STORING THE VEHICLE

If you are storing your vehicle for more than

3 weeks, we recommend that you take the

following steps to minimize the drain on your

vehicle's battery:



Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.



If your vehicle is equipped with Stop/Start

system then disconnect both the main and

supplemental negative battery cables.



Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of

service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more,

run the air conditioning system at idle for about

five minutes in the fresh air and high blower

setting. This will ensure adequate system lubri

cation to minimize the possibility of compressor

damage when the system is started again.



If assistance is needed to disconnect the

battery system, see an authorized dealer.

Battery Cable Disconnect

NOTE:



You must isolate the supplemental battery

connection point, as well as the main battery

terminal from the post, as shown in the image,

to fully de-energize both batteries for storage. If

assistance is needed to disconnect the battery

system, see an authorized dealer.



Do not disconnect the Intelligent Battery Sensor

(IBS), or your Stop/Start system may not func

tion for up to 24 hours, due to the IBS being set

into learn mode.

WARNING!



Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan

whenever the hood is raised. It can start

anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be

injured by moving fan blades.



Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,

watch bands and bracelets that could make

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be

seriously injured.



Vehicles with the Stop/Start system will be

equipped with two batteries. Both the main

and the supplemental batteries must be

disconnected to completely de-energize the

12 Volt electrical system.



Serious injury or death could result if you do

not disconnect both batteries. To learn how to

properly disconnect, see an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

If the negative battery cables are not isolated

properly it can cause a potential power spike or

surge in the system, resulting in damage to

essential electrical components.

BODYWORK

ROTECTION

ROM

TMOSPHERIC

GENTS

Vehicle body care requirements vary according to

geographic locations and usage. Chemicals that

make roads passable in snow and ice and those

that are sprayed on trees and road surfaces during

other seasons are highly corrosive to the metal in

your vehicle. Outside parking, which exposes your

vehicle to airborne contaminants, road surfaces on

which the vehicle is operated, extreme hot or cold

weather, and other extreme conditions will have an

adverse effect on paint, metal trim, and underbody

protection.
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.
The most common causes are:



Road salt, dirt and moisture accumulation



Stone and gravel impact.



Insects, tree sap and tar.



Salt in the air near seacoast localities.



Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.

AINTENANCE

Cleaning Headlights

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights

and fog lights that are lighter and less susceptible

to stone breakage than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and

therefore different lens cleaning procedures must

be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses

and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry

cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap

solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components,

solvents, steel wool, or other aggressive material

to clean the lenses.

RESERVING

ODYWORK

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 and 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.

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.

(Continued)



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.

Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models

To maintain the appearance of your vehicle's

interior trim and top, follow these precautions:



Do not run a fabric top through an automatic car

wash. Window scratches and wax build-up may

result.



Avoid leaving your vehicle unattended with the

top down, as exposure to sun or rain may

damage interior trim.



Do not use harsh cleaners or bleaching agents

on top material, as damage may result.



Do not allow any vinyl cleaner to run down and

dry on the paint, leaving a streak.



After cleaning your vehicle's fabric top, always

make sure it is completely dry before lowering.



Be especially careful when washing the

windows by following the directions for “Care of

Fabric Top Windows.”

Washing – Use Mopar® Car Wash or equivalent, or

mild soap suds, lukewarm water, and a brush with

soft bristles. If extra cleaning is required, use

Mopar® Convertible Cloth Top Cleaner or

equivalent, or a mild foaming cleaner on the entire

top, but support the top from underneath.
Rinsing – Be sure to remove all traces of cleaner by

rinsing the top thoroughly with clean water.

Remember to allow the top to dry before

lowering it.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these cautions may cause

interior water damage, stains, or mildew of the

top material:



Do not run a fabric top through an automatic

car wash. Window scratches and wax build-up

may result.



It is recommended that the top be free of

water prior to opening it. Operating the top,

opening a door or lowering a window while the

top is wet may allow water to drip into the

vehicle’s interior.



