Accessories Purchased By The Owner

If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in
any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical
system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.

NOTE:

Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect
efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.).

FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not
installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices
FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with
manufacturer's specifications.

NOTE:

Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void
the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not
installed in compliance with the provided instructions.
WARNING!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could

doors are opened or when the dimmer control
is rotated to its farthest upward position. The
glove compartment light turns on automati -
cally when the glove compartment is opened
and turn off when it is closed. The door cour -
tesy lights illuminate when one of the front
doors is opened, and turn off when it is closed.
The trunk courtesy lights turn on automatically
when the trunk is opened and turn off when it
is closed. All of these lights turn on and off
regardless of the ignition status.

Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel to ventilate the
chest and face. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct
the flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up
and down or side to side to regulate airflow
direction. There is a shut off wheel located
below the air vanes to shut off or adjust the
amount of airflow from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.

NOTE:

Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort
conditions to provide cooler air out of the
panel outlets and warmer air from the floor
outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A
slight amount of air is directed
through the defrost and side window
demister outlets. This setting heats
the passenger compartment the quickest.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor,
defrost, and side window demister
outlets. This setting works best in
cold or snowy conditions that require
extra heat to the windshield. This setting is
good for maintaining comfort while reducing
moisture on the windshield.
Front Defrost And Panel Mode
Air flow is distributed between the
windshield demisting/defrosting
vents and side/central dashboard
vents. This setting allows air to flow
to the windshield on sunny days.
Front Defrost And Bi-Level Mode
Air flow is distributed to all vents.

corrected. If the problem is related to the
brake booster, the ABS pump will run when
applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsa-
tion may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by
the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on
when the brake fluid level in the master
cylinder has dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp
cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level
conditions. The vehicle should have service
performed, and the brake fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair
is necessary. Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) are also equipped with Elec
-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the
event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light.
Immediate repair to the ABS system is
required.
Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be
checked by turning the ignition switch from the
OFF position to the ON/RUN position. The light
should illuminate for approximately two
seconds. The light should then turn off unless
the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is
detected. If the light does not illuminate, have
the light inspected by an authorized dealer. The light also will turn on when the parking
brake is applied with the ignition switch in the
ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is
applied. It does not show the degree of brake
application.
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Failure
The simultaneous turning on of the
BRAKE (red) and (amber) warning
lights with the engine on indicates
either a failure of the EBD system or
that the system is not available. In this case,
the rear wheels may suddenly lock and the
vehicle may swerve when braking abruptly.
Drive very carefully to the nearest authorized
dealer to have the system inspected immedi -
ately.
Oil Temperature Warning Light
This telltale indicates engine oil
temperature is high.
Stop the vehicle and shut off the
engine as soon as possible. If the problem
persists, contact an authorized dealer.
WARNING!
The fault of the warning light is signaled by
the turning on of the icon on the instru -
ment panel. In this case, the warning light
may not indicate any faults with the
restraint systems. Before proceeding,
contact an authorized dealer to have the
system checked immediately.
If the warning light does not turn on when
the ignition device is moved to ON or if it
stays on when driving (together with the
message on the display), there might be a
fault in the restraint systems; in this case,
the air bags or pretensioners may not
deploy in the event of an accident or, in a
lower number of cases, they could deploy
erroneously. Before proceeding, contact
an authorized dealer to have the system
checked immediately.
