Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected with a

high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corro-

sion protection and to protect against engine overheating.

A solution of 50% OAT (Organic Additive Technology)

coolant that meets the requirements of Chrysler Material

Standard MS.90032 and 50% water is recommended.

Refer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintaining Your

Vehicle” for proper coolant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode during winter months

is not recommended because it may cause window

fogging.

Vacation Storage
Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out of service

(i.e., vacation) for two weeks or more, run the air

conditioning system at idle for about five minutes in the

fresh air and high blower setting. This will ensure

adequate system lubrication to minimize the possibility

of compressor damage when the system is started again.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly re-

moved by turning the mode selector to Defrost. The

Defrost/Floor mode can be used to maintain a clear

windshield and provide sufficient heating. If side win-

dow fogging becomes objectionable, increase blower

speed to improve airflow and clearing of the side win-

dows. Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild

but rainy or humid weather.
