2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HYBRID transmission fluid

The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake
fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It
will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a
collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate
repair to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by
turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the
ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for ap-
proximately two seconds. The light should then turn off
unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light
inspected by your authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking brake is
applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.
— Battery Charge Warning Light
This light illuminates when the 12 volt battery is not
charging properly. If it stays on while the vehicle is
running, there may be a malfunction with the charging
system. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the electrical system
or a related component.
— Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condition. If the
engine coolant temperature is too high, this indicator will
illuminate and a single chime will sound. If the tempera-
ture reaches the upper limit, a continuous chime will be
sound for four minutes or until the engine is able to cool:
whichever comes first.
If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the
temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the

Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This
light does not indicate how much oil is in the engine. The
engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
— Transmission Temperature Warning Light —
If Equipped
This light indicates high transmission fluid temperature.
This may occur with strenuous usage such as trailer
towing. If this light turns on, stop the vehicle and run the
engine at idle or slightly faster, with the transmission in
PARK or NEUTRAL, until the light turns off. Once the light
turns off, you may continue to drive normally.
WARNING!
If you continue operating the vehicle when the Trans-
mission Temperature Warning Light is illuminated you
could cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with
hot engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Tempera-
ture Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause
severe transmission damage or transmission failure.
— Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for approximately
15 seconds when the vehicle security alarm is arming, and
then will flash slowly until the vehicle is disarmed.
— Door Open Warning Light — If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when a door is ajar/open and
not fully closed. This indicator will reflect which doors are
open.
NOTE: If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single
chime.
— Liftgate Open Warning Light
This indicator will turn when the liftgate is open.
NOTE: If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single
chime.
— Hybrid Electric Vehicle System Service Light
This indicator will illuminate when service to the hybrid
electric system is needed. It will be accompanied by a
Service Hybrid Electric Vehicle System message in the
cluster. If the telltale stays on or continues to come on,
contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

— Service LaneSense Warning Light —
If Equipped
This light will turn on when the LaneSense system is not
operating and needs service. Please see an authorized
dealer.
— Low Fuel Warning Light
When the fuel tank has approximately 1/8 of the fuel
remaining, this light will turn on, and a single chime will
sound. The light will remain on until fuel is added.
— Low Washer Fluid Warning Light —
If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when the windshield washer
fluid is low.
— Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Fault Warning
Light — If Equipped
This telltale will turn on to indicate a fault in the ACC
system. Contact your local authorized dealer for service.
For further information, refer to “Adaptive Cruise Control
(ACC)” in “Starting And Operating.”
— Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
Light — If Equipped
This telltale will turn on to indicate a fault in the Forward
Collision Warning System. Contact your local authorized
dealer for service. Refer to Forward Collision Warning
(FCW) inSafety for further information.
— Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Warning
Light (MIL)
The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a
part of an Onboard Diagnostic System called OBD II that
monitors engine and automatic transmission control sys-
tems. The light will illuminate when the ignition is in the
ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not
come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN,
have the condition checked promptly.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through
several typical driving styles. In most situations, the ve-
hicle will drive normally.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert
serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of
power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle
should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in
spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts, causing the
brake fluid to catch fire. Brake fluid can also damage
painted and vinyl surfaces, care should be taken to
avoid its contact with these surfaces.
• Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contaminate
the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be
damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure.
This could result in a collision.
Automatic Transmission
Selection Of Lubricant
It is important to use the proper transmission fluid to
ensure optimum transmission performance and life. Use
only the manufacturer’s specified transmission fluid. Refer
to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications”
for fluid specifications. It is important to maintain the
transmission fluid at the correct level using the recom-
mended fluid.
NOTE: No chemical flushes should be used in any trans-
mission; only the approved lubricant should be used.
CAUTION!
Using a transmission fluid other than the manufactur-
er ’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in
transmission performance and/or durability. Refer to
“Fluids And Lubricants” in “Technical Specifications”
for fluid specifications
Special Additives
The manufacturer strongly recommends against using any
special additives in the transmission. Automatic Transmis-
sion Fluid (ATF) is an engineered product and its perfor-
mance may be impaired by supplemental additives. There-
fore, do not add any fluid additives to the transmission.
Avoid using transmission sealers as they may adversely
affect seals.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your transmission as
the chemicals can damage your transmission compo-
nents. Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
460 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

Fluid Level Check
The fluid level is preset at the factory and does not require
adjustment under normal operating conditions. Routine
fluid level checks are not required; therefore the transmis-
sion has no dipstick. An authorized dealer can check your
transmission fluid level using special service tools. If you
notice fluid leakage or transmission malfunction, visit an
authorized dealer immediately to have the transmission
fluid level checked. Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe transmission damage.
CAUTION!
If a transmission fluid leak occurs, visit an authorized
dealer immediately. Severe transmission damage may
occur. An authorized dealer has the proper tools to
adjust the fluid level accurately.
Fluid Changes
Under normal operating conditions, the fluid installed at
the factory will provide satisfactory lubrication for the life
of the vehicle.
Routine fluid changes are not required. However, change
the fluid if it becomes contaminated (with water, etc.), or if
the transmission is disassembled for any reason.
RAISING THE VEHICLE
In the case where it is necessary to raise the vehicle, go to
an authorized dealer or service station.
TIRES
