DRAINING FUEL/WATER SEPARATOR
F
ILTER — DIESEL ENGINE
The fuel/water separator housing is located inside the left
frame rail in front of the fuel tank. The best access to this
water drain valve is from under the vehicle.
If necessary remove the fuel filter protective cover to
access the water drain valve.
Fuel/Water Separator Filter
If water is detected in the water separator while the engine
is running, or while the ignition switch is in the ON position,
the Water In Fuel Indicator Light will illuminate and an
audible chime will be heard. At this point you should stop
the engine and drain the water from the filter housing.
Fuel/Water Separator Filter
Within 10 minutes of vehicle shutdown, turn the filter
drain valve (located on the bottom of the filter housing)
counterclockwise to drain fuel/water; allow the
accumulated water to drain. Leave the drain valve open
until all water and contaminants have been removed.
When clear fuel is visible, close the drain valve by turning
it clockwise.
Upon proper draining of the water from fuel filter
assembly, the Water In Fuel Indicator Light will remain
illuminated for approximately 10 seconds. If the water was
drained while the engine was running, the Water In Fuel
Indicator Light may remain on for approximately three
minutes.
NOTE:Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids from your
vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded, can
present a problem to the environment. Contact an autho-
rized dealer, service station, or government agency for
advice on recycling programs and for where used fluids
and filters can be properly disposed of in your area.
If more than two ounces or 60 ml of fuel have been
drained, follow the directions for Priming If The Engine Has
Run Out Of Fuel
Úpage 323.
FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT — DIESEL

NGINE
NOTE:Using a fuel filter that does not meet the manufacturer’s
filtration and water separating requirements can severely
impact fuel system life and reliability. We recommend you
use Mopar® Fuel Filter. Must meet 3 micron rating.
CAUTION!
Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when the
engine is running.
Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.
Drain the filter into an appropriate container.

CAUTION!
Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.
Drain the filter into an appropriate container.
Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel
filter. There is a possibility debris could be introduced
into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to
install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to
prime the fuel system.8

(Continued)
With the engine OFF and cold, the level of the engine
coolant should be within the OK range between the ADD
and FULL range on the dipstick.
1. Remove the cap with level dipstick from the engine
coolant bottle.
2. Clean off the coolant from the dipstick.
3. Rest the cap on the opening of the coolant bottle without tightening the cap.
4. Remove the cap with dipstick and check the coolant level on the dipstick.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so there is
no need to remove the radiator/coolant pressure cap
unless checking for engine coolant freeze point or
replacing coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As
long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory,
the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
When additional engine coolant is needed to maintain the
proper level, only OAT coolant that meets the
requirements of the manufacturer Material Standard
MS.90032 should be added to the coolant bottle. Do not
overfill.
Cooling System Notes
NOTE:When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/kilometers
of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the front
of the engine compartment. This is normally a result of
moisture from rain, snow, or high humidity accumulating
on the radiator and being vaporized when the thermostat
opens, allowing hot engine coolant (antifreeze) to enter
the radiator. If an examination of your engine compartment shows no
evidence of radiator or hose leaks, the vehicle may be
safely driven. The vapor will soon dissipate.
Do not overfill the coolant expansion bottle.
Check the coolant freeze point in the radiator and in
the coolant expansion bottle. If engine coolant needs
to be added, the contents of the coolant expansion
bottle must also be protected against freezing.
If frequent engine coolant additions are required, the
cooling system should be pressure tested for leaks.
Maintain engine coolant concentration at a minimum
of 50% OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) and
distilled water for proper corrosion protection of your
engine which contains aluminum components.
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 cooling performance,
poor gas mileage, and increased emissions.BRAKE SYSTEM
In order to ensure brake system performance, all brake
system components should be inspected periodically. For
the proper maintenance intervals
Úpage 307.
Fluid Level Check — Brake Master Cylinder
The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked
whenever the vehicle is serviced, or immediately if the
Brake System Warning Light is on. If necessary, add fluid
to bring level within the designated marks on the side of
the reservoir of the brake master cylinder. Be sure to clean
the top of the master cylinder area before removing cap.
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. If the brake fluid is abnormally
low, check the system for leaks
Úpage 376.
WARNING!
Riding the brakes can lead to brake failure and possibly
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.
WARNING!
Use only the manufacturer recommended brake fluid Úpage 376. 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.

Tread Wear Indicators
Tread wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to
help you in determining when your tires should be
replaced.
Tire Tread
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread
grooves. They will appear as bands when the tread depth
becomes 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm). When the tread is
worn to the tread wear indicators, the tire should be
replaced.
For further information
Úpage 354.
Life Of Tire
The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors
including, but not limited to:
Driving style.
Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures can
cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tread
life, resulting in the need for earlier tire replacement.
Distance driven.
Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or
higher, and Summer tires typically have a reduced
tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle sched-
uled maintenance is highly recommended.
NOTE:Wheel valve stem must be replaced as well when installing
new tires due to wear and tear in existing tires.
Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little
exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact
with oil, grease, and gasoline.
Replacement Tires
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for
wear and correct cold tire inflation pressures. The
manufacturer strongly recommends using tires equivalent
to the originals in size, quality and performance when
replacement is needed. Refer to the paragraph on “Tread
Wear Indicators” in this section. Refer to the Tire And
Loading Information Placard or the Vehicle Certification
Label for the size designation of your tire. The Load Index
and Speed Symbol for your tire will be found on the original
equipment tire sidewall. For more information relating to the Load Index and Speed
Symbol of a tire
Úpage 346.
It is recommended to replace the two front tires or two rear
tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect
your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make
sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the
original wheels.
It is recommended you contact an authorized tire dealer or
original equipment dealer with any questions you may
have on tire specifications or capability. Failure to use
equivalent replacement tires may adversely affect the
safety, handling, and ride of your vehicle.
1 — Tread Wear Indicators
WARNING!
Tires and the spare tire should be replaced after six
years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow
this warning can result in sudden tire failure. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in serious
injury or death.
WARNING!
Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating, or speed
rating other than that specified for your vehicle.
Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels
may change suspension dimensions and perfor -
mance characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle. This
can cause unpredictable handling and stress to
steering and suspension components. You could
lose control and have a collision resulting in serious
injury or death. Use only the tire and wheel sizes with
load ratings approved for your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load index or capacity,
other than what was originally equipped on your
vehicle. Using a tire with a smaller load index could
result in tire overloading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.
