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 airbags for both the driver and front passenger , and side curtain airbags for the driver and passengers seated next to a window .
inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times to reduce or pr event injuries. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle have combination lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T wo people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash into one another in an accident, hurting one another badly . Never use a lap/shoulder belt or a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
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. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
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 .
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.
the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted in the upward position without pressing the r elease button. T o verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked into position.
Seat Belt Pretensioner — If Equipped The front passenger seat belt is equipped with a pr eten- sioning device that is designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belt systems in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight around the occupant early in a collision.
BeltAlert 威 Programming BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by performing the following steps: NOTE: Chrysler LLC does not recommend deactivating BeltAlert 威 . 1. W ith all doors closed, and the ignition switch in any position except ON or ST AR T , buckle the driver’s seat belt.
Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. However , the belt will still retract to r emove any slack in the shoulder belt. When T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode Use the Automatic Locking Mode anytime a child safety seat is installed in the rear outboar d seating position.
W ARNING! • The belt and retractor assembly must be replaced if the seat belt assembly “automatic locking retrac- tor” feature or any other seat belt function is not working properly when checked according to the procedures in the Service Manual.
Driver and Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger’s front airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front and side curtain airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
trigger on the crash side of the vehicle in moderate-to- severe side collisions or on both sides of the vehicle in rollover collisions. In certain types of collisions, both the front and side airbags may be trigger ed.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old must ride in the fr ont passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint (r efer to information on Child Restraint in this section).
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag • Front Passenger Airbag • Side Curtain Ai.
The ORC also monitors the readiness of the electr onic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON position. These include all of the items listed above except the Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light, the instrument panel, and the steering wheel and column.
NOTE: Children 12 years and younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appr opriate child restraint. • The Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light (an amber light located in the center of the instrument panel) tells the driver and front passenger when the front passenger airbag is turned of f.
The “P AD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when an adult passenger is properly seated in the front passenger seat. In this case, the airbag is r eady to be inflated if a collision requiring an airbag occurs.
will cause the system to turn the airbag on. In this case, the OCS has classified the occupant of the seat as an adult. An adult occupant needs to sit in a normal position (with their feet on or near the floor) in order to be properly classified. Reclining the seat back too far may change how an occupant is classified by the OCS.
lodged under the seat and interferes with operation of the weight sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the “P AD Indicator Light” and the “Airbag W arning Light.” Once the lodged object is removed, the fault will be automatically cleared after a short period of time.
• The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbags are de- signed to activate only in certain side collisions and rollover events. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle or both sides of the vehicle for a rollover event.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly or its related com- ponents may inadvertently change the airbag deploy- ment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
throat irritation, move to fr esh air . If the irritation continues, see your doctor . If these particles settle on your clothing, follow the garment manufacturer’s in- structions for cleaning. • It is not advisable to drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not place or hang any items such as add-on video players on the front passenger seatback. The additional weight may cause the Occupant Classi- fication System to be unable to classify the front seat passenger correctly . This could allow the passenger frontal airbag to inflate when it is not desired.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to five seconds of specific vehicle data param- eters (see the following list) in an event data recor der .
the U.S. government and various states. Data of a poten- tially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver , vehicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially . Confidential data will not be disclosed by Chrysler LLC to any third party except when: 1.
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time, including babies and children. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used r earward-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A rearward- facing infant restraint should only be used in a rear seat. A rearward-facing infant re- straint in the front seat may be struck by a deploy- ing passenger airbag, which may cause severe or fatal injury to the infant.
the child restraint using lower anchorages and upper tether straps from the child r estraint to the vehicle structur e. LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems ar e now avail- able.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge you to car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Not all child restraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instr uctions that were pr ovided with the child restraint system.
Many , but not all restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector for attachment to the lower anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension in the strap.
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.
the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position. T o attach a child restraint tether strap: Route the tether strap over the seatback and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
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.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not inter- preted as an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
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. If you are r equired to drive with the trunk/liftgate open, make sure that all windows ar e closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed.
Airbag W arning Light The light should come on and remain on for six to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not lit during starting, see your authorized dealer . If the light stays on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an autho- rized dealer .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build-up may cause serious injury or death.
If Engine Fails to Start W ARNING! • Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in a flash fire causing serious personal injury . (Continued) W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started.
W ith T ip Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Extreme Cold W eather” proce- dures, it may be flooded. T o clear any excess fuel, push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. Use the heater when temperatures below 0 °F (-18 °C) ar e expected to last for several days.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
5. Using the scr ewdriver , reach into the manual override opening. Press and hold the shift lock lever down. 6. Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position. 7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL. Have your vehicle inspected by your local authorized dealer if the shift lock manual override has been used.
