Traction Control System (TCS)

The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors the
amount of wheel spin of each of the driven
wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the TCS may
apply brake pressure to the spinning wheel(s) and/
or reduce engine power to provide enhanced
acceleration and stability. A feature of the TCS,
Brake Limited Differential (BLD), functions
similar to a limited slip differential and controls
the wheel spin across a driven axle. If one wheel
on a driven axle is spinning faster than the other,
the system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to be
applied to the wheel that is not spinning. BLD
may remain enabled even if TCS and Electronic
Stability Control (ESC) are in a reduced mode.

AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the taillights, to detect highway licensable
vehicles (automobiles, trucks, motorcycles,
etc.) that enter the blind spot zones from the
rear/front/side of the vehicle.Rear Detection Zones

When the vehicle is started, the BSM warning
light will momentarily illuminate in both outside
rear view mirrors to let the driver know that the
system is operational. The BSM system sensors
operate when the vehicle is in any forward gear or
REVERSE (R) and enters standby mode when the
vehicle is in PARK (P).
The BSM detection zone covers approximately
one lane width on both sides of the vehicle, 12 ft
(3.8 m). The zone length starts at the outside rear
view mirror and extends approximately 10 ft
(3 m) beyond the rear bumper of the vehicle. The
BSM system monitors the detection zones on both
sides of the vehicle when the vehicle speed
reaches approximately 6 mph (10 km/h) or higher and will alert the driver of vehicles in these areas.
NOTE:
The BSM system DOES NOT alert the
driver about rapidly approaching vehicles
that are outside the detection zones.
The BSM system detection zone DOES
NOT change if your vehicle is towing a
trailer. Therefore, visually verify the adja-
cent lane is clear for both your vehicle and
trailer before making a lane change. If the
trailer or other object (i.e., bicycle, sports
equipment) extends beyond the side of
your vehicle, this may result in the BSM
warning light remaining illuminated the
entire time the vehicle is in a forward gear.
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
may experience drop outs (blinking on and
off) of the side mirror Warning Indicator
lamps when a motorcycle or any small
object remains at the side of the vehicle
for extended periods of time (more than a
couple of seconds).
The area on taillights, where the radar
sensors are located, must remain free of
snow, ice, and dirt/road contamination so
that the BSM system can function properly.
Do not block the taillights where the radar
sensors are located with foreign objects
(bumper stickers, bicycle racks, etc.).

SAFETY
88
The BSM system notifies the driver of
objects in the detection zones by illumi-
nating the BSM warning light located in the
outside mirrors in addition to sounding an
audible (chime) alert and reducing the radio
volume. Refer to “Modes Of Operation” for
further information.
The BSM system monitors the detection
zone from three different entry points (side,
rear, front) while driving to see if an alert is
necessary. The BSM system will issue an
alert during these types of zone entries.
Entering From The Side
Vehicles that move into your adjacent lanes
from either side of the vehicle.
Entering From The Rear
Vehicles that come up from behind your
vehicle on either side and enter the rear
detection zone with a relative speed of less
than 30 mph (48 km/h).
Overtaking Traffic
If you pass another vehicle slowly with a rela -
tive speed less than 15 mph (24 km/h) and
the vehicle remains in the blind spot for
approximately 1.5 seconds, the warning light will be illuminated. If the difference in speed
between the two vehicles is greater than
15 mph (24 km/h), the warning light will not
illuminate.
The BSM system is designed not to issue an
alert on stationary objects such as guardrails,
posts, walls, foliage, berms, etc. However,
occasionally the system may alert on such
objects. This is normal operation and your
vehicle does not require service.
The BSM system will not alert you of objects
that are traveling in the opposite direction of
the vehicle in adjacent lanes.Rear Cross Path (RCP)
The Rear Cross Path (RCP) feature is
intended to aid the driver when backing out
of parking spaces where their vision of
oncoming vehicles may be blocked. Proceed
slowly and cautiously out of the parking
space until the rear end of the vehicle is
exposed. The RCP system will then have a
clear view of the cross traffic and if an
oncoming vehicle is detected, alert the
driver.
RCP monitors the rear detection zones on
both sides of the vehicle, for objects that are
moving toward the side of the vehicle with a
minimum speed of approximately 3 mph
(5 km/h), to objects moving a maximum of
approximately 20 mph (32 km/h), such as in
parking lot situations.
NOTE:
In a parking lot situation, oncoming vehicles
can be obscured by vehicles parked on either
side. If the sensors are blocked by other
structures or vehicles, the system will not be
able to alert the driver.
When RCP is on and the vehicle is in
REVERSE (R), the driver is alerted using
both the visual and audible alarms, including
reducing the radio volume.
WARNING!
The Blind Spot Monitoring system is only
an aid to help detect objects in the blind
spot zones. The BSM system is not
designed to detect pedestrians, bicyclists,
or animals. Even if your vehicle is
equipped with the BSM system, always
check your vehicle’s mirrors, glance over
your shoulder, and use your turn signal
before changing lanes. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.

