VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA
With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed
to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution (excluding legal
lines).
WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk 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 causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause inter-
ference with the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of
control of the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear
selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
• 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.

To Decrease Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you can decrease speed by pushing the
SET (-) button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual
on the DVD for more information. The speed decrement shown is dependant on the
chosen speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 mph decrease in set speed. Eachsubsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 mph.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
• Pushing the SET (-) button once will result in a 1 km/h decrease in set speed. Each subsequent tap of the button results in a decrease of 1 km/h.
• If the button is continually pushed, the set speed will continue to decrease until the button is released, then the new set speed will be established.
To Accelerate For Passing
Press the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle
will return to the set speed.
Using Electronic Speed Control On Hills
The transmission may downshift on hills to maintain the vehicle set speed.
NOTE:
The Electronic Speed Control system maintains speed up and down hills. A slight
speed change on moderate hills is normal.
On steep hills, a greater speed loss or gain may occur so it may be preferable to drive
without Electronic Speed Control.
WARNING!
Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system cannot maintain a
constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for the conditions, and you could
lose control and have an accident. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy
traffic or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.

EVIC Main Menu
To step to each main menu feature, push the MENU button once for each step. A step
from the last item in the list will cause the first item in the feature list to be displayed.
The following features are in the Main Menu:
• Compass, Outside Temperature, and ECO display
• Digital Speedometer
• Average Fuel Economy
• Distance to Empty
• Elapsed Time
• Vehicle Information• Coolant Temp
• Oil Pressure
• Transmission Temp
• Oil Life Remaining (Automatic Oil Change Indicator)

Compass Calibration
This compass is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need to set the compass
manually. When the vehicle is new, the compass may appear erratic, and the EVIC
will display “CAL” until the compass is calibrated.
You may also calibrate the compass by completing one or more 360 degree turns (in
an area free from large metal or metallic objects) until the “CAL” message displayed
in the EVIC turns off. The compass will now function normally.
ECO
The ECO message will appear in your EVIC display whenever you are driving in a fuel
efficient manner.
This feature allows you to monitor when you are driving in a fuel efficient manner, and
it can be used to modify driving habits in order to increase fuel economy.

COMMAND-TRAC/ROCK-TRAC
The transfer case provides four mode
positions: 2H (Two-wheel drive high
range), 4H (Four-wheel drive high range),
N (Neutral), and 4L (Four-wheel drive low
range).
The transfer case is intended to be driven
in the 2H position for normal street and
highway conditions such as hard-
surfaced roads.
Shifting Between 2H And 4H
Shifting between 2H and 4H can be
made with the vehicle stopped or in mo-
tion. Shift the transfer case lever firmly to
4H at any speed up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Automatic Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Shift the automatic transmission into NEUTRAL then shift the transfer
case lever firmly to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the
shift is completed, place the automatic transmission into DRIVE.
Shifting Between 4H And 4L (Manual Transmission)
Shifting between 4H and 4L should be made with the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph
(3 to 5 km/h). Fully depress the clutch pedal and shift the transfer case lever firmly
to 4L (do not pause with the transfer case in NEUTRAL). Once the shift is completed,
release the clutch pedal.
NOTE:
To enhance off-road performance in 4L mode, manual transmission vehicles will start
regardless of whether or not the clutch pedal is depressed.