Gear Ranges Do not race the engine when shifting from P ARK or NEUTRAL position into another gear range. P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Overdrive Operation The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled 4th speed (OVERDRIVE). The trans- mission will automatically shift from 3r d gear to OVER- DRIVE if th.

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION MP1522 Command-T rac 姞 T ransfer Case — If Equipped Operating Information and Precautions The Command-T rac 威 transfer case provides four posi- tions: • T wo–whee.
CAUTION! (Continued) • The 4WD LOCK position and 4WD LOW position are intended for loose or slippery road surfaces only . Driving in these positions on dry hard- surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Since four-wheel drive provides improved trac- tion, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds. Do not go faster than road con- ditions permit. Y ou or others could be injured. Shift Positions The electronic transfer case switch is located on the center console next to the shift lever .
4WD Lock 4-Wheel Drive High Range - This range locks the front driveshaft and rear driveshaft together for cing the front and rear wheels to r otate at the same speed. Additional traction for loose or slippery road surfaces only . 4WD Low 4-Wheel Drive Low Range - This range provides low speed four-wheel drive.
Shifting Procedures NOTE: If any of the requir ements to select a new transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case will not shift, the indicator light for the previous position will remain on, and the newly selected position indicator light will continue to flash until all the requir ements for the selected position have been met.
Shifting can be performed with the vehicle rolling 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h) using the “Preferr ed Procedur e” or completely stopped using the “Alternate Procedur e.” Preferr ed Procedur e 1. W ith the engine RUNNING, slow the vehicle speed to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h).

Hill Climbing NOTE: Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the conditions at the crest and/or on the other side. Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission to a lower gear and shift the transfer case to 4WD LOW . Use first gear and 4WD LOW for very steep hills.
T raction Downhill Shift the transmission into a low gear and the transfer case to 4WD LOW range. Let the vehicle go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning against engine compression drag. This will permit you to contr ol the vehicle speed and direction.
W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent an accident. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary .
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
P ARKING BRAKE T o set the parking brake, pull the lever up as firmly as possible. When the parking brake is applied with the ignition ON, the “Brake W arning Light” in the instru- ment cluster will light. T o release the parking brake, pull up slightly , press the center button, then lower the lever completely .
W ARNING! • Always apply the parking brake fully when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave the transmission in the P ARK position. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
W ARNING! Significant over or under-inflation of tires or mixing sizes of tires or wheels on the vehicle can lead to loss of braking effectiveness. The ABS conducts a low-speed self-test at about 12 mph (20 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring, you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner , which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.
build up between the tire tr ead and the road. This hydroplaning action can cause loss of traction, braking ability , and control. • After going through deep water or a car wash, brakes may become wet, resulting in decr eased performance and unpredictable braking action.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the ve- hicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
benefit of the system, you must apply continuous brak- ing pressur e during the stopping sequence, (do not “pump” the brakes). Do not reduce brake pedal pr essure unless braking is no longer desired. Once the brake pedal is released, the BAS is deactivated.
W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions, and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur . Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to follow these warnings can result in an accident or serious personal injury . Hill Start Assist (HSA) The HSA system is designed to help the driver accelerate the vehicle from a complete stop while on an incline.
W ARNING! There may be situations where the Hill Start Assist (HSA) will not activate and slight rolling may occur , such as on minor hills (i.e., less than 7%), or with a loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer . HSA is not a substitute for active driving involvement.
Disabling and Enabling HSA This feature can be turned on or turned of f. T o change the current setting, pr oceed as follows: For vehicles equipped with the Electronic V ehicle Infor- mation Center (E.
Hill Descent Control (HDC) — If Equipped HDC is only intended for low speed off-r oad driving. HDC maintains vehicle speed while descending hills in off-r oad driving conditions by applying the brakes when necessary . When enabled, HDC senses the terrain and activates when the vehicle is descending a hill.
The “Hill Descent” button is located in the lower switch bank below the climate control. Enabling HDC 1. Shift the transfer case into 4WD LOW range. Refer to “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in this section for transfer case operation information.
The ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the path that the driver intends to steer the vehicle and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, the ESP applies the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the condition of over-steer or under -steer .
Depending upon model and mode of operation, the ESP system has up to three operating modes: “ESP On” “Partial Off,” and “Full Of f.” ESP On — T wo-Wheel Drive V ehicles and Four-Wheel Drive V ehicles in 2WD and 4WD High Range This is the normal operating mode for ESP when operat- ing a two-wheel drive vehicle.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or when starting off in deep snow , sand, or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by momentarily depr essing the “ESP OFF” button.
