SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
178
If you notice fluid leakage or transmission
malfunction, visit an authorized dealer im-
mediately to have the transmission fluid level
checked. Operating the vehicle with an im-
proper fluid level can cause severe transmis-
sion damage.
Maintenance-Free Battery
Your vehicle is equipped with a maintenance-
free battery. You will never have to add water,
nor is periodic maintenance 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 immediately with large amounts of
water. Refer to “Jump Starting Proce-
dure” in “In Case Of Emergency” for
further information.
• Battery gas is flammable and explosive.
Keep flame or sparks away from the
battery. Do not use a booster battery or
WARNING!
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 ac-
cessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION!
• It is essential when replacing the cables
on the battery that the positive cable is
attached to the positive post and the
negative cable is attached to the nega-
tive post. Battery posts are marked posi-
tive (+) and negative (-) and are identi-
fied on the battery case. Cable clamps
should be tight on the terminal posts
and free of corrosion.
• If a “fast charger” is used while the
battery is in the vehicle, disconnect both
vehicle battery cables before connecting
the charger to the battery. Do not use
a “fast charger” to provide starting volt-
age.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air con-
ditioner should be checked and serviced by
an authorized dealer at the start of each warm
season. This service should include cleaning
of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at
this time.
WARNING!
• Use only refrigerants and compressor
lubricants approved by the manufac-
turer for your air conditioning system.
Some unapproved refrigerants are flam-
mable and can explode, injuring you.
Other unapproved refrigerants or lubri-
cants can cause the system to fail, re-
quiring costly repairs. Refer to Warranty
Information Book, located in your own-
er’s information kit, for further warranty
information.
• The air conditioning system contains re-
frigerant under high pressure. To avoid
risk of personal injury or damage to the
system, adding refrigerant or any repair
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION!
immediately and thoroughly as the acid
they contain is particularly aggressive.
• Avoid (if at all possible) parking the
vehicle under trees; remove vegetable
resins immediately as, when dried, it
may only be possible to remove them
with abrasive products and/or polishes,
which is highly inadvisable as they could
alter the typical opaqueness of the
paint.
• Do not use pure windshield washer fluid
for cleaning the front windshield and
rear window; dilute it min. 50% with
water. Only use pure windshield washer
fluid when strictly necessary due to out-
side temperature conditions.
Care Of Fabric Top Windows
Your vehicle's fabric top has pliable plastic
windows which can be scratched unless spe-
cial care is taken by following these directions:
1. Never use a dry cloth to remove dust.
Instead,use a microfiber towel or soft cot-
ton cloth moistened with cold or warm,clean water, and wipe across the window,
not up and down.
2. When washing,never use hot wateror any-
thing stronger than a mild soap. Never use
solvents such as alcohol or harsh cleaning
agents.
3. Always rinse thoroughly with cold water,
then wipe with a soft and slightly moist,
clean cloth.
4. When removing frost, snow or ice,never
use a scraper or de-icing chemicals.Use
warm water only if you must clean the
window quickly.
5. Debris (sand, mud/dirt, dust, or salt) from
off-road driving will have a major impact
on zipper operation. Even normal on-road
driving and vehicle washing will eventu-
ally impact window zipper operation. To
maintain ease of use of the window zip-
pers, each window zipper should be
cleaned and lubricated regularly. Before
applying, make sure the zipper teeth are
clear of sand, mud, and other materials.
Clean both sides of the zipper, not justone side. Rinse both zipper halves with
fresh water and allow to dry. Several ap-
plications may be required before the zip-
per comes free.
6. Never paste stickers, gummed labels or
any tape to the windows. Adhesives are
hard to remove and may damage the
windows.
INTERIORS
Seats And Fabric Parts
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flam-
mable, and if used in closed areas they
may cause respiratory harm.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also
weaken the fabric.
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
204
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap
solution or lukewarm water. Do not remove
the belts from the vehicle to wash them. Dry
with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or
worn or if the buckles do not work properly.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immedi-
ately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be re-
placed after a collision if they have been
damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn web-
bing, etc.).
Plastic And Coated Parts
Use Mopar Total Clean to clean vinyl
upholstery.
CAUTION!
•Direct contact of air fresheners, insect
repellents, suntan lotions, or hand sanitiz-
ers to the plastic, painted, or decorated
surfaces of the interior may cause perma-
nent damage. Wipe away immediately.
• Damage caused by these type of prod-
ucts may not be covered by your New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap
solution may be used, but do not use high
alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If
soap is used, wipe clean with a clean
damp cloth.
2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Leather Parts
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved
by regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth.
Small particles of dirt can act as an abrasive
and damage the leather upholstery and should
be removed promptly with a damp cloth. Care
should be taken to avoid soaking your leather
upholstery with any liquid. Please do not use
polishes, oils, cleaning fluids, solvents, deter-
gents, or ammonia-based cleaners to clean
your leather upholstery. Application of a
leather conditioner is not required to maintain
the original condition.
NOTE:
If equipped with light colored leather, it tends
to show any foreign material, dirt, and fabric
dye transfer more so than darker colors. The
leather is designed for easy cleaning.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based
and/or Ketone based cleaning products to
clean leather seats, as damage to the seat
may result.