Use care when washing the vehicle, water

pressure directed at the weather strip seals

may cause water to leak into the vehicle’s

interior.



Careless handling and storage of the remov

able roof panels may damage the seals,

causing water to leak into the vehicle’s

interior.



The front panel(s) must be positioned properly

to ensure sealing. Improper installation can

cause water to leak into the vehicle’s interior.



Avoid (if at all possible) parking the vehicle

under trees; remove vegetable resins immedi

ately as, when dried, it may only be possible to

remove them with abrasive products and/or

polishes, which is highly inadvisable as they

could alter the typical opaqueness of the

paint.



Do not use pure windshield washer fluid for

cleaning the front windshield and rear

window; dilute it min. 50% with water. Only

use pure windshield washer fluid when strictly

necessary due to outside temperature

conditions.

CAUTION!

Care Of Fabric Top Windows

Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic

windows that can be scratched unless special care

is taken by following these directions:



Never use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead,

use a microfiber towel or soft cotton cloth moist

ened with cold or warm, clean water, and wipe

across the window, not up and down. Mopar®

Jeep® Soft Glass Window Cleaner or equivalent

will safely clean all the plastic windows without

scratching. It removes fine scratches to improve

visibility and provides UV protection to help

prevent yellowing.



When washing, never use hot water or anything

stronger than a mild soap. Never use solvents

such as alcohol or harsh cleaning agents.



Always rinse thoroughly with cold water, then

wipe with a soft and slightly moist, clean cloth.



When removing frost, snow, or ice, never use a

scraper or de-icing chemicals. Use warm water

only if you must clean the window quickly.



Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from

off-road driving will have an impact on plastic

retainer operation. Even normal on-road driving

and vehicle washing will eventually impact

window plastic retainer operation. To maintain

ease of use of the window plastic retainers,

each window plastic retainer should be cleaned

and lubricated regularly. Clean them with a mild

soap solution and a small brush. Cleaning prod

ucts are available through an authorized dealer.



Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any

tape to the windows. Adhesives are hard to

remove and may damage the windows.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS — GASOLINE ENGINE

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 an authorized dealer

immediately. Use of gasoline with an octane

number lower than recommended octane can

cause engine failure and may void 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.

3.6L E

NGINE

This engine is designed to meet all

emission regulations and provide

excellent fuel economy and performance

when using high-quality unleaded regular

gasoline having an octane rating of 87 as specified

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

premium gasoline 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.

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.

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 your

gasoline retailer whether the gasoline contains

MMT. MMT is prohibited in Federal law and

California reformulated gasoline.

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).

AUTIONS

NOTE:

Intentional tampering with the emissions control

system can result in civil penalties being assessed

against you.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS – DIESEL ENGINE

Federal law requires that you must fuel this vehicle

with Ultra Low Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm

Sulfur maximum) and prohibits the use of Low

Sulfur Highway Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur

maximum) to avoid damage to the emissions

control system.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable

supplier in your vehicle. For most year-round

service, Number 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM

(formerly known as the American Society for

Testing and Materials) specification D-975 Grade

S15 will provide good performance. If the vehicle is

exposed to extreme cold (below 20°F or -7°C), or

is required to operate at colder-than-normal

conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized

Number 2 diesel fuel or dilute the Number 2 diesel

fuel with 50% Number 1 diesel fuel. This will

provide better protection from fuel gelling or

wax-plugging of the fuel filters.

Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water.

To prevent fuel system trouble, drain the

accumulated water from the fuel/water separator

using the fuel/water separator drain provided on

the fuel filter housing. If you buy good quality fuel

and follow the cold weather advice above, fuel

conditioners should not be required in your vehicle.

If available in your area, a high cetane “premium”

diesel fuel may offer improved cold-starting and

warm-up performance.

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 emis

sions control system.



An out-of-tune engine, 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 autho

rized dealer for service assistance.



