GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
There are two maintenance schedules that show
the proper service for Chrysler vehicles. Use the
schedule that best describes the conditions under
which the vehicle is operated. Where time and mile-
age are listed, follow the interval that occurs first.
Schedule—A lists all the scheduled maintenance
to be performed under “normal” operating conditions.
Schedule—B is a schedule for vehicles that are
operated under one or more of the following condi-
tions:
•
Day and night temperatures are below freezing.
•
Stop and go driving.
•
Long periods of engine idling.
•
Driving in dusty conditions.
•
Short trips of less than 5 miles.
•
Operation at sustained high speeds during hot
weather, above 90°F (32°C).
•
Taxi, police or delivery service.
•
Trailer towing or heavy hauling.
EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The scheduled emission maintenance listed in bold
type in the Maintenance Schedules must be done at
the specified mileage 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 the best vehicle
performance and reliability. More frequent mainte-
nance may be needed for vehicles in severe operating
conditions such as dusty areas and very short trip
driving.
