Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The  Gear  Shift  Indicator  (GSI)  system  is
enabled  on  vehicles  when  automatic  trans-
mission  is  in  manual  shift  mode.  The  GSI
provides  the  driver  with  a  visual  indication
when the recommended gear shift point has
been  reached.  This  indication  notifies  the
driver that changing gears will allow a reduc -
tion in fuel consumption. When the up shift
indicator is shown on the instrument cluster
display,  the  GSI  is  advising  the  driver  to
engage  a  higher  gear.  When  the  down  shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver
changes  gear,  or  the  driving  conditions
return to a situation where changing gears is
not required to improve fuel consumption.
Diesel Displays
When  the  appropriate  conditions  exist,  the
following messages display in the instrument
cluster display:

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages 
This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis -
sions  standards,  your  vehicle  is  equipped
with  a  state-of-the-art  engine  and  exhaust
system.  These  systems  are  seamlessly  inte -
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages  engine  combustion  to  allow  the
exhaust  system’s  catalyst  to  trap  and  burn
Particulate  Matter  (PM)  pollutants,  with  no
input or interaction on your part.
 WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park  over  materials  that  can  burn.  Such
materials  might  be  grass  or  leaves  coming
into  contact  with  your  exhaust  system.  Do
not  park  or  operate  your  vehicle  in  areas
where  your  exhaust  system  can  contact
anything that can burn.
 CAUTION!
Always drive  at  a  speed appropriate  to the
traffic  conditions,  the  weather  and  traffic
regulations.  The  engine  may  be  switched
off even if the warning light is on: repeated
interruptions  of  the  regeneration  process
could  cause  an  early  deterioration  of
engine  oil.  For  this  reason  it  is  always
advisable  to  wait  for  the  symbol  to  go  off
before turning off the engine, following the
instructions  above.  Do  not  complete  the
DPF regeneration process when the vehicle
is stopped.

SAFETY TIPS   
Transporting Passengers
NEVER TRANSPORT PASSENGERS IN THE
CARGO AREA.
Exhaust Gas     The best protection against carbon monoxide
entry  into  the  vehicle  body  is  a  properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be  detected  inside  the  vehicle,  or  when  the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have  a  competent  mechanic  inspect  the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas  for  broken,  damaged,  deteriorated,  or
mispositioned  parts.  Open  seams  or  loose
connections  could  permit  exhaust  fumes  to
seep  into  the  passenger  compartment.  In
addition,  inspect  the  exhaust  system  each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.
 WARNING!
Do  not  leave  children  or  animals  inside
parked  vehicles  in  hot  weather.  Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
It  is  extremely  dangerous  to  ride  in  a
cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In  a  collision,  people  riding  in  these
areas  are  more  likely  to  be  seriously
injured or killed.
Do not allow people to ride in any area of
your  vehicle  that  is  not  equipped  with
seats and seat belts.
Be  sure  everyone  in  your  vehicle  is  in  a
seat and using a seat belt properly.
 WARNING!
Exhaust  gases  can  injure  or  kill.  They
contain  carbon  monoxide  (CO),  which  is
colorless  and  odorless.  Breathing  it  can
make  you  unconscious  and  can  eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow
these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in
confined  areas  any  longer  than  needed  to
move your vehicle in or out of the area.
If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift-
gate/rear  doors  open,  make  sure  that  all
windows  are  closed  and  the  climate  control
BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT
use the recirculation mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with  the  engine  running,  adjust  your
heating  or  cooling  controls  to  force
outside  air  into  the  vehicle.  Set  the
blower at high speed.

