Auto Park Brake
The EPB can be programmed to be applied automatically
whenever the vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h)
and the automatic transmission is placed in PARK, or
with a manual transmission, whenever the ignition
switch is in the STOP/OFF position. Auto Park Brake is
enabled and disabled by customer selection through the
Customer Programmable Features section of the
Uconnect Settings.
Any single Auto Park Brake application can be bypassed
by pushing the EPB switch to the release position while
the transmission is placed in PARK (automatic transmis-
sion) and the ignition is in the MAR/RUN position.
SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the EPB system that will
engage the park brake automatically if the vehicle is left
unsecured while the ignition switch is in MAR/RUN.For automatic transmissions, the EPB will automatically
engage if all of the following conditions are met:
•Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
•There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal.
•The seat belt is unbuckled.
•The driver door is open.
•The vehicle is not in the PARK position.
For manual transmissions, the EPB will automatically
engage if all of the following conditions are met:
•Vehicle speed is below 1.9 mph (3 km/h).
•There is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal.
•The clutch pedal is not pressed.

•The seat belt is unbuckled.
•The driver door is open.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing the
EPB Switch while the driver door is open and the brake
pedal is pressed. Once manually bypassed, SafeHold will
be enabled again once the vehicle reaches 12 mph
(20 km/h) or the ignition is turned to the STOP/OFF
position and back to MAR/RUN again.
Brake Service Mode
We recommend having your brakes serviced by your
authorized dealer. You should only make repairs for
which you have the knowledge and the right equipment.
You should only enter Brake Service Mode during brake
service.
When servicing your rear brakes, it may be necessary for
you or your technician to push the rear piston into the
rear caliper bore. With the electric park brake system, thiscan only be done after retracting the EPB actuator. The
actuator retraction can be done easily by entering the
Brake Service Mode through the Uconnect Settings in
your vehicle. This menu based system will guide you
through the steps necessary to retract the EPB actuator in
order to perform rear brake service.
Service Mode has requirements that must be met in order
to be activated:
•The vehicle must be at a standstill.
•The parking brake must be disabled.
•The transmission must be in park or neutral.
•The EPB switch not activated.
•The vehicle in ignition MAR/ON position.
•The brake pedal not pressed.
While in service mode, the EPB fault lamp will flash
continuously while the ignition switch is MAR/ON.7

•The active braking is enabled only if the front seat belts
are fastened.
•The active braking is disabled when a trailer is con-
nected with a Mopar Trailer Towing system. If the
vehicle is equipped with an aftermarket system, it is
recommended that the Active Braking is turned off
manually.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to
avoid a collision on its own, nor can FCW detect
every type of potential collision. The driver has the
responsibility to avoid a collision by controlling the
vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow
this warning could lead to serious injury or death.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision menu setting is located in the
Uconnect settings.
NOTE:The default status of FCW is “Warning + Active
Braking,” this allows the system to warn you of a
possible collision with the vehicle in front of you and
enable the active braking.
•Changing the FCW status to “Off” deactivates the
system, so no warning or active braking will be
available in case of a possible collision
•Changing the FCW status to “Only warning” prevents
the system from providing limited active braking, or
additional brake support if the driver is not braking
adequately in the event of a potential frontal collision,
but maintains the audible and visual warnings.
Changing the status of the system is only possible with
the vehicle at a complete stop.

(#) The engine air cleaner should be inspected at every oil
change if used in dusty areas.
(*) The oil and oil filter replacement must be carried out
when indicated by a warning light or message on the
instrument panel, or in any case should not exceed 1 year
or 10,000 miles (16,000 km).(**) The spark plug change is distance based only, yearly
intervals do not apply. The following are essential to
ensure correct operation and prevent serious damage to
the engine:
•Only use spark plugs of the same make and type
which are specially certified for such engines (refer to
“Engine Information” in “Technical Data” for further
information).

cleaning of the condenser fins and a performance test.
Drive belt tension should also be checked at this time.
WARNING!
•Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants
approved by the manufacturer for your air condi-
tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are
flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other
unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the
system to fail, requiring costly repairs. Refer to
Warranty Information Book, located on the DVD,
for further warranty information.
•The air conditioning system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid risk of personal
injury or damage to the system, adding refrigerant
or any repair requiring lines to be disconnected
should be done by an experienced technician.
CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your air conditioning
system as the chemicals can damage your air condi-
tioning components. Such damage is not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling HFO 1234yf
HFO 1234yf Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydro-
fluoolefine HFO that is endorsed by the Environmental
Protection Agency and is an ozone-saving product. The
manufacturer recommends that air conditioning service
be performed by authorized dealer using recovery and
recycling equipment.
NOTE:Use only manufacturer approved A/C system
PAG compressor oil, and refrigerants.
A/C Air Filter

Instrument Panel Bezels
CAUTION!
When installing hanging air fresheners in your ve-
hicle, read the installation instructions carefully.
Some air fresheners will damage the finish of
painted or decorated parts if allowed to directly
contact any surface.
Cleaning Plastic Instrument Cluster Lenses
The lenses in front of the instruments in this vehicle are
molded in clear plastic. When cleaning the lenses, care
must be taken to avoid scratching the plastic.
1. Clean with a wet soft cloth. A mild soap solution may
be used, but do not use high alcohol content or
abrasive cleaners. If soap is used, wipe clean with a
clean damp cloth.2. Dry with a soft cloth.
Seat Belt Maintenance
Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical
solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric.
Sun damage can also weaken the fabric.
If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or
lukewarm water. Do not remove the belts from the
vehicle to wash them. Dry with a soft cloth.
Replace the belts if they appear frayed or worn or if the
buckles do not work properly.
WARNING!
A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and
leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system
periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
