Washing



Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash your

vehicle in the shade using Mopar® Car Wash, or

a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels

completely with water.



If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have

accumulated on your vehicle, use Mopar®

Super Kleen Bug and Tar Remover to remove.



Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as Mopar®

Cleaner Wax to remove road film, stains and to

protect your paint finish. Use precautions to not

scratch the paint.



Avoid using abrasive compounds and power

buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out

the paint finish.

Special Care



If you drive on salted or dusty roads or if you

drive near the ocean, hose off the undercarriage

at least once a month.



It is important that the drain holes in the lower

edges of the doors, rocker panels, and trunk be

kept clear and open.



If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the

paint, touch them up immediately.



If your vehicle is damaged due to a collision or

similar cause that destroys the paint and protec

tive coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon

as possible.



If you carry special cargo such as chemicals,

fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such

materials are well packaged and sealed.



If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads,

consider mud or stone shields behind each

wheel.



Use Mopar® Touch Up Paint on scratches as

soon as possible. An authorized dealer has

touch up paint to match the color of your

vehicle.

ABRIC

ARTS

Use Mopar® Total Clean to clean fabric upholstery

and carpeting.

Seat Belt Maintenance

Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical

solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the

fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution

or lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from

the vehicle to wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric. Replace

the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the

buckles do not work properly.

CAUTION!



Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning mate

rials such as steel wool or scouring powder

that will scratch metal and painted surfaces.



Use of power washers exceeding 1,200 psi

(8,274 kPa) can result in damage or removal

of paint and decals.

WARNING!

Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning

purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and

if used in closed areas they may cause

respiratory harm.

EATHER

URFACES

Mopar® Total Clean is specifically recommended

for leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved by

regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small

particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and damage

the leather upholstery and should be removed

promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn soils can be

removed easily with a soft cloth and Mopar® Total

Clean. Care should be taken to avoid soaking your

leather upholstery with any liquid. Please do not

use polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents,

detergents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean

your leather upholstery.

NOTE:

If equipped with light colored leather, it tends to

show any foreign material, dirt, and fabric dye

transfer more so than darker colors. The leather is

designed for easy cleaning, and the manufacturer

recommends Mopar® Total Clean leather cleaner

applied on a cloth to clean the leather seats as

needed.

LASS

URFACES

All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular

basis with Mopar® Glass Cleaner, or any

commercial household-type glass cleaner. Never

use an abrasive type cleaner. Use caution when

cleaning the inside rear window equipped with

electric defrosters or windows equipped with radio

antennas. Do not use scrapers or other sharp

instruments that may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray cleaner

on the towel or cloth that you are using. Do not

spray cleaner directly on the mirror.

WARNING!

A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a

collision and leave you with no protection.

Inspect the seat belt system periodically,

checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.

Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.

Do not disassemble or modify the seat belt

system. If your vehicle is involved in a collision,

or if you have questions regarding seat belt or

retractor conditions, take your vehicle to an

authorized FCA dealer or authorized FCA

Certified Collision Care Program facility for

inspection.

CAUTION!



Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repel

lents, suntan lotions, or hand sanitizers to the

plastic, painted, or decorated surfaces of the

interior may cause permanent damage. Wipe

away immediately.



TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (VIN)

The VIN is found on the left front corner of the

instrument panel. The VIN is visible from outside of

the vehicle through the windshield.

Vehicle Identification Number

NOTE:

It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.

BRAKE SYSTEM

Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake

systems. If either of the two hydraulic systems lose

normal capability, the remaining system will still

function. However, there will be some loss of

overall braking effectiveness. You may notice

increased pedal travel during application, greater

pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential

activation of the Brake Warning Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (i.e.,

repeated brake applications with the engine OFF)

the brakes will still function. However, the effort

required to brake the vehicle will be much greater

than that required with the power system

operating.

WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS

Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to

ensure that the wheel is properly mounted to the

vehicle. Any time a wheel has been removed and

reinstalled on the vehicle, the lug nuts/bolts

should be torqued using a properly calibrated

torque wrench using a six-sided (hex) deep wall

socket.

ORQUE

PECIFICATIONS

**Use only authorized dealer recommended lug nuts/

bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.

Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to

mounting the tire and remove any corrosion or

loose particles.

Wheel Mounting Surface

Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until

each nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure

that the socket is fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt

(do not insert it halfway).

