tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.

WARNING!(Continued)
•The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center
of gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid
loss of control resulting in personal injury,
follow these guidelines for loading your
vehicle:
•Always place cargo evenly on the cargo
floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.
•Place as much cargo as possible in front of
the rear axle. Too much weight or improp-
erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the rear of the vehicle to
sway.
•Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than
the top of the seatback. This could impair
visibility or become a dangerous projectile
in a sudden stop or collision.
(Continued)
WARNING!(Continued)
•To help protect against personal injury,
passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.
Fold Down Speakers — If EquippedWhen the liftgate is open, the speakers can
swing down off the trim panel to face rearward,
for tailgating and other activities.

Rotate the center portion of the
lever past the first detent to acti-
vate the rear washer. The washer
pump and the wiper will continue to
operate as long as the switch is
held (for a maximum of 10 seconds). Upon
release, the wiper will continue to cycle two
times before returning to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return
to the “park” position if power accessory delay is
active. Power accessory delay can be cancelled
by opening the door, if this happens the rear
wiper will stop at its current position and will not
go to “park”.

The rear window defroster button is
located on the climate controls mode
control knob. Push the button to turn
on the rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indica-
tor in the button will illuminate when the rear
window defroster is on. The rear window de-
froster automatically turns off after approxi-mately 10 minutes. For an additional five min-
utes of operation, push the button a second
time.
NOTE:
To prevent excessive battery drain, use the
rear window defroster only when the engine
is operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
•Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
•Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF
EQUIPPED
The crossbars and siderails are designed to
carry the cargo on vehicles equipped with a
luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed
over the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
If not equipped with crossbars, your autho-
rized dealer can order and install MOPAR
crossbars built specifically for this roof rack
system.
Distribute cargo weight evenly on the luggage
rack crossbars. The luggage rack does not
increase the total load carrying capacity of the
vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside
the vehicle plus that on the external rack does
not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
The crossbars must also be secured in one of
the seven detent positions marked with an
arrow on the siderails to prevent movement. To
move the crossbars, loosen the thumb screws
located at the upper edge of each crossbar
approximately eight turns, then move the cross-
