2012 DODGE JOURNEY Messages

If you are the first
registered retail owner of
your vehicle, you may obtain a
complimentary printed copy
of the Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/Media Center
Manuals or Warranty Booklet
by calling 1-800-423-6343 (U.S.)
or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the
vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle
control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. Chrysler
Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme
caution when using any device or feature that may take their
attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices such as cell
phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other
devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous
and could lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is
also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is
moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention
to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and
stop your vehicle. Some States or Provinces prohibit the use of
cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the
driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important
features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s
Manual, Navigation/Media Center Manuals, 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. Replacement DVD kits may be purchased by visiting
www.techauthority.com. Copyright 2012 Chrysler Group LLC.
IMPORTANT
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.
WARNING!
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.
