PRESSURE WASHING
Cleaning the engine compartment with a high pressure
washer is not recommended.
VEHICLE MAINTENANCE
An authorized dealer has the qualified service personnel,
special tools, and equipment to perform all service
operations in an expert manner. Service Manuals are
available which include detailed service information for
your vehicle. Refer to these Service Manuals before
attempting any procedure yourself.
NOTE:Intentional tampering with emissions control systems may
void your warranty and could result in civil penalties being
assessed against you.
ENGINE OIL
Engine Oil Selection
Use only the manufacturer's recommended fluid Úpage 238.
American Petroleum Institute (API)
Approved Engine Oil
These symbols mean that the oil has been certified by the API.
The manufacturer only recommends API trademark oils.
The API Starburst trademark certifies 0W-20,
0W-30 and 5W-30 engine oils.
The API Donut trademark certifies 0W-40 and
5W-40 engine oil.
Synthetic Engine Oils
Your engine was designed for synthetic engine oils, only
use synthetic API approved engine oils.
Synthetic engine oils which do not have both the correct
API trademark and the correct SAE viscosity grade
numbers should not be used.
Materials Added To Engine Oil
The manufacturer strongly recommends against the
addition of any additives (other than leak detection dyes)
to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered product
and its performance may be impaired by supplemental
additives.
Disposing Of Used Engine Oil And Oil
Filters
Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil
filters from your vehicle. Used oil and oil filters, indiscriminately
discarded, can present a problem to the environment. Contact
an authorized dealer, service station or governmental agency
for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be
safely discarded in your area.
ENGINE OIL FILTER
The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at
every engine oil change.
Engine Oil Filter Selection
A full-flow type disposable oil filter should be used for
replacement. The quality of replacement filters varies
considerably. Only high quality Mopar® certified filters
should be used. If a Mopar® Engine Oil Filters are
unavailable only use filters that meet or exceed
SAE/USCAR-36 Filter Performance Requirements.
CAUTION!
Precautions have been taken to safeguard all parts and
connections however, the pressures generated by these
machines is such that complete protection against
water ingress cannot be guaranteed.
WARNING!
You can be badly injured working on or around a motor
vehicle. Only do service work for which you have the
knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any
doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take
your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil as the
chemicals can damage your engine. Such damage is
not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

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
cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at this time.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling —
R–1234yf
R–1234yf Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a Hydrofluo -
roolefin (HFO) that is endorsed by the Environmental
Protection Agency and is an ozone-friendly substance with
a low global-warming potential. It is recommended that air
conditioning service be performed by an authorized dealer
using recovery and recycling equipment.
NOTE:Use only manufacturer approved A/C system PAG
compressor oil, and refrigerants.
Cabin Air Filter
The cabin air filter is located in the fresh air inlet behind
the glove compartment. Perform the following procedure
to replace the filter:
1. Remove all contents from the glove compartment.
Glove Compartment
2. Open the glove compartment door partially, leaving extra slack on the glove compartment tension tether.
Detach the glove compartment tension tether by
sliding the black tension tether clip down, and
popping it out of the slot on the side of the glove
compartment door.
3. There are glove compartment travel stops on either side of the glove compartment door. To release them,
push inward on each travel stop, and pull the glove
compartment door down until the travel stops pass
clear of their hooking points.
WARNING!
Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants
approved by the manufacturer for your air condi -
tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other
unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause
the system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to
Warranty Information located online, for further
warranty information.
The air conditioning system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid risk of personal injury
or damage to the system, adding refrigerant or any
repair requiring lines to be disconnected should be
done by an experienced technician.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning system
as the chemicals can damage your air conditioning
components. Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WARNING!
Do not remove the cabin air filter while the vehicle is
running, or while the ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. With the cabin air filter removed and the blower
operating, the blower can contact hands and may
propel dirt and debris into your eyes, resulting in
personal injury.

4. Open the glove compartment door as far as possible
to gain access to the cabin air filter compartment
cover.
Cabin Air Filter Compartment Cover
5. Pry up the lid of each individual compartment snap, and detach it from the rest of the snap. There is a
small space on the side of each snap to use for
separating the lid from the snap. Once detached,
remove the rest of the snap completely from the
compartment cover.
6. After removing the snaps, lift up the compartment cover to gain access to the fresh air inlet.
Cabin Air Filter Cover
7. Remove the filter cover by prying back each of the retaining tabs from their hooking points, and then
pulling the filter cover out to expose the cabin air
filter. Remove the air filter by pulling it straight out
of the housing.
8. Install the new air filter with the arrow on the filter pointing toward the floor. 9. Once the filter is replaced, reinstall the filter cover,
making sure the retaining tabs are fully secured into
their housings.
10. Close the cabin air filter compartment cover, and reinsert the snaps into their slots. Push the snap lids
until fully attached.
11. Push the glove compartment door to the near closed position to reengage the glove compartment travel
stops. Finally, pull the glove compartment tension
tether clip down and slide it back into the slot on the
side of the glove compartment door.
BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat
tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate,
decklid, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically. Use a lithium-based grease, such as Mopar®
Spray White Lube to ensure quiet, easy operation and to protect
against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant,
the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and
grit; after lubricating, excess oil and grease should be removed.
Particular attention should also be given to hood latching
components to ensure proper function. When performing other
underhood services, the hood latch release mechanism, and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a
year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant, such as Mopar® Lock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.

CAUTION!
The cabin air filter is identified with an arrow to indicate
airflow direction through the filter. Failure to properly install
the filter will result in the need to replace it more often.
