The driver’s primary responsibility is th\te sa\fe operation o\f the vehicle.
Drivin\b while distracted can result in loss o\f vehicle control, resultin\b
in a collision and perso\tnal injury. Chrysler Group LLC stron\bly
recommends that the driver use extreme caution when us\tin\b any
device or \feature that may take their attention off the road. Use o\f any
electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios,
vehicle navi\bation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
movin\b is dan\berous and could lead to a serious collision. Textin\b while
drivin\b is also dan\t\berous and should never be done while th\te vehicle is
movin\b. I\f you find yoursel\f unable to devote your \full attention to
vehicle operation, pull off the r\toad to a sa\fe location and stop your
vehicle. Some States or Provinces prohibit the use o\f cellular
telephones or textin\b while drivin\b. \tIt is always the driver’s
responsibility to comply with all loca\tl laws.

WARNING!
Drivin\b a\fter drinkin\b can lea\td to a collision. Your perceptions are
less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your jud\bment is imp\taired
when you have been drinkin\b. Ne\tver drink and then d\trive.

WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it
represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials
that are traditional to our vehicles.
Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's
control under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a
substitute for attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive
carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and your
passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they take your
eyes from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving or take your
eyes more than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are
either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a description
of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this
vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment described in this guide that are
not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes
in design and specifications and/or make additions to or improvements to its
products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the
important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to operate
and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information
which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia DVD
also includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player (including the
Uconnect
®Touch-Screen Radios). Additional DVD operational information is located
on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in the owner’s
kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your convenience, the information
contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future reference.
Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural re-
sources. By converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user
information for your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based
products and lessen the stress on our environment.
