Flex-fuel model may be also referred to as an E85 application and may be identified by label attached to inside of gasoline filler door. (3) Quantity includes heater and coolant recovery tank. Add 2 qts. (1.9L) if equipped with rear heater. (4) Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transaxle through all gears and back to Park. Add additional fluid to bring fluid level to 1/8" below the ADD mark on dipstick. Recheck fluid level with transaxle at normal operating temperature. Adjust fluid level so fluid level is within the HOT range dipstick. (5) An overrunning clutch is bolted on front of rear differential, between torque tube for drive shaft and rear differential. Overrunning clutch contains a separate reservoir from rear differential. Ensure fluids are checked at appropriate component, as different types of fluids are used. Fluid capacity is not available from manufacturer. (6) Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic transmission fluid. (7) Capacity is not available from manufacturer. Fill unit until fluid level is even with bottom of filler plug hole. |
