HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Orgaiizatiei
This manual is divided into three major sections: Sec-
tion 1—Power Plant, Section 2—Chassis, and Section
3—Body. These sections are comprised of chapters per-
taining to the section topic. The Section Index at the front
of this manual has a locator tab for each section.
The first page of each chapter in this manual contains
a black tab in a position corresponding to the tab on the
Chapter Index page for each section. To locate a desired
chapter, simply fold back the manual slightly so that the
outside edges of the pages are exposed. Find the black
tab that aligns with the tab on the Chapter Index page
and open to the desired chapter.
Each chapter begins with an alphabetical index of
subjects. Locate the desired subject and turn to the
appropriate page. If the subject is broad, the chapter is
divided into sections and a subject index of each section
is also included. An alphabetical index of all subjects is
located at the back of this manual.
Each chapter ends with specifications, torque charts
and special tools pertinent to that chapter.
Warnings anl Gamins
Detailed descriptions of standard workshop safety
procedures are not included in this manual. This manual
does contain WARNINGS for some service procedures
that could cause personal injury, and CAUTIONS for
some procedures that could damage the vehicle or its
components. Please understand that these WARNINGS
and CAUTIONS do not cover all conceivable ways which
service might be done or all possible hazardous con-
sequences of each conceivable way. Anyone using serv-
ice procedures or tools (whether or not recommended by
Jeep Corporation) must satisfy himself that neither per-
sonal nor vehicle safety will be jeopardized by the pro-
cedures or tools selected.
Diagnosis And Repair Simplification (DAIS) Charts
In several places throughout this manual, Jeep Corpo-
ration's new Diagnosis and Repair Simplification
(DARS) charts provide a graphic method of diagnosis
and troubleshooting through the use of pictures and
symbols.
The DARS charts are different from the ones you
have used before. They are not "go-no g o " decision trees
or tables.
