Brake Warning Light The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. the anti-lock brake system reservoir. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary. 3 16 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING! The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position. Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required . The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located. The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position. 14.

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 using replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result. 16. Odometer Display/Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) Display U.S. Federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. If your odometer needs to be repaired or serviced, the repair technician should leave the odometer reading the same as it was before the repair or service. If s/he cannot do so, then the odometer must be set at zero, and a sticker must be placed in the door jamb stating what the mileage was before the repair or service. It is a good idea for you to make a record of the odometer reading before the repair/ service, so that you can be sure that it is properly reset, or that the door jamb sticker is accurate if the odometer must be reset at zero.

Fuel Specifications • If you accidentally fill the fuel tank with gasoline on your diesel vehicle, do not start the vehicle. If you restart your vehicle you risk damage the engine and fuel system. Please call your authorized dealer for service. • A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D-975 may be used with your diesel engine without any adjustments to regular service schedules. • Commercially available fuel additives are not necessary for the proper operation of your diesel engine. This diesel engine has been developed to take advantage of the high energy content and generally lower cost No. 2 • No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel should only be used Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel or No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur where extended arctic conditions (-10°F or -23°C) exist. 4 46 STARTING AND OPERATING Biodiesel Fuel Requirements CAUTION! A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM specification D975 is recommended for use with your diesel engine. If frequent operation with Biodiesel blends are greater than 5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20) is desired, the maintenance schedule is subject to shorter intervals. Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends greater than 5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20) will result in premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The oil and filter change along with fuel filter replacement is subject to shorter intervals when operating your engine on biodiesel greater than 5%. Do not use biodiesel greater than 20%. Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl Ester (SME or SOME) base). For regular use of biodiesel blends greater than 5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20) it is important that you understand and comply with these requirements. Refer to the “Maintenance Chart” in the “Maintenance Schedules” section for further direction. Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which require that you understand and adhere to the following requirements if you use blends of Biodiesel greater than 5% but not greater than 20% (B6–B20). There are no unique restrictions for the use of B5. STARTING AND OPERATING 47 CAUTION! Use of blends greater than 20% is not approved. Use of blends greater than 20% can result in engine damage. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Biodiesel Fuel Properties — Low Ambient Temperatures Biodiesel fuel may gel or solidify at low ambient temperatures, which may pose problems for both storage and operation. Precautions can be necessary at low ambient temperatures, such as storing the fuel in a heated building or a heated storage tank, or using cold temperature additives. Fuel Quality — Must Comply With ASTM Standards The quality of Biodiesel fuel may vary widely. Only fuel produced by a BQ9000 supplier to the following specifications may be blended to meet Biodiesel blend B6 – B20 fuel meeting ASTM specification D-7467: • Petrodiesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 and Biodiesel fuel (B100) meeting ASTM specification D-6751 Fuel Oxidation Stability — Must Use Fuel Within Six Months Of Manufacture Biodiesel fuel has poor oxidation stability which can result in long term storage problems. Fuel produced to approved ASTM standards, if stored properly, provides for protection against fuel oxidation for up to six months. 4 48 STARTING AND OPERATING Fuel Water Separation — Must Use Mopar Approved Fuel Filter Elements Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water accelerates microbial growth. Your Mopar filtration system is designed to provide adequate fuel water separation capabilities. Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required Oil Change Interval Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%. To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must be maintained with in the suggested schedule. The regular use of biofuels greater than 5% and less than 20% require intervals shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles and must not exceed the suggested schedule. When routinely operating on biofuels greater that 5% and less than 20%, oil and filter replacement intervals must not exceed 8,000 Miles or 6 months, which ever comes first. Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals The use of biofuels require intervals shorter than the outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed the suggested schedule. When operating on biofuels greater that 5% and less than 20%, fuel filter replacement intervals must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km). NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change intervals exceed 8,000 miles (12 875 km) or 6 months, if regular operation occurs with greater than 5% and less than 20% biodiesel blends. Under no circumstances should fuel filter intervals exceed 20,000 miles (40 233 km), if regular operation occurs with greater than 5% and less than 20% biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with these Oil Change and fuel filter requirements for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The engine may suffer severe damage if operated with concentrations of biodiesel higher than 20%.

This includes driver, passengers, cargo and tongue weight. The total load must be limited so that you do not WARNING! 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. If you (Continued) 4 50 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! (Continued) WARNING! use a standard weight-carrying hitch, you could lose control of your vehicle and cause a collision. It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GAWR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. You could lose control of the vehicle and have a collision. Gross Combination Weight Rating (GCWR) The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle Tongue Weight (TW) and trailer when weighed in combination.

Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) STARTING AND OPERATING 51 Trailer Sway Control Weight-Distributing Hitch The trailer sway control can be a mechanical telescoping link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associated with the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling. A weight-distributing system works by applying leverage through spring (load) bars. They are typically used for heavier loads to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s). When used in accordance with the manufacturer’s directions, it provides for a more level ride, offering more consistent steering and brake control thereby enhancing towing safety. The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and crosswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability. Trailer sway control and a weight distributing (load equalizing) hitch are recommended for heavier Tongue Weights (TW) and may be required depending on vehicle and trailer configuration/loading to comply with Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) requirements. If equipped, the electronic Trailer Sway Control (TSC) recognizes a swaying trailer and automatically applies individual wheel brakes and/or reduces engine power to attempt to eliminate the trailer sway. Weight-Carrying Hitch A weight-carrying hitch supports the trailer tongue weight, just as if it were luggage located at a hitch ball or some other connecting point of the vehicle. These kinds of hitches are the most popular on the market today and they are commonly used to tow small and medium sized trailers. 4 52 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! • An improperly adjusted Weight Distributing Hitch system may reduce handling, stability, braking performance, and could result in a collision. • Weight Distributing Systems may not be compatible with Surge Brake Couplers. Consult with your hitch and trailer manufacturer or a reputable Recreational Vehicle dealer for additional information. Trailer Hitch Classification The following chart provides the industry standard for the maximum trailer weight a given trailer hitch class can tow and should be used to assist you in selecting the correct trailer hitch for your intended towing condition. Trailer Hitch Classification Definitions Class Max. Trailer Hitch Industry Standards Class I - Light Duty 2,000 lbs (907 kg) Class II - Medium Duty 3,500 lbs (1 587 kg) Class III - Heavy Duty 5,000 lbs (2 268 kg) Class IV - Extra Heavy 10,000 lbs (4 540 kg) Duty Refer to the “Trailer Towing Weights (Maximum Trailer Weight Ratings)” chart for the Maximum Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) towable for your given drivetrain.

The addition of passengers and cargo may require reducing trailer tongue load and Gross Trailer Weight (GTW). Redistributing cargo (to the trailer) may be necessary to avoid exceeding Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) of 3,700 lbs (1 678 kg). 4 54 STARTING AND OPERATING Trailer And Tongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% of the weight in the front of the trailer. This places 10% of the GTW on the tow hitch of your vehicle. Loads balanced over the wheels or heavier in the rear can cause the trailer to sway severely side to side which will cause loss of control of the vehicle and trailer. Failure to load trailers heavier in front is the cause of many trailer collisions. Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your 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 • The weight of the driver and all passengers STARTING AND OPERATING 55 NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle. Refer to “Tire Safety Information/Tire and Loading Information Placard” in “Starting and Operating” for further information. CAUTION! (Continued) • Then, during the first 500 miles (805 km) that a trailer is towed, do not drive over 50 mph (80 km/h) and do not make starts at full throttle. This helps the engine and other parts of the vehicle wear in at the heavier loads. Perform the maintenance listed in the “Maintenance Schedule.” Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the To promote proper break-in of your new vehicle drivetrain proper maintenance intervals. When towing a trailer, components, the following guidelines are recommended. never exceed the GAWR or GCWR ratings.

(Continued) 4 56 STARTING AND OPERATING WARNING! WARNING! (Continued) Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • 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. You could lose control of your vehicle and have a collision. • When hauling cargo or towing a trailer, do not overload your vehicle or trailer. Overloading can cause a loss of control, poor performance or damage to brakes, axle, engine, transmission, steering, suspension, chassis structure or tires. (Continued) • Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer. Always connect the chains to the hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • Vehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle transmission in PARK. For four-wheel drive vehicles, make sure the transfer case is not in NEUTRAL. Always, block or ⴖchockⴖ the trailer wheels. • GCWR must not be exceeded. (Continued) STARTING AND OPERATING 57 WARNING!

It can overload your brake system and cause it to fail. You might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. • Towing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When towing you should allow for additional space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you. Failure to do so could result in an accident. 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. • Do not interconnect the hydraulic brake system or vacuum system of your vehicle with that of the trailer. This could cause inadequate braking and possible personal injury. • An electronically actuated trailer brake controller is required when towing a trailer with electronically actuated brakes. When towing a trailer equipped with a hydraulic surge actuated brake system, an electronic brake controller is not required. • Trailer brakes are recommended for trailers over 1,000 lbs (454 kg) and required for trailers in excess of 1,653 lbs (750 kg).

Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the first and only technology in decades to be as good for the environment as it is good for business and vehicle performance. This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission requirements. The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an almost near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized, convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), two natural components of the air we breathe. You can operate with the comfort that your vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier world environment for this and generations to come. The DEF injection system consists of the following components: • DEF tank • DEF pump • DEF injector • Electronically-heated DEF lines • NOx sensors • Temperature sensors • SCR catalyst STARTING AND OPERATING 63 The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the ADDING FUEL achievement of diesel emissions requirements; while 1.

Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for system messages and warnings. NOTE: • Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injection system. You may occasionally hear an audible clicking noise from under the vehicle at a stop. This is normal operation. • The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF system. This is Fuel Filler Door Release Switch normal operation and may be audible from the rear of 2. Open the fuel filler door. the vehicle. 4 64 STARTING AND OPERATING NOTE: There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside the filler pipe seals the system. 3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe – the nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while refueling. 4. Fill the vehicle with fuel – when the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off the fuel tank is full. 5. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door. Emergency Fuel Can Refueling Fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location 1 — Fuel Fill Location 2 — Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location Most fuel cans will not open the flapper door.

Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the spare tire kit. 66 STARTING AND OPERATING CAUTION! To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. WARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and may cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light” to turn on. • A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling. Avoid Using Contaminated Fuel Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can cause severe damage to the engine fuel system. Proper maintenance of the engine fuel filter and fuel tank is essential. Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. Bulk Fuel Storage — Diesel Fuel If you store quantities of fuel, good maintenance of the stored fuel is also essential. Fuel contaminated with water will promote the growth of “microbes.” These microbes form “slime” that will clog the fuel filtration system and lines. Drain condensation from the supply tank and change the line filter on a regular basis. NOTE: When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of fuel, air is pulled into the fuel system. STARTING AND OPERATING 67 If the vehicle will not start, refer to “Maintenance DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest temperatures. Procedures/Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel” For example, DEF may freeze at temperatures at or below in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. 12° F (-11° C). The system has been designed to operate in this environment. WARNING! Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death. Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage NOTE: When working with DEF, it is important to know that: • Any containers or parts that come into contact with DEF must be DEF compatible (plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or non-stainless steel should be avoided as they are subject to corrosion by DEF. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable • If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up completely. product with a long shelf life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° and 90°F (-12° and 32°C), it will last a minimum of one year. 4 68 STARTING AND OPERATING Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid 1. Remove cap from DEF fill inlet (located in fuel door). The DEF gauge (located on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display) will display the level of DEF remaining in the tank. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further information. NOTE: Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF that is used in your vehicle. DEF Fill Procedure NOTE: Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for the correct fluid type. Fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location 1 — Fuel Fill Location 2 — Diesel Exhaust Fluid Fill Location STARTING AND OPERATING 69 2. Insert DEF fill adapter/nozzle into DEF fill inlet. NOTE: • The DEF gauge may take up to five seconds to update after adding a gallon or more of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF tank. If you have a fault related to the DEF system, the gauge may not update to the new level. See your authorized dealer for service. • The DEF gauge may also not immediately update after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is below 12°F (-11°C). The DEF line heater will possibly warm up the DEF fluid and allow the gauge to update after a period of run time. Under very cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect the new fill level for several drives. CAUTION! • To avoid DEF spillage, and possible damage to the DEF tank from overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling. • DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze below 12ºF (-11ºC). The DEF system is designed to work in temperatures below the DEF freezing point, however, if the tank is overfilled and freezes, the system could be damaged. • When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or use an absorbent material to soak up and spills on the ground. • Do not attempt to start your engine if DEF is accidentally added to the diesel fuel tank as it can result in severe damage to your engine, including but not limited to failure of the fuel pump and injectors. 4 70 STARTING AND OPERATING 3. Stop filling the DEF tank immediately when any of the following happen: DEF stops flowing from the fill bottle into the DEF fill inlet, DEF splashes out the fill inlet, or a DEF pump nozzle automatically shuts off. 4. Reinstall cap onto DEF fill inlet.

