INTRODUCTION This Owner’s Manual has been prepar ed with the assis- tance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is supplemented by a W arranty Information Booklet and various customer-oriented documents.
Failure to use driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal injury . In fact, the U.S. government notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually .
6 INTRODUCTION.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your vehicle are double-sided. Y ou can insert the keys into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your authorized dealer to give you the number .
W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position. SENTR Y KEY 姞 The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System prevents unautho- rized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated.
NOTE: • The Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System is not compat- ible with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security pr otection.
procedur e. This procedure consists of pr ogramming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer .
Repeat this procedur e to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed Sentry Key 威 , contact your authorized dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tem’s memory .
T o Arm the System: Remove the keys from the ignition switch and exit the vehicle. Lock the doors and liftgate by pressing the power door LOCK switch or the LOCK button on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter .
ILLUMINA TED ENTRY The interior lights come on when you open any door . They will remain on for about 30 seconds after all doors are closed then fade to of f.
T o Unlock the Doors and Liftgate Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock the driver’s door , or twice to unlock all doors and the liftgate. The parking lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system will also turn on.
T o Lock the Doors and Liftgate Press and r elease the LOCK button on the RKE transmit- ter to lock all doors and the liftgate. If the ignition is OFF when the doors are locked, the parking lights will flash once and the horn will sound a single chirp.
Flash Lights with Lock The feature will cause the parking lights to flash when the doors are locked or unlocked with the RKE transmit- ter . This feature can be turned on or off.
Using the Panic Alarm NOTE: The P ANIC and SECURITY alarms ar e quite differ ent. Please take a moment to activate the P ANIC and SECURITY modes to hear the dif ferences in the horn. If one should sound in the future, you will need to know which mode has been activated in order to deactivate it.
2. W ith the RKE transmitter buttons facing down, use a flat blade to pry the two halves of the RKE transmitter case apart. Make sure not to damage the seal during removal. 3. Remove and replace the batteries. A void touching the new batteries with your fingers.
NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly ap- proved by the party r esponsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a normal distance, check for these two conditions: 1.
Once the engine starts it will run for 15 minutes. T o cancel remote start, pr ess and release the REMOTE ST ART button once. T o enter the vehicle while the engine is running during a remote start, you must first unlock the vehicle using the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter .
If any other active warnings including “GA TE” or “GAS- CAP” are pr esent, they will be shown in the VF display and will also continue to cycle. If the vehicle is moving, three single chimes will occur (one chime for each complete display cycle, three cycles total).
W ARNING! (Continued) • When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave unattended children in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe per- sonal injuries and death.
Automatic Door Locks The doors will lock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if all of the following conditions are met: 1. The automatic door locks feature is enabled. 2. The transmission is in gear . 3. All doors are closed. 4. The throttle is pr essed.
4. A single chime will indicate the completion of the programming. 5. Repeat these steps if you want to return this featur e to its previous setting. NOTE: Use the automatic door locks feature in accor - dance with local laws. Automatic Unlock Doors on Exit The doors will unlock automatically on vehicles with power door locks if: 1.
4. A single chime will indicate the completion of the programming. 5. Repeat these steps if you want to return this featur e to its previous setting. NOTE: Use the automatic unlock doors on exit feature in accordance with local laws.
NOTE: For emergency exit with the system engaged, move the lock plunger up (unlocked position), roll down the window , and open the door with the outside door handle. WINDOWS Power Windows The power window controls ar e located on the driver’s door trim panel.
W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection — If Equipped On some models, the driver’s power window switch has an “Auto Up” feature. Pull the window switch up to the second detent, release, and the window will go up automatically . T o stop the window from going all the way up during the auto-up operation, push down on the switch briefly .
W ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing. Reset At some point in time, it may be necessary to reactivate the auto-up feature. T o do so, perform the following procedur e: 1.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the per ception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
W ARNING! Driving with the liftgate open can allow poisonous exhaust gases into your vehicle. Y ou and your pas- sengers could be injured by these fumes. Keep the liftgate closed when you are operating the vehicle. OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer injuries, including fatalities, if you are not properly buckled 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! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries.
