SERVICE PROCEDURES
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
There are two maintenance schedules that show
proper service for the vehicle.
First is Schedule "A". It lists all the scheduled
maintenance to be performed under "normal" operating
conditions.
Second is Schedule "B". It is a schedule for vehicles
that are operated under the conditions listed at
the beginning of that schedule.
Use the schedule that best describes the driving
conditions.
Where time and mileage are listed, follow the
interval that occurs first.
At Each Stop For Gasoline
- Check engine oil level, add as required.
- Check windshield washer solvent and add if
required.
- Clean windshield and wiper blades as required.
Once A Month
- Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear
or damage.
- Inspect battery and clean and tighten terminals
as required.
- Check fluid levels of coolant reservoir, power
steering and transmission and add as needed.
- Check all lights and all other electrical items for
correct operation.
- Inspect and clean wiper blades. Replace if
required.
At Each Oil Change
- Inspect exhaust system.
- Inspect brake hoses
- Rotate the tires at each oil change interval
shown on Schedule "A" (7,500 miles) or every other
interval shown on Schedule "B" (6,000 miles).
- Check engine coolant level, hoses, and clamps.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The scheduled emission maintenance listed in bold
type on the Maintenance Schedules, must be done at
the mileage specified to assure the continued proper
functioning of the emission control system. These,
and all other maintenance services included in this
manual, should be done to provide the best vehicle
performance and reliability. More frequent maintenance
may be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions such as dusty areas and very short trip
driving.

*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, especially
in hot weather, use of vehicle for off-the-highway
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 suspected.
