Driving Tips

Change engine oil/replace filter every 3,000**/5,000 miles Check lug nut torque every 5,000 miles, for tire rotation intervals, see Owners Manual Normal operating conditions A. Inspect: Engine cooling system,

hoses and clamps, steering linkage, suspension, brake system Inspect/lubricate: 4x2 ball joints, caliper slide rails

B. Replace: Air filter/fuel filter Inspect: Exhaust system, automatic transmission fluid level

C. Lubricate: 4x2 wheel bearings Replace: Manual transmission fluid

D. Inspect: Accessory drive belt(s) Replace: Spark plugs Replace: PCV valve

(2.3L/3.0L/4.0L) Change: Yellow engine coolant

Special operating conditions Towing, extensive idling, low speed driving, dusty conditions and off-road operation, see Owners Manual E . Inspect: Brake system F . Replace: Fuel filter G. Change: Automatic

transmission fluid H. Lubricate: Front wheel

bearings (4x2) I . Change: Transfer case fluid (4x4) J . Replace: Spark plugs Perform maintenance as required Inspect/lubricate: U-joints, clutch fluid level Replace: Engine air filter Change: Manual transmission fluid

Break-in period First 1,000 miles: Avoid heavy repeated brake use; avoid full throttle, rapid acceleration or kick-down of transmission; drive at varying road and engine speeds Do not tow a trailer for first 500 miles Do not use special break-in oils Tip: Follow the same break-in period procedures with newly overhauled engine or when brakes are replaced 4-wheel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) ABS automatically reduces hydraulic pressure to all four wheels (4-wheel ABS) on the verge of locking up

You may feel a slight pulsing of the brake pedal and hear a clicking noise, this tells you the ABS is functioning properly Tips: Maintain constant pressure on the brake pedal Do not pump the brakes ABS self test A self-diagnostic test is performed when the engine is started; you may feel some pulsation and hear some noise; this is normal Tire economy and tips Check pressure monthly when tires are cold Check for unusual wear and overall condition, do not exceed weight limit on tires and axles Maintain correct front-end alignment and tire balance; see Owners Manual for rotation chart

Tire pressure Decal on the edge of the drivers door provides tire size and pressure information Tire chains*

Tire chains can damage aluminum wheels; use on steel wheels only Tips: Use only SAE class S chains, install only on rear tires; install as tightly as possible and retighten periodically Never exceed 30 mph with tire chains
