PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate flipper
glass, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and
the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
The system also includes a dual function intru-
sion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion.
The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for
any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery backup
which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 30 seconds and
the exterior lights will flash followed by approxi-
mately five seconds of no activity. This will
continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to
disarm the system.

3. Remove and replace the battery. When re-
placing the battery, match the + sign on the
battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery
clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching
the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may
cause battery deterioration. If you touch a bat-
tery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.
4. To assemble the RKE transmitter case, snap
the two halves together.
General InformationThe RKE transmitter and receivers operate on a
carrier frequency of 433.92 MHz as required by
EEC regulations. These devices must be certifiedto conform to specific regulations in each indi-
vidual country. Two sets of regulations are in-
volved: ETS (European Telecommunication Stan-
dard) 300–220, which most countries use, and
German BZT federal regulation 225Z125, which is
based on ETC 300–220 but has additional unique
requirements. Other defined requirements are
noted in ANNEX VI of COMMISSION DIRECTIVE
95/56/EC. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference.
•
This device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
If your RKE transmitter fails to operate from a
normal distance, check for these two condi-
tions:
1. Weak battery in RKE transmitter. The ex-
pected life of the battery is a minimum of
three years.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a
radio station tower, airport transmitter, and
some mobile or CB radios.
DOOR LOCKS
The power door locks can be manually locked
from inside the vehicle by using the door lock
knob. To lock each door, push the door lock
knob on each door trim panel downward. To
unlock the front doors, pull the inside door
handle to the first detent. To unlock the rear
doors, pull the door lock knob on the door trim
panel upward. If the lock knob is down when the
door is closed, the door will lock. Therefore,
make sure the key is not inside the vehicle
before closing the door.

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs,
below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap
portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To
loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch
plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt
reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a
collision.
WARNING!
•A lap belt worn too high can increase the
risk of injury in a collision. The belt forces
won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic
bones, but across your abdomen. Always
wear the lap part of your seat belt as low as
possible and keep it snug.
• A twisted belt may not protect you properly.
In a collision, it could even cut into you. Be
sure the belt is straight. If you can’t
straighten a belt in your vehicle, take it to
your authorized dealer immediately and
have it fixed. 5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so
that it is comfortable and not resting on your
neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in
the belt.
6. To release the belt, push the red button on
the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to
its stowed position. If necessary, slide the latch
plate down the webbing to allow it to retract fully.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a
collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, check-
ing for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged
parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt
assemblies must be replaced after a collision
if they have been damaged (bent retractor,
torn webbing, etc.).
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting
Procedure
Use the following procedure to untwist a twisted
lap/shoulder belt.
1. Position the latch plate as close as possible
to the anchor point.
2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the
latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing
180 degrees to create a fold that begins imme-
diately above the latch plate.Removing Slack From Belt

3. Slide the latch plate upward over the folded
webbing. The folded webbing must enter the
slot at the top of the latch plate.
4. Continue to slide the latch plate up until it
clears the folded webbing.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt
Anchorage
In the front seating positions, the shoulder belt
can be adjusted upward or downward to posi-
tion the belt away from your neck. Press the
release button to release the anchorage, and
then move it up or down to the position that
serves you best.As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you
will prefer a lower position, and if you are taller
than average, you will prefer a higher position.
When you release the button, verify the shoul-
der belt anchorage is latched by pulling down-
ward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is
locked into position.
NOTE:The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage
is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This
feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to
be adjusted in the upward position without
pressing the release button. To verify the
shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull down-
ward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is
locked into position.
In the rear seat, move toward the center of the
seat to position the belt away from your neck.
Seat Belts In Passenger Seating
Positions
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractors
(ALR) which are used to secure a child restraint
system. For additional information, refer to “In-
stalling Child Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section. The
chart below defines the type of feature for each
seating position.
Driver Center Passen-
ger
First Row N/A N/A N/A Second Row ALR ALR ALR
• N/A — Not Applicable
• ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is equipped
with an ALR and is being used for normal
usage:
Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the occupant’s mid-
section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a ratcheting sound as the
belt retracts. Allow the webbing to retract com-
pletely in this case and then carefully pull out only
the amount of webbing necessary to comfortably
wrap around the occupant’s mid-section. Slide the
latch plate into the buckle until you hear a "click."

