present, the system will return to its full
performance state. If the problem persists,
see an authorized dealer.
Service FCW Warning
If the system turns off, and the instrument
cluster display reads:
ACC/FCW Unavailable Service Required
Cruise/FCW Unavailable Service Required
This indicates there is an internal system
fault. Although the vehicle is still driveable
under normal conditions, have the system
checked by an authorized dealer.
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) — If
Equipped
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is a
sub-system of the FCW system which
provides the driver with audible and visual
warnings in the instrument cluster display,
and may apply automatic braking when it
detects a potential frontal collision with a
pedestrian.
If a PEB event begins at a speed below
37 mph (60 km/h), the system may provide
braking to mitigate the potential collision
with a pedestrian. If the PEB event stops the vehicle completely, the system will hold the
vehicle at a standstill for two seconds and
then release the brakes. When the system
determines a collision with the pedestrian in
front of you is no longer probable, the
warning message will be deactivated.
The minimum speed for PEB activation is
3 mph (5 km/h).
Turning PEB On Or Off
NOTE:
The default status of PEB is “On.” This
allows the system to warn you of a possible
frontal collision with the pedestrian.
The PEB button is located in the Uconnect
display in the Controls settings. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” in the
Owner’s Manual for further information.
To turn the PEB system off, push the
“Pedestrian Emergency Braking” button
once.
To turn the PEB system back on, push the
“Pedestrian Emergency Braking” button
again.
Changing the PEB status to “Off” deacti
-
vates the system, so no warning or active
braking will be available in case of a possible
frontal collision with the pedestrian.
NOTE:
The PEB system will NOT retain the last
setting selected by the driver after ignition
shut down. The system will reset to the
default setting when the vehicle is restarted.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
will warn the driver of a low tire pressure
based on the vehicle recommended cold
placard pressure.
NOTE:
The system only warns the tire pressure is
low: it is not able to inflate them.
WARNING!
Pedestrian Emergency Braking (PEB) is
not intended to avoid a collision on its
own, nor can PEB detect every type of
potential collision with a pedestrian. The
driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via
braking and steering. Failure to follow this
warning could lead to serious injury or
death.

Normal Starting — Diesel Engine
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten
your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to
30-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes
between such intervals will protect the
starter from overheating.NOTE:
Engine start up in very low ambient tempera-
ture could result in evident white smoke.
This condition will disappear as the engine
warms up.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as
the battery temperature decreases to 0°F
(-18°C). For the same decrease in tempera -
ture, the engine requires twice as much
power to crank at the same RPM. The use of
battery blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures. Suitable
battery blankets are available from your
authorized Mopar dealer.
Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Observe the instrument panel telltales when
starting the engine.
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
1. Always apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while pushing the ENGINE START/STOP
button once.
NOTE:
A delay of the start of up to five seconds is
possible under very cold conditions. The
“Wait to Start” telltale will be illuminated
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always come to
a complete stop, then shift the auto-
matic transmission into PARK and apply
the parking brake.
Always make sure the keyless ignition
node is in the OFF mode, key fob is
removed from the vehicle and vehicle is
locked.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Leaving children in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
The engine is allowed to crank as long as
30 seconds. If the engine fails to start
during this period, please wait at least two
minutes for the starter to cool before
repeating start procedure.

during the pre-heat process, When the
engine “Wait To Start” telltale goes off the
engine will automatically crank.
3. The system will automatically engage thestarter to crank the engine. If the vehicle
fails to start, the starter will disengage
automatically after 30 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine prior to the engine starting, push
the ENGINE START/STOP button again.
5. Check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.
6. Release the parking brake.Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine
is cold. When starting a cold engine, bring
the engine up to operating speed slowly to
allow the oil pressure to stabilize as the
engine warms up.
NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine
can result in excessive white smoke and poor
engine performance. No-load engine speeds
should be kept under 1,200 RPM during the
warm-up period, especially in cold ambient
temperature conditions.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle accelera
-
tion within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open
throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri -
mental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis -
tent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a
normal part of the break-in and not inter -
preted as a problem.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds
before trying again.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.

cluster display with instructions on how to
complete the requested shift. Refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting
To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
further information.
Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is
possible with the vehicle completely
stopped; however, difficulty may occur
due to the mating clutch teeth not being
properly aligned. Several attempts may be
required for clutch teeth alignment and
shift completion to occur. The preferred
method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is
moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the
4WD system will not allow the shift.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
For the neutral shift procedure refer to
“Recreational Towing” in chapter for further
information.
Rear Electronic Locker (E-Locker) System
