Your computer display must be set to a resolution of at least 800x600 to view this CD-ROM. For optimal viewing, set your resolution to 800 x 600 and make sure your color setting is set to millions.
Macintosh users should have Virtual Memory turned off. Also, users who have Macintosh OS 9 and/or old versions of Flash may need to install an extension called CarbonLib. CarbonLib is a Macintosh Extension that allows software to be run on both OS X and the 9.x operating system. Macromedia Flash MX requires CarbonLib 1.5 or higher to run on Mac OS 9.x (the CarbonLib functionality is built into OS X so nothing additional is required for that OS). This extension is being provided for you on this CD-ROM. If you are prompted by a CarbonLib error when you attempt to launch the CD-ROM, simply go to the folder on the disc titled CarbonLib and double click the file to install it. You will then need to restart your computer.
In regard to CD-ROM performance, you may want to close any open applications other than a web browser. This will provide you with better performance from the CD-ROM. Keeping a web browser open, as well as an internet connection, will enable you to seamlessly access additional online content.
Follow these steps to view the content on the CD-ROM.
1. Place the CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. The CD will auto-launch.
2. If the CD-ROM does not auto-launch:
PC users should right-click on their CD-ROM drive icon and then click on auto-play.
Mac users should double-click on the CD icon on their desktop and then double-click on the Crossfire icon in the open window.
Note to Mac OS X user: Unfortunately, Mac OS X does not support auto-launch functionality at this time. You will have to double-click on the CD and then double-click on the Crossfire icon.
If you have an old computer with a slow CD-ROM drive (2X or 4X), or a computer with little RAM, and are noticing a sluggish performance, you should consider dragging the contents of the CD-ROM to your hard drive so that you can view them locally. All you need to do is create a folder on your desktop and drag all of the files and folders found on the CD-ROM into this folder. Once they are copied, simply click on the Crossfire icon.
An internet connection needs to be established prior to accessing additional Chrysler information online. Please be sure to establish an internet connection and launch a web browser before starting the CD-ROM so that you can utilize the numerous connections to Chrysler.com. DaimlerChrysler values your privacy. Our privacy policy can be found on the CD-ROM within the "copyright link" and is valid to the date of this disc's publishing. An additional copy of the privacy policy can be found at the end of this README file.

Accessing Information
There are many interactive components found in the CD-ROM. Many areas can be clicked on or dragged for added functionality. Pay attention to the pop-up help tabs that can be found throughout the experience. If you see the word DRAG, that means you can click and drag on that area to view the content. For instance, many of the areas that feature copy require you to click and drag in order to scroll the copy. Other areas require you to drag a box to reveal additional images. If you see the words MOVE MOUSE TO EXPLORE, this means all you need to do is move your mouse over the designated area to explore the interactive components.
Videos
Please be patient with all of the videos found throughout the experience. Given that they are being accessed from the CD-ROM, and that they are large in file size, it may take a moment for them to load. Once they are loaded you can drag the progress bar beneath the video to fast-forward or rewind. Clicking on the video itself will pause the clip.
Quit
The easiest way to Quit the experience is to simply hit the Quit button in the top right corner.
