Power Inverter — If Equipped
There is a 230 Volt, 150 Watt inverter outlet
located on the back of the center console to
convert DC current to AC current. This outlet
can power cellular phones, electronics and
other low power devices requiring power up to
150 Watts. Certain high-end game consoles
exceed this power limit, as will most power
tools.
To turn on the power inverter outlet, simply
plug in the device. The outlet automatically
turns off when the device is unplugged.The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
automatically shuts down. Once the electri-
cal device has been removed from the outlet
the inverter should automatically reset. To
avoid overloading the circuit, check the
power ratings on electrical devices prior to
using the inverter.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may
cause an electric shock and failure.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF
EQUIPPED
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and it should be uniformly distrib-
uted over the cargo area.
Crossbars should always be used whenever
cargo is placed on the roof rack. Check the
straps frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.
NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at your autho-
rized dealer through Mopar parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that
the total occupant and luggage load inside
the vehicle, plus the load on the luggage
rack, do not exceed the maximum vehicle
load capacity.

WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured
loads can fly off the vehicle, particularly at
high speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
CAUTION!
• To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
roof rack load capacity. Always distrib-
CAUTION!
ute heavy loads as evenly as possible
and secure the load appropriately.
• Long loads, which extend over the wind-
shield, such as wood panels or surf-
boards, should be secured to both the
front and rear of the vehicle.
• Place a blanket or other protection be-
tween the surface of the roof and the
load.
• Travel at reduced speeds and turn cor-
ners carefully when carrying large or
heavy loads on the roof rack. Wind
forces, due to natural causes or nearby
CAUTION!
truck traffic, can add sudden upward
loads. This is especially true on large flat
loads and may result in damage to the
cargo or your vehicle.
• Load should always be secured to cross
bars first, with tie down loops used as
additional securing points if needed. Tie
loops are intended as supplementary tie
down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check
the straps frequently to be sure that the
load remains securely attached.

WARNING!
dows where the SABIC and its deploy-
ment path are located should remain
free from any obstructions.
• In order for the SABICs to work as in-
tended, do not install any accessory
items in your vehicle which could alter
the roof. Do not add an aftermarket
sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof
racks that require permanent attach-
ments (bolts or screws) for installation
on the vehicle roof. Do not drill into the
roof of the vehicle for any reason.
Side Impacts
The Side Air Bags are designed to activate in
certain side impacts. The Occupant Restraint
Controller (ORC) determines whether the de-
ployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular
impact event is appropriate, based on the
severity and type of collision. The side impact
sensors aid the ORC in determining the ap-
propriate response to impact events. The sys-
tem is calibrated to deploy the Side Air Bags
on the impact side of the vehicle during
impacts that require Side Air Bag occupantprotection. In side impacts, the Side Air Bags
deploy independently; a left side impact de-
ploys the left Side Air Bags only and a right-
side impact deploys the right Side Air Bags
only. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good
indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.
The Side Air Bags will not deploy in all side
collisions, including some collisions at cer-
tain angles, or some side collisions that do
not impact the area of the passenger com-
partment. The Side Air Bags may deploy
during angled or offset frontal collisions
where the front air bags deploy.
Side Air Bags are a supplement to the seat
belt restraint system. Side Air Bags deploy in
less time than it takes to blink your eyes.
WARNING!
• Occupants, including children, who are
up against or very close to Side Air Bags
can be seriously injured or killed. Occu-
pants, including children, should never
lean on or sleep against the door, side
windows, or area where the side air bags
WARNING!
inflate, even if they are in an infant or
child restraint.
• Seat belts (and child restraints where
appropriate) are necessary for your pro-
tection in all collisions. They also help
keep you in position, away from an in-
flating Side Air Bag. To get the best
protection from the Side Air Bags, occu-
pants must wear their seat belts properly
and sit upright with their backs against
the seats. Children must be properly
restrained in a child restraint or booster
seat that is appropriate for the size of the
child.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do
not lean against the door or window. Sit
upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Side Air Bags
during deployment could cause you to
be severely injured or killed.
• Relying on the Side Air Bags alone could
lead to more severe injuries in a colli-

Chassis
Component Fluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
Automatic Transmission – If Equipped We recommended you use TUTELA TRANSMISSION AS8 Fluid, or equivalent, meeting
requirement of FCA Material Standard 9.55550-AV5 or MS.90030-A5.
Failure to use the correct fluid may affect the function or performance of your transmission.
Manual Transmission – If Equipped We recommended you use TUTELA TRANSMISSION GEARFORCE Fluid, or equivalent,
meeting requirement of FCA Material Standard 9.55550-MZ6 or MS.90030-M1.
Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use DOT 3, SAE J1703 brake fluid. If DOT 3 brake fluid is not
available then TUTELA TOP4/S, FMVSS no. 116 DOT 4, ISO 4925 SAE J1704, or
equivalent, is acceptable.
If using DOT 4 brake fluid change interval is time based only, regardless of mileage.
FUEL CONSUMPTION AND
CO
2EMISSIONS
The fuel consumption and CO2emission fig-
ures declared by the manufacturer are deter-
mined on the basis of the type-approval tests
laid down by the applicable standards in the
country where the vehicle is registered.
The type of route, traffic conditions, weather
conditions, driving style, general condition of
the vehicle, trim level/equipment/ accesso-
ries, use of the climate control system, ve-
hicle load, presence of roof racks and othersituations that adversely affect the aerody-
namics or wind resistance lead to different
fuel consumption values than those mea-
sured.
The fuel consumption will only become more
regular after driving the first 1,864 miles
(3000 km).
To find the specific fuel consumption and
CO
2emission figures for this vehicle, please
refer to the data in the Certificate of Confor-
mity, and the related documentation that
accompanies the vehicle.
