MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
* Once a month, check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
* Once a month, Inspect battery and clean and tighten
terminals as required.
* Once a month, check fluid levels of coolant reservoir,
brake master cylinder, power steering & transmission.
Add fluids as required.
* Once a month, check all lights and all other electrical items
for correct operation
* Once a month, Inspect and clean wiper blades as required.
* Twice a year, lubricate the external lock cylinders.

( 1) - Approximate quantity listed.
( 2) - Use an API energy conserving engine oil that is certified for
gasoline engines on all engines except 3.3L flex-fuel models.
On 3.3L flex-fuel models, use Mopar Flex-Fuel 5W-30 engine oil
or an equivalent that meets Chrysler Standard MS-9214. Proper
engine oil MUST BE used to prevent engine damage. The 3.3L
flex-fuel model may be referred to as Flex-Fuel Vehicle (FFV)
model and is used in all vehicles except California emission
vehicles. Flex-fuel model may be also referred to as an E85
application and may be identified by label attached to inside of
gasoline filler door.
( 3) - Quantity includes heater and coolant recovery tank. Add 2 qts.
(1.9L) if equipped with rear heater.
( 4) - Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transaxle
through all gears and back to Park. Add additional fluid to
bring fluid level to 1/8" below the ADD mark on dipstick.
Recheck fluid level with transaxle at normal operating
temperature. Adjust fluid level so fluid level is within the
HOT range dipstick.
( 5) - An overrunning clutch is bolted on front of rear differential,
between torque tube for drive shaft and rear differential.
Overrunning clutch contains a separate reservoir from rear
differential. Ensure fluids are checked at appropriate
component, as different types of fluids are used. Fluid capacity
is not available from manufacturer.
( 6) - Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic
transmission fluid.
( 7) - Capacity is not available from manufacturer. Fill unit until
fluid level is even with bottom of filler plug hole.