In this mode, ESP and TCS ar e turned off (except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section) until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/k). At speeds over 40 mph (64 km/k), the system automatically switches to “Partial Off” mode, described above.

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 can cause steering prob- lems. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle. • Over-inflated or under -inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can fail suddenly , resulting in loss of vehicle control.
The pressur e should be checked and adjusted, as well as inspected 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 fr om 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 . Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits.
Cuts and punctures in radial tir es are r epairable only in the tread ar ea because of sidewall flexing. Consult your authorized dealer for radial tire r epairs. Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires.
CAUTION! Because of the reduced ground clearance, do not take your vehicle through an automatic car wash with the compact spare installed. Damage to the vehicle may result. Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h).
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the indicators appear in two or more adjacent gr ooves, the tire should be r eplaced.
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 sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
CAUTION! T o avoid damage to your vehicle, tires, or chains, observe the following precautions: • Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with tires other than P225/75R16 or smaller tires. There may not be adequate clearance for the chains and you are risking structural or body damage to your vehicle.
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, handling, and braking functions.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals. Remember , more fr equent rotation is permissible if desir ed. Also, correct for anything causing rapid or unusual wear prior to performing the tire r otation.
T elltale Light will turn off once the system r eceives the updated tire pr essures. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to r eceive this information. For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pr essure of 33 psi (227 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
The matching full-size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor . The matching full-size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es. The TPMS will only monitor the pressur e in the full-size spare when it is used in place of a r oad tire.

dipstick. Adding 1 quart (0.9 L) of oil when the reading is at the bottom of the SAFE zone will result in a r eading at the top of the safe zone on these engines. CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
Engine Oil V iscosity SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . The engine oil filler cap also shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your engine.
Engine Oil Filter Selection All of this manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment. The quality of replacement filters varies consider - ably . Only high-quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service.
Maintenance-Free Battery The top of the maintenance-free battery is permanently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed. W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you.
CAUTION! (Continued) • If a “fast charger” is used while the battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both vehicle battery cables before connecting the charger to the battery . Do not use a “fast charger” to provide starting voltage as battery damage can result.
Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a air conditioning refrigerant is a hydr ofluoro- carbon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
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 or r oad film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system or if t.
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 catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
spraying water from a gar den hose vertically down the face of the A/C condenser (if equipped) or the back of the radiator core. Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the coolant recovery bottle and radiator .
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and may decrease corro- sion protection.
When adding engine coolant (antifreeze): • The manufacturer r ecommends using MOP AR 威 Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Y ear/100,000 Mile Formula HOA T (Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology). • Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water .
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month. When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the corr ect type thermostat. Other designs may result in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
W ARNING! • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. • Use of a brake fluid that has a lower initial boiling .
Fluid and Filter Changes Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 for the proper maintenance intervals. In addition, change the fluid and filter if the transmission is disassembled for any reason. Special Additives The manufacturer str ongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives to the transmission.
Draining Fluid First remove fill plug (2), then drain plug (3). Recom- mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is 15–25 ft lbs (20–34 N·m). CAUTION! Do not over-tighten the plugs. Y ou could damage them and cause a leak. Lubricant Selection Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended fluid.
Sky Slider 姞 T op Care Immediate removal of any contaminant is r ecommended. Regular washing of the top will enhance its life and appearance, and make successive cleaning easier . Do not subject the top to excessive heat. Frequently vacuum the top and tracks.
• Allow the top to dry before opening. V acuuming the top with a wet/dry shop vacuum will decrease the tops drying time, ensure r emoval of all dirt, and delete streaks in the material. • Multiple cleanings may be necessary to remove stub- born stains.
W eather Strip Care Lubricate the weather strips periodically with MOP AR 威 W eather Strip Lubricant, to keep them soft and pliable. Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• If insects, tar , or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOP AR 威 Super Kleen Bug and T ar Remover to remove. • Use MOP AR 威 Cleaner W ax to remove road film, stains, and to protect your paint finish. T ake care never to scratch the paint.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., assure that such materials ar e well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use MOP AR 威 T ouch Up Paint or equivalent on scratches or chips as soon as possible.
• For grease stains, apply MOP AR 威 Multi-Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and remove the stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to r emove soap residue.
W ARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause respiratory harm. Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle has plastic headlights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights.
1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a clean damp rag. 2. Dry with a soft cloth. Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye, or clean the seat belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners.
