FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or
snow, it can often be moved using a rocking
motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to
clear the area around the front wheels. For
vehicles with automatic transmission, push and
hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then
shift back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) (with automatic transmission) or
SECOND (2) gear and REVERSE (R) (with manual
transmission), while gently pressing the
accelerator.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal
pressu

re that will maintain the rocking motion
without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
For Vehicles With Automatic Transmission:
Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be
a chiev

ed at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or
less.
Whenever the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must
press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or
REVERSE.
NOTE:
Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic
Stabi l
ity Control (ESC) system in “Partial OFF”
mode, before rocking the vehicle Ú page 223.
Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF
button

again to restore “ESC On” mode.

Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling —
R–1234yf
R–1234yf Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a
hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) that is endorsed by the
Environmental Protection Agency and is an
ozone-friendly substance with a low
global-warming potential. The manufacturer
recommends that air conditioning service be
performed by an authorized dealer using recovery
and recycling equipment.
NOTE:
Use only the manufacturer approved A/C system
PAG c om
pressor oil, and refrigerants.
Cabin Air Cleaner
See an authorized dealer for service.
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 with
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.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth
and a mild nonabrasive cleaner. This will 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 remove frost or ice
from th
e windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of
contact with petroleum products such as engine
oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending
on geog r
aphical area and frequency of use. Poor
performance of blades may be present with chat -tering, marks, water lines or wet spots. If any of
these


conditions are present, clean the wiper
blades or replace as necessary.
Service Position Strategy
The service position allows the wiper blades to be
placed in a position that allows the wiper blades to
be easily changed.
To enable the Service Position Strategy, the wipers
must b

e in the Park position before placing the
ignition in the STOP/OFF position.
Service mode must be activated within two
minut e

s after the ignition is placed in the STOP/
OFF position.
To have a correct activation of strategy, the Service
Positi on

command (antipanic) must be active for at
least half a second.
At every valid activation of Service Position
comman d

, the wiper blades are activated for
250 ms.
The Service Position command can be repeated
sever a

l times to bring the blades into the desired
position, up to a maximum of three times.
After three subsequent activations the strategy is
disab l

ed.
