•
Do not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving.
• Avoid carrying unnecessary weight.
• Avoid adding particular accessories to
your vehicle (e.g. bug deflectors,
rollbars/light bars, running boards, ski
racks).
• Avoid driving with the wheels out of
alignment.
COLD WEATHER
PRECAUTIONS
The functional operation of some
components and systems can be affected
at temperatures below -13°F (-25°C).
DRIVING THROUGH WATER WARNING
Do not drive through flowing or deep
water as you may lose control of your
vehicle.
Note:
Driving through standing water can
cause vehicle damage.
Note: Engine damage can occur if water
enters the air filter.
Before driving through standing water,
check the depth. Never drive through water
that is higher than the bottom of the wheel
hubs. When driving through standing water, drive
very slowly and do not stop your vehicle.
Your brake performance and traction may
be limited. After driving through water and
as soon as it is safe to do so:
•
Lightly press the brake pedal to dry the
brakes and to check that they work.
• Check that the horn works.
• Check that the exterior lights work.
• Turn the steering wheel to check that
the steering power assist works.
FLOOR MATS
(If Equipped) WARNINGS
Always use floor mats that are
designed to fit the foot well of your
vehicle. Only use floor mats that
leave the pedal area unobstructed. Only
use floor mats that are firmly secured to
retention posts so that they cannot slip out
of position and interfere with the pedals
or impair safe operation of your vehicle in
other ways. Pedals that cannot move freely can
cause loss of vehicle control and
increase the risk of serious personal
injury.

CHANGING THE ENGINE AIR
FILTER
WARNING
To reduce the risk of vehicle damage
and personal burn injuries, do not
start your engine with the air cleaner
removed and do not remove it while the
engine is running. Only use the specified replacement air
filter. See Capacities and Specifications
(page 281).
Note: Failure to use the correct air filter
element may result in severe engine
damage. Resulting component damage
may not be covered by the vehicle Warranty.
Change the air filter element at the correct
interval. See
Scheduled Maintenance
(page 427). 1. Disconnect the electrical connector
from the sensor and the cable from the
air filter cover.
Note: Vehicles with 3.2L or 3.5L engine only. 2.
Clean the area around the air tube and
air filter cover connection. Loosen the
air tube clamp, it is not necessary to
completely remove the clamp. Remove
the air tube off from the air filter
housing cover. 3. Remove the clips that secure the air
filter housing cover.
Note: To unlatch the molded clip (x1) on
the air filter housing cover, push it backward.
4. Carefully lift the air filter housing cover.
5. Remove the air filter element from the

6.
Wipe any dirt or debris from the air filter
housing and cover to make sure no dirt
gets in the engine and that you have a
good seal.
7. Install a new air filter element. Be careful not to crimp the filter element
edges between the air filter housing
and cover.
8. Install the air filter housing cover.
Note: Make sure the front clips are fully
engaged and the molded clip on the air filter
housing cover is fully pushed down and
securely clicks into place.
9. Install the air tube onto the air filter cover. Tighten the air tube clamp until
you feel a strong resistance.
10. Reconnect the electrical connector to the sensor and the cable to the air
filter cover.
Secondary Foam Air Filter (If Equipped)
If you operate your vehicle in heavy snow,
we recommend that you clear any snow
or ice from the secondary foam air filter
every
200 mi (320 km). Do not
permanently remove the secondary foam
air filter. The secondary foam air filter must be in
place when the engine is running.
