INTERNAL EQUIPMENT
Electrical Power Outlets    
There  are  two  12  Volt  (13  Amp)  auxiliary
power  outlets  that  can  provide  power  for
accessories  designed  for  use  with  the  stan -
dard power outlet adapters.
The  front  power  outlet  is  located  in  the
center  of  the  instrument  panel  below  the
climate  controls,  and  is  powered  from  the
ignition switch. Power is available when  the
ignition  switch  is  in  the  ACC  or  ON/RUN
position. Front Power Outlet
On vehicles equipped with a rear subwoofer,
there is a second power outlet located in the
rear cargo area and is powered directly from
the vehicle battery.
Rear Cargo Power Outlet WARNING!
Driving  with  the  flip-up  window  open  can
allow  poisonous  exhaust  gases  into  your

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, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power  up  to  150  Watts.  Certain  high-end
video game consoles exceed this power limit,
as will most power tools.
Power Inverter
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  elec -
trical  device  has  been  removed  from  the
outlet,  the  inverter  should  automatically
 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.
 CAUTION!
Do  not  exceed  the  maximum  power  of
160 Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the
160  Watt  (13  Amp)  power  rating  is
exceeded the fuse protecting the system
will need to be replaced.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object
in the power outlets as this will damage
the  outlet  and  blow  the  fuse.  Improper
use  of  the  power  outlet  can  cause
damage not covered by your New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
 CAUTION!
Many accessories that can be plugged in
draw  power  from  the  vehicle's  battery,
even  when  not  in  use  (i.e.,  cellular
phones,  etc.).  Eventually,  if  plugged  in
long  enough,  the  vehicle's  battery  will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life  and/or  prevent  the  engine  from
starting.
Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers,  vacuum  cleaners,  lights,  etc.),
will  degrade  the  battery  even  more
quickly.  Only  use  these  intermittently
and with greater caution.
After the use of  high power  draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being  started  (with  accessories  still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient  length  of  time  to  allow  the
alternator  to  recharge  the  vehicle's
battery.
Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs  only.  Do  not  hang  any  type  of
accessory  or  accessory  bracket  from the
plug.  Improper  use  of  the  power  outlet
can cause damage.

On or Off Auxiliary Switches
NOTE:
Holding  last  state  conditions  are  met  when
switch  type  is  set  to  latching  and  power
source is set to ignition.
For  more  information,  refer  to  “Uconnect
Settings”  in  “Multimedia”  in  your  Owner’s
Manual.
For  the  connection  and  installation  of  your
electrical  devices  refer  to  your  authorized
dealership.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF 
EQUIPPED  
NOTE:
Roof  rack  applications  are  for  Hard  Top
models  ONLY.
The load carried on the roof, when equipped
with a luggage rack, must not exceed 100 lbs
(45 kg), this includes the weight of the cross -
bars, and  it  should  be  uniformly  distributed
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 an authorized
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!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 
SYSTEMS — IF EQUIPPED
Gasoline  Particulate  Filter  (GPF)  —  2.0L  T4
Petrol Versions Only
The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a mechan-
ical  filter,  integral  to  the  exhaust  system,
which  physically  traps  carbon  particles present  in  the  exhaust  gases  of  2.0L  T4
petrol engines.
The  particulate  filter  is  needed  to  eliminate
almost  all  carbon  particle  emissions  in
compliance  with  current/future  regulations
and standards.
Since this filter physically traps particulates,
it  must  be  cleaned  (regenerated)  during
normal  driving  operation  to  remove  carbon
particles.  The  regeneration  procedure  is
controlled  automatically  by  the  engine
control unit according to the filter conditions
and car use conditions.
The following may occur during regeneration:
increased  levels  of  noise  vibration  and
harshness  (NVH)  and  reduced  engine
performance.
Dedicated  messages  can  appear  in  the
instrument  cluster display as a result  of  the
condition  of  the  filter.  Refer  to  the  opening
paragraph  of  the  "Warning  Lights  And
Messages" section for further information.
 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 cautions 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  distribute
heavy  loads  as  evenly  as  possible  and
secure the load appropriately.
Long loads, which extend over the wind
-
shield,  should  be  secured  to  both  the
front and rear of the vehicle.
Place  a  blanket  or  other  protection
between the  surface  of  the  roof and  the
load.
Travel  at  reduced  speeds  and  turn
corners  carefully  when  carrying  large  or
heavy  loads  on  the  roof  rack.  Wind
forces,  due  to  natural  causes  or  nearby
truck  traffic,  can  add  sudden  upward
loads.  It  is  recommended  to  not  carry
large flat  loads, such  as  wood  panels  or
surfboards, which 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.

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

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.