Resetting Active Head Restraints (AHR)
If the Active Head Restraints are triggered in a
collision, you must reset the head restraint on
the driver’s and front passenger seat. You can
recognize when the Active Head Restraint has
been triggered by the fact that they have moved
forward (as shown in step three of the resetting
procedure).
1. Grasp the deployed AHR from the rear seat.2. Position the hands on the top of the de-
ployed AHR at a comfortable position.
3. Pull

Restraints checked by a qualified special-
ist at an authorized dealer.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder
System (BeltAlert®)
BeltAlert® is a feature intended to remind the
driver and front passenger (if equipped with
front passenger BeltAlert®) to fasten their seat
belts. The feature is active whenever the igni-
tion is on. If the driver or front seat passenger is
unbelted, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will turn
on and remain on until both front seat belts are
fastened.
The BeltAlert® warning sequence begins after
the vehicle speed is over 5 mph (8 km/h), by
blinking the Seat Belt Reminder Light and
sounding an intermittent chime. Once the se-
quence starts, it will continue for the entire
duration or until the respective seatbelts are
fastened. After the sequence completes, the
Seat Belt Reminder Light remains illuminated
until the respective seat belts are fastened. The
driver should instruct all other occupants to
fasten their seat belts. If a front seat belt is
unbuckled while traveling at speeds greater
than 5 mph (8 km/h), BeltAlert® will provide
both audio and visual notification. The front passenger seat BeltAlert® is not ac-
tive when the front passenger seat is unoccu-
pied. BeltAlert® may be triggered when an
animal or heavy object is on the front passenger
seat or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped).
It is recommended that pets be restrained in the
rear seat in pet harnesses or pet carriers that
are secured by seat belts, and cargo is properly
stowed.
BeltAlert® can be enabled or disabled by your
authorized dealer. Chrysler Group LLC does not
recommend deactivating BeltAlert®.
NOTE:
Although BeltAlert® has been deactivated,
the Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to
illuminate while the driver’s or front passen-
ger (if equipped with BeltAlert®) seat belt
remains unfastened.
Seat Belt Lock OutThe center rear seat belt system has a lock out
feature that will not allow you to extract the
center webbing unless the rear seat upper latch
is engaged.

Older Children And Child Restraints
Children who are two years old or who have
outgrown their rear-facing convertible child seat
can ride forward-facing in the vehicle. Forward-
facing child seats and convertible child seats
used in the forward-facing direction are for
children who are over two years old or who have
outgrown the rear-facing weight or height limit
of their rear-facing convertible child seat. Chil-
dren should remain in a forward-facing child
seat with a harness for as long as possible, up
to the highest weight or height allowed by the
child seat. These child seats are also held in the
vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt or the ISOFIX
child restraint anchorage system. Refer to “ISO-
FIX — Child Seat Anchorage System”.
All children whose weight or height is above the
forward-facing limit for the child seat should use
a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle’s
seat belts fit properly. If the child cannot sit with
knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion
while the child’s back is against the seatback,
they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.
The child and belt-positioning booster seat are
held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.Children Too Large For Booster Seats
Children who are large enough to wear the
shoulder belt comfortably, and whose legs are
long enough to bend over the front of the seat
when their back is against the seatback, should
use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
•
Make sure that the child is upright in the seat.
• The lap portion should be low on the hips and
as snug as possible.
•
Check belt fit periodically. A child’s squirming or
slouching can move the belt out of position.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck,
move the child closer to the center of the
vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoul-
der belt under an arm or behind the back.
ISOFIX — Child Seat Anchorage System
Your vehicle’s rear seat is equipped with the
child restraint anchorage system called ISOFIX.
The ISOFIX system provides for the installation
of the child restraint without using the vehicle’s
seat belts, instead securing the child restraint
using lower anchorages and upper tether straps
from the child restraint to the vehicle structure. ISOFIX-compatible child restraint systems are
now available. Child restraints having tether
straps and hooks for connection to the top
tether anchorages have been available for
some time. You are urged to take advantage of
all the available attachments provided with your
child restraint in any vehicle.
NOTE:
When using the ISOFIX attaching system to
install a child restraint, please ensure that
all seat belts not being used for occupant
restraints are stowed and out of reach of
children. Remind all children in the vehicle
that the seat belts are not toys and should
not be played with, and never leave your
child unattended in the vehicle.
The two outboard rear seating positions have
anchorages, child seats with fixed lower attach-
ments must be installed in the outboard positions
only. Regardless of the specific type of lower
attachment, never install ISOFIX-compatible child
seats such that two seats share a common lower
anchorage.

MIRRORS
Inside Day/Night MirrorA single ball joint mirror is provided in the
vehicle. It is a twist on mirror that has a fixed
position at the windshield. The mirror installs on
the windshield button with a counterclockwise
rotation and requires no tools for mounting. The
mirror head can be adjusted up, down, left, and
right for various drivers. The mirror should be
adjusted to center on the view through the rear
window.
Headlight glare from vehicles behind you can
be reduced by moving the small control under
the mirror to the night position (toward the rear
of the vehicle). The mirror should be adjusted
while the small control under the mirror is set in
the day position (toward the windshield).
Automatic Dimming Mirror — If
Equipped
This mirror automatically adjusts for headlight
glare from vehicles behind you. You can turn the
feature on or off by pressing the button at the
base of the mirror. A light in the button will
illuminate to indicate when the dimming feature
is activated. The mirror is twisted on the wind-
shield button counterclockwise and requires no
tools for mounting.NOTE:
This feature is disabled when the vehicle is
moving in reverse.
CAUTION!
To avoid damage to the mirror during clean-
ing, never spray any cleaning solution di-
rectly onto the mirror. Apply the solution onto
a clean cloth and wipe the mirror clean.
