WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
TIRE REPLACEMENT
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and
correct inflation pressure. Chrysler strongly recommends that you use
tires equivalent to the originals in quality and performance when
replacement is needed. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety, handling and ride of your vehicle. We
recommend that you contact your original equipment tire dealer on any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability.

the manufacturers dosage as recommended on product

CAUTION: If fuel contamination due to fungi or other microorganisms is
suspected a fuel additive with a biocide may be used. Follow
the manufacturers dosage as recommended on product label. Use
biocides ONLY when necessary, excessive use can may cause
other fuel system problems.
DIESEL FUEL CONTAMINATION
WARNING: Diesel fuel system may be contaminated with fungi or other
microorganisms. Keep contaminated fuel away from open skin
cuts or sores to prevent skin irritation or infection.
DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: All diesel engines have been developed to take advantage of
the high energy content of No. 2 diesel fuel or No. 2
climatized-diesel fuels. It also operates on No. 1-diesel
fuels if temperatures are expected to be extended arctic
conditions -10
\bF (-23\bC).
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.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
ENGINE OIL FILTER (CARTRIDGE TYPE)
CAUTION: Use of Mopar Oil Filter Cartridge (P/N 04746914) is
RECOMMENDED. The engine oil filter cartridge should be
changed at every engine oil change. Use the same type oil
that will be used in the engine.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working
around halogen bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.

INTERMITTENT PARASITIC LOAD PROBLEMS
Intermittent parasitic lad can occur because of a memory
device that does not power down with ignition off. With an
intermittent parasitic load, battery draw can be greater than 1.0 amp.
To find and intermittent problem requires that an ammeter and
Disconnect Tool (J-38758) test switch be connected and left in the
circuit. See Fig. 1. Road test vehicle. After road test, turn ignition
off and remove key.
Monitor the milliamps scale for 15-20 minutes after ignition
is turned off. This allows monitoring memory devices to determine if
they time out and stop drawing memory current. The test switch is
needed to protect ammeter when the vehicles is started.

INTERCOOLER
NOTE: Intercooler may also be referred to as charge air cooler.
CAUTION: If vehicle had a turbocharger failure, or for any reason oil
was discharged into the intercooler, intercooler must be
removed and cleaned.
Removal
1) Remove front bumper. Remove front support bracket located
above center of intercooler. On A/C-equipped models, discharge A/C
system using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
2) Disconnect and plug hoses and openings at condenser.
Remove condenser-to-intercooler screws and nuts. Remove condenser from
front of intercooler. Plug all openings on condenser.
3) On all models, remove intercooler inlet and outlet ducts.
See Fig. 2 . Remove intercooler bolts. Pivot intercooler forward and
upward to remove.
Inspection & Cleaning
1) Inspect intercooler for damaged fins or cracks. Replace
intercooler if damaged.
CAUTION: DO NOT use caustic cleaners to clean intercooler, or
intercooler may be damaged.
2) If intercooler cleaning is required, flush intercooler
with a non-caustic solvent in the opposite direction of normal
airflow. Use soft-faced hammer to lightly tap on end tanks on
intercooler to dislodge any trapped material.
3) Continue flushing intercooler until all material is
removed from intercooler. Use light to inspect inside of intercooler
for remaining material.
4) Once intercooler is clean, wash intercooler with soap and
hot water to remove remaining solvent. Once remaining solvent is
removed, use clean water to rinse intercooler. Blow compressed air
into intercooler in the opposite direction of the normal airflow until
intercooler is dry.
Installation
To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten fasteners to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. On A/C-equipped models,
evacuate and charge A/C system.
