CONTROLS AT A GLANCE

WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectileinside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.
• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVERbe used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.
• The two rear seating positions have lower anchorages that are capable of accommodating LATCH-compatible child seats having flexible, webbing mounted
lower attachments or fixed lower attachments.
• The rear seat lower anchorages are roundbars, located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. They
are just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback and
seat cushion surfaces.
• The top tether strap anchorages are located in the trunk behind the rear seatback. The access ports to the top tether anchorages are directly behind the seat
headrests under a plastic cover.
• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.
• If lowered, raise the convertible top.
NOTE: The convertible top must be in the UP position to access the tether anchor.
• Open the access port cover behind the seat where you are placing the child restraint.

- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging systemlight remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stopthe vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, werecommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed
in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service immediately. If the light is flashing
when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Transmission Temperature Warning Light
• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature thatmight occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the
vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light
turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds ofspecific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to
the moment of airbag deployment, or near deployment (if applicable), and up to a
quarter second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during
and/or after airbag deployment or near-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if
an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.
NOTE:
• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag
deployment.
• Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery power).
• In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation, the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more
about the possible cau ses of crashesand associated injuries i n order toassessand
improve vehicle performance. In addition to crash investigations initiated by
Chrysler Group LLC, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance
carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those
associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.
• In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regardless of initiative), the company or its designated representative will first obtain
permission of the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle
owner or lessee) before accessing the electronic data stor ed, unlessordered to
image the data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy
of the data will be provided to the cust odial entity upon request.General data that
does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation
in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the U.S. government
and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a
particular driver, vehicle, or crash, will be tr eated confidentially. Confidential data
will not be disclosed by Chrysler Group LLC to any third party except when:
• Used for resear ch purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record
in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter
preserved.
• Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler Group LLC product.
• Requested by police under a legal warrant.
• Otherwise required by law.
Data parameters that are recorded:
• Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-controlled safety systems, including the airbag system.
• Vehicle speed, Engine RPM, Brake switch status, Pedal position, and other parameters depending on vehicle configuration.
