16 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

DOOR LOCKS
WARNING!
•Do not touch the exhaust pipe sill covers when
entering or exiting your vehicle. They can be hot
enough to burn you. Observe the warning labels on
each door closure panel.
• Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the transmis-
sion into NEUTRAL, apply the parking brake, turn
the engine OFF, remove the key fob from the ignition
and lock your vehicle. If equipped with Keyless

node is in “OFF” mode, remove the key fob from the
vehicle and lock the vehicle.
• When leaving the vehicle, always cycle the ignition
to the OFF mode lock, and lock your vehicle. Unsu-
pervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe
personal injuries and death.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving
unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be in-
jured seriously or fatally. Don’t leave the ignition in
the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate
power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Power Door Locks
A power door lock switch is on each door trim panel. Use
this switch to lock or unlock the doors.
WARNING!
• For personal security and safety in the event of a
collision, lock the vehicle doors before you drive as
well as when you park and leave 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 gear
selector.

a location accessible to children. A child could oper-
ate power windows, other controls, or move the

20 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

WINDOWS
Power Windows
The window controls on the driver’s door control both of
the door windows.
There are single window controls on the passenger door
trim panel, which operate the passenger door window. The
window controls will operate only when the ignition is in
the ACC or ON/RUN position.
The power window switches will remain active for up to 10
minutes after the ignition is cycled to the OFF position.
Opening either front door will cancel this feature. The timeis programmable. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not
leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location
accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the
ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unat-
tended children, can become entrapped by the win-
dows while operating the power window switches.
Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
Auto-Down Feature
Both power window switches have an Auto-Down feature.
Push the window switch to the second detent, release, and
the window will go down automatically.
To open the window part way, push the window switch to
the first detent and release it when you want the window
to stop.
To stop the window from going all the way down during
the Auto-Down operation, pull up on the switch briefly.

CYBERSECURITY
Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may be
equipped with both wired and wireless networks. These
networks allow your vehicle to send and receive informa-
tion. This information allows systems and features in your
vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security fea-
tures to reduce the risk of unauthorized and unlawful
access to vehicle systems and wireless communications.
Vehicle software technology continues to evolve over time
and FCA US LLC, working with its suppliers, evaluates
and takes appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a com-
puter or other devices, your vehicle may require software
updates to improve the usability and performance of your
systems or to reduce the potential risk of unauthorized and
unlawful access to your vehicle systems.

STARTING PROCEDURES
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust the
inside and outside mirrors, fasten your seat belt, and if
present, instruct any other occupant to buckle their seat belt.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unat-
tended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do
not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A
child could operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•Long periods of engine idling, especially at higher
than normal engine idle speeds, can cause excessive
exhaust temperatures, which can damage your ve-
hicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the
engine running.
• Running an engine with a low oil level can cause
severe damage. Check the engine oil level at every
fuel fill-up.
Normal Starting
CAUTION!
The engine in your vehicle is designed for operation
down to 0°F (-18°C). Starting the engine below 0°F
(-18°C) coolant temperature creates a potential for
scuffing or seizing of internal components in this high
performance engine. To prevent engine damage, do not
start the engine at temperatures below 0°F (-18°C).
