2010 CHRYSLER TOWN AND COUNTRY heater

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion
or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It
may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of
time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has
been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.
CAUTION!
Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or
degrade the material of the seat.
TILT STEERING COLUMN
• The tilt steering column tilt lever is locatedbelow the steering wheel.
• Push down on the tilt lever to unlock the steering column.
• With one hand firmly on the steering wheel, move the steering column upward
or downward as desired.
• Pull upward on the tilt lever to lock the column firmly in place.
WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving. The tilt adjustment must be locked
while driving. Adjusting the steering wheel while driving or driving without the tilt
adjustment locked could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to
follow this warning may result in severe injury or death.

GETTING STARTED

NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
•
You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to
floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately and call for service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

NOTE:When using a portable battery booster pack follow the manufacturer’s
operating instructions and precautions.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a
system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
WARNING!
When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located on the left side of the engine compartment.
WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessaryelectrical acc essories.
• If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground
connection and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.
