> IMPORTANT
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury.
Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any
device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices such as
cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while
the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is
also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable
to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some States or Provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you
may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Owner’s
Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals or Warranty Booklet
by calling 1-800-423-6343 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada)
or by contacting your dealer.
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle.
The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect® Manuals, Warranty
Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or
Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada) in electronic format. We hope you
find it useful. Replacement DVD kits may be purchased by visiting www.techauthority.com.

This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Dodge and to
provide a convenient reference source for common questions. However, it is not a substitute for
your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and important safety messages,
please consult your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
® Manuals and other Warning Labels in
your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on
accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada)

WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are
slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be
seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t
drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.
