Windshield Washers
The fluid reservoir in the engine compartment should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield antifreeze (not radiator antifreeze) rated not to freeze at -25°F (-31°C). Operate the system for a few seconds to flush out the residual water.
WARNING!
Commercial
windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and
burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the
washer solution.
Windshield
Washer Aiming
To change the aim of the windshield washers, place a safety pin into the nozzle opening and move the nozzle slightly. Continue making slight adjustments until you obtain the desired pattern.
Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 239
If
you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or if the
exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle; or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have an authorized
technician inspect the complete exhaust system and adjacent
body areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned
parts. Open seams or loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In addition, inspect the
exhaust system each time the vehicle is raised for lubrication
or oil change. Replace as required.
Cooling System
WARNING!
You
or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your
radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to
open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
Coolant Checks
Check coolant protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather, where applicable). If coolant is dirty or rusty in appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with fresh coolant.
Check the front of the radiator for any accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. Clean the radiator by gently spraying water from a garden hose at the back of the core.
Check the engine cooling system hoses for condition and tightness of connection. Inspect the entire system for leaks. Any hoses that show cuts or severe abrasion must be replaced.
Cooling System — Drain, Flush, And Refill
At the intervals shown in the appropriate "Maintenance Schedule," the system should be drained, flushed, and refilled.
If the solution is dirty and contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with reliable cooling system cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
240 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Engine
Coolant Disposal
Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. Do not store ethylene glycol based engine 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, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct coolant type.
CAUTION!
Mixing
of coolants other than the specified HOAT
coolant may result in
decreased corrosion protec
tion and engine damage that may
not be covered
under the new vehicle warranty. If a
non-HOAT
coolant is introduced into the cooling system in
an
emergency, it should be replaced with the speci
fied
coolant as soon as possible.
Do not use plain water alone or alcohol
base
antifreeze products. Do not use additional rust
inhibitors
or antirust products, as they may not be
compatible with the
radiator coolant and may
plug the radiator.
This vehicle has not been designed for use
with
Propylene Glycol based coolants. Use of Propy-
lene
Glycol base coolants is not recommended.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 241
Adding
Coolant
When adding coolant, a minimum solution of recommended 50% ethylene glycol antifreeze coolant in water should be used. Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below -37°F (-38°C) are anticipated.
Use only high purity water such as distilled or deionized water when mixing the water/antifreeze solution. The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion protection in the engine cooling system.
NOTE: Mixing coolant types will decrease the life of the engine coolant and will require more frequent engine coolant changes.
Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.
Cooling System Pressure Cap
The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of coolant, and to insure that coolant will return to the radiator from the coolant reserve tank.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
WARNING!
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 overheated
engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To
prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the
system is hot or under pressure.
Coolant
Level
The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate. The coolant level must be at the FULL mark or above the ADD mark on the bottle.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is not need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for coolant freeze point or replacing coolant. Advise your
242 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory, the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not overfill.
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. This is normally a result of moisture from rain, snow, or high humidity accumulating on the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat opens, allowing hot coolant to enter the radiator.
If an examination of your engine compartment shows no evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate.
Do not overfill the coolant bottle.
Check coolant freeze point in the system.
If
frequent coolant additions are required, or if the
level in the
recovery bottle does not drop when the
engine cools, the cooling
system should be pressure
tested for leaks.
Maintain
coolant concentration at 50% ethylene
glycol
antifreeze (minimum) in water
for proper corrosion
protection of
your engine that contains aluminum
components.
Make
sure that the radiator and coolant bottle hoses
are not kinked
or obstructed.
Do not
change the thermostat for summer or winter
operation. If
replacement is ever necessary, install
ONLY the correct type
thermostat. Other designs may
result in unsatisfactory cooling
performance, poor gas
mileage, and increased emissions.
Hoses and Vacuum/Vapor Harnesses
Inspect surfaces of hoses and nylon tubing for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard or soft spots, brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasions, and excessive swelling indicate deterioration of the rubber.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 243
Pay particular attention to the 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. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if there is any evidence of degradation that could cause failure.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance, all brake system components should be inspected periodically. Refer to the appropriate "Maintenance Schedule" in Section 8 for suggested service intervals.
WARNING!
Riding
the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly an accident.
Driving with your foot resting or riding on the brake pedal can
result in abnormally high brake temperatures, excessive lining wear,
and possible brake damage. You wouldn’t have your full braking
capacity in an emergency.
