4.Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light — If Equipped
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction
Indicator Light” in the instrument
cluster will come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the ON/
RUN position. It should go out with
the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/
Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continu-
ously with the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles,
and the vehicle has been driven several miles
(kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph
(48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon
as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
NOTE:
The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC
Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light”
come on momentarily each time the ignition
switch is turned to ON/RUN. Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN,
the ESC system will be ON, even if it was
turned off previously.
The ESC system will make buzzing or click-
ing sounds when it is active. This is normal;
the sounds will stop when ESC becomes
inactive following the maneuver that caused
the ESC activation.
5.
TOW/HAUL Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the
TOW/HAUL button has been se-
lected. The TOW/HAUL button is lo-
cated in the center of the instrument
panel (below the climate controls).
6. Turn Signal IndicatorThe arrows will flash with the exterior
turn signals when the turn signal lever
is operated. A tone will chime, and an
EVIC message will appear if the turn signals are
left on for more than 1 mile (1.6 km).
NOTE:
Check for an inoperative outside light bulb if
either indicator flashes at a rapid rate. 7. High Beam Indicator
Indicates that headlights are on high
beam.
8. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped This indicator will illuminate when the
front fog lights are on.
9. Hill Descent Control Indicator Light — If
Equipped The symbol indicates the status of
the Hill Decent Control (HDC) fea-
ture. The lamp will be on solid
when HDC is armed. HDC can only
be armed when the transfer case is
in the “4WD Low” position and the vehicle
speed is less then 30 mph (48 km/h). If these
conditions are not met while attempting to use
the HDC feature, the HDC indicator lamp will
flash on/off.
163

12. Park/Headlight ON Indicator — If
EquippedThis indicator will illuminate when
the park lights or headlights are
turned on.
13. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to
ON/RUN, this light will turn on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check. During
the bulb check, if the driver or front
passenger’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will
sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the
driver or front passenger seat belt remains un-
buckled, the Seat Belt Indicator Light will flash or
remain on continuously. Refer to “Occupant Re-
straints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” for further information.
14. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake
functions, including brake fluid
level and parking brake applica-
tion. If the brake light turns on it
may indicate that the parking brake
is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that
there is a problem with the anti-lock brake
system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Pro-
gram (ESP) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been cor-
rected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when
the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during
sharp cornering maneuvers, which change
fluid level conditions. The vehicle should
have service performed, and the brake fluid
level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is
necessary.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.

The system requires that the engine be running
for all changes. When lowering the vehicle all of
the doors, including the liftgate, must be closed.
If a door is opened at any time while the vehicle
is lowering the change will not be completed
until the open door(s) is closed.
The Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system uses
a lifting and lowering pattern which keeps the
headlights from incorrectly shining into oncom-
ing traffic. When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then the front.
When lowering the vehicle, the front will move
down first and then the rear.
After the engine is turned off, it may be noticed
that the air suspension system operates briefly,
this is normal. The system is correcting the
position of the vehicle to ensure a proper ap-
pearance.
To assist with changing a spare tire, the
Quadra-Lift™ air suspension system has a fea-
ture which allows the automatic leveling to be
disabled. Press and hold both the “Up” and
“Down” buttons simultaneously between 5 and
10 seconds, a message will appear in the EVIC
stating leveling has been disabled immediatelyafter both buttons have been released. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information. Driving the vehicle over
5 mph (8 km/h) will return the air suspension to
normal operation. Refer to “Jacking and Tire
Changing” in “What To Do In Emergencies” for
further information.
WARNING!
The air suspension system uses a high pres-
sure volume of air to operate the system. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the sys-
tem, see your authorized dealer for service.
Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) Display Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, a mes-
sage will appear in the EVIC display. Refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)”
in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
An audible chime will be heard whenever a
system error has been detected.
OperationThe indicator lamps 3 through 6 will illuminate to
show the current position of the vehicle. Flash-
ing indicator lamps will show a position which
the system is working to achieve. When raising,
if multiple indicator lamps are flashing on the
“Up” button, the highest flashing indicator lamp
is the position the system is working to achieve.
When lowering, if multiple indicators are flash-
ing on the
"Up"button the lowest solid indicator
lamp is the position the system is working to
achieve.
Pressing the “UP” button once will move the
suspension one position higher from the current
position, assuming all conditions are met (i.e.
engine running, speed below threshold, etc).
The “UP” button can be pressed multiple times,
each press will raise the requested level by one
position up to a maximum position of OR2 or the
highest position allowed based on current con-
ditions (i.e. vehicle speed, etc).

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel’s pro-
tective finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner
or equivalent is recommended.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure – If
Equipped
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the follow-
ing manner:
• Remove as much of the stain as possible by
blotting with a clean, dry towel.
• Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp
towel.
• For tough stains, apply MOPAR® Total
Clean, or a mild soap solution to a clean,
damp cloth and remove stain. Use a fresh,
damp towel to remove soap residue. •
For grease stains, apply MOPAR® Multi-
Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and
remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to
remove soap residue.
•
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other
form of protectants on Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Use MOPAR® Total Clean to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Use MOPAR® Total Clean to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
MOPAR® Total Clean is specifically recom-
mended for leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved by
regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small
particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and
damage the leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn
soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and
MOPAR® Total Clean. Care should be taken to
avoid soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based
cleaners to clean your leather upholstery. Appli- cation of a leather conditioner is not required to
maintain the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, sol-
vents, steel wool or other aggressive material to
clean the lenses.
