Adding Fluid
Only at filler hole until fluid runs out of the hole, when
the vehicle is in a level position.
Drain
First remove fill plug (B), then drain plug (C). Recom-
mended tightening torque for drain and fill plugs is
15–25 ft. lbs. (20–34 N·m).
CAUTION!
When installing plugs, do not overtighten. You could
damage them and cause them to leak.
Selection of Lubricant
Use only manufacturer’s recommended fluid, refer to
Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts for correct fluid
type.
Front/Rear Axle Fluid
The front axle has a threaded “fill plug” on the cover
plate, and a threaded “drain plug” on the bottom side of
the carrier.
Fluid Level Check
Lubricant should be 1/2 (1 cm) below the oil fill hole.

Your vehicle is equipped with an electrical power distri-
bution center located in the engine compartment near the
battery. This power center houses plug-in “Cartridge”
fuses which replace in-line fusible links. The power
center also contains “Mini” fuses and plug-in full and
micro ISO relays. A label inside the latching cover of the
center identifies each component for ease of replacement,
if necessary. “Cartridge” fuses and relays can be obtained
from your authorized dealer.

Fuel Selection (Gasoline En-
gines Only) 87 Octane (89 Octane should be used for trailer towing purposes - 3.7L Only).
Fuel Selection (Diesel Engines
Only) Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier. For most year-round service,
