Maintaining Your Air Bag System
WARNING!
•
Modifications to any part of the air bag system
could cause it to fail when you need it. You could
be injured if the air bag system is not there to
protect you. Do not modify the components or
wiring, including adding any kind of badges or
stickers to the steering wheel hub trim cover or
the upper right side of the instrument panel. Do
not modify the front bumper, vehicle body struc-
ture, or add aftermarket side steps or running
boards.
• It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the air
bag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who
works on your vehicle that it has an air bag
system.

44 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

Air Bag Warning Light
The light should come on and remain on for four to
eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is first
cycled to ON. If the light is not lit during starting, see
your authorized dealer. If the light stays on, flickers, or
comes on while driving, have the system checked by an
authorized dealer.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and
place the blower control on high speed. You should be
able to feel the air directed against the windshield. See
your authorized dealer for service if your defroster is
inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit the footwell of
your vehicle. Use only floor mats that leave the pedal
area unobstructed and that are firmly secured so that
they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the
pedals or impair safe operation of your vehicle in other
ways.
WARNING!
An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat fasteners
may cause your floor mat to interfere with the
accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and cause a loss
of vehicle control. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:
•ALWAYS securely attach
your floor mat using
the floor mat fasteners. DO NOT install your
floor mat upside down or turn your floor mat
over. Lightly pull to confirm mat is secured
using the floor mat fasteners on a regular basis.
• ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING FLOOR
MAT FROM THE VEHICLE
before installing
any other floor mat. NEVER install or stack an
additional floor mat on top of an existing floor
mat.
• ONLY install floor mats designed to fit your
vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that cannot be
properly attached and secured to your vehicle. If a
floor mat needs to be replaced, only use a FCA
approved floor mat for the specific make, model,
and year of your vehicle.

•ONLY use the driver ’s side floor mat on the
driver ’s side floor area. To check for interference,
with the vehicle properly parked with the engine
off, fully depress the accelerator, the brake, and
the clutch pedal (if present) to check for interfer-
ence. If your floor mat interferes with the opera-
tion of any pedal, or is not secure to the floor,
remove the floor mat from the vehicle and place
the floor mat in your trunk.

to the vehicle carpet. Fully depress each pedal to
check for interference with the accelerator, brake,
or clutch pedals then re-install the floor mats.
• It is recommended to only use mild soap and
water to clean your floor mats. After cleaning,
always check your floor mat has been properly
installed and is secured to your vehicle using the
floor mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

•When using steam washers or high-pressure power
washers, maintain a suitable distance and do not
exceed a maximum temperature of 140 °F (60 °C).
Damage, alterations and water infiltrations may oc-
cur if the distance is too small.
• If a water jet is used, direct away from the edges of
the fabric to prevent water infiltrations.
• Never use alcohol, petroleum products, chemical
products, detergents, stain removers, wax, solvents,
and “wash and polish” products.
• Remove as much dirt from the surface of the top with
a soft brush or vacuum cleaner before washing it.
This operation will considerably improve the final
result. In lack of specific products, use water and
mild soap applied with a sponge preferably in the
shade for washing. Rinse the top with clean water
after having eliminated all the stains.
• Rinse immediately to remove soap to prevent stains.
• Leave the vehicle in the shade after washing avoid-
ing direct sunlight. •
Use specific waterproofing products for fabric tops
and follow the instructions on the product container
for best results.
• The rubber seals of the top must be washed with
water only. Apply talcum power or use specific
rubber care products (silicone spray) if the seals are
dry or partially stuck.
SEATS
Seats are a part of the Occupant Restraint System of the
vehicle.
WARNING!
•It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed.
• Do not allow people to ride in any area of your
vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and
using a seat belt properly.

WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.
Adjusting the steering column while driving or
driving with the steering column unlocked, could
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Failure to follow this warning may result in serious
injury or death.
ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL —
IF EQUIPPED
When engaged, the Electronic Speed Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than 18 mph
(30 km/h) up to the maximum speed of 105 mph
(170 km/h).
The Electronic Speed Control Lever is located on the left
side of the steering column.
NOTE:In order to ensure proper operation, the Elec-
tronic Speed Control system has been designed to shut
down if multiple speed control functions are operated
at the same time. If this occurs, the Electronic Speed
Control system can be reactivated rotating the end of
the multifunction lever (on/off) and resetting the de-
sired vehicle set speed.
To Activate
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever upward to the
first detent, indicated by the speed control icon, to
activate the Electronic Speed Control. The Cruise Indi-
cator Light in the instrument cluster display will illu-
minate. To turn the system off, rotate the end of the
multifunction lever to the “O” position. The Cruise
Indicator Light will turn off. The system should be
turned off when not in use.

The power outlet is located on the central tunnel,
between the two cup holders. It only operates with the
ignition key at MAR/ON.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type of
outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt outlet.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use and while driving
the vehicle.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
•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.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the
battery even more quickly. Only use these inter-
mittently 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.
