NOTE:There is a 60 second timer for training the first
tire and a 30 second timer between training the remain-
ing tires. If either of these timers expire, the EVIC will
abort the training procedure.
6. Starting at the left front tire, place the training magnet
over the valve stem until the horn chirps (This takes
approximately 5 seconds).7. Repeat step 6 working clockwise around the vehicle
(Left Front, Right Front, Right Rear, Left Rear, Spare) until

Infrared Dual-Zone Climate Control Ð If Equipped
The Infrared Dual-Zone Climate Control System auto-
matically maintains the interior comfort level desired by
the driver and passenger. This is accomplished by using
a dual infrared sensor located in the face of the control
unit. The dual infrared sensor independently measures
the surface temperature of the driver and passenger.
Based on the sensor input, the system automatically
adjusts the air flow temperature, the air flow volume, andamount of outside air recirculation. This maintains a
comfortable temperature even under changing condi-
tions.
Operation of the system is quite simple. Begin by turning
the right mode knob to AUTO. Dial in the temperature
you would like the system to maintain by rotating the
driver's or passenger's control knob. Once the comfort

Alignment and Balance
The suspension components of your vehicle should be
inspected and aligned when needed, to obtain maximum
tire tread life.
Poor suspension alignment may result in:
²reduced tread life;
²uneven tire wear, such as feathering and one-sided
wear;
²vehicle pull to the right or to the left.
Tires may also cause the vehicle to pull left or right.
Alignment will not correct this problem. See your dealer
for proper diagnosis of the problem.
Improper alignment will not normally cause vehicle
vibration, which may be a result of tire and wheel
out-of-balance. Proper balancing will reduce vibration
and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM Ð IF
EQUIPPED
The Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPM) monitors the
pressure in all 4 road tires and the full size spare (5 Tire
TPM System Only). The TPM system uses wireless
technology to monitor tire pressure levels. Sensors,
mounted to each wheel as part of the valve stem, transmit
tire pressure readings to a receiver located in the over-
head console. The tire pressure status is shown in the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) display.
Refer to ªOverhead Consoleº in Section 3 for more
information. The TPM system functions even when the
EVIC is not set on the tire pressure display screen.
The TPM system informs you of a low or high tire
pressure condition. If this occurs, correct your tire infla-
tion pressure as soon as possible, and inspect all of your
tires. Be sure to use a high quality gauge when adjusting
pressure. The TPM system is designed to monitor your
tire pressure but will not function as a tire pressure

gauge. There will be a delay between the instant you
adjust the air pressure in a tire and when the system
updates the display. The TPM system is not intended to
provide you with notification of rapid air loss.
The following chart indicates the TPM system pressure
levels. A threshold is the level at which the TPM system
provides you with an indication.
High Pressure Threshold 45 psi (310 kPa )
Placard Pressure (Cold) 33 psi (227 kPa)
Low Pressure Threshold 25 psi (172 kPa)
NOTE: A TPM system does not replace normal tire
maintenance.
CAUTION!
The TPM system has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPM system pressures
have been established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable operation or sensor dam-
age may result when using replacement equipment
that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do
not use tire sealant or balance beads if your vehicle
is equipped with TPM system as damage to the
sensors may result.
Tire Pressure Monitor System Tire/Wheel
Rotation and Sensor Replacement Ð If Equipped
With the 5 Tire TPM System, if a road tire and wheel is
replaced by the spare, the TPM system will detect the
swap automatically (after the ignition has been cycled)

and display SPARE SWAP DETECTED along with a
chime. This could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle
speed above 25 mph (40 km/h).
With the 4 Tire TPM System, if a road tire and wheel is
replaced by the spare, the TPM system will display TIRE
SENSOR BAD/MISSING. This is due to the spare tire not
being equipped with a tire pressure sensor. Once the road
tire is repaired and/or installed back on the vehicle with
the proper tire pressure the message will be removed.
This could take up to 10 minutes with vehicle speed
above 25 mph (40 km/h).
The tire pressure sensorsmustbe retrained following a
wheel rotation or sensor replacement. Refer to ªEVIC Ð
Retrain Tire Sensorsº in Section 3 for more information. It
is necessary to program the EVIC with the new sensor(s)
or the new position of each sensor as it is rotated to a
different corner of the vehicle.If a wheel rotation is not followed by the retrain proce-
dure, the system will not properly inform you of the
correct vehicle location of a low or high tire pressure.

aftermarket equipment to the front of your vehicle.
This could adversely affect the functioning of the
airbag system and you could be injured.
234 STARTING AND OPERATING

attention should also be given to hood latching compo-
nents to insure 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 fall and spring. Apply a small
amount of a high quality lubricant such as MopartLock
Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder.
Windshield Wiper Blades
The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield
should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner to remove accumulations
of salt or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods
may cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use
washer fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt
from a dry windshield.Avoid using the wiper blades to wipe frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with
petroleum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
Windshield Washers Ð Front and Rear
On vehicles equipped with a Vehicle Information Center,
the low washer fluid level will be indicated. When the
sensor detects a low fluid level, the windshield will light
on the vehicle graphic outline and the ªWasher Fluid
Lowº message will be displayed.
The fluid reservoir for the windshield washers and the
rear window washer is shared. It is located in the front of
the engine compartment on the passenger side and
should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill
the reservoir with windshield washer solvent (not radia-
tor antifreeze) and operate the system for a few seconds
to flush out the residual water.
