BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake sys-
tems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal
capability, the remaining system will still function. There
will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This may
be evident by increased pedal travel during application,
greater pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential
activation of the Brake Warning Light.
In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for
example, repeated brake applications with the engine
OFF), the brakes will still function. The effort required to
brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required
with the power system operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly cali-
brated torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex)
deep wall socket.

**Use only your authorized dealer recommended lug nuts/
bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.

ComponentFluid, Lubricant, Or Genuine Part
Automatic Transmission — 8-Speed
Transmission Use only Mopar ZF 8&9 Speed ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid, or
equivalent. Failure to use the correct fluid may affect the function or
performance of your transmission.
Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use Mopar DOT 3 and SAE J1703. If DOT 3 brake fluid is not available, then DOT 4 is acceptable.
Front Axle – AWD (If Equipped) We recommend you use Mopar Synthetic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W90 (API GL-5).
Rear Axle – 3.6/5.7 Engine We recommend you use Mopar OD Synthetic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W85 (API GL-5).
Rear Axle – 6.4L Engine We recommend you use Mopar LSD Synthetic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W85 (API GL-5).
Transfer Case – AWD (If Equipped) We recommend you use Mopar Transfer Case Lubricant for BorgWarner 44–40.

Setting NameSelectable Options
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) — Active Braking — If Equipped On
Off
NOTE:
The FCW system includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). When this feature is selected, the ABA applies additional
brake pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA
system becomes active at 5 mph (8 km/h). To make your selection, press the “Forward Collision Warning Active
Braking” button on the touchscreen, until a check-mark appears next to setting, indicating that the setting had been
selected. LaneSense Warning — If Equipped EarlyMedium Late
NOTE:
When the “LanseSense Warning” feature is selected, it sets the distance at which the steering wheel provides feedback
for potential lane departures. The LDW sensitivity can be set to provide either an “Early,” “Medium,” or “Late”
warning zone start point. LaneSense Strength — If Equipped LowMedium High
NOTE:
When the “LaneSense Strength” feature is selected, it sets the strength of the steering wheel feedback for potential
lane departures.

Setting NameSelectable Options
NOTE:
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) feature provides an audible and/or visual warning to potential forward collisions.
The feature can be set to Far, or set to Near. The default status of FCW is the Far setting. This means the system warns
you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away. This gives you the most reaction
time. To change the setting for more dynamic driving, select the Near setting. This warns you of a possible collision when
you are much closer to the vehicle in front of you.
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) — Active Braking — If Equipped On Off
NOTE:
The FCW system includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). When this feature is selected, the ABA applies additional
brake pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA
system becomes active at 5 mph (8 km/h). To make your selection, press the “Forward Collision Warning Active
Braking” button on the touchscreen, until a check-mark appears next to setting, indicating that the setting had been
selected. LaneSense Warning — If Equipped EarlyMedium Late
NOTE:
When the “LanseSense Warning” feature is selected, it sets the distance at which the steering wheel provides feedback
for potential lane departures. The LDW sensitivity can be set to provide either an “Early,” “Medium,” or “Late”

•Reaction Time
Measures the driver’s reaction time for launching the
vehicle against a simulated drag strip timing light (behav-
ior modeled after 500 Sportsman Tree) displayed in the
instrument cluster display.
NOTE: The Reaction Time, MPH, ⅛and ¼ Mile timers will
be “ready” when the vehicle is at 0 MPH (0 km/h).
• 0-60 MPH (0-100 km/h)
Displays the time it takes for the vehicle to go from 0 to
60 mph (0 to 100 km/h).

• ⅛ Mile (200 meter) ET
Displays the time it takes for the vehicle to go an ⅛mile
(200 meters).
• ⅛ Mile (200 meter) MPH
Displays the vehicle speed at the time ⅛mile (200 meters)
was reached. •
¼ Mile (400 meter) ET
Displays the time it takes for the vehicle to go ¼ mile
(400 meters).
• ¼ Mile (400 meter) MPH
Displays the speed the vehicle was at when ¼ mile
(400 meters) was reached.
• Brake Distance ft
Displays the distance it takes the vehicle to make a full
stop.
NOTE: The distance measurement will be aborted if the
brake pedal is released or the parking brake is engaged,
before the vehicle comes to a complete stop.
• Brake from MPH
Displays the speed the vehicle is traveling when the brake
pedal is pressed.
NOTE: Brake Distance and Speed timers only displays
ready when vehicle is traveling at greater than 30 MPH
(48 km/h).
