2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID hood open

Preparations For Jump Start
The remote battery posts in your vehicle is located on the
left side of the engine compartment.
WARNING!
You can be seriously injured or killed working on or
around a motor vehicle:
•Keep hands away from the radiator cooling fan when
the hood is raised. The fan starts automatically and
may start at any time, whether the engine is running
or not.
• Remove any jewelry such as rings, watches and
bracelets that could make an inadvertent electrical
contact.
• Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your
skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is
flammable and explosive.
1. Apply the parking brake and place the ignition to OFF.
NOTE: If the 12V Battery has been sufficiently discharged,
this may not be possible.
2. Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.On the highways — slow down.
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 blower 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.
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.

Cooling System
WARNING!
•Turn vehicle OFF and disconnect the fan motor lead
before working near the radiator cooling fan.
• 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 open a cooling system pressure cap
when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
• Do not put your hands, tools, clothing, and jewelry
near the radiator cooling fan. The fan may start at any
time, whether the ignition is on or off. This vehicle is equipped with an electric cooling fan
mounted behind the radiator that starts automatically, and
may start at any time. Your vehicle may determine the fan
needs to start and to run if vehicle coolant is too hot, if the
ambient air temperature is too high, or if the vehicle is
charging and the hood is open. Even after the vehicle is
turned off, the fan may start without warning and run for
several minutes. Be aware of this if you are working in the
engine compartment. Always keep fingers and tools away
from the fan blades.
The radiator fan and surrounding components must be
serviced by your authorized dealer.

to the “Maintenance Plan” in this section for the proper
maintenance intervals.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possi-
bly a collision. Driving with your foot resting or riding
on the brake pedal can result in abnormally high brake
temperatures, excessive lining wear, and possible
brake damage. You would not have your full braking
capacity in an emergency.
Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid in the master cylinder should be checked when
performing under hood services or immediately if the
“Brake Warning Light” is illuminated.
Be sure to clean the top of the master cylinder area before
removing the cap. If necessary, add fluid to bring the fluid
level up to the requirements described on the brake fluid
reservoir. With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to
fall as the brake pads wear. Brake fluid level should be
checked when pads are replaced. However, low fluid level
may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed.Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid. Refer
to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications”
for further information.
WARNING!
•
Use only manufacturer’s recommended brake fluid.
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical
Specifications” for further information. Using the
wrong type of brake fluid can severely damage your
brake system and/or impair its performance. The
proper type of brake fluid for your vehicle is also
identified on the original factory installed hydraulic
master cylinder reservoir.
• To avoid contamination from foreign matter or mois-
ture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been
in a tightly closed container. Keep the master cylin-
der reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in
a open container absorbs moisture from the air
resulting in a lower boiling point. This may cause it
to boil unexpectedly during hard or prolonged brak-
ing, resulting in sudden brake failure. This could
result in a collision.