Brake
and Power Steering System Hoses
When servicing the vehicle for scheduled maintenance, inspect surface of hoses for evidence of heat and mechanical damage. Hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts, abrasion, and excessive swelling suggest deterioration of the rubber. Particular attention should be made to examining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources, such as the exhaust manifold.
Inspect all hose clamps and couplings to make sure they are secure and no leaks are present.
NOTE: Inspection of brake hoses should be done whenever the brake system is serviced and every engine oil change.
244 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
Worn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. You could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level in the master cylinder should be checked when performing under hood services, or immediately if the BRAKE warning light shows system failure
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylinder area before removing the cap. If necessary, add fluid to bring the fluid level up to the requirements described on the brake fluid reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should be checked when pads are replaced. However, low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed.
Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
80f1431e
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 prolonged braking. You could have an accident.
Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 245
Use
only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to
avoid contamination from foreign matter. Do not allow petroleum base
fluid to contaminate the brake fluid as seal damage will result.
Automatic Transmission
Selection of Lubricant
It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission performance. Use only manufacturer’s recommended transmission fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type. It is important that the transmission fluid be maintained at the prescribed level using the recommended fluid.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturer’s recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Fluid Level Check — 42RLE
This fluid level should be checked when the engine is fully warmed up and the fluid in the transmission is heated to its normal operating temperature. Operation of the transmission with an improper fluid level will greatly reduce the life of the transmission and of the fluid.
To check the automatic transmission fluid level properly, the following procedure must be used:
1. The vehicle must be on level ground.
246 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
The
engine should be running at curb idle speed for a
minimum of 60
seconds.
Fully apply parking brake.
Apply
the brakes and shift the transmission into P
(Park).
The
fluid MUST be checked with the transmission in
P (Park)
to be sure that the fluid level is accurate.
Wipe
the dipstick clean and reinsert until seated.
Remove dipstick
and note reading.
At normal operating temperature (approximately 180° F (82° C), the fluid level is correct if it is in the HOT region (cross-hatched area) on the oil level indicator. The fluid level indicator should be in the COLD region at 70° F (21° C) fluid temperature.
If the fluid level is low, add sufficient fluid to bring to the proper level. Refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Fluid is added through the dipstick tube.
NOTE: To prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is properly reseated.
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the addition of any additives to the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers should be avoided as they may adversely affect seals.
Hydraulic Clutch Fluid — Manual Transmission
The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance free system. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, the system must be replaced.
Manual Transmission
Selection of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended manual transmission fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 247
Fluid Level Check
Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a point not more than 3/16" (4.76 mm) below the bottom of the hole.
Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level.
Frequency of Fluid Change
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at the factory will give satisfactory lubrication for the life of the vehicle. Fluid changes are not necessary unless the lubricant has become contaminated with water. If contaminated with water, the fluid should be changed immediately.
Transfer Case
Fluid Level Check
The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the fill hole (A) when the vehicle is in a level position.
Adding Fluid
Fluid should be added only at filler hole until fluid begins to run out of the hole.
Drain
First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C). Recommended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is 15-25 ft.lbs. (20-34 N-m).
248 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION!
When replacing plugs, do not overtighten. You could damage them and cause them to leak.
Selection of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Front/Rear Axle Fluid
Fluid Level Check
Lubricant should be at bottom edge of the oil fill hole.
Adding Fluid
Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above.
Selection of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion
Protection Of Body And Paint From Corrosion
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 under-body protection.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 249
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 sea-coast localities.
Atmospheric fallout/industrial pollutants.
Bird droppings.
Washing
Wash
your vehicle regularly. Always wash your ve
hicle in the
shade using a mild car wash soap and rinse
the panels completely
with clear water.
If
insects, tar, or other similar deposits have accumu
lated
on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
Use
Mopar® Auto Polish to remove road film and
stains and to
polish your vehicle. Take care never to
scratch the paint.
Avoid
using abrasive compounds and power buffing
that may diminish the
gloss or thin out the paint
finish.
CAUTION!
Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder, which will scratch metal and painted surfaces.
250 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Appearance Care For Fabric Top Models
CAUTION!
To maintain the appearance of your vehicle’s interior trim and top, follow these precautions:
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 — Always use mild soap suds, lukewarm water, and a brush with soft bristles. If extra cleaning is required, use a mild foaming cleaner on the entire top, but support top from underneath.
RINSING — Be sure to remove all trace of cleaner by rinsing the top thoroughly with clean water. Remember to allow the top to dry before lowering it.
Care Of Fabric Top Windows
CAUTION!