(Continued) The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed maintenance schedule, there are other components which may require servicing or replacement in the future. CAUTION! • Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or perform repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle performance. Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an authorized Chrysler Group LLC dealership or qualified repair center. (Continued) • Your vehicle has been built with improved fluids that protect the performance and durability of your vehicle and also allow extended maintenance intervals. Do not use chemical flushes in these components as the chemicals can damage your engine, transmission, power steering or air conditioning. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. If a flush is needed because of component malfunction, use only the specified fluid for the flushing procedure. 5 74 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Engine Oil Engine Oil Selection For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer recommends engine oils that meet the requirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-11106, and that are approved to Fiat 9.55535-S1 or Fiat 9.55535-S3 and ACEA C3. Checking Oil Level To assure proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals. The best time to check the oil level is before starting the engine after it has been parked overnight. When checking oil after operating the engine, first ensure the engine is at full operating temperature, then wait for 30 minutes after engine shutdown to check the oil. 1 — MAX Mark 2 — MIN Mark MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 75 Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level readings. Add oil only when the level on the dipstick is below the “MIN” mark. The total capacity from the MIN mark to the MAX mark is 1.7 qts (1.6L). CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause oil aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. NOTE: It is possible for your oil level to be slightly higher than a previous check. This would be due to diesel fuel that may temporarily be in the crankcase due to operation of the diesel particulate filter regeneration strategy. This fuel will evaporate out under normal operation. Never operate the engine with oil level below the “MIN” mark or above the upper “MAX” mark. Change Engine Oil Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. Engine Oil Viscosity (SAE Grade) CAUTION! Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced technology Diesel Engine and an emission device designed to limit Diesel Particulate Emissions from being released into the atmosphere. The durability of your engine and life expectancy of this diesel particulate filter emission device is highly dependent on the use of the correct engine oil. 5 76 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Only use ACEA C3 SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Low Ash engine oil meeting Chrysler material standard MS-11106 or Pennzoil Ultra Euro L full synthetic 5W-30 motor oil, which is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil improves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy. Materials Added To Engine Oil The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product and its performance may be impaired by supplemental additives. Engine Oil Filter Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. The engine oil filter should be changed at every engine oil change. Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact your authorized dealer, service station or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discarded in your area. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 77 Engine Air Cleaner Filter WARNING! (Continued) Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper maintenance intervals. CAUTION! All air entering the engine intake must be filtered. The abrasive particles in unfiltered air will cause rapid wear to engine components. WARNING! The air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) provides a measure of protection. Do not remove the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) unless such removal is necessary for repair or maintenance. (Continued) Make sure that no one is near the engine compartment before starting the vehicle with the air induction system (air cleaner, hoses, etc.) removed. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. CAUTION! Many aftermarket performance air filter elements do not adequately filter the air entering the engine. Use of such filters can severely damage your engine. Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters varies considerably. Only high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient service. MOPAR® engine air cleaner filters are a high quality filter and are recommended. 5 78 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter The fuel filter/water separator housing is located on the left side of the vehicle in front of the fuel tank. The best access to this water drain valve is from under the vehicle. CAUTION! • Do not drain the fuel/water separator filters when the engine is running. • Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filters into an appropriate container. If water is detected in the water separator while the engine is running, or while the ignition switch is in the ON position, the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” will illuminate and an audible chime will be heard. At this point you should stop the engine and drain the water from the filter housing.

Cooling System WARNING! You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 85 Engine Coolant Checks With the engine at normal operating temperature (but not running), check the cooling system pressure cap for proper vacuum sealing by draining a small amount of engine coolant (antifreeze) from the radiator drain cock. The radiator drain cock is located in the lower radiator tank. If the cap is sealing properly, the engine coolant (antifreeze) will begin to drain from the coolant expansion bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT. Check the engine coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather, where applicable). If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh coolant. Check the front of the A/C condenser (if equipped) or radiator for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty, clean by gently spraying water from a garden hose vertically down the face of the A/C condenser (if equipped) or the back of the Cooling System — Drain Flush And Refill radiator core.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 91 Brake System Brake Master Cylinder — Brake Fluid Level Check The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked when performing under the hood service, or immediately if the “Brake System Warning Light” indicates system failure. The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic reservoir. On the outboard side of the reservoir, there is a “MAX” mark and a “MIN” mark. The fluid level must be kept within these two marks. Do not add fluid above the full mark because leakage may occur at the cap. With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake linings wear. However, an unexpected drop in fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check should be conducted. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. WARNING! • Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for further information. Using the wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your brake system and/or impair its performance. The proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle is also identified on the original factory installed hydraulic master cylinder reservoir. (Continued) 5 92 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING! (Continued) WARNING! (Continued) • To avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container. Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point. This may cause it to boil unexpectedly during hard or prolonged braking, resulting in sudden brake failure. This could result in a accident. • Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing the brake fluid to catch fire.

Mobile two-way radios and telephone equipment must be installed properly by trained personnel. The following must be observed during installation. The positive power connection should be made directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as possible. The negative power connection should be made to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery connection. This connection should not be fused. Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on vehicles so equipped. The antenna cable should be as short as practical and routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use only fully shielded coaxial cable. Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than normal may require special precautions.
