AXLE FLUID
Use oils approved to MB 235.0 or 235.6, such as
Shell Spirax MB90, Caltex Hypoid LD, or MOPARt
part number 4874469, or equivalent. An API GL-5/
MIL-2105-E SAE 90 Hypoid Gear Oil may be substi-
tuted. Reduced axle durability may result if an
unapproved product is used.
BRAKE FLUID
Use brake fluid approved to MB 331.0, such as
Intac B026D, MOPARtBrake & Clutch Fluid, part
number 04549625AC, or equivalent. If the approved
product is not available, use a DOT 4 brake fluid:
minimum dry boiling point (ERBP) 500ÉF, minimum
wet boiling point (WERBP) 356ÉF, maximum viscos-
ity 1500 mm
2/s, conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO
4925.
HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE-GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE-GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF
GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR
LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN
THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS
PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants
is not recommended, as they provide less freeze
protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the
radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Use coolant approved to MB 325.0, such
as EURO Peak Coolant/Anti-freeze (OLD WORLD
INDUSTRIES), Zerex G05 or G48 (The Valvoline
Company), Glysantin G05 (BASF AG), MOPARtpart
number 05066386AA, or an equivalent Extended LifeCoolant with the HOAT inhibitor system. This cool-
ant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion
when mixed with 50% anti-freeze and 50% distilled
water to obtain a freeze point of -37ÉC (-34ÉF). If it
loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush,
and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solu-
tion.
CAUTION: This coolant may not be mixed with any
other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other
than specified (non-HOAT), may result in engine
damage that may not be covered under the new
vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protec-
tion.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mix-
tures follows:
Pure Water-Water can absorb more heat than a
mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for pur-
pose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a
higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol-The corrosion
inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the pres-
ence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives
form deposits in system. These act as insulation
causing temperature to rise. The increased tempera-
ture can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22ÉC (-8ÉF).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water-Is the recom-
mended mixture, it provides protection against freez-
ing to -37ÉC (-34ÉF). The antifreeze concentration
must alwaysbe a minimum of 44 percent, year-
round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine
parts may be eroded by cavitation. Maximum protec-
tion against freezing is provided with a 68 percent
antifreeze concentration, which prevents freezing
down to -67.7ÉC (-90ÉF). A higher percentage will
freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher per-
centage of antifreeze can cause the engine to over-
heat because specific heat of antifreeze is lower than
that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethyl-
ene-glycol.

(6) Start the engine in the vehicle which has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
then start the engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(7) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to
at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:
²Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine
ground on disabled vehicle.
²When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect
BLACK cable clamp from battery negative terminal.
Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal.
²Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery posi-
tive terminal on disabled vehicle.
TOWING
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TOWING
WARNING: Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. If the key cannot be
turned, the ignition lock remains locked and the
vehicle cannot be steered. With the engine not run-
ning there is no power assistance for the braking
and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the vehicle.
The vehicle must not be towed with the front axle
raised and the key in position 2 in the ignition lock
as the drive wheels could then lock due to the
acceleration skid control (ASR)
If the Engine is Damaged
For towing distances up to 30 miles (about 50
km)
²Shift selector lever in ªNº position.
²Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 m.p.h. (50
km/h).
For towing distances greater than 30 mile
(about 50 km)
²Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Transmission is Damaged
²Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Front Axle is Damaged
²Raise the front axle.
²Observe the same towing restrictions as for
engine damage.
If the Rear Axle is Damaged
²Raise the rear axle.
NOTE: Comply with local legal regulations regard-
ing towing vehicles.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: The following safety precautions must be
observed when towing a vehicle.
²Secure loose and protruding parts.
²Always use a safety chain system that is inde-
pendent of the lifting and towing equipment.
²Do not allow towing equipment to contact the
disabled vehicle's fuel tank.
²Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle
while it is lifted by the towing device.
²Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle
being towed.
²Always observe state and local laws regarding
towing regulations.
²Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could
jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or
other motorists.
²Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a
tow sling to a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts
or a non-reinforced frame hole.
²Remove exhaust pipe tips that interfere with the
tow sling and crossbar
²Padding should be placed between the tow sling/
crossbar and any painted surfaces
²When placing tow hooks on the rear axle, posi-
tion them so they do not damage the brake tubing or
hoses
²Do not tow the vehicle by connecting to the front
or rear shock absorbers
²Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Damage to
the vehicle may result. Use a flatbed device to trans-
port a loaded vehicle.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed,
install lug nuts to retain brake drums.
A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels
are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be
sure there is adequate ground clearance at the oppo-
site end of the vehicle, especially when towing over
rough terrain, steep rises in the road or if the vehicle
is equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground
VALUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE 0 - 7
effect panels. If necessary, remove the wheels from
the lifted end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle
closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance
at the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on
wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums.
RAMP ANGLE
If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used,
the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15
degrees.
TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE
When the vehicle is locked and keys are not avail-
able, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type
device can be used provided all the wheels are lifted
off the ground using tow dollies.
