NOTE:If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine
related gauges are not working, the Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. The air bags may
not be ready to inflate for your protection. Promptly
check the fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to the label
located on the inside of the fuse block cover for the
proper air bag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the
fuse is good.
Event Data Recorder (EDR)
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder
(EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in
certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will
assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems per-
formed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts
were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of
the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur.

A second power outlet is located inside the center console
and is powered directly from the vehicle battery.
CAUTION!
•Do not exceed the maximum power of 160 Watts
(13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160 Watt (13 Amp)
power rating is exceeded the fuse protecting the
system will need to be replaced.
• Power outlets are designed for accessory plugs
only. Do not insert any other object in the power
outlets as this will damage the outlet and blow the
fuse. Improper use of the power outlet can cause
damage not covered by your New Vehicle Limited
Warranty. On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer, there is a
third power outlet located in the right rear cargo area.

Vehicle Odometer Messages
When the appropriate conditions exist, the following
odometer messages will display:
ECO..................... Fuel Saver Indicator
door ............................. Door Ajar
gATE ........................ Swing Gate Ajar
LoW tirE ....................LowTirePr essure
HOTOIL ...........T ransmission Oil Temperature
Above Normal Limits
gASCAP ...................... Fuel Cap Fault
noFUSE .......................... Fuse Fault
CHAngE OIL ..............Oil Change RequiredECO (Fuel Saver Indicator) — If Equipped
The ECO indicator will illuminate when you are driving
in a fuel efficient manner and can be used to modify
driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.
LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the odometer display
will toggle between LoW and tirE for three cycles.
“HOTOIL” Transmission Temperature Warning Message
The “HOTOIL” cluster message will appear in the odometer
accompanied with a chime to indicate that there is excessive
transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe
usage such as trailer towing. It may also occur when
operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condi-
tion, such as 4-wheel drive operation (e.g., snow plowing,
off-road operation). If this “HOTOIL” message turns on,
stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster with the
transmission in NEUTRAL until the message turns off.

CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Tempera-
ture “HOTOIL” Warning message illuminated will
eventually cause severe transmission damage or
transmission failure.
WARNING!
If the Transmission Temperature “HOTOIL” Warn-
ing message is illuminated and you continue operat-
ing the vehicle, in some circumstances you could
cause the fluid to boil over, come in contact with hot
engine or exhaust components and cause a fire.gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the fuel
filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged, a
“gASCAP” message will display in the odometer display
area. Tighten the fuel filler cap properly and press the
TRIP ODOMETER button to turn off the message. If the
problem continues, the message will appear the next time
the vehicle is started.
noFUSE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the
Ignition Off Draw (IOD) fuse is improperly installed, or
damaged, a “noFUSE” message will display in the odom-
eter display area. For further information on fuses and
fuse locations refer to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your
Vehicle”.

To maintain ease of use of the window zippers, each
window zipper should be cleaned and lubricated
regularly. Use MOPAR® Soft Top Zipper Cleaner and
Lubricant or equivalent to ease zipper operation.
Before applying, make sure the zipper teeth are clear
of sand, mud, and other materials. Clean both sides of
the zipper, not just one side. Rinse both zipper halves
with fresh water and allow to dry. Aggressively work
the MOPAR® Soft Top Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant
or equivalent into the zipper teeth. If a stuck zipper
slide is experienced, work the MOPAR® Soft Top
Zipper Cleaner and Lubricant or equivalent into the
zipper slide. Several applications may be required
before the zipper comes free.
6. Never paste stickers, gummed labels or any tape to the windows. Adhesives are hard to remove and may
damage the windows.FUSES
Totally Integrated Power Module
The Totally Integrated Power Module is located in the
