*This maintenance is recommended by Chrysler

Corporation to the customer but is not required to
maintain warranty on the PCV valve.

‡Prolonged operation with heavy loading, espe-

cially in hot weather, use of vehicle for off-the-high-
way operation, and trailer towing require the more
frequent transmission service indicated with a ‡ in
Schedule “B”. Perform these services if the vehicle is
usually operated under these conditions.

Important: Inspection and service should also be

performed any time a malfunction is observed or sus-
pected.

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE

WARNING: REVIEW ALL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
AND WARNINGS IN GROUP 8A, BATTERY/START-
ING/CHARGING SYSTEMS DIAGNOSTICS. DO NOT
JUMP START A FROZEN BATTERY, PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT. DO NOT JUMP START WHEN
MAINTENANCE FREE BATTERY INDICATOR DOT IS
YELLOW OR BRIGHT COLOR. DO NOT JUMP
START A VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY FLUID IS
BELOW THE TOP OF LEAD PLATES. DO NOT
ALLOW

JUMPER

CABLE

CLAMPS

TO

TOUCH

EACH OTHER WHEN CONNECTED TO A BOOSTER
SOURCE. DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME NEAR BAT-
TERY. REMOVE METALLIC JEWELRY WORN ON
HANDS OR WRISTS TO AVOID INJURY BY ACCI-
DENTAL ARCING OF BATTERY CURRENT. WHEN
USING A HIGH OUTPUT BOOSTING DEVICE, DO
NOT ALLOW BATTERY VOLTAGE TO EXCEED 16
VOLTS.

REFER

TO

INSTRUCTIONS

PROVIDED

WITH DEVICE BEING USED.

CAUTION: When

using

another

vehicle

as

a

booster, do not allow vehicles to touch. Electrical
systems can be damaged on either vehicle.

TO JUMP START A DISABLED VEHICLE:

(1) Raise hood on disabled vehicle and visually

inspect engine compartment for:

• Battery cable clamp condition, clean if necessary.

• Frozen battery.

• Yellow or bright color test indicator, if equipped.

• Low battery fluid level.

• Generator drive belt condition and tension.

• Fuel fumes or leakage, correct if necessary.

CAUTION: If the cause of starting problem on dis-
abled vehicle is severe, damage to booster vehicle
charging system can result.

(2) When using another vehicle as a booster

source, park the booster vehicle within cable reach.
Turn off all accessories, set the parking brake, place
the automatic transmission in PARK or the manual
transmission in NEUTRAL and turn the ignition
OFF.

(3) On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park

or neutral and set park brake. Turn off all accesso-
ries.

(4) Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED

clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to neg-
ative terminal (-). DO NOT allow clamps at opposite
end of cables to touch, electrical arc will result.
Review all warnings in this procedure.

(5) On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable

clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK
jumper cable clamp to engine ground as close to the
ground cable attaching point as possible (Fig. 1).

(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) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to

at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.

DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:

• Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine

ground on disabled vehicle.

• When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect

BLACK cable clamp from battery negative terminal.
Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal.

• Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery posi-

tive terminal on disabled vehicle.
