TABLE OF CONTENTS

WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it
represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that
are traditional to our vehicles.
IMPORTANT: This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features of
your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual, Warranty Booklets, Tire
Warranty, and 24-Hour Towing Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside
Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada) in electronic format. We hope you find it
useful. Retail customers may obtain a printed copy of any of these booklets; call
1-800-890-4038 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or ask your dealer.
For complete owner information, refer to the DVD in the owner’s kit provided at the time of
new vehicle purchase. For your convenience, the information contained on the DVD may
also be printed and saved for future reference.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle.
Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By
converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for your
vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and lessen the
stress on our environment.
This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for both on-road and off-road use. It can go
places and perform tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive enclosed vehicles were
not intended. It handles and maneuvers differently from many passenger cars both on-road
and off-road, so take time to become familiar with your vehicle.
Vehicles Sold In Canada
With respect to any Vehicles Sold in Canada, the name Chrysler Group LLC shall be deemed
to be deleted and the name Chrysler Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.
Driving And Alcohol
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal
minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a
cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.

UTILITY

RECREATIONAL TOWING
(BEHIND MOTORHOME)
Towing - Two-Wheel Drive
Models
• Recreational towing with all fourwheels on the ground is allowed ONLY
if the rear driveshaft is removed. See
your authorized dealer or refer to the
Service Manual. Towing with the rear
wheels on the ground while the
driveshaft is connected can result in
severe transmission damage.
WARNING!
If the driveshaft is removed, the
vehicle can roll even if the
transmission is in PARK, which could
cause serious injury or death.
• The parking brake must be firmly engaged and the wheels chocked
during driveshaft removal and
installation. The parking brake must
remain engaged unless the vehicle is
securely and properly connected to the
tow vehicle, or the driveshaft is
completely reinstalled. See your
authorized dealer for proper driveshaft
removal and reinstallation procedures,
including flange orientation/alignment,
use of thread-locking compound,
proper bolt torque specifications, etc.
Towing - Four-Wheel Drive
Models
• Turn off engine and depress brakepedal.
• Shift automatic transmission into NEUTRAL or depress clutch pedal on
manual transmission.
• Shift transfer case to N (Neutral).
• Start the engine, shift into drive or 1st gear and ensure there is no vehicle
movement. • Shut off the engine, place ignition into
ACC position and shift automatic
transmission into PARK, manual
transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Apply the parking brake, attach vehicle to tow vehicle and release the parking
brake.
• Disconnect negative battery cable.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
BRAKE/TRANSMISSION
INTERLOCK MANUAL
OVERRIDE
• Your vehicle may be equipped with ashift lock manual override.
• The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail
to move from PARK with the Key Fob in
the ON position and the brake pedal
pressed.
• To operate the shift lock manual override, perform the following steps:
• Turn the Key Fob to the ON position but do not start the engine.
• Firmly set the parking brake.
• Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, carefully remove the shift lock
manual override cover which is
located on the PRNDL bezel.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
• Using a screwdriver, reach into the manual override opening. Press and
hold the shift lock lever down.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position and start the
vehicle.
• Reinstall the override cover.
• Have your vehicle inspected by your local authorized dealer if the shift lock
manual override has been used.

24 HOUR TOWING ASSISTANCE - U.S. ONLY
• Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number and license plate number.
• Provide your location, including telephone number, from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If youfeel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent, we will
contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, amalfunction has been detected 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 than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you drive to the nearest service center as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The “ESC 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 instrumentcluster 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 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 increased pressure.
• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- 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 stopthe vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL
and idle the vehicle. If the temperature 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 dangerous. 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 theparking 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 missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., mayilluminate 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. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible if this
occurs.
