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. Jeep

trademark of Chrysler Group LLC. © 2013 Chrysler Group LLC.
Driving and Alcohol:
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. 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.
If you are the first registered retail owner of
your vehicle, you may obtain a complimentary
printed copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation/
Uconnect
® Manuals or Warranty Booklet by calling
1-877-426-5337 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada)
or by contacting your dealer.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly
acquainted with your new Jeep and to provide a convenient
reference source for common questions. However, it is not a
substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures
and important safety messages, please consult your Owner’s
Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals and other Warning
Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle.
For additional information on accessories to help personalize
your vehicle, visit www.mopar.com or your local Jeep dealer.
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are
less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired
when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
