cable to a good engine ground (exposed metal part of
the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery

battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start
the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in

Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection
The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters
varies considerably. Only high quality filters should be
used to assure most efficient service. MOPAR  engine air
cleaner filters are a high quality filter and are recom-
mended.

Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-free battery.
You will never have to add water, nor is periodic main-
tenance required. WARNING!• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can
burn or even blind you. Do not allow battery fluid
to contact your eyes, skin, or clothing. Do not lean
over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid
splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme-
diately with large amounts of water. Refer to
“Jump-Starting Procedures” in “What To Do In
Emergencies” for further information.
• Battery gas is flammable and explosive. Keep
flame or sparks away from the battery. Do not use
a booster battery or any other booster source with
an output greater than 12 Volts. Do not allow cable
clamps to touch each other.
• Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds. Wash hands
