> 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.

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. 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)
or your local Dodge dealer.

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 specifica-
tions 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 resources. 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.

• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase therisk of serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal

with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of the

to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever/gear selector.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible
injury or damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

wireless features, try disconnecting your aftermarket devices to see if the situation im-
proves. If your symptoms persist, please see an authorized dealer.
