2005 Chrysler Sebring Owner Manual Coupe - Page 311

MAINTENANCE 311 If the light is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required. If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the light may come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time you add fuel. Tighten the cap until you hear it "click." REPLACEMENT PARTS Use of genuine Mopar parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly recommended to insure the designed performance. Damage or failures caused by the use of non-Mopar parts for maintenance and repairs will not be covered by the DaimlerChrysler Motors Corporation warranty. Fuel system (tank, filler tube, connections, and fuel tank filler cap) Check periodically for damage or leakage in the fuel lines and connections, and check for damage and looseness of the fuel tank filler tube cap. Particular attention should be paid to examining those fuel lines nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. WARNING! If you see a fuel leak or if you smell fuel, do not operate the vehicle. Any spark (including from the ignition ), flame or smoking material could cause an explosion or fire. Call an authorized dealer for assistance. Fuel hoses Inspect the surfaces of hoses for evidence of heat and mechanical damage, hard and brittle rubber, cracking, tears, cuts and abrasions. Particular attention should be paid to examining those hose surfaces nearest to high heat sources such as the exhaust manifold. Inspect all hose connections, such as clamps and couplings, to make sure they are secure and that no leaks exist. If there is any evidence of deterioration or damage, hoses should be replaced immediately. 9
