WELCOME FROM FCA US LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) vehicle. Be assured
that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all
essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.
Your new FCA US 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. FCA US 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 manufac-
tured.
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 Touchscreen Radios if equipped with DVD player capabilities). 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.
FCA US 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.

Reclining Rear Seat
For additional comfort, pull the strap forward just enough to release the seatback
latch. Then push the seatback to a reclined position, approximately 35 degrees
maximum, and release the strap.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt and be
seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
HEATED SEATS
Heated Seats
On some models, the front driver and passenger seats may be equipped with heaters
in both the seat cushions and seatbacks. The controls for the front heated seats are
located on the center instrument panel area.
You can choose from HI, LO or OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one
for LO and none for OFF.
Push the switch once to select HI-level
heating. Push the switch a second time to
select LO-level heating. Push the switch
a third time to shut the heating elements
OFF.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level
during the initial stages of operation.
Then, the heat output will drop to the
normal HI-level. If the HI-level setting is
selected, the system will automatically
switch to LO-level after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation. At that
time, the display will change from HI to
LO, indicating the change. When the LO-
level heating is selected, the system au-
tomatically turns the heater and the indicator light OFF after approximately 30
minutes of continuous operation.
NOTE:
Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check
for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved,
it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHERS
CAUTION!
• Turn the windshield wipers off when driving through an automatic car wash.Damage to the windshield wipers may result if the wiper control is left in any
position other than off.
• In cold weather, always turn off the wiper switch and allow the wipers to return
to the “Park” position before turning off the engine. If the wiper switch is left
on and the wipers freeze to the windshield, damage to the wiper motor may
occur when the vehicle is restarted.
• Always remove any buildup of snow that prevents the windshield wiper blades
from returning to the off position. If the windshield wiper control is turned off
and the blades cannot return to the off position, damage to the wiper motor
may occur.
