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, knee bolsters.
of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. 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! • 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.
plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 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 buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly .
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
6. T o release the belt, push the 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 the desired position.
Rear 60/40 Seat Third Row Center Three Point Belt — If Equipped The center three point seat belt for the thir d row r ear seat may be disconnected to allow the 60% seat back to easily fold down.
T o reattach the seat belt to the thir d row center seat, pull the small (keyed buckle) latch plate forward fr om the headliner slots and insert it into the keyed buckle until there is an audible click. Refer to the pr evious section for the proper seat belt usage.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front seating positions ar e equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belt system 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.
Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will alert the driver to buckle their seat belt.
buckled. A chime will sound immediately (once the feature has toggled). If during this time the ignition switch is turned out of the ON position or the timer expires, pr ogramming mode will be cancelled.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use the seat belt extender 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.
the instrument panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS/AIRBAG ar e embossed on the airbag covers. 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.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . W indow bags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions.
4. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against the door or window , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center .
Air Bag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (If Equipped) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag .
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 RUN positions. These include all of the items listed above except the steering wheel and column, and knee bolsters.
NOTE: Children 12 years and under 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.
adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passen- ger seat. In this case, the air bag is ready 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.
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 W indow Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the window bags to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle. A quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the window bag.
• Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar .
NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system.
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.
• The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer or any engine related gauges ar e not working, the airbag control mod- ule may also be disabled. The airbags may not be ready to inflate for your protection.
may be released for incorporation in aggr egate crash databases, such as those maintained by the US govern- ment and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a particular driver , ve- hicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially .
Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time - babies and children, too. 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.
LA TCH child restraint anchorage system. (See the LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System section.) • 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.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm. W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
lap/shoulder belt will tighten the belt. The cinching latch plate will keep the belt tight, however , any seat belt system will loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary . If the seat belt has a automatic locking retractor , it will have a distinctive label.
restraints, many child r estraint manufacturers of fer add-on tether strap kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child restraint in any vehicle.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you 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.
and some rear -facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of 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.
Second Row Seat T ether Anchors 72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
Child Restraints in Third Row Seating (If Equipped) The third seating r ow is not capable of installing child restraints that r equire the use of a tether strap. Ther e are no tether anchor provisions for the thir d seating row in your vehicle, the hooks in the rear floor ar e not designed to withstand the forces that may occur during a crash.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles of operation. This is a normal part of the break-in and is not an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS Exhaust System W ARNING! Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an ex- tremely toxic gas that by itself is colorless and odorless.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc.
Fluid Leaks Check the area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, water , oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected, the cause should be located and corrected.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Automatic T ransmission Start the engine with the selector lever in NEUTRAL or P ARK position. Apply the brake before shifting to any driving range. 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 .
If Engine Fails T o Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the Normal Starting procedur e, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling can cause excessive exhaust temperatures which can damage your ve- hicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather .
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION Automatic T ransmission The electronic PRNDL on the instrument cluster indicates the transmission gear selected. The selector lever is mounted on the right side of the steering column. T o drive, move the selector lever from Park or Neutral to the desired drive position.
W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed.

W ARNING! Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the ⴖ Service 4WD ⴖ light is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll which may cause personal injury . NOTE: Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or r ear wheels are spinning.
Shifting Procedure - NV 144 T ransfer Case A WD to 4LOCK or 4LOCK to A WD W ith the key ON and the engine either OFF or RUN- NING, rotate the transfer case switch, located on the instrument panel to the desir ed position.
If the key is not ON then the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing. NV 244 Generation II T ransfer Case Operating Information / Precautions The NV 244 Generation II is an electric shift transfer case and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch, which is located on the instrument panel.
NOTE: The transfer case Neutral (N) position is to be used for recr eational towing only . See Recreational T ow- ing section for specific procedur es on shifting into and out of Neutral (N). T ransfer Case Position Indicator Lights T ransfer case position indicator lights are located on the instrument cluster .
When operating your vehicle in 4LO, the engine speed is approximately thr ee times that of the A WD or 4LOCK positions at a given road speed. T ake care not to over- speed the engine and do not exceed 40 km/h (25 mph). Proper operation of four -wheel-drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel.

