About the 2009 Chrysler Cruiser
The 2009 Chrysler Cruiser belongs to the PT Cruiser generation, built for model years 2001–2010. Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2009 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2009 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “9”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 17 years old, a 2009 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 2001 Chrysler Cruiser, 2002 Chrysler Cruiser, 2003 Chrysler Cruiser, 2004 Chrysler Cruiser, 2005 Chrysler Cruiser, 2006 Chrysler Cruiser, 2007 Chrysler Cruiser, 2008 Chrysler Cruiser, 2010 Chrysler Cruiser.
