In addition, the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale
Light will turn OFF and the graphic in the EVIC
will display a new pressure value instead of
dashes (- -), as long as no tire pressure is below
the low-pressure warning limit in any of the four
active road tires. The vehicle may need to be
driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph
(24 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this
information.
TPMS DeactivationThe TPMS can be deactivated if replacing all
four wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
wheel and tire assemblies that do not have
TPMS Sensors, such as when installing winter
wheel and tire assemblies on your vehicle To
deactivate the TPMS, first, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) Sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for
20 minutes above 24 km/h (15 mph). The TPMS
will chime, the"TPM Telltale Light" will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and then remain on and the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display the “SERVICE TPM SYS-
TEM” message and then display dashes (--) in
place of the pressure values. Beginning with the
next ignition switch cycle, the TPMS will no
longer chime or display the “SERVICE TPM
SYSTEM” message in the EVIC but dashes (--)
will remain in place of the pressure values.
To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four wheel
and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
equipped with TPM sensors. Then, drive the
vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 24 km/h
(15 mph). The TPMS will chime, the
"TPM
Telltale Light" will flash on and off for 75 sec-
onds and then turn off, and the Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will display
the “SERVICE TPM SYSTEM” message. The
EVIC will also display pressure values in place
of the dashes. On the next ignition switch cycle
the "SERVICE TPM SYSTEM" message will no
longer be displayed as long as no system fault
exists.
General InformationTransmitter and receivers operate on a carrier
frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by EEC
regulations. These devices must be certified to
conform to specific regulations in each indi-
vidual country. Two sets of regulations are in-
volved: ETS (European Telecommunication
Standard) 300–220, which most countries use,
and German BZT federal regulation 225Z125,
which is based on ETC 300–220 but has addi-
tional unique requirements. Other defined re-
quirements are noted in ANNEX VI of COMMIS-
SION DIRECTIVE 95/56/EC. Operation is
subject to the following conditions:
•
This device may not cause harmful interfer-
ence.
• This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
272
CAUTION!
•Damage to the fuel system or emission
control system could result from using an
improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting
cap could let impurities into the fuel sys-
tem. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap
can cause the “Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors
escaping from the system.
• A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the MIL
to turn on.
• To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
•Never have any smoking materials lit in or
near the vehicle when the gas cap is
removed or the tank is being filled.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•Never add fuel when the engine is running.
This is in violation of most state and fed-
eral fire regulations and may cause the
malfunction indicator light to turn on.
•
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a
portable container that is inside of a vehicle.
You could be burned. Always place gas
containers on the ground while filling.
NOTE:
• When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off,
the fuel tank is full.
•
Tighten the gas cap about one-quarter turn
until you hear one click. This is an indica-
tion that the cap is properly tightened.
•If the gas cap is not tighten properly, the MIL
will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tight-
ened every time the vehicle is refueled.
Emergency Fuel Filler Door Release
If you are unable to open the fuel filler door, use
the fuel filler door emergency release.
1. Open the liftgate.
2. Push down on the inboard edge of the left
storage bin, this will pop up the outboard edge.
3. Grab popped up outboard edge with other
hand to disengage snaps.
4. Remove the storage bin.
5. Pull the release cable.

5. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on
the rear tie-down bracket, just forward of the
rear tire (as indicated by the triangular lift point
symbol on the sill molding).Do not raise the
vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully
engaged.
6. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw
clockwise. Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the spare tire. Minimum tire
lift provides maximum stability.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip
off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise
the vehicle only enough to remove the tire.7. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
8. Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle
and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the nuts.
CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve
stem facing outward. The vehicle could be dam-
aged if the spare tire is mounted incorrectly.

WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal injury.
9. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw
counterclockwise, and remove the jack and
wheel blocks.
10. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down
on the wrench while at the end of the handle for
increased leverage. Tighten the lug nuts in a
star pattern until each nut has been tightened
twice. The correct wheel nut tightness is
110 ft-lbs (150 N·m). If in doubt about the
correct tightness, have them checked with a
torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a
service station.
11. Lower the jack to the fully closed position
and return it and the tools to the proper posi-
tions in the foam tray. 12. Remove the small center cap and securely
store the road wheel in the cargo area.
13. Have the aluminum road wheel and tire
repaired as soon as possible, properly secure
the spare tire with the special wing nut torqued
to 3.7 ft-lbs (5 N·m), reinstall the jack and tool kit
foam tray, and latch the rear load floor cover.WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire re-
paired or replaced immediately.
Road Tire Installation
1. Mount the road tire on the axle.
2. Install the remaining lug nuts with the cone
shaped end of the nut toward the wheel. Lightly
tighten the lug nuts.
WARNING!
To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the
jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the
vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow
this warning may result in personal injury.
Stowed Spare

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.