wheels to complete the shift. There may be a delay up to 13 seconds for the shift to complete after the wheels have stopped spinning. NOTE: Delayed shifting out of the 4LOCK position may be experienced due to uneven tire wear , low tire pr essure, or excessive loading.
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 will flash and the current transfer case position will be maintained. T o retry the selection, turn the control knob back to the curr ent position, wait five (5) seconds, and retry the shift.
NOTE: The instrument cluster brake warning light indicates only that the parking brake is applied. Y ou must be sure the parking brake is fully applied befor e leaving the vehicle. When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM In the event power assist is lost for any reason, (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function. The ef fort requir ed to brake the vehicle will be significantly increased over that requir ed with the power system operating.
At the instant one of the wheels is about to lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is in the regulating mode.
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.
If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi- tions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
ROCKING THE VEHICLE If vehicle becomes stuck in snow , sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Move the gear selector rhythmically between FIRST and REVERSE, while applying slight pressur e to the accelerator .
• 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.

272 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation 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.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure”.
loading may be requir ed for high speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
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.
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 .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es of Durango trucks. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on Durangos with P245/70R17 tires.
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, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates and tend to develop irregular wear pat- terns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS All engines (except 5.7L engines) are de- signed to meet all emissions regulations and provide excellent fuel economy and performance when using high quality un- leaded “regular” gasoline having an oc- tane rating of 87. The routine use of pr e- mium gasoline is not recommended.
and durability for your vehicle. W e recommend the use of gasolines that meet the WWFC specifications if they are available. Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equire the use of cleaner burning gasoline referr ed to as “Reformulated Gasoline.
MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane. Gasolines blended with MMT provide no performance advantage beyond gasolines of the same octane number without MMT . Gasolines blended with MMT reduce spark plug life and reduce emission system performance.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound. This is an indication that the gas cap is properly tightened. Make sure that the gas cap is tightened each time the vehicle is refueled. W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle or on a truck bed.
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. W ARNING! • Never allow any lit smoking materials near the vehicles while removing the cap or filling the tank.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you. Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases.
CA T AL YTIC CONVERTER The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic converter will not requir e maintenance.
vehicle should be stopped, the engine shut off and the vehicle allowed to cool. Service, including a tune-up to manufacturer’s specifications should be obtained imme- diately . T o minimize the possibility of catalyst damage: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
Rating (GA WR) front and r ear , and V ehicle Identification Number (VIN). A Month-Day-Hour (MDH) number is included on this label and shows the Month, Day , and Hour of manufacture. The bar code that appears on the bottom of the label is your V ehicle Identification Number (VIN).
Inflation Pressure (Cold) This is the cold tire inflation pr essure for your vehicle for all loading conditions up to full GA WR. Curb Weight The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle.
W ARNING! Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles. This could cause you to lose control. Also, overloading can shorten the life of your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer car efully re- view this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and r ear axles. Distribute the load over the front and r ear axles evenly . Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GA WR. W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR.
W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing hitch includes a receiver attached to the tow vehicle, plus a removable hitch head and spring bar assembly that fits into the receiver opening and hook up brackets that connect the spring bars to the trailer frame.
T railer Hitch Classification Class Max. GTW (Gross T railer Wt.) Class I - Light Duty 2,000 lbs (907 kg) Class II - Medium Duty 3,500 lbs (1587 kg) Class III - Heavy Duty 5,000 lbs (2268 kg) Class IV.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
CAUTION! • A void towing a trailer for the first 500 miles (805 km) of vehicle operation. Doing so may damage your vehicle. • During the first 500 miles (805 km) of trailer towing, limit your speed to 50 mph (80 km/h). Perform the maintenance listed in Section 8 of this manual.
• Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cr oss the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.
− Check for signs of tire wear or visible tir e damage before towing a trailer . Refer to the T ires–General Information section of this manual on T read W ear Indicators for the proper inspection pr ocedure.
W ARNING! Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hy- draulic brake lines. It can overload your brake sys- tem and cause it to fail. Y ou might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. T owing any trailer will increase your stopping dis- tance.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic. If using a manual transmission vehicle for trailer towing, all starts must be in FIRST gear to avoid excessive clutch slippage.
