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.
IMPORTANT: This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the
important features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s
Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and
Roadside 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.
