On vehicles equipped with AutoStick, the display
includes an O/D OFF indicator that is illuminated
when the driver presses the Overdrive Off button
on the transaxle shifter.
3.11.1 INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SELF TEST
1. Depress and hold the Odometer Reset button.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN/START
position.
3. Release the Odometer reset button.
The Instrument Cluster will illuminate all indi-
cators and step the gauges through several calibra-
tion points. Also, the odometer will display any
stored codes that may have set.
3.11.2 MESSAGE CENTER
The Message Center is located above the brow of
the Instrument Cluster. It houses the following
warning indicators: Check Engine/Service Engine
Soon, high beam, left and right turn signals, Secu-
rity Alarm Set, and low oil pressure. On base
models equipped with the three-speed transaxle,
these indicators appear in the face of the cluster.
The Security Alarm set indicator is a red circle.
Activation of Instrument Cluster indicators is
coordinated with indicators in the message center
and EVIC to avoid redundancy. A revised safety
standard now requires that the seat belt warning
lamp in the Instrument Cluster remain lit if the
driver seat belt is not buckled. A headlamp out ISO
indicator has been added to the Instrument Cluster
to alert the driver when a headlamp is not function-
ing.
3.12 INTERIOR LIGHTING
3.12.1 COURTESY LAMP CONTROL
The body controller has direct control over all of
the vehicle's courtesy lamps. The body computer
will illuminate the courtesy lamps under any of the
following conditions:
1. Any door ajar and courtesy lamp switch on the
headlamp switch is not in the dome off position.
2. The courtesy lamp switch on the headlamp
switch is in the dome on position.
3. A Remote Keyless Entry unlock message is re-
ceived.
4. Driver door unlocked with key (with VTSS only).
3.12.2 ILLUMINATED ENTRY
Illuminated entry will be initiated when the cus-
tomer enters the vehicle by unlocking the doors
with the key fob, or with the key if the vehicle is
equipped with vehicle theft alarm. Upon exiting thevehicle, if the lock button is pressed with a door
open, illuminated entry will cancel when the door
closes. If the doors are closed and the ignition
switch is turned on, the illuminated entry also
cancels. The illuminated entry feature will not
operate if the courtesy lamp switch is in the dome
off position.
3.12.3 INTERIOR LIGHTING BATTERY
SAVER
If any of the interior lamps are left on after the
ignition is turned off, the BCM will turn them off
after 8 minutes. To return to normal operation, the
courtesy lamps will operate after the dome lamp
switch or door ajar switch changes state. The glove
box and switched reading lamps require that the
ignition be turned to the on/acc position.
3.13 MEMORY SYSTEM
The memory system consists of power driver 's
seat, power mirrors and radio presets. The Memory
Seat/Mirror Module (MSMM) is located under the
driver 's seat. It receives input from the following:
driver 's manual 8-way seat switch, driver 's seat
position sensors, PCI bus circuits, and the power
mirror sensors. The module uses these inputs to
perform the following functions: position the driv-
er 's memory seat, both exterior mirrors (during
recalls), and send/receive the memory system infor-
mation over the PCI bus.
The Memory Set Switch is wired to the Body
Control Module (BCM). When a button (either #1 or
#2) is pressed on the set switch causes the to BCM
send a message to the MSMM which in turn sends
a motion status messages to the BCM. If the BCM
receives no motion from the MSMM it will send a
recall message to the MSMM and radio (once igni-
tion is in run or accessory). The MSMM will in turn
position the drivers seat, both mirrors along with
recalling the radio presets. If the drivers seat or
either exterior mirror is inoperative from its own
respective switches, use the service information
and schematic to diagnose the problem. This man-
ual addresses the memory problems only and it is
assumed there is not a basic component failure.
3.13.1 POWER SEAT
The memory power seat provides the driver with
2 position settings for the driver 's seat. Each power
seat motor is connected to the MSMM with two
motor drive circuits. Each circuit is switched be-
tween battery and ground. By being able to bi-
directionally drive the circuits, the MSMM controls
the movement of the motors based on input from
the power seat switch or from the position sensors
when performing a memory recall. Each motor

VERIFICATION TESTS
CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION
Standard engine oil identification notations have
been adopted to aid in the proper selection of engine
oil. The identifying notations are located on the label
of engine oil plastic bottles and the top of engine oil
cans (Fig. 5).
This symbol on the front of an oil container means
that the oil has been certified by the American Petro-
leum Institute (API) to meet all the lubrication
requirements specified by DaimlerChrysler.
FLEXIBLE FUEL ENGINE OIL - 3.3L
Engine Oil Selection for Operating on E-85 Fuel
If vehicle operates on E-85 fuel either full or part-
time, use only MopartFlexible Fuel 5W-30 engine oil
or an equivalent that meets DaimlerChrysler Stan-
dard MS-9214. Equivalent commercial Flexible Fuel
engine oils may be labeled as Multi-Fuel, Variable
Fuel, Flexible Fuel, etc. These engine oils may be
satisfactory if they meet the DaimlerChrysler Stan-
dard.
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is preferred for use in Flex-
ible Fuel engines.
CAUTION: If Flexible Fuel engine oil is not used
when using E-85 fuel, engine wear or damage may
result.
DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
NOTE: Refer to the maintenance schedules for the
recommended maintenance (fluid/filter change)
intervals for this transaxle.
NOTE: For fluid level checking procedures, (Refer
to 21 - TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC -
31TH/FLUID - STANDARD PROCEDURE) (Refer to 21
- TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 41TE/
FLUID - STANDARD PROCEDURE)NOTE: The 41TE transaxle has a common transmis-
sion and differential sump. Filling the transaxle
accommodates the differential as well.
TRANSMISSION FLUID
MopartATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-
Type 9602) is required in this transaxle. Substitute
fluids can induce torque converter clutch shudder.
MopartATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid-
Type 9602) when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed
red so it can be identified from other fluids used in
the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red
color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid
condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin
to look darker in color and may eventually become
brown.This is normal.A dark brown/black fluid
accompanied with a burnt odor and/or deterioration
in shift quality may indicate fluid deterioration or
transmission component failure.
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various ªspecialº additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been sup-
ported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additivesmust not be used.The use of trans-
mission ªsealersº should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.
DESCRIPTION - FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Your engine is designed to meet all emissions reg-
ulations and provide excellent fuel economy and per-
formance when using high quality unleaded gasoline
having an octane rating of 87. The use of premium
gasoline is not recommended. The use of premium
gasoline will provide no benefit over high quality reg-
ular gasoline, and in some circumstances may result
in poorer performance.
Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not
harmful to your engine. However, continued heavy
spark knock at high speeds can cause damage and
immediate service is required. Engine damage result-
ing from operation with a heavy spark knock may
not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling and hesitations. If you experi-
ence these symptoms, try another brand of gasoline
before considering service for the vehicle.
