The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collisi\
on and personal injury.
Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme cauti\
on 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 navigat\
ion 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 th\
e
vehicle is moving. i f you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle
operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. S\
ome States or
p
rovinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while drivin\
g. i t 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/Uconnect
™ Manuals, Warranty
Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or

ormat. We hope you

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.
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.
