subjects.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored la-
bels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information on the symbols used in
your vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher
rollover rate than other types of vehicles. This
vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a
higher center of gravity than many passenger
vehicles. It is capable of performing better in
a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven
in an unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out
of control. Because of the higher center of
gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may
roll over when some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneu-
vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can
cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to oper-
ate this vehicle safely may result in a colli-
sion, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or
fatal injury. Drive carefully.Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts provided is a major cause of severe or
fatal injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than
a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle
up.

DOORS
Keyless Enter-N-Go — Passive Entry
The Passive Entry system is an enhancement
to the vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry system
and a feature of Keyless Enter-N-Go — Pas-
sive Entry. This feature allows you to lock and
unlock the vehicle’s door(s) and fuel door
without having to push the key fob lock or
unlock buttons.
NOTE:
• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/
OFF; refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Mul-
timedia” in the Owner’s Manual for further
information.
• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has
been raining/snowing on the Passive Entry
door handle, the unlock sensitivity can be
affected, resulting in a slower response
time.• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry
and no door is opened within 60 seconds,
the vehicle will re-lock and if equipped will
arm the security alarm.
• The key fob may not be able to be detected
by the vehicle passive entry 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 passive entry handle from
locking/unlocking the vehicle.
• Passive Entry activates illuminated ap-
proach for the time set by the customer (0,
30, 60, or 90 seconds), and flashes the
turn signal lights. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia in the Owner’s
Manual for further information.
To Unlock From The Driver's Side
With a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5ft
(1.5m) of the driver's door handle, grab the
front driver door handle to unlock the driver's
door automatically.NOTE:
If “Unlock All Doors 1st Press” is pro-
grammed, all doors will unlock when you grab
hold of the front driver’s door handle. To
select between “Unlock Driver Door 1st
Push” and “Unlock All Doors 1st Press,”
refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multime-
dia” in the Owner’s Manual for further infor-
mation.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to
the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition must
exercise care when using the seat
heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long
periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat or
seatback that insulates against heat,
such as a blanket or cushion. This may
cause the seat heater to overheat. Sit-
ting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the
increased surface temperature of the
seat.
Rear Heated Seats — If Equipped
On some models, the two outboard rear seats
are equipped with heated seats. The heated
seat switches for these seats are located on
the rear of the center console.There are two heated seat switches that allow
the rear passengers to operate the seats in-
dependently. Amber indicator lights in each
switch indicate the level of heat in use. Two
indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one for
LO and none for OFF.
• Push the heated seat button
once to
turn the HI setting on.
• Push the heated seat button
a second
time to turn the LO setting on.
• Push the heated seat button
a third
time to turn the heating elements off.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be
felt within two to five minutes.
• The engine must be running for the heated
seats to operate.
When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level dur-
ing the first four minutes of operation. Then,
the heat output will drop to the normal HI-
level. If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to LO-level
after approximately 60 minutes of continu-
ous operation. At that time, the number of
