SERVICE PROCEDURES
HOISTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to Owner’s Manual provided with vehicle for
proper emergency jacking procedures.
WARNING:
THE HOISTING AND JACK LIFTING
POINTS PROVIDED ARE FOR A COMPLETE VEHI-
CLE. WHEN THE ENGINE OR REAR SUSPENSION
IS REMOVED FROM A VEHICLE, THE CENTER OF
GRAVITY IS ALTERED MAKING SOME HOISTING
CONDITIONS UNSTABLE. PROPERLY SUPPORT OR
SECURE VEHICLE TO HOISTING DEVICE WHEN
THESE CONDITIONS EXIST.
CAUTION:
Do not position hoisting device on sus-
pension components, damage to vehicle can result.
For proper hoisting and jacking points, refer to
(Fig. 1).
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING: REVIEW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND WARNINGS IN GROUP 8A, BATTERY.
DO NOT JUMP START A FROZEN BATTERY, PER-
SONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
DO NOT JUMP START WHEN MAINTENANCE
FREE BATTERY INDICATOR DOT IS YELLOW OR
BRIGHT COLOR.
A BATTERY GENERATES HYDROGEN GAS WHICH
IS FLAMMABLE AND EXPLOSIVE. KEEP OPEN FLAME
OR SPARKS AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
DO NOT ALLOW JUMPER CABLE CLAMPS TO
TOUCH EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO A
BOOSTER SOURCE.
DO NOT ALLOW BATTERY VOLTAGE TO EXCEED
16 VOLTS.
TAKE CARE TO AVOID THE RADIATOR COOLING
FAN WHENEVER THE HOOD IS RAISED. THE FAN
CAN START AT ANYTIME THE IGNITION SWITCH IS
ON. YOU CAN BE HURT BY THE FAN.
BATTERY FLUID IS A CORROSIVE ACID SOLU-
TION: DO NOT ALLOW BATTERY FLUID TO CON-
TACT
EYES,
SKIN,
OR
CLOTHING.
IF
ACID
SPLASHES IN EYES OR ON SKIN, FLUSH THE
CONTAMINATED AREA IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE
QUANTITIES OF WATER.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to push or tow the vehi-
cle to start it. The vehicle cannot be started this
way. Pushing with another vehicle may damage the
transaxle or the rear of the vehicle.
If the vehicle has a discharged battery, booster
cables may be used to obtain a start from another
vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done
improperly, so follow the procedure carefully.

NOTE: The battery is stored in a compartment in
front of the tire in the right front fender and is
accessible through the engine compartment.
TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:
If the indicator is dark or shows a green dot, pro-
ceed as follows:
(1) Wear eye protection and remove metallic jew-
elry worn on hands or wrists to avoid injury by acci-
dental arcing of battery current.
(2) When using another vehicle as a booster
source, park the booster vehicle within cable reach
without allow vehicles to touch.
(3) Turn off all accessories, set the parking brake,
place the automatic transmission in PARK, and turn
the ignition OFF in both vehicles.
(4) Connect one end of the positive jumper cable to
the positive jump start attachment of the booster
battery. Connect the other end of the cable to the
positive jump start attachment of the discharged bat-
tery (Fig. 2).
(5) Connect one end of the negative jumper cable
to the negative jump start attachment of the booster
battery. Connect the other end of the cable to the
negative jump start attachment of the discharged
battery (Fig. 3). Ensure that the jump cable clamps
have good connections.
(6) Start the engine in the vehicle which has the
booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
then start the engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
CAUTION:
Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(7) When removing the jumper cables:
• Disconnect jumper cable negative clamp from
the disabled vehicle.
• Disconnect the jumper cable negative clamp
from the booster battery start attachment.
• Disconnect jumper cable positive clamp from dis-
able battery start attachment.
• Disconnect jumper cable positive clamp from
booster battery start attachment.
TOWING RECOMMENDATIONS
WARNING:
•
Do NOT tow vehicle with front wheels on the
ground. The transaxle can be damaged.
•
Secure loose and protruding parts from a dis-
abled vehicle.
•
Always use a safety chain system that is inde-
pendent of the lifting and towing equipment.
•
Do not allow any of the towing equipment to
contact the fuel tank of the vehicle being towed.
•
Do not go under the vehicle while it is lifted by
the towing equipment.
•
Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle
being towed.
•
Always observe all state and local laws pertain-
ing to warning signals, night illumination, speed, etc.
•
Do not attempt a towing operation that could
jeopardize the operator, bystanders or other motor-
ists.
•
Do not exceed a towing speed of 48 km/h (30
mph).
•
Avoid towing distances of more than 24 km (15
miles), whenever possible.
•
Never attach tow chains or a tow sling to the
bumper,
steering
linkage,
or
constant
velocity
joints.

SERVICE PROCEDURES (Continued)
RECOMMENDED TOWING EQUIPMENT
To avoid damage to bumper fascia and air dams
use of a wheel lift or flat bed towing device (Fig. 4) is
recommended. When using a wheel lift towing device,
be sure the rear end of disabled vehicle has at least
100 mm (4 inches) ground clearance. If minimum
ground clearance cannot be reached, use a towing
dolly. If a flat bed device is used, the approach angle
should not exceed:
• 13 degrees for Intrepid
• 12 degrees for Concorde, Vision, and 300M
• Additional ramping may be required.
GROUND CLEARANCE
CAUTION:
If
vehicle
is
towed
with
wheels
removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or
rotors.
A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels
are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be
sure there is adequate ground clearance at the oppo-
site end of the vehicle, especially when towing over
rough terrain or steep rises in the road. If necessary,
remove the wheels from the lifted end of the vehicle
and lower the vehicle closer to the ground, to
increase the ground clearance at the opposite end of
the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching studs
to retain braking discs.
TIE DOWN LOCATIONS FOR FLAT BED
TOWING
There are two reinforced elongated holes on each
side of the vehicle designed to serve as hold down
locations. These locations can safely hold the vehicle
to the towing device using T or R hooks.
• Bottom of the forward torque box between the
front frame rail and the rocker panel.
• Bottom of the rearward torque box forward of
the rear wheel.
FRONT TOWING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Do not tow vehicle from the front with
sling type towing device. Damage to bumper fascia
will result.
Always tow vehicle with front wheels off the
ground as shown (Fig. 5).
Use a flat bed towing device when wheel lift tow-
ing device is not available.
REAR TOWING PROCEDURES
CAUTION:
Do not tow vehicle with the rear end
lifted.
If damage to the vehicle prevents front towing, use
a flat bed towing device.
CAUTION:
Do not push the vehicle with another
vehicle as damage to the bumper fascia and trans-
axle can result.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WHEEL ALIGNMENT
Proper vehicle wheel alignment is the proper
adjustment of all interrelated front and rear suspen-
sion angles (Fig. 1). These angles are what affects
the handling and steering of the vehicle when it is in
motion.
The method of checking a vehicle’s front and rear
wheel alignment will vary depending on the type and
manufacturer of the equipment being used. Instruc-
tions furnished by the manufacturer of the equip-
ment being used should always be followed to ensure
accuracy of the alignment, except when alignment
specifications recommended by Chrysler Corporation
differ.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to modify any suspen-
sion or steering components by heating or bending
of the component.
When performing a four wheel alignment always
check and adjust the rear wheel alignment first.
Camber is the number of degrees the top of the
tire and wheel are tilted either inward or outward.
