WARNING!
Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic. Pull
far enough off the road to avoid being hit when operating the jack or changing the
wheel.
• Set the parking brake and shift the aut omatic transmission into P ARK, or a manual
transmission into REVERSE.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher. • Block both the front and rear of the wheeldiagonally opposite of the jacking position.
For example, if changing the right front tire,
block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing p rocedures to help prevent personal injury or
damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of
the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the scissors jack and lug wrench from the spare wheel as an assembly. Turn the jack screw countercloc kwise to loosen the lug wrench, and remove the wrench
from the jack assembly.
NOTE: The jack handle attaches to the side of the jack with two attachment points.
When the jack is partially expanded, the tension between the two attachment points
holds the jack handle in place.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise one
turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the ignition
to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.
• If using 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!
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.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of
the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.
• Connect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable to the positive (+)post of the
discharged vehicle.
• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper cable to the positive (+)post of
the booster battery.
• Connect the negative end (-)of the jumper cable to the negative (-)post of the booster
battery.
• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper cable to a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and the
fuel injection system.
WARNING!
Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-)of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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 ne ar 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 ne ar-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 ma y 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 causes of crashes and associa ted injuries in order to assess and improve
vehicle performance. In addition to crash i nvestigations 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 de signated representative will first obtain permission of
the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle owner or lessee)
before accessing the electronic data stored, unless ordered 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 custodial 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 treated confidentially. Confidential data will not be disclosed by Chrysler
Group LLC to any third party except when:
• Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record in an aggregate database, provided c onfidentiality of personal data is thereafter
preserved.
• Used in defense of litigation involvin g 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 st atus 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.
