About the 2012 Dodge Nitro
The 2012 Dodge Nitro belongs to the Nitro generation, built for model years 2007–2012. It is the last model year of this generation and includes the running changes made during production, which is why a manual for the exact year matters.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2012 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “C”. 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 14 years old, a 2012 vehicle often needs work on the cooling system, timing components, suspension bushings, motor mounts and corroded electrical connectors, all jobs where the exact factory procedure and torque values save time.
Same generation: 2007 Dodge Nitro, 2008 Dodge Nitro, 2009 Dodge Nitro, 2010 Dodge Nitro, 2011 Dodge Nitro.
All Dodge Nitro model years: 2007 · 2008 · 2009 · 2010 · 2011 · 2012
No 2012 Dodge Nitro was sold in the United States or Canada. See the 2011 Dodge Nitro.