Your
vehicle’s fabric top has pliable plastic windows which can be
scratched unless special care is taken by following these directions:
Never
use a dry cloth to remove dust. Instead, use a
soft
cotton cloth moistened with cold or warm, clean
water, and
wipe across the window, not up and down.
When
washing, never use hot water or anything
stronger than a
mild soap. Never use solvents such as
alcohol or harsh cleaning
agents.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 251
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
a major impact on zipper operation.
Even normal on-road driving
and vehicle washing will
eventually impact window zipper
operation. To maintain
ease of use of the window zippers, each
window zipper
should be cleaned and lubricated regularly. Use
Mopar®
Soft Top Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant to ease
zipper
operation. Before applying, make sure the zipper
teeth
are clear of sand, mud, and other materials. Clean
both
sides of the zipper, not just one side. Rinse both
zipper
halves with fresh water and allow to dry.
Aggressively
work the Mopar® Soft Top Zipper Cleaner and
Lubricant
into the zipper teeth. If a stuck zipper slide is
experi
enced, work the Mopar® Soft Top Zipper Cleaner
and
Lubricant into the zipper slide. Several applications may
be
required before the zipper comes free.
6. Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any tape to the windows. Adhesives are hard to remove and may damage the windows.
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 tailgate must 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.
If you
carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers,
de-icer
salt, etc., assure 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.
252 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Use
Mopar® Touch Up Paint on scratches or chips as
soon as
possible. Your authorized dealer has touch up
paint to match the
color of your vehicle.
Aluminum
wheels should be cleaned regularly with
mild soap and water to
prevent corrosion. To remove
heavy soil, select a non-abrasive,
non-acidic cleaner.
Do not use scouring pads or metal polishes.
Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or
harsh
brushes that may damage the wheels’ protective fin
ish.
Interior Care
Use Mopar® Fabric Cleaner to clean fabric upholstery and carpeting.
Use Mopar® Vinyl Cleaner to clean vinyl or leather upholstery.
Mopar® Vinyl Cleaner is specifically recommended for interior vinyl trim.
WARNING!
Do
not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are
potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
Glass
Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with any commercial household-type glass cleaner. Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use caution when cleaning inside rear windows equipped with electric defrosters. Do not use scrapers or other sharp instruments which may scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rear view mirror, spray cleaner on the towel or rag that you are using. Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror.
Carpet
Vacuum your carpet regularly to prevent a soil build-up. Shampoo soiled carpet with a reliable upholstery cleaner, using a natural sponge or soft bristle brush. After carpet dries, vacuum it thoroughly.
WARNING!
Only
remove the carpet for cleaning purposes. It provides insulation
against high floor pan temperatures. You or your passengers
could be burned if the carpet is not properly in place. Always put
the carpet back into the vehicle before driving.
Follow
These Steps To Remove The Carpet:
Unsnap the
front and rear floor carpets. A snap is
located on the outboard
side of each front seat.
Remove the
attachment cap from the front footwell
area on both the driver
and passenger side. The cap is
removed by pulling it straight
out.
Remove the front and rear floor carpets.
Remove the cargo floor and wheelhouse carpets.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with an Add-A-Trunk™ it must be removed to be able to remove the cargo floor and wheelhouse carpets. For Add-A-Trunk™ removal procedure, refer to "Storage" in Section 3 of this manual.
^^Ø MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 253 Follow These Steps To Replace The Carpet:
Place the front floor carpets in the vehicle.
Attach the
carpet to the studs in the footwell and press
on the attachment
caps to secure the carpet.
Place rear
floor carpet in vehicle and snap rear carpet
to front floor
carpet.
Install
wheelhouse carpet followed by the cargo floor
carpet.
Reinstall Add-A-Trunk™ if so equipped.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also 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.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
254 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
Maintenance
After Off-Road Driving
After extended operation in mud, sand or water, or similar dirty conditions, have your brake drums, brake linings, and axle joints inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. This will prevent any abrasive material from causing excessive wear or unpredictable braking action.
Following off-road usage, completely inspect the under-body of your vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering, suspension and exhaust system for damage. Check threaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering and suspension. Retighten, if required, to torque values specified in the Service Manual. Also check for accumulations of vegetation or brush that could become a fire hazard, or conceal damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle pinion seals, and propeller shafts. Check air conditioning drain tube on the lower dash wall in the engine compartment for mud or debris, and clean as required. A plugged tube will adversely affect air conditioning performance.
CAUTION!
Under
frequent heavy-duty driving conditions, change all lubricants, and
lubricate body components and steering linkage more often than
in normal service to prevent excessive wear.
FUSE
PANEL
Interior Fuses