To deactivate the TPMS, first replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with tires
not equipped with Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM)
sensors. Then, drive the vehicle for 10 minutes
above 15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off for
75 seconds and then remain on. The instrument
cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE PRES-
SURE SYSTEM” message and then display
dashes (--) in place of the pressure values.
Beginning with the next ignition cycle, the TPMS
will no longer chime or display the “SERVICE
TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM” message in the
instrument cluster but dashes (--) will remain in
place of the pressure values.

To reactivate the TPMS, replace all four
wheel and tire assemblies (road tires) with
tires equipped with TPMS sensors. Then,
drive the vehicle for up to 10 minutes above
15 mph (24 km/h). The TPMS will chime,
the TPMS Warning Light will flash on and off
for 75 seconds and then turn off. The instru -
ment cluster will display the “SERVICE TIRE
PRESSURE SYSTEM” message and then
display pressure values in place of the
dashes. On the next ignition cycle the
"SERVICE TIRE PRESSURE SYSTEM"
message will no longer be displayed as long
as no system fault exists.OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
SYSTEMS
Some of the most important safety features
in your vehicle are the restraint systems:
Occupant Restraint Systems Features
Seat Belt Systems
Supplemental Restraint Systems (SRS)
Air Bags
Child Restraints
Some of the safety features described in this
section may be standard equipment on some
models, or may be optional equipment on
others. If you are not sure, ask an authorized
dealer.
Important Safety Precautions
Please pay close attention to the information
in this section. It tells you how to use your
restraint system properly, to keep you and
your passengers as safe as possible. Here are some simple steps you can take to
minimize the risk of harm from a deploying
air bag:
1. Children 12 years old and under should
always ride buckled up in the rear seat of
a vehicle with a rear seat.
Warning Label On Front Passenger Sun Visor
2. A child who is not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (Refer to “Child
Restraints” in this section for further
information) must be secured in the
appropriate child restraint or belt-posi -
tioning booster seat in a rear seating
position.

(Continued)
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside
The Vehicle
Seat Belts

Inspect the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do
not disassemble or modify the system.

Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if they
have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.). If there is any question
regarding seat belt or retractor condition,
replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The Air Bag warning light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when
the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN.
If the light is either not on during starting,
stays on, or turns on while driving, have the
system inspected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. This light will illuminate
with a single chime when a fault with the Air
Bag Warning Light has been detected, it will
stay on until the fault is removed. If the light
comes on intermittently or remains on while
driving, have an authorized dealer service the
vehicle immediately. Refer to “Occupant
Restraint Systems” in “Safety” for further
information.
Defroster
Check operation by selecting the defrost
mode and place the blower control on high
speed. You should be able to feel the air
directed against the windshield. See an
authorized dealer for service if your defroster
is inoperable.
Floor Mat Safety Information
Always use floor mats designed to fit your
vehicle. Only use a floor mat that does not
interfere with the operation of the pedal
assemblies. Only use a floor mat that is
securely attached using the floor mat
fasteners so it cannot slip out of position and
interfere with the pedal assemblies or impair
safe operation of your vehicle in other ways.
WARNING!

An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or
stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat
fasteners may cause your floor mat to
interfere with the accelerator, brake, or
clutch pedals and cause a loss of vehicle
control. To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or
DEATH:

ALWAYS securely attach your floor
mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO
NOT install your floor mat upside down
or turn your floor mat over. Lightly pull to
confirm mat is secured using the floor
mat fasteners on a regular basis.

(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.

AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist
in placing the vehicle in PARK should the
situations on the following pages occur. It is
a back up system and should not be relied
upon as the primary method by which the
driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.
The conditions under which AutoPark will
engage are outlined on the following pages. If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns
off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.
AutoPark will engage when all of these
conditions are met:
Vehicle is equipped with an 8-speed trans-
mission
Driver’s door is ajar or in conditions where
driver door is removed an additional
trigger would be if the driver is off the seat
(seat pad sensor detects driver missing).
Vehicle is not in PARK
Vehicle speed is 0 mph (0 km/h)
Ignition switched from RUN to OFF
NOTE:
For Keyless Enter-N-Go equipped vehicles,
The engine will turn off and the ignition
switch will change to ACC mode. After
30 minutes the ignition switches to OFF
automatically, unless the driver turns the
ignition switch OFF.
WARNING!
Driver inattention could lead to failure to
place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO
A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in
PARK by verifying that a solid (not
blinking) “P” is indicated in the instru -
ment cluster display and on the gear
selector. If the "P" indicator is blinking,
your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added
precaution, always apply the parking
brake when exiting the vehicle.
AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is
not designed to replace the need to shift
your vehicle into PARK. It is a back up
system and should not be relied upon as
the primary method by which the driver
shifts the vehicle into PARK.

141
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.