(Continued)
Periodic Safety Checks You Should Make 
Outside The Vehicle
Tires 
Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven
wear  patterns.  Check  for  stones,  nails,  glass,  or
other  objects  lodged  in  the  tread  or  sidewall.
Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect side-
walls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the wheel
nuts for tightness. Check the tires (including spare)
for proper cold inflation pressure.
Lights        
Have  someone  observe  the  operation  of  brake
lights  and  exterior  lights  while  you  work  the
controls.  Check  turn  signal  and  high  beam  indi -
cator lights on the instrument panel.
Door Latches 
Check  for  proper  closing,  latching,  and
locking.
Fluid Leaks 
Check  area  under  vehicle  after  overnight
parking  for  fuel,  coolant,  oil,  or  other  fluid
leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or
if fuel, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the
cause  should  be  located  and  corrected
immediately.
ALWAYS  REMOVE  THE  EXISTING
FLOOR  MAT  FROM  THE  VEHICLE 
before  installing  any  other  floor  mat.
NEVER  install  or  stack  an  additional
floor mat on top of an existing floor mat.
ONLY  install  floor  mats  designed  to  fit
your  vehicle.  NEVER  install  a  floor  mat
that  cannot  be  properly  attached  and
secured  to  your  vehicle.  If  a  floor  mat
needs  to  be  replaced,  only  use  a  FCA
approved floor mat for the specific make,
model, and year of your vehicle.
ONLY  use  the  driver’s  side  floor  mat  on
the driver’s side floor area. To check for
interference,  with  the  vehicle  properly
parked with the engine off, fully depress
the  accelerator,  the  brake,  and  the
clutch  pedal  (if  present)  to  check  for
interference.  If  your floor  mat  interferes
with the operation of any pedal, or is not
secure to the floor, remove the floor mat
from the vehicle and place the floor mat
in your trunk.
ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat
on the passenger’s side floor area.
 WARNING! (Continued)
ALWAYS  make  sure  objects  cannot  fall
or  slide  into  the  driver’s  side  floor  area
when the vehicle is moving. Objects can
become  trapped  under  accelerator,
brake, or clutch pedals and could cause
a loss of vehicle control.
NEVER place any objects under the floor
mat  (e.g.,  towels,  keys,  etc.).  These
objects could change the position of the
floor  mat  and  may  cause  interference
with  the  accelerator,  brake,  or  clutch
pedals.
If  the  vehicle  carpet  has  been  removed
and  re-installed,  always  properly  attach
carpet  to  the  floor  and  check  the  floor
mat  fasteners  are  secure  to  the  vehicle
carpet.  Fully  depress  each  pedal  to
check  for  interference  with  the  acceler -
ator,  brake,  or  clutch  pedals  then
re-install the floor mats.
It is recommended to only use mild soap
and water to clean your floor mats. After
cleaning,  always  check  your  floor  mat
has  been  properly  installed  and  is
secured  to  your  vehicle  using  the  floor
mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.
 WARNING! (Continued)

NORMAL STARTING — 
DIESEL ENGINE
1. The  gear  selector  must  be  in  theNEUTRAL  or  PARK  position  before  you
can start the engine.
2. Place the ignition in the ON position.
3. Watch for the “Wait To Start Light” in the instrument cluster. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster” in “Getting To Know Your Instru -
ment  Panel”  for  further  review.  It  will
glow  for  two  to  ten  seconds  or  more,
depending on engine temperature. When
the  “Wait  To  Start  Light”  goes  out,  the
engine is ready to start.
4. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for approximately 30 seconds before driving.
This allows oil to circulate and lubricate
the turbocharger. Tip Start Feature:
5.
Do not  press the accelerator. Cycle the igni -
tion to the START position and then release
it.  The  starter  motor  will  continue  to  run,
and  it  will  automatically  disengage  when
the engine is running. If the engine fails to
start,  the  starter  will  disengage  automati -
cally  in  25  seconds.  If  this  occurs,  cycle
the  ignition  to  the  LOCK  position,  wait  25
to  30  seconds,  then  repeat  the  “Normal
Starting” procedure.
NOTE:
The starter motor may run up to 30 seconds
in  very  cold  conditions  until  the  engine  is
started.  The  starter  can  be  disengaged  by
cycling  the  ignition  to  the  OFF  position,  if
required.
Diesel 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.
If  temperatures  are  below  32°F  (0°C),
operate  the  engine  at  moderate  speeds  for
5 minutes before full loads are applied.
