10GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob With
Remote Control
The replacement battery is one CR2032
battery.
NOTE:
Perchlorate Material — special handling may
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazard -
ouswaste/perchlorate for further informa -
tion.
Do not replace coin battery unless the instru -
ment cluster display shows the message
“Key Fob Low Battery”.
Do not touch the battery terminals that are
on the back housing or the printed circuit
board.

1. Remove the emergency key by sliding the mechanical latch on the back of the key
fob sideways with your thumb and then pull
the key out with your other hand.

2. Gently pry the two halves of the key fob apart. Make sure not to damage the seal
during removal.

Separating WIN Key Fob Case
3. Remove the battery by turning the back
cover over (battery facing downward) and
tapping it lightly on a solid surface such as
a table or similar, then replace the battery.
When replacing the battery, match the (+)
sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the
inside of the battery clip, located on the
back cover. Avoid touching the new battery
with your fingers. Skin oils may cause
battery deterioration. If you touch a battery,
clean it with rubbing alcohol.
4. To assemble the key fob case, line up the two case halves, and snap them together.Programming Additional Key Fobs
Programming the key fob may be performed by
an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it
cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.

102GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS
In some localities, it may be a legal requirement
to pass an inspection of your vehicle's
emissions control system. Failure to pass could
prevent vehicle registration.
For states that require an Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M), this check
verifies the “Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL)” is functioning and is not
on when the engine is running, and that the
OBD II system is ready for testing.
Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The
OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle
was recently serviced, recently had a depleted
battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II
system should be determined not ready for the
I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.
Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test,
which you can use prior to going to the test
station. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system
is ready, you must do the following:
1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,
but do not crank or start the engine.

NOTE:
If you crank or start the engine, you will have to
start this test over.
2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ON position, you will see the
“Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” symbol
come on as part of a normal bulb check.
3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:
The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds
and then return to being fully illuminated
until you turn OFF the ignition or start the
engine. This means that your vehicle's
OBD II system is not ready and you should
not proceed to the I/M station.
The MIL will not flash at all and will remain
fully illuminated until you place the ignition
in the off position or start the engine. This
means that your vehicle's OBD II system is
ready and you can proceed to the I/M
station. If your OBD II system is not ready,
you should
see an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your
vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery
failure or replacement, you may need to do
nothing more than drive your vehicle as you
normally would in order for your OBD II system
to update. A recheck with the above test routine
may then indicate that the system is now ready.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II
system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated
during normal vehicle operation you should
have your vehicle serviced before going to the
I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle
because the MIL is on with the engine running.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning Flashers switch is located
in the lower center area of the instrument
panel.Push the switch to turn on the Hazard
Warning Flashers. When the switch is
activated, all directional turn signals
will flash on and off to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. Push the switch a
second time to turn off the Hazard Warning
Flashers. This is an emergency warning system and it
should not be used when the vehicle is in
motion. Use it when your vehicle is disabled and
it is creating a safety hazard for other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning Flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition is
placed in the OFF position.
NOTE:
With extended use, the Hazard Warning
Flashers may wear down your battery.

Warning
Read this information carefully before starting
to operate the navigation system and follow the
instructions in this manual. Neither the FCA US
LLC nor Garmin® shall be liable for problems or
accidents resulting from failure to observe the
instructions in this manual.
Failure to avoid the following potentially
hazardous situations could result in an accident
or collision resulting in death or serious injury.
Always drive safely. Only use the navigation
features in this vehicle when it is safe to do
so. You accept full responsibility for the use
of the features in this vehicle.
When navigating, carefully compare informa -
tion displayed on the navigation system to all
available navigation sources, including road
signs, road closures, road conditions, traffic
congestion, weather conditions, and other
factors that may affect safety while driving.
For safety, always resolve any discrepancies
before continuing navigation, and defer to
posted road signs and road conditions.
The navigation system is designed to provide
route suggestions. It is not a replacement for
driver attentiveness and good judgment. Do
not follow route suggestions if they suggest
an unsafe or illegal maneuver or would place
the vehicle in an unsafe situation.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using
the navigation system at extreme tempera -
tures can lead to malfunction or damage.
Also note that the unit can be damaged by
strong vibration, metal objects, or by water
getting inside the unit.
Caution
The navigation system is designed to provide
you with route suggestions. It does not reflect
road closures or road conditions, weather
conditions, or other factors that may affect
safety or timing while driving.
Use the navigation system only as a naviga -
tional aid. Do not attempt to use the navigation
system for any purpose requiring precise
measurement of direction, distance, location,
or topography. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is
operated by the United States government,
which is solely responsible for its accuracy and
maintenance. The government system is
subject to changes that could affect the
accuracy and performance of all GPS
equipment, including the navigation system.
Notice
This navigation system can be used when the
ignition key is turned to ON/RUN or ACC. To
preserve the battery, however, it should be used
with the engine running whenever possible.
Using the navigation system for a long time with
the engine switched off can cause the battery to
run down.
Map Data Information
Garmin® uses a combination of governmental
and private data sources. Virtually all data
sources contain some inaccurate or incomplete
data. In some countries, complete and accurate
map information is either not available or is
prohibitively expensive.
