SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM— IF EQUIPPED The system monitors the doors, trunk key cylinder , and ignition for unauthorized operation. If something triggers the alarm, the system will signal for up to 18 minutes. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights, park and tail lights and the SET light will flash.
3. The SET light on the top of the instrument panel will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This shows that the system is arming. If the light comes on but does not flash, the system is still armed, but there is a problem in the trunk circuit. After 16 seconds the SET light will continue to flash slowly .
POWER WINDOWS W indow controls on the driver’s door control all door windows. The driver’s window switch has an Auto Down feature. Press the window switch past the detent, release, and the window will go down automatically . Press the switch a second time in either direction to stop the window .
TRUNK SAFETY W ARNING W ARNING! Do not allow children to have access to the trunk, either by climbing into the trunk from outside, or through the inside of the vehicle. Always close the trunk lid when your vehicle is unattended. Once in the trunk, young children may not be able to escape, even if they entered through the rear seat.
Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your r estraint system properly to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible. W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up.
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.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of your seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt 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.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o r emove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt, as shown. 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.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pregnancy . 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 across the hips as possible.
Driver and Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) - Airbag This vehicle has front airbags for both the driver and front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the center of the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers are designed to open only when the airbags are inflated.
be secured in the rear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats appropriate for the size and age of the child. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the rear seat.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • ACM (Airbag Control Module) • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver and Passenger Front Airbags • Optional Driver and Passenger Side Airbags.
then turns the light off. If it detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the light either momentarily or continuously . W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG light in your instrument panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
floor . They are not caused by contact with chemicals. They are not permanent and normally heal quickly . However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles.
• The side impact airbag control module monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system when- ever the ignition switch is in the “ST AR T” or “RUN” positions. These include all of the items listed above except for the AIRBAG light (which is controlled by the frontal airbag system).
Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready for your protection in an impact. While the airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .
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 rearwar d-facing: infant carriers and “convertible” child seats.
Standards. W e also recommend that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats where you will use it before you buy it. • The restraint must be appropriate for your child’s weight and height. Check the label on the restraint for weight and height limits.
Children T oo Large For Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seatback, should use the lap/shoulder belt in the rear seat.
Installing the LA TCH-Compatible Child Restraint System W e urge that you carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Not all child r estraint systems will be installed as described her e. Again, carefully follow the installation instructions that were provided with the child restraint system.

If your vehicle is equipped with adjust- able rear head restraints, raise the head restraint and, where possible, route the tether strap under the head restraint and between the two posts.
plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a different seating position. T o attach a child restraint tether strap: 1. Lift the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.
Pets should be restrained in the rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by seat belts. ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS The engine in your new vehicle does not requir e a long break-in period. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km).
• T o avoid drawing exhaust gases into the vehicle, close the trunk while driving. However , if for some reason it must remain open, close all windows. Adjust the heating or cooling system to force outside air into the vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat build up may cause serious injury or death. The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL or P ARK position before you can start the engine.
If Engine Fails T o Start CAUTION! Do not try to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Y our vehicle cannot be started this way . Pushing with another vehicle may damage the trans- axle or the rear of your vehicle. See Section 6 of this manual for the proper jump starting procedures.
After Starting The idle speed will automatically decrease as the engine warms up. At cooler ambient temperatures, the idle speed for the 2.7L engine may increase during extended idles for improved heater performance. ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — Optional U.
T ransaxle Reset Mode The transaxle is monitored for abnormal conditions. If a condition is detected that could cause damage, the trans- axle automatically shifts into second gear . The transaxle remains in second gear despite the forward gear selected.
W ARNING! Never use the Park position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. “R” Reverse Shift into this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
“L” Low This range should be used for maximum engine braking when descending steep grades. In this range, up-shifts will occur only to prevent engine over speed while down shifts occur as early as possible. P ARKING BRAKE When the parking brake is applied with the ignition on, the r ed Brake light in the instrument cluster will come on.
When parking on a hill, you must set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park. If you don’t, the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of Park. As an added precaution, turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with power brakes as standard equipment. In the event you lose power assist for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
All vehicle wheels and tires must be the same size and tires must be properly inflated to produce accurate signals for the ABS computer . However , the system will compensate when the compact spare is in use. During stops where ABS is activated, a vibration of the brake pedal may be felt and associated system noises may be heard.
• The system has been deactivated to prevent damage to the brake system due to overheated brake temperatures. NOTE: Extended heavy use of T raction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the T raction Control OFF Light, indicated by TRAC OFF , located in the instrument cluster .
2. Economy— Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will r educe tr ead life r esulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Under inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
period. The cold inflation pressur e must not exceed the maximum values molded into the tire side wall. T ire pressur e may increase from 2 to 6 psi [.13 to.41 bars](14 to 41 kPa) during operation. Do NOT r educe this normal pr essure build up or your tir e pr essure will be too low .
Compact Spare Tire Maintain the compact spare tire inflation pressure at 60 psi [4.1 bars](414 kPa). Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h) while the compact spare is installed on the vehicle. Do not install a wheel cover or attempt to mount a conventional tire on the compact spare wheel, since the wheel is designed specifically for the compact spare.
Tire Spinning When stuck in mud, sand, snow , or ice conditions, do not spin your vehicle’s wheels above 30 mph. (48 km/h). See the paragraph on Freeing A Stuck V ehicle in section 6 of this manual. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure.
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are 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 tread grooves and will appear as bands when the tread depth becomes 1/16 inch (2 mm).
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some 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.
