  • Page 426 Cooling System – Drain, Flush and Refill Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for further information. If the engine coolant (antifreeze) is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner. Follow with a thorough rinsing to remove all deposits and chemicals.
  • Page 427 426 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! (Continued) • This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based engine coolant (anti- freeze). Use of propylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is not recommended. Adding Coolant Your vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals.
  • Page 428 Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of protection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated. NOTE: Mixing engine coolant (antifreeze) types will decrease the life of the engine coolant (antifreeze) and will require more frequent engine coolant (antifreeze) changes.
  • Page 429 428 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Disposal of Used Coolant Used ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance requiring proper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community. To prevent ingestion by ani- mals or children, do not store ethylene glycol-based engine coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground.

  • Page 436: Appearance Care And Protection From Corrosion

    Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion Vehicle body care requirements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage. Chemicals that make roads passable in snow and ice and those that are sprayed on trees and road surfaces during other seasons are highly corrosive to the metal in your vehicle.
  • Page 437 436 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE • If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have accumu- lated on your vehicle, use MOPAR Super Kleen Bug and Tar Remover or equivalent to remove. • Use a high quality cleaner wax, such as MOPAR Cleaner Wax to remove road film, stains and to protect your paint finish.

  • Page 439 438 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE • Do not use any harsh solvents or any other form of protectants on Stain Repel products. Interior Care Instrument Panel Cover The instrument panel cover has a low glare surface, which minimizes reflections in the windshield. Do not use protectants or other products, which may cause undesirable reflections.
  • Page 440 WARNING! Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes. Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed areas they may cause respiratory 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.
  • Page 441: Cleaning The Cupholders

    440 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 1. Clean with a wet soft rag. A mild soap solution may be used, but do not use high alcohol content or abrasive cleaners.
