Press the top of the switch to raise the temperature selection and the bottom of the switch to lower it. The comfort setting range is from Low, 60, 61, Air Direction Buttons Mode These buttons allow you to select from five air distribu- tion patterns. These buttons should be used only when you can not achieve comfort or visibility in Auto opera- tion. A small amount of air also is directed through the floor outlets. Use this mode with maximum fan and comfort level settings for best windshield and side window defrosting.
Page Hot Weather Automatic Recirculation The system will automatically recirculate the air inside the vehicle when the interior is very warm. This will provide maximum cooling. The system will also occa- sionally return to REC on hot, humid or very hot, dry days to maintain occupant comfort.
This is a normal occurrence as the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain comfort and increase fuel economy. NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the air condition- ing condenser for an accumulation of dirt or insects. Air is directed through these outlets when you select either the Floor, Bi-Level, or Mix modes. Page NOTE: Do not use the recirculation mode as it will not clear windows under these conditions. Summer Operation Air conditioned vehicles must be protected with a high- quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corrosion protection and to raise the boiling point of the coolant for protection against overheating.
Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum may reduce air flow and plug the plenum water drains. Air Intake Page Vehicle Loading Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle. Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle.
This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury. Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle to get it started. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the volt AC electrical cord could cause electrocution. The transaxle electronics are self calibrat- ing; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt.
This is a normal condition, and preci- sion shifts will develop within a few shift cycles. Your vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P Park. Check by trying to move the gearshift lever back and forth without depressing the shift button after you have set it in P. Make sure it is in Park before leaving the vehicle. Push the release button and lower the lever fully. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the gear selector in Park, otherwise the load on the transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the selector out of Park.
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 effort required to brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required with the power system operating.
Pumping of the brake pedal will diminish the effec- tiveness of Anti-lock brakes and may lead to an accident. If for some reason the hydraulic pressure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort.
NOTE: Extended heavy use of Traction Control may cause the system to deactivate and turn on the traction control light located in the instrument cluster. Tires designed to this standard have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width.
The letter P is absent from this tire size designation. Tires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Page Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. 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.
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. Never overload them. Page Tire Inflation Pressures 2. Economy— Improper inflation pressures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread.
These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread life resulting in a need for earlier tire replacement. Underinflation also increases tire rolling resistance and results in higher fuel consumption. 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.
High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. You could have a serious accident. 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. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tire inflation pressure. The manu- facturer strongly recommends that you use tires equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed see the paragraph on tread wear indicators.
Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. Tire Rotation Recommendations Tires on the front and rear axles of vehicles operate at different loads and perform different steering, driving and braking functions. Autostick allows you to maximize engine brak- ing, eliminate undesirable upshifts and downshifts, and improve overall vehicle performance.
This system can also provide you with more control during passing, city driving, cold slippery conditions, mountain driving, trailer towing, and many other situations. Page Reformulated Gasoline Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as hard starting, stalling and hesitations.
Over 40 automobile manufacturers around the world have issued and endorsed consistent gasoline specifica- tions the World Wide Fuel Charter, WWFC to define fuel properties necessary to deliver enhanced emissions, engine performance, and durability for your vehicle. Most of these products contain high concentrations of methanol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives are not the responsibility of the manufacturer.
If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replacement cap is for use with this vehicle. Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel By using the Autostick modes, and selecting a specific gear range, frequent shifting can be avoided.
The highest gear range should be selected that allows for adequate performance. Ethanol vapors are extremely flammable and could cause serious personal injury. Never have any smok- ing materials lit in or near the vehicle when remov- ing the fuel filler tube cap gas cap or filling the tank. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting the specification MS Depress the switch and both cluster indicators and all front and rear direc- tional signals will flash.
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. Idle the vehicle in Park with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. Place the gear selector in PARK.
Page 1. Block wheel diagonally op- posite flat tire. Remove the spare tire, scissors jack and lug wrench from stowage. Before raising the vehicle, use lug wrench to carefully pry off wheel cover if equipped with steel wheels or center cap if equipped with aluminum wheels. Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire. Remove lug nuts and tire. Mount spare tire. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transaxle cannot be started this way.
Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle. Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and person injury could result.
Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the jump start attach- ment of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery. When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. This phenomenon occurs when there is a difference in the surface traction under the front driving wheels, particularly with high output engines. If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion.
Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Page 2. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems. When these systems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emis- sions well within current government regulations.
Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration. Page Replacement Parts b. The MIL will not flash at all and will remain fully illuminated until you turn off the ignition key or start the engine.
You 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. Overfilling or underfilling will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure.
This could damage your engine. Check the following list to decide if any apply to you. These engine oils are designed to improve low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to the engine oil filler cap for the preferred engine oil viscosity grade for each vehicle. 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.
Page NOTE: The battery is stored in a compartment behind the left front fender and is accessible without removing the tire and wheel. Remote battery terminals are located in the engine compartment for jump starting. Battery Location To access the battery, turn the steering wheel fully to the right and remove the inner fender shield. 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.
How- ever, the manufacturer recommends that air conditioning service be performed by dealers or other service facilities using recovery and recycling equipment. If necessary, add fluid to restore the proper indicated level. With a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Page Windshield Wiper Blades If you use a lubricant that cannot be dispensed directly into the lock cylinder, apply a small amount of the lubricant to the key.
Insert the key into the lock cylinder, then proceed as described above, to distribute the lubri- cant within the lock cylinder.