W ARNING! (Continued) A shoulder belt placed behind 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 .
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The r etractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button marked PRESS on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seating positions, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to position the belt away from your neck. Pr ess the release button to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
Automatic Locking Mode — If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to r emove any slack in the shoulder belt. When T o Use The Automatic Locking Mode Anytime a child safety seat is installed in the rear center 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.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ) can be en- abled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST ART position.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy . Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug acr oss the hips as possible.
Driver And Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS) This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel. The passenger side airbag is mounted in the instrument panel, above the glove compartment.
This vehicle is equipped with window bags to protect the driver , front, and rear passengers sitting next to a win- dow . They are located above the side windows. Their covers are also labeled SRS/AIRBAG. NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim, but they will open to allow airbag deployment.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for instal- lation on the vehicle roof.
Here ar e some simple steps you can take to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and younger 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 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.
• Occupant Classification System (OCS) — Front Pas- senger Seat Only − Occupant Classification Module − Passenger Airbag Disable (P AD) Indicator Light − W eight Sensors How The Airbag Syste.
W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
The “P AD Indicator Light” should not be illuminated when an adult passenger is properly seated in the fr ont passenger seat. In this case, the airbag is ready to be inflated if a collision requiring an airbag occurs.
NOTE: Even though this vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classification System, children 12 years and younger should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appropriate child r estraint.
improperly classified. Ensur e that the front passenger seatback does not touch anything placed on the back seat because this can also affect occupant classification. Also, if you fold down the rear seat, check to be sur e it doesn’t touch the front passenger seat.
The driver front airbag gas is vented thr ough the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. The passenger front airbag gas is vented through the vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way , the airbags do not interfere with your control of the vehicle.
The front passenger seat assembly contains critical com- ponents that affect the fr ont passenger airbag deploy- ment. Correctly functioning fr ont passenger seat compo- nents are critical for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to properly classify the fr ont passenger and calcu- late the proper airbag deployment.
If A Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy when the Occupant Restraint Control (ORC) module detects a moderate-to-severe fr ontal collision to help restrain the driver and front passenger , and then to immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not severe enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags cannot protect you in another col- lision. Have the airbags, and seat belt retractor as- sembly replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbag system ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. The airbag system is designed to be maintenance free.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler LLC (regar dless of initiative), the company or its designated repr esentative will first obtain permission of the appropriate custodial en.

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.
Here ar e some tips for 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. The manufactur er also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.
• In the rear seat, you may have tr ouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it.
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.
LA TCH-compatible child restraint systems are now avail- able. However , because the lower anchorages are to be introduced over a period of years, child r estraint systems having attachments for those anchorages will continue to also have features for installation using the vehicle’s seat belts.
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.
In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat. 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.
child restraint r earward and downward into the seat, removing slack in the straps accor ding to the child restraint manufactur er’s instructions. W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint.
If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if by pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, you may need to do something more. Disconnect the latch plate fr om the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again.
T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thr own about and possibly injured, or injur e a passenger during panic braking or in a collision. Pets should be restrained in the r ear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secur ed by seat belts.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips: • Do not inhale exhaust gases.
Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged i.e., (bent retractor , torn web- bing, etc.). If there is any question r egarding belt or retractor condition, r eplace the belt.

Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed. • Do not shift from REVERSE, P ARK, or NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the engine is above idle speed. • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock Manual Override Y our vehicle may be equipped with a shift lock manual override. The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from P ARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal de- pressed.
4–Speed Automatic T ransmission (3.7L Engine) NOTE: Under extreme cold temperatur es (-6°F (-21°C) and when in DRIVE, transmission operation may be briefly limited to only 2nd gear operation. Normal op- eration will resume once the transmission temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
P ARK This gear position 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. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the shift lever in the P ARK position.
NEUTRAL Move the shift lever into this gear only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Always depress and main- tain firm pressur e on the brake pedal while in this range. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range for extended periods of time.
