WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING WARNING! • Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the jack or changing the wheel. • Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Preparations For Jacking • Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas. • Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK, or a manual transmission into REVERSE. On Four-Wheel Drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the 4L position. • Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. • Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions WARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle. • Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from the stored location. • Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • For rear wheels, place the jack under the axle between the wheel and the shock bracket with the jack drive tubes extending to the rear. • Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 2500/3500-Series Trucks • For 4x2 front wheels, place the bottle jack under the frame rail behind the wheel. Locate the jack as far forward as possible on the straight part of the frame. • For 4x4 front wheels, place the jack under the axle as close to the tire as possible with the drive tubes extending to the front.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • For rear wheels, place the jack under the axle between the spring and the shock absorber with the drive tubes extending to the rear. CAUTION! Before raising the wheel off the ground, make sure that the jack will not damage surrounding truck parts and adjust the jack position as required. • Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area. • Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station. • Install the wheel center cap and remove the wheel blocks. Do not install chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the spare wheel. This may result in cap damage. WARNING! A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places provided.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES CAUTION! Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur. WARNING! When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES Jump-Starting Procedure WARNING! Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion. CAUTION! Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle. • Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES CAUTION! Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting. EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS • If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front and the rear.
Recommended Method Recommended Method Not Permitted Not Permitted Not Permitted Two-Wheel Drive Transmission not operable Two-Wheel Drive Transmission operable Four-Wheel Drive Flatbed Towing (all four wheels suspended OFF the ground) Recommended Method Flat Towing (all four wheels on the ground) Model TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Shift lever must be in NEUTRAL, the speed less than 30 mph (48 km/h) and the distance traveled less than 15 mi (24 km).
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE • If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. Then, move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES • In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and improve vehicle performance.
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE OPENING THE HOOD • Pull the hood release lever located below the steering wheel at the base of the instrument panel. • Reach into the opening beneath the center of the hood and move the safety latch lever while lifting the hood at the same time.
