INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indic ator Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detect ed in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater th an 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you do not
operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash during
acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible. Be
sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. The light also
flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep
snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system to Partial Off mode
by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your instrument cluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four
road tires are significantly under-inflated.
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and 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. The TPMS
light should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire pressure.
• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure once a month in the morning when tires are cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light
will turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure
has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above
15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.
• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on. Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you should
not adjust for this in creased pressure.
41
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces yourvehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life.
If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.
- Engine Temperature Warning Light
• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.
• If the light turns on and a warning chime sounds while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, t urn it off. Also, shiftthe transmission into
NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperat ure reading does not return to normal,
turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangero us. You or others could be badly burned by
steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealership for service if
your vehicle overheats.
- Brake Warning Light
• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the
parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an
Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system
may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident.
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
• Certain conditions, such as a loose or m issing gas cap,poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays
on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive
normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend
you do not operate the vehicle. Hav e the vehicle serviced immediately.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle theignition 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 servi ce is required and you may experience
reduced performance, an el evated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may
require towing.
- Airbag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Transaxle Temperature Warning Light
• This light indicates that ther e is excessive transmission fluid temperat ure that might
occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, you will
experience reduced vehicle performance unti l the automatic transaxle cools down. If
the overheating continues, 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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a“clicking” sound is heard.
• Press the odometer reset button, located belo w the tachometer, to turn the message
off.
• If the message continues to appear for mor e than three days after tightening the gas
cap, see your authorized dealer.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime
sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you c an reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, shift tran smission intoNEUTRAL, but do not increase
engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the
radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.
• If the temperature reading does not re turn to normal, turn the engine off immediately.
• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on
HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, t urn the engine off immediately and call for
service.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the
hood until the radiator has had time to co ol. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE OVERHEATING
• During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on hot days, the automatic transaxle oil may become too hot.
• When the transaxle overheat warning light
turns on, you will experience reduced
performance until the automatic transaxle cools down. Once the transaxle has cooled
down and the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally. If the high speed is
maintained, the overheating will continue to occur.
• If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle with the transaxle in NEUTRAL until the light turns off.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Place the jack underneath the lift area (triangular cutout) that is closest to the flat tire.Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the
sill flange.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire just clears the surface and enough clearance is obtained to install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and cause
an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only
enough to remove the tire.
• Remove the lug nuts, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or wheel
cover on the compact spare. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of
forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been
lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove the jack and wheel blocks.

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.
