speed positions. This allows the second seat occupants to
control the volume of air circulated in the rear of the
vehicle.
CAUTION!Interior air enters the Manual Rear Zone Climate
Control system through an intake grille located in
the passenger side trim panel behind the third seat.
The heater outlets are located in the passenger side
trim panel just behind the sliding door. Do not block
or place objects directly in front of the inlet grille or
heater outlets. The electrical system could overload
causing damage to the blower motor. Rear Temperature And Mode Control
When the center knob on the front climate control unit is
set to the ªREARº position, the second seat occupants
also have control of the rear temperature and modes as
follows:
² The rear temperature knob controls both the rear
temperature and mode. When the temperature knob is
in the cold position, cold air will be delivered from the
headliner outlets. As the rear temperature knob is
turned towards hot, the air will get warmer, and the
air will be delivered from both the headliner and floor
outlets. When the rear temperature knob reaches the
full hot position, all of the air will be delivered from
the floor outlets.
² When the center knob on the front climate control unit
is set to any position other than ªREARº, the rear UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 207

be disabled automatically if these modes are selected.
Auxiliary Rear Automatic Temperature Control Ð
If Equipped
The Rear Automatic Temperature Control System has
floor air outlets to the rear of the right side sliding door
and overhead outlets at each outboard rear seating
position. The unit provides heated air through the floor
outlets or cool, dehumidified air through the headliner
outlets.
The ªREAR SYSTEMº knob for the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control System is on the front ATC control
unit located on the instrument panel.
Selecting the ªAUTOº position for the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control System from the front ATC control
unit, illuminates a ªLOCKº symbol in the rear display.
The rear temperature and air source are controlled from
the front ATC control unit. The ªREAR SYSTEMº knob on the front ATC control unit
has three positions, ªREAR CONTROLº, ªOFFº, and
ªAUTOº. Only when the ªREAR SYSTEMº knob is in the
ªREAR CONTROLº position do the second seat occu-
pants have control of the Rear Automatic Temperature
Control System.
The Rear Automatic Temperature Control System is
located in the headliner near the center of the vehicle.214 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

WARNING!² Use only refrigerants approved by this manufac-
turer for your air conditioning system. Some un-
approved refrigerants are flammable and can ex-
plode, injuring you. Other unapproved
refrigerants can cause the system to fail, requiring
costly repairs.
² Never add air conditioning refrigerant to correct a
non-cooling problem unless pressure gauges are
connected to the system by a certified technician.
Lack of cooling could be due to a restriction and
adding refrigerant may cause a dangerous pres-
sure rise and you could be injured.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling
The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains
R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer
in the upper atmosphere. The manufacturer recommends that air conditioning service be done by facilities using
refrigerant recycling and recovery equipment that meets
SAE standard J1991.
A/C Air Filter
The filter access door is located under the instrument
panel on the passenger side. To replace the filter slide the
lock toward the rear of the vehicle (unlock position).
Remove the access door and pull the filter downward.
When installing a new filter, ensure its proper orienta-
tion. Align the black arrow on the bottom of the filter
frame with the direction of airflow (away from the
blower motor and towards the center of the car).
Refer to the ªMaintenance Schedulesº section of this
manual for the recommended air conditioning filter
replacement intervals. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 313

Steering Linkage
The tie rod end ball joints are permanently lubricated and
do not require periodic maintenance.
Drive Shaft Universal Joints
Your vehicle has constant velocity universal joints. Peri-
odic lubrication of these joints is not required. However,
the joint boots should be inspected for external leakage or
damage when other maintenance is performed. If leakage
or damage is evident, the universal joint boot and grease
should be replaced immediately.
Continued operation could result in failure of the univer-
sal joint due to water and dirt contamination of the
grease. This would require complete replacement of the
joint assembly. Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as
seat tracks, doors, liftgate, sliding doors and hood hinges,
should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy
operation and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to
the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit; after
lubricating excess oil and grease should be removed.
Particular attention should also be given to hood latching
components to insure proper function. When performing
other underhood services, the hood latch, release mecha-
nism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as Mopar t Lock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder. MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 315
