Check TPMS Warnings
The Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will flash on
and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system
fault is detected, an audible chime will be activated and the
“Tire Pressure Monitoring Unavailable” text message will
display. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will
repeat providing the system fault still exists. The Tire
Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn off when the
fault condition no longer exists. A system fault can occur
with any of the following scenarios:
1. Jamming due to electronic devices or driving next tofacilities emitting the same radio frequencies as the TPM
sensors.
2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tinting that affects radio wave signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a regular size spare
wheel. 1. The spare tire has a tire pressure monitoring sensor, but
it is not monitored until it is mounted in place of any of
the existing four road tires.
2. If you install the spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit, upon
the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound and the
Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will turn ON due
to the low tire condition. Then, after driving the vehicle
for up to 20 minutes above 15mph (24km/h), the system
will recognize the new sensor, and turn off the telltale.
3. If a spare tire not equipped with tire pressure monitor- ing sensor is used, then the Tire Pressure Monitoring
Telltale Light will turn ON, flashing for 75 seconds and
then remaining solid for each subsequent ignition key
cycle.
NOTE: For correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off during each tire
substitution.
General Information
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and
RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference.
222 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!(Continued)
•An out-of-tune engine or certain fuel or ignition
malfunctions can cause the catalytic converter to
overheat. If you notice a pungent burning odor or
some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or
malfunctioning and may require immediate service.
Contact your authorized dealer for service assistance.
• The use of fuel additives, which are now being sold
as octane enhancers, is not recommended. Most of
these products contain high concentrations of metha-
nol. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems resulting from the use of such fuels or
additives is not the responsibility of the manufac-
turer and may void or not be covered under the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: Intentional tampering with the emissions control
system can result in civil penalties being assessed against
you.
Carbon Monoxide Warnings
WARNING!
Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly.
Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon mon-
oxide poisoning:
• Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon
monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas, which can
kill. Never run the engine in a closed area, such as a
garage, and never sit in a parked vehicle with the
engine running for an extended period. If the vehicle
is stopped in an open area with the engine running
for more than a short period, adjust the ventilation
system to force fresh, outside air into the vehicle.
• Guard against carbon monoxide with proper main-
tenance. Have the exhaust system inspected every
time the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal condi-
tions repaired promptly. Until repaired, drive with
all side windows fully open.
226 STARTING AND OPERATING

CAUTION!
Be sure to mount the spare tire with the valve stem
facing outward. The vehicle could be damaged if the
spare tire is mounted incorrectly.
NOTE: Do not install the wheel cover on the spare tire.
7. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left.
8. Refer to “Torque Specifications” in this section for proper wheel lug bolt torque.
9. Lower the jack to its fully-closed position.
10. Stow the damaged wheel/spare tire with the cable and wheel spacer before driving the vehicle.
11. Install the winch extension and rotate the wrench
handle clockwise until the winch mechanism indica-
tion window turns yellow and the operator hears “3
clicks” from the device to show the wheel is properly
stowed under the vehicle.
Winch Mechanism Properly Engaged (Yellow DOT Will
Appear In The Winch Indication Window)

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES 263

CAUTION!
In the case that the yellow dot does not appear in the
winch mechanism window refer to step 11 above, the
operator should repeat the spare tire installation pro-
cedure. If the yellow dot does not appear in the winch
indication window, place and secure the damaged
wheel into the vehicle and seek dealer assistance to the
winch mechanism.12. Stow the jack, jack handle and winch handle tools back
in the storage compartment.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or
hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided. Have the deflated (flat) tire repaired
or replaced immediately.
13. Check the spare tire pressure as soon as possible. Correct the tire pressure, as required.
For vehicles with aluminum wheels:
1. Remove the adapter bracket and bolts from the storage bag in the glove compartment.

Will Appear)
264 WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning purposes.
Many are potentially flammable, and if used in closed
areas they may cause respiratory harm.
CAUTION!
Direct contact of air fresheners, insect repellents, sun-
tan lotions, or hand sanitizers to the plastic, painted, or
decorated surfaces of the interior may cause permanent
damage. Wipe away immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage caused by these type of products may not be
covered by your New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
CAUTION!
Do not use Alcohol and Alcohol-based and/or Keton
based cleaning products to clean leather seats, as
damage to the seat may result.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and fog
lights that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore
different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and
reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To
remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution followed
by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel
wool or other aggressive material to clean the lenses.
Glass Surfaces
All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with
MOPAR Glass Cleaner, or any commercial household-type
glass cleaner. Never use an abrasive type cleaner. Use
caution when cleaning the inside rear window equipped
with electric defrosters or windows equipped with radio
antennas. Do not use scrapers or other sharp instrument
that may scratch the elements.