NOTE: If the vehicle is started in extremely cold tem- peratures, the transmission may not shift into OVER- DRIVE and will automatically select the most desirable gear for operation at this temperature. Normal operation will resume when the transmission fluid temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
NOTE: TOW/HAUL mode locks out Over drive. The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated. Pressing the switch a second time r estores normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started.
If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. If the pr oblem persists, P ARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to oper- ate. Only 2nd gear range will operate in the DRIVE position. Have the transmission checked at your autho- rized dealer as soon as possible.
Gear Ranges NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. If there is a need to r estart the engine, be sure to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting.
NEUTRAL Shift into NEUTRAL when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine r unning. The engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage.
Overdrive Operation The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled 5th gear (OVERDRIVE). The trans- mission will automatically shift from 4th gear to OVER- DRIVE if the .
T o reset the transmission, use the following pr ocedure: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the shift lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn OFF the engine and be sure to turn the key to the LOCK position. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then r estart the en- gine.
• If the vehicle has not been driven in several days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the trans- mission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to the fluid partially draining from the tor que converter into the transmission. This condition is normal and will not cause damage to the transmission.
When additional traction is requir ed, the transfer case 4WD LOCK position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together and for ce the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This is accomplished by rotating the 4WD Contr ol Switch to the desired position.
2WD ⇔ 4WD LOCK Rotate the 4WD Control Switch to the desir ed position. Shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be done with the vehicle stopped or in motion. W ith the vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelerator pedal after turn- ing the control switch.
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS When T o Use 4L or 4LO (Low) Range When off-r oad driving, shift to 4L or 4LO for additional traction and control on slippery or dif ficult terrain, ascending or descending steep hills, and to increase low-speed pulling power .
Flowing W ater If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm run-of f) avoid crossing until the water level r ecedes and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you must cr oss flowing water , avoid depths in excess of nine inches. The flowing water can erode the str eambed causing your vehicle to sink into deeper water .
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 4L or 4LO. Use first gear and 4L or 4LO for very steep hills.
T raction Downhill Shift the transmission into a low gear and the transfer case to 4L or 4LO 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.
• Do not drive too fast for road conditions, especially when roads ar e wet or slushy . A wedge of water can build up between the tire tr ead and the road.
W ARNING! Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ABS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Electronic Roll Mitigation (ERM) This system anticipates the potential for wheel lift by monitoring the driver ’s steering wheel input and the speed of the vehicle.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) This system enhances directional contr ol and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP cor - rects for over/under steering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counter - acting the over/under steer condition.
W ARNING! The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) cannot pre- vent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. ESP cannot prevent acci- dents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
Partial Of f This mode is entered by momentarily depr essing the ESP OFF switch (located in the center stack lower switch bank). When in “Partial Off” mode, the TCS portion of ESP , except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section, has been disabled and the “ESP/TCS Indi- cator Light” will be illuminated.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains, or starting off in deep snow , sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pressing the ESP OFF switch.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
• L T (Light T ruck) - Metric tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards. The size designation for L T -Metric tires is the same as for P-Metric tir es except for the letters “L T” that are molded into the sidewall preced- ing the size designation.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light truck tir e based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tir e can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tir e can .
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressure is listed on the driver’s side B-Pillar . T ire and Loading Information Placard This placard tel.
NOTE: Under a maximum loaded vehicle condition, gross axle weight ratings (GA WRs) for the front and r ear axles must not be exceeded. For further information on GA WRs, vehicle loading, and trailer towing, refer to “V ehicle Loading” in this section.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer , load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
304 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.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the vehicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage it. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always cold tire inflation pr essure.
Tire 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 pressure is very important.
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
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 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited-use spare tire and wheel assembly .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
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.
TIRE CHAINS Use “Class S” chains or other traction aids that meet SAE T ype “S” specifications. NOTE: Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle as recommended by the chain manufactur er .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the r ear tires. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted with P235/65R17 and P225/75R16 tires. CAUTION! Do not use tire chains on vehicles equipped with tires other than P235/65R17 and P225/75R16 tires.
