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.
Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's control under some
driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a substitute for attentive driving. They
can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and your passengers.
Some of these should not be used when driving because they take your eyes from the road or your
attention from driving. Never text while driving or take your eyes more than momentarily off the
road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either standard
or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a description of features and equipment that
are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and
equipment described in this guide that are not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC
reserves the right to make changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or
improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
The User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the important
features of your vehicle. It contains most everything you will need to operate and maintain the
vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information which can be
viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia DVD also includes videos which
can be played on any standard DVD player (including the Media Center Touch-Screen Radios).
Additional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on 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.
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.INTRODUCTION/WELCOME

WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk ofserious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of the vehicle.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury
or damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
USE OF AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS)
The use of aftermarket devices including cell phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, or chargers may
affect the performance of on-board wireless features including Passive Entry, Keyless Go, and
Remote Start range. If you are experiencing difficulties with any of your wireless features, try
disconnecting your aftermarket devices to see if the situation improves. If your symptoms persist,
please see an authorized dealer.
