DESCRIPTION
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage
by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI
symbol (Fig. 1) on the label. At the bottom NLGI
symbol is the usage and quality identification letters.
Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter
ªGº. Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter ªLº.
The letter following the usage letter indicates the
quality of the lubricant. The following symbols indi-
cate the highest quality.
When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration recommends that only MOPARtbrand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. MOPARtprovides
the best engineered products for servicing
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID - NAG1
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
Use ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12, such
as Shell ATF 3403/M-115, MOPARtpart number
05127382AA, Fuchs/Shell ATF 3353, or equivalent.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is red in color
when new. 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.
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.

FLUID
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - BRAKE FLUID
CONTAMINATION
Indications of fluid contamination are swollen or
deteriorated rubber parts.
Swollen rubber parts indicate the presence of
petroleum in the brake fluid.
To test for contamination, put a small amount of
drained brake fluid in clear glass jar. If fluid sepa-
rates into layers, there is mineral oil or other fluid
contamination of the brake fluid.
If brake fluid is contaminated, drain and thor-
oughly flush system. Replace master cylinder, ALB
Controller, caliper seals, Antilock Brakes hydraulic
unit and all hydraulic fluid hoses.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL
Always clean the master cylinder reservoir and
caps before checking fluid level. If not cleaned, dirt
could enter the fluid.
The fluid fill level is indicated on the side of the
master cylinder reservoir (Fig. 13).
The correct fluid level is to the MAX indicator on
the side of the reservoir. If necessary, add fluid to the
proper level. (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTE-
NANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION).
SPECIFICATIONS
BRAKE FLUID
The brake fluid to be used in this vehicle must be
approved to MB 331.0, such as MOPARtpart num-
ber 0459625AC. If the approved product is not avail-
able, use a DOT 4 brake fluid: minimum dry boiling
point (ERBP) 500ÉF, minimum wet boiling point
(WERBP) 356ÉF, maximum viscosity 1500 mm
2/s,conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO 4925. No other
type of brake fluid is recommended or approved for
usage in the vehicle brake system. Use only approved
brake fluid or an equivalent from a tightly sealed
container.
Use brake fluid
CAUTION: Never use reclaimed brake fluid or fluid
from an container which has been left open. An
open container of brake fluid will absorb moisture
from the air and contaminate the fluid.
CAUTION: Never use any type of a petroleum-based
fluid in the brake hydraulic system. Use of such
type fluids will result in seal damage of the vehicle
brake hydraulic system causing a failure of the
vehicle brake system. Petroleum based fluids would
be items such as engine oil, transmission fluid,
power steering fluid, etc.
FLUID RESERVOIR
REMOVAL
(1) Using a suction gun remove as much brake
fluid from the reservoir as possible (Fig. 14).
(2) Disconnect the electrical connector for the
brake fluid level indicator (Fig. 14).
(3) Remove the fluid reservoir (Fig. 14).Seal off
the ends and bore holes with plugs.
INSTALLATION
(1) Install the fluid reservoir and fill with fluid
(Fig. 14).
(2) Bleed the brake system.

location in the switch bezel.
(2) Connect electrical connections.
(3) Position the switch bezel and install the retain-
ing screw. Refer to the Body section for the proce-
dure.
(4) Install the storage bin. Refer to the Body sec-
tion for the procedure.
(5) Install the gear selector bezel trim. Refer to the
Body section for the procedure.
(6) Connect the negative battery cable.
HEATED SEAT ELEMENT
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat system includes two seat heating
elements in each front seat, one for the seat cushion
(Fig. 1) and the other for the seat back. All models
use two resistor wire heating elements for each seat
that are connected in series with the Heated Seat
Relay. The temperature sensor is a Negative Temper-
ature Coefficient (NTC) thermistor. One temperature
sensor is used for each seat, and it is located in the
seat cushion heating element for all models.The seat heating elements are glued onto the seat
and seat back cushions. The heated seat elements
and the temperature sensor cannot be adjusted or
repaired and, if faulty or damaged a new seat assem-
bly must be installed.
OPERATION
The heated seat elements resist the flow of electri-
cal current. When battery current is passed through
the elements, the energy lost by the resistance of the
elements is released in the form of heat. The heated
seat temperature sensor is a NTC thermistor. When
the temperature of the seat cushion cover rises, the
resistance of the sensor decreases. The heated seat
relay uses this temperature sensor input to monitor
the temperature of the seat, and regulates the cur-
rent flow to the seat heating elements accordingly.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - HEATED SEAT
ELEMENT
For complete circuit diagrams, refer toWiring.
NOTE: When checking heated seat elements for
continuity, be certain to move the heating element
being checked. Moving the element, such as sitting
in the seat will eliminate the possibility of an inter-
mittent open in the element which would only be
evident if the element was in a certain position.
Failure to check the element in various positions
could result in an incomplete test.
(1) Disconnect and isolate the battery negative
cable. Disconnect the heated seat element wire har-
ness connector from under the seat cushion. Check
for continuity between the seat heater driver circuit
and ground. There should be continuity, less than 7
ohms. If OK, go to Step 2. If not OK, replace the seat
assembly.
(2) Check for continuity between the seat heater
B+ driver circuit cavity and the seat back frame.
There should benocontinuity. If OK, heating ele-
ment is OK at this time. If not OK, replace the seat
assembly.
HEATED SEAT RELAY
DESCRIPTION
The heated seat relay is an electromechanical
device that switches 12v battery current to the
heated seat elements when the relay control coil is
energized. The heated seat relay is located in the
Fuse Block, under the drivers seat. The heated seat
relay is a International Standards Organization
(ISO) relay. Relays conforming to the ISO specifica-
tions have common physical dimensions, current
capacities, terminal patterns, and terminal functions.
