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 recommended.
T/A Air Filter Maintenance — If Equipped
Clean Engine Air Filter
The scheduled air filter cleaning interval is 30,000 miles
(48,280 km), or if in a dusty environment the engine air filter
should be checked periodically to ensure optimal air flow.
Cleaning your engine air filter with the recommended
Mopar Performance Air Filter Service Kit is not required if
you can still see any part the wire screen on the entire air
filter regardless of how dirty it may appear. When any part
of the wire screen is no longer visible on the air filter, that
is an indication it is time to clean the air filter.
1. Spray the air filter with the recommended Mopar airfilter cleaner and let sit for at least 10 minutes to loosen
dirt, before rinsing.
NOTE: Never use strong detergents, high pressure, or
gasoline on air filter. 2. Rinse the air filter with cool low-pressure water applied
from the inside (clean side) out in order to flush the dirt
out of the filter. Continue to rinse the filter until all
traces of the cleaner have been removed.
NOTE: It may be necessary to repeat steps 1 and 2 if the air
filter is not completely clean.
3. After rinsing the air filter, gently shake off the excess water and allow air filter to dry naturally. Do not apply
oil until air filter is completely dry.
NOTE: Do not use forced air pressure as it may damage the
filtering capabilities of the filter ’s microfibers and also void
its warranty.
4.
Using the Mopar Performance Air Filter Service Kit, spray
oil evenly along the crown of each filter pleat holding the
nozzle about 3 inches (76mm) away from the air filter. One
spray per 2 square inches (1,290 square mm) of air filter.
With one complete coat of oil, let it wick (saturate) for
about 20 minutes, and if required touch up any light areas
on either side of the filter.
Air Conditioner Maintenance
For best possible performance, your air conditioner should
be checked and serviced by an authorized dealer at the
start of each warm season. This service should include
356 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

•Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at a
minimum of 50% OAT coolant (conforming to
MS.90032) and distilled water for proper corrosion pro-
tection of your engine which contains aluminum com-
ponents.
• Make sure that the coolant expansion bottle overflow
hoses are not kinked or obstructed.
• Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is
equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the
condenser clean.
• Do not change the thermostat for Summer or Winter
operation. If replacement is ever necessary, install ONLY
the correct type thermostat. Other designs may result in
unsatisfactory engine coolant (antifreeze) performance,
poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.
Brake System
In order to assure brake system performance, all brake
system components should be inspected periodically. Refer
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.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder immediately if
the brake system warning light indicates system failure.
Check the fluid level in the master cylinder when perform-
ing underhood services.
Clean the top of the master cylinder area before removing
the cap. Add fluid to bring the level up to the top of the
“FULL” mark on the side of the master cylinder reservoir.
Overfilling of fluid is not recommended because it may
cause leaking in the system.