Rotate your tires at intervals shown on the maintenance schedules. More frequent rotation is permissible if de- sired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected before rotating. The suggested rotation method is the “forward-cross” shown in the diagram.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine. However , continued heavy spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and should be reported to your dealer immediately . Engine damage resulting from operating with a heavy spark knock may not be covered by the new vehicle warranty .
CAUTION! DO NOT use gasolines containing Methanol. Use of these blends may result in starting and driveability problems and may damage critical fuel system com- ponents. Problems that result from using methanol/gasoline blends are not the responsibility of the manufactur er and may not be cover ed by the vehicle warranty .
unleaded gasoline having lower sulfur to determine if the problem is fuel related prior to returning your vehicle to an authorized dealer for service. CAUTION! If the Malfunction Indicator Light is flashing, imme- diate service is required. See the On Board Diagnos- tics paragraph in the Maintenance section of this manual.
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. Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door , on the passen- ger’s side of the vehicle.
VEHICLE LOADING The load carrying capacity of your vehicle is shown in the following sample chart and on the tire pressur e label attached to the driver’s door . V ehicle Loading Capacities Front Seat Occupants .................... 2 o r 3 Rear Seat Occupants .
NOTE: Using the “3” range while operating the vehicle under heavy operating conditions will improve perfor- mance and extend transaxle life by reducing excessive shifting and heat build up. • For vehicles equipped with autostick, by using the autostick mode, and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be avoided.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II) T o meet new government regulations and promote cleaner air , your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transaxle control systems.
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS In some localities, it may be a legal requir ement to pass an inspection of your vehicle’s emissions control system.
If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your authorized dealer or repair facility . If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing mor e than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD system to update.
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
The best time to check the oil level is about 5 minutes after a fully warmed up engine is shut off or before starting the engine after it has sat overnight.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level gr ound also will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Maintain the oil level between the MIN and MAX markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the MIN mark will result in a MAX reading on these engines.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather above 90°F (32°C) • T railer towing • T axi, police, or delivery service (commer cial operation) • Off road or .
American Petroleum Institute (API) Engine Oil Identification Symbol This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). W e only recommend API Certified en- gine oils that meet the requir e- ments of DaimlerChrysler’s Mate- rial Standar d MS-6395.
The proper SAE viscosity grade of engine oil should be selected based on the following recommendations and be within the operating temperature shown in the engine oil viscosity charts. SAE 10W -30 oil is pr eferred for use in 3.5L engines within the operating temperatures shown in the viscosity chart.
on how and where used oil can be safely discarded in your area. Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced at every engine oil change. Engine Oil Filter Selection All of this manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter .
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to seek service to assur e proper catalyst operation and prevent possible catalyst damage. If the Malfunction Indicator light is flashing, immediate service is requir ed.
Engine T iming Belt Replace the engine timing belt at the intervals described in the appropriate maintenance schedule. Crankcase Emission Control System Proper operation of this system depends on freedom from sticking or plugging due to deposits. As vehicle mileage builds up, the PCV valve and passages may accumulate deposits.
Maintenance-Free Battery The top of the MAINTENANCE-FREE battery is perma- nently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed. NOTE: The battery is stored in a compartment in front of the tire in the right front fender and is accessible through the engine compartment.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked positive (+) and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
Power Steering Fluid Check W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturer’s recommended power steer- ing fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct fluid type.
Chassis Lubrication Front Suspension Ball Joints Inspect these ball joints whenever your vehicle is ser- viced. They are permanently lubricated and do not requir e periodic lubrication. Steering Linkage Inspect tie rod ends whenever the vehicle is serviced.
Hood Latch When performing other under hood services, the hood latch release mechanism and safety catch should be inspected, cleaned, and lubricated. It is important to maintain proper lubrication to insure that the hood mechanisms work properly and safely .
• T runk latches • Ash tray • Door Check Straps 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 . This will remove accumula- tions of salt or road film.
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a pr operly maintained engine exhaust system. If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if.
Cooling System W ARNING! • When working near the radiator cooling fan, dis- connect the fan motor lead or turn the ignition key to the OFF position. The fan is temperature con- trolled and can start at any time the ignition key is in the ON position.
coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. Prevent ingestion by animals or children. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately . Selection Of Coolant Use only the manufacturer’s recommended coolant. Re- fer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for the correct coolant type.
W ARNING! The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety precaution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an over- heated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
Points to Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front of the engine compartment.
Pay particular attention to those hoses nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect hose routing to be sure hoses do not touch any heat source or moving component that may cause heat damage or mechanical wear . Insure nylon tubing in these areas has not melted or collapsed.
NOTE: Often, fluids such as oil, power steering fluid, and brake fluid are used during assembly plant operations to ease the assembly of hoses to couplings.
W ARNING! 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 pro- longed braking. Y ou could have an accident. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter .
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the manufacturer will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level T o pr operly check the automatic transaxle fluid level, the following procedure must be used: • The vehicle must be on level ground. • The engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds.
CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transaxle can cause serious damage. T o prevent dirt and water from entering the transaxle after checking or replen- ishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is seated properly .
The following maintenance recommendations will enable you to obtain maximum benefit from the corrosion resistance built into your vehicle. What Causes Corrosion? Corrosion is the result of deterioration or removal of paint and protective coatings from your vehicle.
• It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors, rocker panels and rear deck lid be kept clear and open. • If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner .
CAUTION! The use of vinyl, leather or plastic protectants may cause excessive gloss and/or discoloration of interior trim parts. Leather Seat Care and Cleaning Leather is best preserved by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic. • Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
