INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US LLC ve-
hicle. Be assured that it represents precision workmanship,
distinctive styling, and high quality.
The two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed
for on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving
or use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel
drive vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher
ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many
passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe
manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the

System Maintenance
In Winter, the Climate Control system must be turned on at
least once a month for approximately 10 minutes.
Have the system inspected at an authorized dealer before
the summer.
NOTE:The system uses R-1234yf (refrigerant) which does
not pollute the environment in the event of accidental
leakage. Under no circumstances is the use of R-134a
(refrigerant) allowed.Automatic Climate Control Overview
Automatic Climate Control Descriptions
Icon Description
MAX A/C Setting
MAX A/C sets the system for maximum cooling performance. Rotate the driver temperature
control adjust knob counterclockwise for MAX A/C. Both driver and passenger temperature dis-
plays will show MAX A/C LO. In MAX A/C, the blower speed and mode position can be ad-
justed to desired user settings. Pressing other settings will cause the MAX A/C operation to
switch to the selected setting and MAX A/C to exit.

• Recirculation
• Max Defrost
• Blower Increase
• AUTO
To restart the Climate Control system in fully automatic

Equipped
Automatic Operation
1. Push the AUTO button on the front ATC panel and the word “AUTO” will illuminate in the front ATC display,
along with two temperatures for the driver and front
passenger. The system will then automatically regulate
the amount of airflow.
2. Adjust the temperature you would like the system to maintain, by adjusting the driver, and passenger tem-
peratures. Once the desired temperature is displayed,
the system will achieve and automatically maintain that
comfort level.
3. When the system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary to change the settings. You will experience
the greatest efficiency by simply allowing the system to
function automatically.

Oil Change Reset
Oil Change Due
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indi-
cator system. The “Oil Change Due” message will display
in the instrument cluster display for five seconds after a
single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is
duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change
interval may fluctuate, dependent upon your personal
driving style.
Unless reset, this message will continue to display each
time you turn the ignition is cycled to the ON or RUN
position. To reset the oil change indicator system (after
performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINESTART/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/
RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the
OFF/LOCK position. NOTE:
If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. See your authorized dealer to have the oil life reset.

Security
By selecting the item “Security,” you can make the follow-
ing adjustments:
•Speed Warning:
Set the vehicle speed limit (km/h or MPH), which the
driver is notified through a visual and acoustic signaling
(display of a message and a symbol on the display).
When the speed warning is set, the icon should remain
visualized for the same duration time of the pop up. If the
driver exceeded the speed set the icon should remain for
however long the vehicle is over the set speed.
Driver may also turn the Speed Warning “OFF” should you
choose not to use this feature.
• Seat Belt Reminder:
This function is only viewable when the Seat Belt Re-
minder (SBR) system is active.

CAUTION!
Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as
handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle,
avoiding sharp braking and steering. Repair immedi-
ately using the dedicated tire repair kit and contact
your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure
recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires
of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard
or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or
more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accord-
ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat andcan lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel
efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver ’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not
reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction
indicator to indicate when the system is not operating prop-
erly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunc-
tion, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunc-
tion telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your
vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
