SUBJECT:
Jump Starting, Hoisting, And Towing
MODELS:
1995 (JA) Cirrus/Stratus
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this bulletin is to provide a condensed version of the jump starting, hoisting, and towing information unique to the 1995 Cirrus/Stratus vehicles. The expanded version is available on pages 0-7 thru 0-9 of the 1995 Cirrus/Stratus Service Manual (Publication No. 81-270-5121).
The battery is located in front of the left front wheel well. Clearly marked jumper cable connections are provided in the engine compartment.
HOISTING AND JACKING POINTS
The recommended structural areas for lifting the 1995 Cirrus/Stratus are illustrated in the drawing above. Failure to observe these lifting points may result in damage to the underbody and/or suspension components of the vehicle.
TOWING
To avoid damage to bumper fascia and air dams, use of a flat bed towing device or wheel lift is recommended. When using a wheel lift towing device, be sure the unlifted end and lifted wheels have at least 100 mm (4 in.) ground clearance. If a flat bed towing device is used, the approach angle should not exceed 15 degrees. Vehicles can be tied to a flat bed towing device using the reinforced loops located under the front and rear bumpers on the drivers side of the vehicle. There are also four reinforced elongated holes for T or R hooks located on the bottom of the front frame rail torque boxes behind the front wheels and forward of the rear wheels inboard of the rocker panel weld seam.
