WARNING!(Continued)
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
Cigar Lighter — Optional
NOTE: Cigar lighters can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through MOPAR parts. To ensure proper cigar
lighter operation, a MOPAR knob and element must be
used.
The cigar lighter is located on the center console. Push
lighter inward to heat.

After a few seconds, the lighter automatically returns to
its initial position and is ready to be used.
WARNING!
When the cigar lighter is in use it becomes very hot.
To avoid serious injury, handle the cigar lighter with
care. Always check that the cigar lighter has turned
off.
CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180
Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not damage the
socket by using unsuitable adaptors. If the 180 Watt
(15 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protect-
ing the system will need to be replaced.

1. Speedometer•Indicates the speed of the car
2. Fuel Level Gauge •The fuel gauge in the EVIC indicates the amount of
fuel left in the tank.
• The light comes on, together with a chime and the
display of a message in the EVIC, when the gas tank
has 1.5 to 2 gallons (5 to 7 liters) of fuel remaining.
3. EVIC Display •The vehicle can be equipped with multifunctional
EVIC which offers useful information to the driver.
• With the ignition in the STOP/OFF position (and the
key removed, for vehicles with mechanical key),
opening/closing of a door will activate the EVIC for
viewing, and display the total miles or kilometers in
the odometer. 4. Engine Coolant Temperature
•The temperature gauge in the EVIC displays the
temperature of the engine coolant and starts provid-
ing indications when the coolant temperature ex-
ceeds approximately 122° F. In the normal use of the
car, the temperature gauge can move in different
directions based on the use of the car. The light
comes on, together with a chime and the display of a
message in the EVIC, to indicate an excessive in-
crease in the temperature of the engine coolant. Stop
the engine and contact you approved automotive
dealer.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II)
Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard
diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors
the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic
transmission control systems. When these systems are
operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent
performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emis-
sions well within current government regulations.
If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system
will turn on the “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).” It
will also store diagnostic codes and other information to
assist your service technician in making repairs. Al-
though your vehicle will usually be drivable and not
need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as
soon as possible.
CAUTION!
•Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause
further damage to the emission control system. It
could also affect fuel economy and driveability.
The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions
tests can be performed.
• If the MIL is flashing, while the engine is running,
severe catalytic converter damage and power loss
will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