These effects can be r educed by timely rotation of tires. The benefits of rotation ar e especially worthwhile with aggressive tr ead designs such as those on On/Off-Road type tires. Rotation will incr ease tread life, help to main- tain mud, snow , and wet traction levels, and contribute to a smooth, quiet ride.
The tire pr essure will also increase as the vehicle is driven. This is normal and there should be no adjust- ment for this increased pr essure. • The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pr essu.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will af fect tire pressur e, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pr essure in the tire. Base System The T ire Pr essure Monitor System (TPMS) uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pr essure levels.
light will turn off. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information. Check TPMS W arning When a system fault is detected, the T ire Pr essure Moni- toring T elltale light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid.
NOTE: V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tir e does not have a tire pressur e monitoring sensor . Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.
• Three T rigger modules (mounted in three of the four wheel-wells) • V arious T ire Pr essure Monitoring System messages, which display in the Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC) • T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale light The matching full size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor .
Should this occur , you should stop as soon as possible and inflate the tires with low pr essure (those flashing in the EVIC graphic) to the vehicle’s recommended cold placard pr essure value.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the T ire Pr essure Monitoring T elltale light will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYS- TEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
NOTE: V ehicles with Compact Spare 1. The compact spare tir e does not have a tire pressur e monitoring sensor . Therefore, the TPMS will not monitor the pressur e in the compact spare tire.

Operation is subject to the following conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference. • This device must accept any interference r eceived, including interference that may cause undesir ed operation.
4.0L Engine The 4.0L engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and pr ovide satisfac- tory fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded gasoline hav- ing an octane range of 87 to 89. The manu- facturer r ecommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance.
The manufacturer supports the use of r eformulated gaso- lines. Properly blended r eformulated gasolines will pro- vide excellent performance and durability of engine and fuel system components. Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE.
T o fix a Non-FFV vehicle inadvertently fueled once with E-85 perform the following: • drain the fuel tank (see your authorized dealer) • change the engine oil and oil filter • disconnect and reconnect the battery to r eset the engine controller memory More extensive r epairs will be required for pr olonged exposure to E-85 fuel.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
stopped in an open area with the engine r unning for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation system to force fr esh, outside air into the vehicle. • Guard against carbon monoxide with pr oper mainte- nance. Have the exhaust system inspected every time the vehicle is raised.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu- rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the Malfunction Indica- tor Light (MIL) to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
W ARNING! A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. Y ou could be burned. Always place gas containers on the ground while filling.
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar .
T ire Size The tire size on the label r epresents the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement tires must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Improper weight distributions can have an adverse af fect on the way your vehicle steers and handles, and the way the brakes operate. CAUTION! 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.
measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale. W ARNING! If the gross trailer weight is 3,500 lbs (1 587 kg) or more, it is mandatory to use a weight-distributing hitch to ensure stable handling of your vehicle.
Frontal Area The frontal ar ea is the maximum height and maximum width of the front of a trailer . T railer Sway Control The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed between th.

T railer Hitch Classification Y our vehicle is capable of towing trailers up to 2,000 lbs (907 kg) without added equipment or alterations to the standard equipment. Y our vehicle may be factory equipped for safe towing of trailers weighing over 2,000 lbs (907 kg) with the optional trailer tow prep package.
T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) The following chart provides the maximum trailer weight ratings towable for your given drivetrain. Engine/ T ransmission Model Frontal Area Max GTW (Gross T railer Wt) T ongue Wt. (See Note) 3.
When T owing T railers with Gross T railer W eight (GTW) between 3,500 Lbs (1 588 kg) and 5,000 Lbs (2 268 kg) The following chart provides maximum trailer weight ratings towable for the following engine/transmission combinations, ONL Y if using a weight distributing hitch.
