422 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE The “Scheduled” maintenance services, listed in bold type in this section (Section 8) must be done at the times or mileages 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 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. Inspection and service also should be done any time a malfunction is suspected. NOTE: Maintenance, replacement, or repair of the emis- sion control devices and systems on your vehicle may be performed by any automotive repair establishment or individual using any automotive part which has been certified pursuant to U.S. EPA or, in the State of Califor- nia, California Air Resources Board regulations.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES There are two maintenance schedules that show the required service for your vehicle. First is Schedule “B”. It is for vehicles that are operated under the conditions that are listed below and at the beginning of the schedule. • Day or night temperatures are below 32° F (0° C). • Stop and go driving. • Extensive engine idling. • Driving in dusty conditions. • Short trips of less than 10 miles (16 km). • More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high • Trailer towing. • Snowplowing.

If ANY of these apply to you then change your NOTE: engine oil every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or 3 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B” of the ⬙Maintenance Schedules⬙ section of this manual. If ANY of these apply to you then flush and NOTE: replace your engine coolant every 102,000 miles (170 000
km) or 60 months, whichever comes first and follow schedule “B” of the ⬙Maintenance Schedules⬙ section of this manual. NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions listed for Schedule ⬙B⬙.MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES 423
Second is Schedule “A”. It is for vehicles that are not operated under any of the conditions listed under Sched- ule ⬙B⬙. Use the schedule that best describes your driving condi- tions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow the interval that occurs first. NOTE: Under no circumstances should oil change in- tervals exceed 6000 miles (10 000 km) or 6 months whichever comes first.
CAUTION!
Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

SUGGESTIONS FOR OBTAINING SERVICE FOR YOUR VEHICLE
Prepare For The Appointment If you’re having warranty work done, be sure to have the right papers with you. Take your warranty folder. All work to be performed may not be covered by the warranty, discuss additional charges with the service manager. Keep a maintenance log of your vehicle’s service history. This can often provide a clue to the current problem. Prepare A List Make a written list of your vehicle’s problems or the specific work you want done. If you’ve had an accident, or work done that is not on your maintenance log, let the service advisor know.
Be Reasonable With Requests If you list a number of items, and you must have your vehicle by the end of the day, discuss the situation with the service advisor and list the items in order of priority. At many dealers you may obtain a rental vehicle at a minimal daily charge. If you need a rental, it is advisable to make these arrangements when you call for an ap- pointment.
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE The manufacturer and its dealers are vitally interested in your satisfaction. We want you to be happy with our products and services.
Warranty service must be done by an authorized Chrysler, Dodge, or Jeep dealer. We strongly recommend that you take your vehicle to you selling dealer. They know you and your vehicle best, and are most concerned that you get prompt and high quality service. The manufacturer’s dealers have the facilities, factory-trained technicians, special tools, and the latest information to assure your vehicle is fixed correctly and in a timely manner. This is why you should always talk to your dealer’s service manager first. Most matters can be resolved with this process. • If for some reason you are still not satisfied, talk to the general manager or owner of the dealership. They want to know if you need assistance. • If your dealership is unable to resolve the concern, you
may contact the Manufacturer’s Customer Center.
