint systems equipped with LA TCH attachments at all three seating positions in the seat at one time.
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer ’ s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
W ARNING! Rear Facing Infant restraints must never be secured in the passenger seat of a vehicle with a passenger airbag. In an accident a passenger airbag may deploy causing severe injury or death to infants riding in rear facing infant restraints.
child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled in the passenger seat with the seat adjusted to the rear most position.
3. Follow the child r estraint manufacturer ’ s directions for proper use of connecting the child r estraint to the extended tether strap. 4. If necessary , raise the passenger seat head restraint to allow the tether strap to be routed under the head restraint.
6. Using the hook attached to the child r estraint tether strap, attach the child restraint tether strap to the metal ring on the vehicle tether anchor . 7. Following the child seat manufactur er ’ s instructions, tighten the child restraint tether strap.
While cruising, brief full-thr ottle acceleration, within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes to a good br eak-in. W ide open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided. The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high quality energy conserving type lubricant.
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. DO NOT use the recirculation mode. Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts.
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.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds, can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle.
W ARNING! Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. V ehicles equipped with an automatic trans- mission 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.
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. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “ P ” or “ N ” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Reset Mode - Electronic T ransmission The transmission is monitored electr onically for abnor- mal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the transmission automatically shifts into sec- ond gear . The transmission remains in second gear despite the forward gear selected.
Apply parking brake when leaving vehicle in this range. • “ R ” Reverse Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • “ N ” Neutral Engine may be started in this range. • “ D ” Overdrive For most city and highway driving, it provides smoothest upshifts and downshifts and best fuel economy .
NOTE: The vehicle computer will over ride Overdrive and “ 3 ” Drive ranges by changing shift points if the transmission operating temperature exceeds acceptable limits.
added precaution, turn the fr ont wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on a uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle. W ARNING! Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is danger- ous for a number of reasons.
by increased pedal travel during application, gr eater pedal force r equired to slow or stop, and potential activation of the Brake W arning Lamp. Anti-Lock Brake System — If Equipped The Anti-Lock Brake System pr ovides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions.
When the vehicle is driven over approximately 15 mph (25 km/h), you may also hear a slight clicking sound as well as some related motor noises. These noises ar e the system performing its self check cycle to ensure that the ABS system is working properly .
W ARNING! • Anti-lock system (ABS) cannot prevent the natu- ral laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
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! Prolong operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and should be avoided when possible.
• There is a T raction Contr ol System malfunction • The system has been deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to overheated brake tempera- tures NOTE: The T raction Control will make buzzing or clicking sounds when in operation.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P(Passenger)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “ P ” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a 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: The proper cold tir e inflation pressur e for pas- senger cars is listed on either the face of the driver ’ s door or the driver ’ s side “ B ” pillar .
T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tells you important information about the, 1) number of people that can be carried in the vehicle 2) the total weight your vehicle can carry 3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pr essures for the fr ont, rear and spare tir es.
combined weight of occupants, cargo/luggage and trailer tongue weight (if applicable) should never exceed the weight refer enced here. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit 1. Locate the statement “ The combined weight of occu- pants and cargo should never exceed XXX pounds ” on your vehicle ’ s placard.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 317 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy — Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e underinflated. 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 tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
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.
W ARNING! The limited use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 60 mph (100 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited use spare tire and wheel assembly .
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). When the indicators appear in 2 or more adjacent gr ooves, the tire should be r eplaced. Many states have laws requiring tir e replacement at this point.
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 suspen- sion dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and brak- ing 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 .
CHECK TPM SYSTEM The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPM) system requires service. See your authorized dealer for service. CAUTION! The TPM system has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle.

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.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase the octane num- ber . Gasolines blended with MMT offer no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT .
• An out-of-tune engine, or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions, can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may requir e immediate service.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with pr oper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly .
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. NOTE: The driver ’ s side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. • A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
• V ehicle Identification Number (VIN) • T ype of V ehicle • Month Day and Hour of Manufacture (MDH) The bar code allows a computer scanner to read the V ehicle Identification Number (VIN). Gross V ehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total allowable weight of your vehicle.
Figure out the weight on the fr ont and rear of the vehicle separately . It is important that you distribute the load evenly over the front and r ear axles. Overloading can cause potential safety hazards and shorten useful service life. Heavier axles or suspension components do not necessarily increase the vehicle ’ s GVWR.
Example Only Front Axle Rear Axle Empty W eight 2140 lbs 1470 lbs Load (Including driver , pass- sengers and cargo) 360 lbs 980 lbs T otal 2500 lbs 2450 lbs GA WR 2544 lbs 2544 lbs 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.
T owing Requirements • The maximum frontal ar ea of the trailer cannot exceed 40 square feet (3.72 squar e meters). • The trailer tongue load must be considered as part of the combined weight of occupants and cargo, and should never exceed the weight refer enced on the T ire and Loading Information placard.
TRA VEL CONDITION MAXIMUM TRAILER WEIGHT (TRAILER FRONT AL AREA NOT TO EXCEED 40 SQ. FT .) 3.3L,& 3.8L ENGINES 3.3L & 3.8L ENGINES WITH HEA VY DUTY TRAILER TOW P ACKAGE MAX. COMBINED WEIGHT OF VEHICLE AND TRAILER NOT TO EXCEED 6,600 lbs (2993 kg) MAX.
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 . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.

Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh coolant.
CAUTION! • Mixing of coolants other than specified engine coolant, may result in engine damage, and de- crease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the speci- fied coolant as soon as possible.
Cooling System Pressure Cap The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of coolant, and to insure that coolant will r eturn to the radiator from the coolant r ecovery bottle. The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
do not store ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately . Clean up any ground spills immediately . Coolant Level The coolant recovery bottle pr ovides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is ad- equate.
• Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifr eeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
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 they ar e secure and no leaks ar e present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
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 they ar e secure and no leaks ar e present. NOTE: Often, fluid such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant opera- tions to facilitate the assembly of hoses to couplings.
Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may cause leaking in the system. Add enough fluid to bring the level up to the requir e- ments described on the brake fluid reservoir . W ith disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear .
Fuel System Hoses Electronic Fuel Injection high pr essure fuel systems are designed with hoses which have unique material charac- teristics to provide adequate sealing and r esist attack by deteriorated gasoline. Use only the manufacturers specified hoses in any fuel system servicing.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turers recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturers recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
5. Remove the dipstick and determine if the fluid is hot or warm. Hot fluid is approximately 180 ° F (82 ° C), which is the normal operating temperature after the vehicle has been driven at least 15 miles (24 km). The fluid cannot be comfortably held between the finger tips.
• Police, taxi, limousine, commercial type operation, or trailer towing where the vehicle is driven r egularly for more than 45 minutes of continuous operation. NOTE: Refer to Section 8 of this manual for Mainte- nance Schedules. If the transmission is disassembled for any reason, the fluid and filter should be changed.
The following maintenance recommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corr osion resistance built into your vehicle. What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the r esult of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings fr om your vehicle.
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.
• 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. Y our dealer has touch up paint to match the color of your vehicle. Interior Care Use Mopar Fabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
1. Remove all dirt with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. Glass cleaners are not r ecommended. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp rag. 2. T o maintain the high gloss shine, apply a scratch and swirl remover onto a damp cloth and apply to door applique.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water . Do not remove the belts fr om the car to wash them. Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly .
Cleaning Soak the drawer , with the drawer front facing up, in a mixture of medium hot tap water and one teaspoon of mild liquid dish soap. Let soak for approximately one hour . After one hour pull the drawer from the water and dip it back into the water about six times.
