INTRODUCTION

Chrysler Corporation has compiled recommended lubrication and maintenance schedules and procedures to help reduce premature wear or failure over a broad range of operating conditions. When selecting the proper maintenance schedule, the climate and operating conditions must be considered. A vehicle subjected to severe usage requires service more frequently than a vehicle used for general transportation.

PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS

When service is required, Chrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopart brand parts, lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopart provides the best engineered products for servicing Chrysler Corporation vehicles.

SEVERE SERVICE

If a vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, it is considered severe service.

²Extremely dusty areas.

²50% or more of vehicle operation in 32°C (90°F) or higher temperatures.

²Prolonged idling ( such as, vehicle operation in stop and go traffic).

²Frequent short running periods. Not allowing engine to warm to operating temperatures.

²Police or taxi usage.

FUEL USAGE

with a minimum octane rating of 87,(R + M)/2. See Engine section of this group for Fuel Recommendations.

CLASSIFICATION OF LUBRICANTS

Only lubricants that are endorsed by the following organizations standards should be used to service a Chrysler Corporation vehicle.

²Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)

²American Petroleum Institute (API)

²National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)

ENGINE OIL

SAE GRADE RATING INDICATES ENGINE OIL VISCOSITY

²SAE 30 = single grade engine oil.

²SAE 5W-30 = multiple grade engine oil.

API QUALITY CLASSIFICATION.

²SG service engine oil is a high quality crankcase lubricant designed for use in all naturally aspirated engines.

²SG/CD service engine oil is a high quality crankcase lubricant designed for use in most naturally aspirated and turbocharged gasoline or diesel engines.

GEAR LUBRICANTS

SAE ratings also apply to multiple grade gear lubricants. In addition, API classification defines the lubricants usage.

DO NOT ALLOW JUMPER CABLE CLAMPS TO TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO A BOOSTER SOURCE.

DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME NEAR BATTERY. REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY WORN ON HANDS

OR WRISTS TO AVOID INJURY BY ACCIDENTAL ARCHING OF BATTERY CURRENT.

Ä

WHEN USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOSTING DEVICE, DO NOT ALLOW BATTERY VOLTAGE TO EXCEED 16 VOLTS. REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED WITH DEVICE BEING USED.

CAUTION: When using another vehicle as a booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical systems can be damaged on either vehicle.

TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:

(1) Raise hood on disabled vehicle and visually inspect engine compartment for:

²Battery cable clamp condition, clean if necessary.

²Frozen battery.

²Yellow or bright color test indicator, if equipped.

²Low battery fluid level.

²Alternator drive belt condition and tension.

²Fuel fumes or leakage, correct if necessary.

CAUTION: If the cause of starting problem on disabled vehicle is severe, damage to booster vehicle charging system can result.

(2)When using another vehicle as a booster source, turn off all accessories, place gear selector in park or neutral, set park brake and operate engine at 1200 rpm.

(3)On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park or neutral and set park brake. Turn off all accessories.

(4)Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to negative terminal (-). DO NOT allow clamps at opposite end of cables to touch, electrical arc will result (Fig. 1). Review all warnings in this procedure.

(5)On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK jumper cable clamp to engine ground as close to the ground cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).

CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will overheat and could fail.

(6) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to start engine. If engine does not start within 15 seconds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool (15 min.), before cranking again.

DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:

²Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine ground on disabled vehicle.

²When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect BLACK cable clamp from battery negative terminal. Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive terminal.

²Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive terminal on disabled vehicle.

HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS

Refer to Owner's Manual provided with vehicle for proper emergency jacking procedures.

WARNING: THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHICLE. WHEN THE ENGINE OR REAR SUSPENSION IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.

TO HOIST OR JACK VEHICLE SEE FIGS. 2 THROUGH 7:

TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS

RECOMMENDED TOWING EQUIPMENT

To avoid damage to bumper fascia and air dams use of a wheel lift or flat bed towing device (Fig. 8) is recommended. When using a wheel lift towing de-

vice, be sure the unlifted end of disabled vehicle has at least 100 mm (4 in.) ground clearance. If minimum ground clearance cannot be reached, use a towing dolly. If a flat bed device is used, the approach angle should not exceed 15 degrees.

GROUND CLEARANCE

CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.

Fig. 5 Hoisting and Jacking PointsÐAG Body

Fig. 6 Hoisting and Jacking PointsÐAJ Body

A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be sure there is adequate ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when towing over rough terrain or steep rises in the road. If necessary, remove the wheels from the lifted end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle closer to the ground, to increase the ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching studs to retain brake drums or rotors.
