ing gear.
CAUTION!
Damage to the transmission may occur if the
following precautions are not observed:
•Shift into PARK only after the vehicle has
come to a complete stop.
• Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the
vehicle has come to a complete stop and
the engine is at idle speed.
• Do not shift from REVERSE, PARK, or
NEUTRAL into any forward gear when the
engine is above idle speed.
• Before shifting into any gear, make sure
your foot is firmly on the brake pedal.

sive shifting and heat buildup. This action
will also provide better engine braking.
The transmission fluid and filter should be
changed if you REGULARLY tow a trailer for
more than 45 minutes of continuous operation.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for the proper
maintenance intervals.
NOTE:
Check the transmission fluid level before
towing (5.7L engine).
To help maintain a comfortable operating
temperature for your transmission, it is rec-
ommended that when towing a maximum
loaded trailer up steep grades with switch
backs, you should use the ERS function on
the transmission shifter to lock your vehicle
into first gear (5.7L Models Only).
Electronic Speed Control – If Equipped
Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads.
When using the speed control, if you expe-rience speed drops greater than 10 mph
(16 km/h), disengage until you can get back
to cruising speed. Use speed control in flat terrain and with light
loads to maximize fuel efficiency.
Cooling System
To reduce potential for engine and transmission
overheating, take the following actions:
City Driving
When stopped for short periods of time, shift
the transmission into NEUTRAL and increase
engine idle speed.
Highway Driving
Reduce speed.
Air Conditioning

Trailer Hitch Attaching Points
Your vehicle will require extra equipment to tow
a trailer safely and efficiently. The trailer tow
hitch must be attached to your vehicle using
the provided attaching points on the vehicle’s
frame. Refer to the following chart to determine
the accurate attaching points. Other equip-
ment, such as trailer sway controls and braking
equipment, trailer equalizing (leveling) equip-
ment and low profile mirrors, may also be
required or strongly recommended.

clean your leather upholstery. Application of a
leather conditioner is not required to maintain
the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning pur-
poses. Many are potentially flammable, and if
used in closed areas, they may cause respi-
ratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch-resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components,
solvents, steel wool or other aggressive mate-
rial to clean the lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a
regular basis with MOPAR
Glass Cleaner or
any commercial household-type glass cleaner.
Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use cau-
tion when cleaning inside rear windows
equipped with electric defrosters. Do not use
scrapers or other sharp instruments which may
scratch the elements.
When cleaning the rearview mirror, spray
cleaner on the towel or rag that you are using.
Do not spray cleaner directly on the mirror.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this
vehicle are molded in clear plastic. When
cleaning the lenses, care must be taken to
avoid scratching the plastic. 1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap
solution may be used, but do not use high
alcohol content or abrasive cleaners. If soap is
used, wipe clean with a clean damp rag.
2. Dry with a soft tissue.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with
chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This
will weaken the fabric. Sun damage will also
weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use MOPAR
Total
Clean, a mild soap solution, or lukewarm water.
Do not remove the belts from the vehicle to
wash them.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn
or if the buckles do not work properly.
Dry with a soft tissue.
