INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING
EQUIPMENT
Special design considerations are incorporated into this
vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio
frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone
equipment must be installed properly by trained person-
nel. The following must be observed during installation.
The positive power connection should be made
directly to the battery and fused as close to the battery as
possible. The negative power connection should be made
to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative battery
connection. This connection should not be fused.
Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on
the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be
used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets
may affect the accuracy or operation of the compass on
vehicles so equipped.
The antenna cable should be as short as practical and
routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use
only fully shielded coaxial cable.
Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to
ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR). Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than
normal may require special precautions.
All installations should be checked for possible

interference between the communications equipment
and the vehicle’s electronic systems.
Operating, servicing and maintaining a
passenger vehicle or off-highway motor
vehicle can expose you to chemicals inclu -
ding engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,
phthalates, and lead, which are known to
the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
To minimize exposure, avoid breathing
exhaust, do not idle the engine except as ne -
cessary, service your vehicle in a well-ven -
tilated area and wear gloves or wash
your hands frequently when servicing
your vehicle. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
WARNING:
VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA
With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name
FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the
name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of
accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with
blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If
you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public
transportation. This manual illustrates and describes the operation
of features and equipment that are either standard or

optional on this vehicle. This manual may also include
a description of features and equipment that are no
longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle.
Please disregard any features and equipment described
in this manual that are not on this vehicle.
FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in
design and specifications, and/or make additions to
or improvements to its products without imposing
any obligation upon itself to install them on products
previously manufactured.
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident.
Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are
slower, and your judgment is impaired when you
have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
