VEHICLE CHANGES / ALTERATIONS
Accessories Purchased By The Owner
Warning!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could
even be fatally injured.
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or
accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact your authorized dealer. Dealer personnel
will check whether the vehicles's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a
more powerful battery.
Note:Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation
of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the
pedals (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US
LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance
with manufacturer's specifications.
Note: Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed.
This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US
LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones
Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB (Citizen Band) radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle
unless a separate antenna is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of
approved mobile phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone Manufacturer.
Caution!
The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive
Entry/Keyless Start system may occur may occur.
The alarm can also be disarmed using the
Passive Entry System, by grasping one of
the Passive Entry front door handles with
a valid key fob in hand to unlock. For

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Warning!
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat
build-up may cause serious injury or death.
For personal security and safety in the
event of a collision, lock the vehicle doors as
you drive as well as when you park and leave
the vehicle.
Before exiting a vehicle, always shift the
automatic transmission into PARK, apply
the parking brake, turn the engine OFF,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock your 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.
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.
Caution!
An unlocked vehicle is an invitation. Always
remove the key from the ignition and lock all
of the doors when leaving the vehicle
unattended.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The
Outside
When locking the doors from the outside
with the doors closed, push the lock
button on the key fob.
The door lock can be activated with all
doors locked and the trunk lid open. When
the lock button on the key fob is pushed,
all locks are activated, including the open
trunk lid. The trunk lid will be locked when
it is closed.
When unlocking the doors from the outside,
push the unlock button on the key fob.
Locking/Unlocking Doors From The
Outside In An Emergency
If
the battery is discharged or the key fob is
inoperable, you can lock or unlock the doors
from the outside by inserting the blade of
the emergency key, found inside the key
fob, into the door handle lock cylinder and
turn the emergency key as follows.
Lock — Turn the emergency key to the
right (clockwise)
Unlock — Turn the emergency key to
the left (counter clockwise)
Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system can identify
the presence of a key fob near the doors
and trunk lid. The system enables the doors and trunk
lid to be locked or unlocked without
pushing any button on the key fob.
The key fob is detected only after the
system recognizes the presence of a
hand on one of the front door handles. If
the detected key fob is valid, the doors
and the trunk lid are unlocked (refer to
the Information and Entertainment
System Owner’s Manual Supplement for
Passive Entry Settings).
Note:
The key fob may not be able to be
detected by the vehicle keyless-go
system if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s
wireless signal and prevent the
keyless-go system from starting the
vehicle.
Grasping the handle of the driver's door
unlocks the driver's side door, or all doors
depending on the mode set using the
Information and Entertainment System
(refer to the Information and
Entertainment System Owner’s Manual
Supplement for Passive Entry Settings).
Note: If wearing gloves, or if it has rained
and the door handle is wet, the activation
sensitivity of the Passive Entry function
may be reduced, resulting in a longer
reaction time.
