MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 89 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES WARNING! Your vehicle has both a high voltage DC and AC system as well as a 12-Volt system. DC and AC high voltage are both extremely dangerous and can cause severe burns, electric shock, serious injury or even death. In order to avoid personal injuries: • DO NOT TOUCH THE HIGH VOLTAGE CABLES (ORANGE COLORED) AND/OR THE CONNECTORS. • Follow all Caution and Warning labels attached to the high voltage (Hybrid System) components.
90 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Traction Power Inverter Module (TPIM) Cooling System – Coolant Level Check Check the TPIM coolant (antifreeze) protection every 12 months (before the onset of freezing weather, where applicable). Check the coolant bottle tubing for brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and tightness of the connection at the bottle and radiator. Inspect the entire system for leaks. NOTE: DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 91 WARNING! • The warning graphic that appears on the cooling system pressure cap is a safety precaution for “DO NOT OPEN HOT”. Never add coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system. To prevent scalding or injury, do not remove the pressure cap while the system is hot or under pressure.
92 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE If the 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. Properly dispose of old coolant (antifreeze) solution. Selection Of Coolant Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 93 Please review these recommendations for using Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) coolant (antifreeze). When adding coolant (antifreeze): Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to maintain the proper level of protection against freezing according to the temperatures occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated. • The manufacturer recommends using MOPAR威 Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology).
94 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Disposal of Used TPIM Coolant Used ethylene glycol based TPIM 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 animals or children, do not store ethylene glycol based TPIM coolant (antifreeze) in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 95 • Maintain coolant (antifreeze) concentration at 50% HOAT coolant (antifreeze) (minimum) and distilled/ deionized water for proper corrosion protection of your engine which contains aluminum components. • Make sure that the TPIM cooler and coolant recovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstructed. • Keep the front of the TPIM cooler clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean.
96 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. In addition, avoid using transmission sealers as they may adversely affect seals. Transfer Case (All Wheel Drive) Inspect the transfer case for fluid leaks. If a fluid leak is evident the transfer case fluid level may be low. Have the transfer case serviced immediately. CAUTION! Damage may result from operation of the vehicle with low transfer case fluid.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 97 Front Axle Front axle fluid level should be 3/4 in (20 mm) +/- 1/8 in (3 mm) below the level of the fill hole. The total lubricant volume is 55 oz (1.6 L). Appearance Care and Protection From Corrosion Washing • Wash your vehicle regularly. Always wash your vehicle in the shade using a mild car wash soap, and rinse the panels completely with clear water. • If insects, tar or other similar deposits have accumulated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
98 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE • A Hybrid vehicle that is in DRIVE with the “READY” light illuminated and gas engine stopped, is NOT a substitute for the NEUTRAL position.
