ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlet located in the Integrated Center Stack
(ICS) for added convenience. This power outlet
can power mobile phones, electronics and other
low power devices.
Power is available when the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position. Insert the cigar lighter
or accessory plug into the outlet for use.To
preserve the heating element, do not hold
the lighter in the heating position.NOTE:
To ensure proper operation a MOPAR knob
and element must be used.
CAUTION!
•Do not exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded
the fuse protecting the system will need to
be replaced.
•Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type
of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
•Do not touch with wet hands.
•Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.

LoW tirE
When the appropriate condition exists, the
odometer display will toggle between LoW and
tirE for three cycles.
gASCAP
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that
the fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed,
or damaged, a “gASCAP” message will display
in the odometer display area. Tighten the fuel
filler cap properly and push the STEP button on

change indicator system. The odometer display
will toggle betweenCHAngEandOilfor ap-
proximately 12 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 depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.

WARNING AND INDICATOR
LIGHTS
IMPORTANT:The warning / indicator lights
switch on in the instrument panel together with
a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal
when applicable. These indications are indica-
tive and precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read carefully
in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different
based upon equipment options and current
vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and
may not appear.

Red Telltale Indicator Lights
Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
Red Telltale Light What It Means
Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light
When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN, this light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the
bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver’s
seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will flash or remain on continuously and a chime will sound.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” for further information.
Air Bag Warning Light
Red Telltale Light What It Means
Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition is palaced in the ON/RUN position. If the
light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized dealer
as soon as possible. This light will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the Air Bag Warning Light has been de-
tected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light comes on intermittently or remains on while driving, have an au-
thorized dealer service the vehicle immediately.
123

Brake Warning Light
Red Telltale Light What It Means
Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns
on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the
anti-lock brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master
cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has
been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run
when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A
leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake
fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.
NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle
should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.
124

WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may
have failed. It will take longer to stop the
vehicle. You could have a collision. Have the
vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with ElectronicBrake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of
an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn
on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair
to the ABS system is required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two sec-
onds. The light should then turn off unless the
parking brake is applied or a brake fault isdetected. If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
This light shows only that the parking brake
is applied. It does not show the degree of
brake application.
Vehicle Security Warning Light — If Equipped
Red Telltale Light What It Means