The use of fuel additives, which are now being

sold as octane enhancers, is not recom

mended. Most of these products contain high

concentrations of methanol. Fuel system

damage or vehicle performance problems

resulting from the use of such fuels or addi

tives is not the responsibility of The manufac

turer and may void or not be covered under

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending

agent. They can be unstable under certain

conditions and hazardous or explosive when

mixed with diesel fuel.

CAUTION!

If the Water in Fuel Indicator Light remains on,

DO NOT START engine before you drain the water

from the fuel filter(s) to avoid engine damage

UEL

EQUIREMENTS

A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM

specification D975 is recommended for use with

your diesel engine. If frequent operation with

biodiesel blends that are between 6% and 20%

(B6–B20) is desired, the maintenance schedule is

subject to shorter intervals.
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%.
For regular use of biodiesel blends between 6%

and 20% (B6–B20) it is important that you

understand and comply with these requirements

page 390.

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).

Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which

require that you understand and adhere to the

following requirements if you use blends of

biodiesel between 6% and 20% (B6–B20). There

are no unique restrictions for the use of B5.

CAUTION!

Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements

for vehicles operating on biodiesel blends

between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) will result in

premature engine wear. Such wear is not

covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

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.

CAUTION!

In the event that the vehicle is filled with

biodiesel and not used for more than a month,

the fuel should either be used up by driving (up

to quarter tank) and filled with standard diesel

blends with less than 5% that is normally

available. This will help prevent the fuel filter

clogging and potential damage to the fuel

injection system due to degraded biodiesel,

which is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited

Warranty.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

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.

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 biodiesel

between 6% and 20% requires intervals shorter

than the outlined 10,000 miles (16,000 km) and

must not exceed the suggested schedule. When

routinely operating on biodiesel between 6% and

20%, oil and filter replacement intervals must not

exceed 8,000 Miles (13,000 km) or six months,

which ever comes first.

Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals

The use of biodiesel requires more frequent fuel

filter change intervals. When operating on

biodiesel between 6% and 20%, fuel filter

replacement intervals should be every second oil

change, and must not exceed 16,000 miles

(25,750 km).
NOTE:

Under no circumstances should oil change

intervals exceed 8,000 miles (12,875 km) or six

months, if regular operation occurs with 6% - 20%

biodiesel blends. Under no circumstances should

fuel filter replacement intervals exceed every

second oil change and must not exceed 16,

000 miles (25,750 km), if regular operation occurs

with 6% - 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%.

Engine Coolant

We recommend using Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 Mile

(240,000 km) Formula OAT (Organic Additive Technology) or equivalent

meeting the requirements of the manufacturer Material Standard MS.90032.

Engine Oil — 3.6L Gasoline Engine

We recommend using Mopar® SAE 0W-20 Full Synthetic Engine Oil which

meets the requirements of the manufacturer Material Standard MS-6395.

Equivalent full synthetic SAE 0W-20 engine oil can be used but must have the

API Starburst trademark

page 396.

Engine Oil Filter

We recommend using a Mopar® Engine Oil Filter. If a Mopar® Engine Oil Filter

is unavailable only use filters that meet or exceed SAE/USCAR-36 Filter

Performance Requirements.

Fuel Selection — 3.6L Gasoline Engine

87 Octane (R+M)/2 Method, 0-15% Ethanol.

CAUTION!



Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant (antifreeze), may result in engine damage and

may decrease corrosion protection. Organic Additive Technology (OAT) engine coolant is different and should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Tech

nology (HOAT) engine coolant (antifreeze) or any “globally compatible” coolant (antifreeze). If a non-OAT engine coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the

cooling system in an emergency, the cooling system will need to be drained, flushed, and refilled with fresh OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032), by an

authorized dealer as soon as possible.



Do not use water alone or alcohol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) products. Do not use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be

compatible with the radiator engine coolant and may plug the radiator.



This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze)

is not recommended.
