DEAR CUSTOMER
Thank you for selecting one of our Chrysler mod-
els. Be assured that it represents precision work-
manship, distinctive styling and high quality, tra-
ditional with Chrysler vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read this
Owner’s Manual and all the Supplements. Be sure
you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particu-
larly those used for braking, steering and trans-
mission shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles
on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will
improve with experience, but as in driving any
vehicle, take it easy as you begin. Always observe
local laws wherever you drive.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control or an accident.
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or
while intoxicated may result in loss of control,
collision with other vehicles or objects, going off
the road, or overturning; any of which may lead to
serious injury or death. Also, failure to use seat
belts subjects the driver and passengers to a
greater risk of injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at it’s best, have your
vehicle serviced at recommended intervals by an
authorized Chrysler Dealer who has the qualified
personnel, special tools and equipment to per-
form all service.
Chrysler and its distributors are vitally interested
in your complete satisfaction with this vehicle. If
you encounter a service or warranty problem
which is not resolved to your satisfaction, discuss
the matter with your dealer’s management.
Your authorized Chrysler Dealer will be happy to
assist you with any questions about your vehicle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
ALL MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS PUBLICA-
TION IS BASED ON THE LATEST INFORMATION
AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICATION AP-
PROVAL. THE RIGHT IS RESERVED TO PUBLISH
REVISIONS AT ANY TIME.
This manual has been prepared with the assis-
tance of service and engineering specialists to
acquaint you with the operation and maintenance
of your new vehicle. It is supplemented by a
Warranty Information Booklet and various cus-
tomer oriented documents. You are urged to read
these publications carefully. Following the instruc-
tions and recommendations in this manual will
help assure safe and enjoyable operation of your
vehicle.
After you have read the manual, it should be
stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and
remain with the vehicle when sold.
Chrysler reserves the right to make changes in
design and specifications, and/or to make addi-

The Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes the
features that are standard or available as extra
cost options. Therefore, some of the equipment
and accessories in this publication may not ap-
pear on your vehicle.
NOTE: Be sure to read the Owner’s Manual first
before driving your vehicle and before attaching
or installing parts/accessories or making other
modifications to the vehicle.
In view of the many replacement parts and acces-
sories from various manufacturers available on
the market, Chrysler cannot be certain that the
driving safety of your Chrysler vehicle will not be
impaired by the attachment or installation of such
parts. Even if such parts are officially approved
(for example, by a general operating permit for the
part or by constructing the part in an officially
approved design), or if an individual operating
permit was issued for the vehicle after the attach-
ment or installation of such parts, it cannot be
implicitly assumed that the driving safety of your
Chrysler vehicle is unimpaired. Therefore, neither
experts nor official agencies are liable. Chrysler
only assumes responsibility therefore when parts
which are expressly authorized or recommended
by Chrysler are attached or installed at an autho-
rized Chrysler dealer. The same applies when
modifications to the original condition are subse-
quently made on Chrysler vehicles.
Your warranties do not cover any part that
Chrysler did not supply. Nor do they cover the
cost of any repairs or adjustments that might be
caused or needed because of the installation or
use of non-Chrysler parts, components, equip-
ment, materials or additives. Nor do your warran-
ties cover the costs of repairing damage or con-
ditions caused by any changes to your car that do
not comply with Chrysler specifications.
Original Mopar parts and accessories and other
products approved by Chrysler, including quali-
fied advice, are available at your authorized
dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your
Chrysler dealer knows your vehicle best, has the
factory-trained technicians and genuine Mopar
parts and is interested in your satisfaction.