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

While operating on gasoline with the required

octane number, hearing a light knocking sound from

the engine is not a cause for concern. However, if

the engine is heard making a heavy knocking sound,

see a dealer immediately. Use of gasoline with a

lower than recommended octane number can

cause engine failure and may void or not be covered

by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as

hard starting, stalling, and hesitations. If you

experience these symptoms, try another brand of

gasoline before considering service for the vehicle.

2.0L E

NGINE

This engine is designed to meet all

emission requirements, and provide

satisfactory fuel economy and

performance, when using unleaded

regular gasoline having an octane rating of 87, as

specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of 91 or

higher octane premium gasoline will allow these

engines to operate to optimal performance. This

increase in performance is most noticeable in hot

weather or other heavier load conditions, such as

while towing.

2.4L A

3.2L E

NGINES

These engines are designed to meet all

emission regulations and provide

optimum fuel economy and performance

when using unleaded regular gasoline

having a posted octane number of 87 as specified

by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of higher octane

premium gasoline is not required, as it will not

provide any benefit over regular gasoline in these

engines.

EFORMULATED

ASOLINE

Many areas of the country require the use of

cleaner-burning gasoline referred to as

“reformulated gasoline”. Reformulated gasoline

contains oxygenates and are specifically blended

to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air

quality.
The use of reformulated gasoline is recommended.

Properly blended reformulated gasoline will

provide improved performance and durability of

engine and fuel system components.

ASOLINE

XYGENATE

LENDS

Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with

oxygenates such as ethanol.

WARNING!

To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the

jack, do not tighten the lug nuts/bolts fully until

the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow

this warning may result in personal injury.

CAUTION!

DO NOT use E-85, gasoline containing methanol,

or gasoline containing more than 15% ethanol

(E-15). Use of these blends may result in starting

and drivability problems, damage critical fuel

system components, cause emissions to exceed

the applicable standard, and/or cause the

Malfunction Indicator Light to illuminate. Please

observe pump labels as they should clearly

communicate if a fuel contains greater than

15% ethanol (E-15).

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

301

Problems that result from using gasoline

containing more than 15% ethanol (E-15) or

gasoline containing methanol are not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and may void

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

-F

LEX

UEL

EHICLES

Non-Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) are compatible with

gasoline containing up to 15% ethanol (E-15). Use

of gasoline with higher ethanol content may void

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with

E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these

symptoms:



Operate in a lean mode.



OBD II Malfunction Indicator Light on.



Poor engine performance.



Poor cold start and cold drivability.



Increased risk for fuel system component corro

sion.

ODIFICATIONS

Modifications that allow the engine to run on

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) or Liquid Propane

(LP) may result in damage to the engine,

emissions, and fuel system components. Problems

that result from running CNG or LP are not the

responsibility of the manufacturer and may void

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

ETHYLCYCLOPENTADIENYL

ANGANESE

RICARBONYL

(MMT) I

ASOLINE

MMT is a manganese-containing metallic additive

that is blended into some gasoline to increase

octane. Gasoline blended with MMT provides no

performance advantage beyond gasoline of the

same octane number without MMT. Gasoline

blended with MMT reduces spark plug life and

reduces emissions system performance in some

vehicles. The manufacturer recommends that

gasoline without MMT be used in your vehicle. The

MMT content of gasoline may not be indicated on

the gasoline pump; therefore, you should ask the

gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains

MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal and California

reformulated gasoline.

ATERIALS

DDED

UEL

Besides using unleaded gasoline with the proper

octane rating, gasolines that contain detergents,

corrosion and stability additives are

recommended. Using gasolines that have these

additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce

emissions, and maintain vehicle performance.

Designated TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline

contains a higher level of detergents to

further aide in minimizing engine and

fuel system deposits. When available,

the usage of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is

recommended. Visit www.toptiergas.com for a list

of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Retailers.
Indiscriminate use of fuel system cleaning agents

should be avoided. Many of these materials

intended for gum and varnish removal may contain

active solvents or similar ingredients. These can

harm fuel system gasket and diaphragm materials.

NOTE:

Intentional tampering with the emissions control system can result in civil penalties being assessed against you.

FLUID CAPACITIES

CAUTION!

Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance:



The use of leaded gasoline is prohibited by Federal law. Using leaded gasoline can impair engine performance and damage the emissions control system.



An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or some

light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may require immediate service. Contact an authorized dealer for service assistance.



The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of these products contain high concentrations of meth

anol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels or additives is not the responsibility of the manufacturer

and may void or not be covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