NOTE: Check the automatic transmission fluid level before towing. T owing T ips — T ow/Haul (If Equipped) T o reduce potential for automatic transmission over heat- ing, turn the “TOW HAUL OD/OFF” feature ON when driving in hilly areas or shift the transmission to Drive position 2 on more sever e grades.
T railer T owing Mirrors — If Equipped These mirrors ar e designed with an adjustable mirror head to provide a gr eater vision range when towing extra-wide loads. T o change position inboard or out- board, the mirr or head should be rotated (flipped Out or In).
W ARNING! Attaching a snowplow to this vehicle could ad- versely affect performance of the airbag system in an accident. Do not expect that the airbag will perform as described earlier in this manual RECREA TIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) Recreational T owing 2WD Models Recreational towing of 2WD models is not allowable.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the Neutral (N) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.

periodically . Make sure that these units are always clean. This will tend to reduce to a minimum the amount of abrasive material that may enter the engine.
For information on engine oil filler cap location, see the Engine Compartment illustration in this section. Lubricants which do not have both, the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber should not be used.
Drive Belts — Check Condition and T ensioner Belt tension is controlled by means of an automatic tensioner . No belt tension adjustments are r equired. However , belt and belt tensioner condition should be inspected at the specified intervals, and replaced if r e- quired.
Ignition Cables Replace the ignition cables (5.7L engines only) at the mileage interval shown in the maintenance charts. Engine Air Cleaner Filter Under normal driving conditions, replace the air filter at the intervals shown on Schedule “A”.
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands after handling the battery . T o determine the battery charge, check the battery test indicator (if equipped) on top of the battery . Refer to the illustration.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
attention should also be given to hood latching compo- nents to insure pr oper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, r elease mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the fall and spring.
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. After the engine has warmed, operate the defroster for a few minutes to reduce the possibility of smearing or freezing the fluid on the cold windshield.
W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. If you open the hood and see steam or hot coolant escaping from the radiator , don’t touch anything.
Recommended Engine Coolant This vehicle has been factory filled with an Ethylene Glycol based engine coolant with long life corrosion inhibitors (called HOA T , for Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology). Follow the “Maintenance Schedule” for the recommended coolant change intervals.
Adding Coolant When adding coolant, or refilling the system, a minimum solution of 50% recommended HOA T ethylene glycol engine coolant (antifreeze) and distilled water should be used. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below ⫺ 34°F ( ⫺ 37°C) ar e anticipated.
W ARNING! The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the coolant pressure cap are a safety precaution. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. T o prevent scalding or injury , do not remove the pres- sure cap when the system is hot or under pressure.
D. Maintain coolant concentration at 50% HOA T ethyl- ene glycol engine coolant (minimum) and distilled water for proper corr osion protection of your engine. E. Make sure that the radiator and coolant bottle over- flow hoses are not kinked or obstr ucted.
Y ou are ur ged to use only the manufacturer’s specified hoses and clamps, or their equivalent in material and specification, in any fuel system servicing. It is manda- tory to replace all clamps that have been loosened or removed during service. Car e should be taken in install- ing new clamps to insure they ar e properly tor qued.
W ARNING! Use of brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point, or is unidentified, as to specifications may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. Y ou could have an accident. W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching on fire.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any sign of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately . Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal operating temperature 180°F (82°C).
a minimum of two (2) minutes for the oil to fully drain into the transmission before r echecking the fluid level. NOTE: If it is necessary to check the transmission below the operating temperature, the fluid level should be between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick with the fluid at approximately 70°F ( 21°C) (r oom temperature).
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.
Axles Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. The manufacturer does not r ecommend regularly sched- uled oil changes for axles in vehicles whose operation is classified as normal truck service. NOTE: The presence of water in the gear lubricant will result in corr osion and possible failure of dif ferential components.
There ar e two groups identified, those for wheel bearings (Letter “G”) and those for chassis (Letter “L”) lubrication. Perfor- mance categories within these groups r esult in dual letter designations for each group.
The most common causes are: • Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation. • Stone and gravel impact. • Insects, tree sap and tar . • Salt in the air near seacoast localities. • Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants. W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly .
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the r esponsibility of the owner . • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and pr otective coating have your vehicle repair ed as soon as possible.