T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or authorized dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements — T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressures ar e essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to the T ires–General Information section of this manual on T ire Pr essures for proper tir e inflation procedures.
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.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle, but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing up the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic. T owing T ips — Automatic T ransmission The “D” range can be selected when towing. However , if frequent shifting occurs while in this range, the T OW/ HAUL button should be selected.
T owing T ips — Cooling System T o reduce potential for engine and transmission over - heating, take the following actions: − City Driving When stopped for short periods of time, put the trans- mission in NEUTRAL and increase engine idle speed. − Highway Driving Reduce speed.
T owing — 4WD or All-Wheel Drive Models CAUTION! Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing. Recreational towing (all four wheels on the ground) Recreational towing is NOT allowed.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEA TS In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating your engine by taking the appropriate action. • On the highways — slow down. • In city traffic — while stopped, put transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
Spare Tire Removal Fit the jack handle extension over the drive nut. Use the lug wrench to r otate the nut counterclockwise until the spare is on the gr ound with enough slack in the cable to allow you to pull the tire out fr om under the vehicle. CAUTION! The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only .
Preparations For Jacking 1. Park the vehicle on a firm level surface. A void icy or slippery areas. W ARNING! Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough of f the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Set the parking brake firmly and set an automatic transmission in P ARK; a manual transmission in REVERSE. • Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack. • Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
4. Locate the jack as shown. For the front tir es, place it in the notch on the body weld seam behind wheel to be changed. For the rear tir es, place it under the axle by the wheel to be changed. Position the jack handle on the jack. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
JUMP-ST ARTING W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or cloth- ing. Don’t lean over battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other . If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the contami- nated area immediately with large quantities of water .
5. Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the engine of the vehicle with the discharged battery . Make sure you have a good contact on the engine. W ARNING! • Do not connect the cable to the negative post of the discharge battery .
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Proper towing or lifting equipment is r equired to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use of safety chains is recom- mended. Attach towing device to main structural mem- bers of the vehicle not to bumpers or associated brack- ets.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
Loose Fuel Filler Cap Message After fuel is added, the vehicle diagnostic system can determine if the fuel filler cap is possibly loose, improp- erly installed, or damaged. A loose fuel filler cap message will be displayed in the instrument cluster . T ighten the gas cap until a ⬙ clicking ⬙ sound is heard.
Y our vehicle has a simple ignition key-actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. T o check if your vehicle’s OBD II system is ready , you must do the following: 1. Insert your ignition key into the ignition switch. 2. T urn the ignition to the ON position, but do not crank or start the engine.
Regardless of whether your vehicle’s OBD II system is r eady or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running.
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides the maintenance items for which there ar e fixed maintenance intervals, there ar e other items that should operate satisfactorily without periodic maintenance.
Change Engine Oil Refer to the Maintenance Schedule in Section 8 for the proper maintenance intervals. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change in- tervals exceed 6,000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months, whichever comes first.
Lubricants which do not have both the engine oil certi- fication mark and the correct SAE viscosity grade num- ber should not be used. Engine Oil V iscosity (4.0L Engine) SAE 10W -30 engine oil is preferr ed. SAE 5W -30 engine oil is allowed during cold weather only to improve cold weather starting.
NOTE: For best access to the oil filter , a drive on hoist should be used instead of a chassis hoist (3.7L Only). Engine Oil Filter Selection All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter . Use a filter of this type for replace- ment.
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 acid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing.
Air Conditioner Maintenance For best possible performance, your air conditioner should be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the start of each warm season. This service should include cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubri- cated periodically with a lithium based grease such as MOP AR 威 Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy opera- tion and to protect against r ust and wear .
W ARNING! Commercial windshield washer solvents are flam- mable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
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.
Engine Coolant Checks Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fr esh engine coolant (anti- freeze).
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than the specified HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) may result in decreased corrosion protection and engine damage.
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 precaution. 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.
When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill. Points to Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/ kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install only the correct type thermostat. Other designs may r esult in unsatisfactory cooling performance, poor gas mile- age, 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 may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking.
