KEYS
Key Fob
Your vehicle uses a key start ignition system.
The ignition system consists of a key fob with
a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) and an igni-
tion switch.
The key fob contains an integrated mechani-
cal key. To use the mechanical key, simply
push the mechanical key release button.
The vehicle is supplied with a code card
containing key code numbers to order dupli-
cate keys, and the authorized dealer that sold
you your new vehicle has the key code num-
bers for your vehicle locks. These numbers
can be used to order duplicate keys.Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
This system allows you to lock or unlock the
doors from distances up to approximately
66 ft (20 m) using a hand-held key fob. The
key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system. NOTE:
The key fob may not be able to be detected by
the vehicle if it is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wire-
less signal.
To Unlock The Doors
Push and release the unlock button on key
fob once to unlock only the front doors. Push
and release the cargo unlock button on key
fob once to unlock the cargo area (rear lateral
sliding doors and rear door). The turn signal
lights will flash to acknowledge the unlock
signal.
To Lock The Doors
Push and release the lock button on the key
fob to lock all doors. The turn signal lights
will flash to acknowledge the signal; the horn
will chirp too during turn signal lights flash-
ing.
If a door is open, the turn signal lights will
flash at an increased rate, and there will be
no horn chirp. This is to indicate that a door is
still open.

IconDescription
Temperature Control
Use this control to regulate the temperature of the air inside the passenger compartment. Rotating the knob counter-
clockwise, from top center into the blue area of the scale, indicates cooler temperatures. Rotating the knob clockwise,
into the red area, indicates warmer temperatures.
Blower Control
There are seven blower speeds. Use this control to regulate the amount of air forced through the system in any mode
you select. The blower speed increases as you move the control clockwise from the OFF position.
NOTE:
Depending on the configuration, your vehicle may be equipped with four blower speeds.
Modes Control
Turn the knob to change the airflow distribution mode. The airflow distribution mode can be adjusted so air comes from
the instrument panel outlets, floor outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets. The Mode settings are as follows:
Panel Mode
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the instrument panel. Each of these outlets can be individually adjusted to direct the flow
of air. The air vanes of the center outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and down or side to side to regulate
airflow direction. There is a shut off wheel located below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow from
these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
NOTE:
BI-LEVEL mode is designed under comfort conditions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets and warmer air from
the floor outlets.

NOTE:
Recirculate without A/C should not be used
for long periods, as fogging may occur.
Outside Air Intake
Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air
intake may reduce airflow, and if they enter
the plenum, they could plug the water drains.
In winter months, make sure the air intake is
clear of ice, slush, and snow.
A/C Air Filter
The climate control system filters outside air
containing dust, pollen and some odors. Strong
odors cannot be totally filtered out.

“Dealer Service” in “Servicing and Maintenance”
in your Owner’s Manual on
www.mopar.com/

(U.S. Resi-
dents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
Red Warning Lights
— Air Bag Warning Light
This light will turn on for four to eight sec-
onds as a bulb check when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN po-
sition. 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
detected, it will stay on until the fault is
cleared. If the light comes on intermittently
or remains on while driving, have an autho-
rized dealer service the vehicle immediately.
— 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 hy-
draulic system malfunction or that a problem
with the Brake Booster has been detected by
the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Elec-
tronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this
case, the light will remain on until the condi-
tion 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 indi-
cated by the Brake Warning Light, which will
turn on when the brake fluid level in the
master cylinder has dropped below a speci-
fied 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.
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.
