WHEEL & TIRE SPECIFICATIONS
TIRE REPLACEMENT
The tires on your new vehicle provide a balance of many
characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and
correct inflation pressure. Chrysler strongly recommends that you use
tires equivalent to the originals in quality and performance when
replacement is needed. Failure to use equivalent replacement tires may
adversely affect the safety, handling and ride of your vehicle. We
recommend that you contact your original equipment tire dealer on any
questions you may have on tire specifications or capability.

( 1) - Approximate quantity listed.
( 2) - Use an API energy conserving engine oil that is certified for
gasoline engines on all engines except 3.3L flex-fuel models.
On 3.3L flex-fuel models, use Mopar Flex-Fuel 5W-30 engine oil
or an equivalent that meets Chrysler Standard MS-9214. Proper
engine oil MUST BE used to prevent engine damage. The 3.3L
flex-fuel model may be referred to as Flex-Fuel Vehicle (FFV)
model and is used in all vehicles except California emission
vehicles. Flex-fuel model may be also referred to as an E85
application and may be identified by label attached to inside of
gasoline filler door.
( 3) - Quantity includes heater and coolant recovery tank. Add 2 qts.
(1.9L) if equipped with rear heater.
( 4) - Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transaxle
through all gears and back to Park. Add additional fluid to
bring fluid level to 1/8" below the ADD mark on dipstick.
Recheck fluid level with transaxle at normal operating
temperature. Adjust fluid level so fluid level is within the
HOT range dipstick.
( 5) - An overrunning clutch is bolted on front of rear differential,
between torque tube for drive shaft and rear differential.
Overrunning clutch contains a separate reservoir from rear
differential. Ensure fluids are checked at appropriate
component, as different types of fluids are used. Fluid capacity
is not available from manufacturer.
( 6) - Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic
transmission fluid.
( 7) - Capacity is not available from manufacturer. Fill unit until
fluid level is even with bottom of filler plug hole.
