Lubrication & Maintenance: Overview Chrysler Crossfire I

DESCRIPTION

DaimlerChrysler Corporation uses international symbols to identify engine compartment lubricant and fluid inspection and fill locations.

Scheme 1

Scheme 2

Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI symbol on the label. At the bottom NLGI symbol is the usage and quality identification letters. Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter "G". Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter "L". The letter following the usage letter indicates the quality of the lubricant. The associated symbols indicate the highest quality.

When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corporation recommends that only Mopar(R) brand parts, lubricants and chemicals be used. Mopar provides the best engineered products for servicing DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles.

The fluid fill/check locations are noted, and located in each of the applicable areas of Service Information.

Lubrication points are noted, and located in each of the applicable areas of Service Information.

Scheme 3

The Flexible Service System (FSS) is a demand-activated engine oil service system. The FSS will illuminate a symbol (2) in the instrument cluster to indicate to the driver when a particular service is due. After a level has dropped below a warning threshold, the remaining distance or the remaining time and the tool symbol (2) are displayed in the panel of the odometer.

The FSS is supplied the time intervals from the digital clock in the instrument cluster. The remaining information is supplied by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and the Controller Antilock Brake (CAB) via the Controller Area Network (CAN) data bus. The data required for FSS from the CAN includes the following

1. The four wheel speed sensors from the CAB.
2. Coolant temperature from the PCM.
3. Engine speed from the PCM.
4. Load torque from the PCM.

The tow hooks should be used for EMERGENCY purposes only.
