WARNING!
When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged
battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assemblyand the left front wheel splash shield. To allow jump-starting there are remote
battery posts located on the left side of the engine compartment.
WARNING!
• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It canstart anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessaryelectrical acc essories.
• Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+)battery post. To remove
the cover, press the locking tab and pull upward on the cover.
• If using a another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.
WARNING!
WARNING! Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal injury could result.
Jump-Starting Procedure
WARNING!
Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.

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

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE

TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthlyand inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of
tires.
WARNING!
Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect
vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the
recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
WARNING!
Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or
equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Only MOPAR
®Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is
recommended.
