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 
accelerator, brake or clutch pedals. 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 
accelerator, brake or clutch pedals or impair safe 
operation of your vehicle in other ways.
PERIODIC SAFETY CHECKS YOU SHOULD 
M
AKE 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 sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. 
Check the lug nut/bolt torque for tightness. Check the 
tires (including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.
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.
  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 US LLC 
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.
 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 acceler -
ator, brake, or clutch pedals and could cause a loss 
of vehicle control.
WARNING!
 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 accelerator, 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.

Tire Service Kit Usage Precautions
 Replace the Tire Service Kit Sealant Bottle prior to the 
expiration date (printed at the lower right hand corner 
on the bottle label) to assure optimum operation of the 
system. See the Sealant Bottle Replacement in this 
section for further information. 
The Sealant Bottle is a one tire application use and 
needs to be replaced after each use. Always replace 
these components immediately at your original equip -
ment vehicle dealer.
 When the Tire Service Kit sealant is in a liquid form, 
clean water, and a damp cloth will remove the material 
from the vehicle or tire and wheel components. Once 
the sealant dries, it can easily be peeled off and prop -
erly discarded.
 For optimum performance, make sure the valve stem 
on the wheel is free of debris before connecting the 
Tire Service Kit.
 The Tire Service Kit Sealant is only intended to seal 
punctures less than 1/4 inch (6 mm) diameter in the 
tread/contact surface of your vehicle’s tires.
 The Tire Service Kit Sealant is not intended to seal 
punctures on the tires' side walls.
 You can use the Tire Service Kit air pump to inflate 
bicycle tires. The kit also comes with two needles, 
located in the Accessory Storage Compartment (on the 
bottom of the air pump) for inflating sport balls, rafts, 
or similar inflatable items. However, use only the Air 
Pump and make sure the Mode Select Knob is in the Air 
Mode when inflating such items to avoid injecting 
sealant into them.
 Do not lift or carry the Tire Service Kit by the hoses.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle 
closest to traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid 
the danger of being hit when using the Tire Service 
Kit.
 Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under 
the following circumstances:
 If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 
1/4 inch (6 mm) or larger.
 If the tire has any sidewall damage.
 If the tire has any damage from driving with 
extremely low tire pressure.
 If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat 
tire.
 If the wheel has any damage.
 If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or 
the wheel.
 Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or heat 
source.
 A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a collision 
or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the 
vehicle. Always stow the Tire Service Kit in the place 
provided. Failure to follow these warnings can result 
in injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your 
passengers, and others around you.

254IN CASE OF EMERGENCY  
If the temperature gauge is moving towards or close to the 
HOT (H) position, you can reduce the potential for 
overheating by taking the appropriate action.
On highways — slow down.
 In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in 
NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the engine idle speed 
while preventing vehicle motion with the brakes.
 If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C 
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and 
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
 You can also turn the temperature control to maximum 
heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control 
to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supple -
ment to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the 
engine cooling system.MANUAL PARK RELEASE 
To move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will 
not shift out of PARK (P) (such as a depleted battery), a 
Manual Park Release is available.
Manual Park Release Access Cover
Follow These Steps To Activate The Manual Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while seated  in the driver’s seat.
2. Apply the parking brake, if possible.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, remove the  Manual Park Release access cover, which is to the 
lower left of the steering column.
4. The Manual Park Release access cover is connected  to a red tether strap. Pull the tether strap out as far as 
it will go, then release it. The transmission should now 
be in NEUTRAL (N), allowing the vehicle to be moved.
Tether Strap
NOTE:
When the lever is locked in the released position, the 
tether will remain outside of the trim panel and the access 
cover cannot be reinstalled.
5. Release the parking brake only when the vehicle is  securely connected to a tow vehicle.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your 
vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, pull over and 
stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner 
turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal 
range. If the pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine 
off immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver’s seat with your foot 
firmly placed on the brake pedal to maintain control of 
the vehicle before activating the Manual Park Release. 
If possible, you should apply the parking brake. 
Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your 
vehicle to roll away if it is not secured or properly 
connected to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual Park 
Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious 
injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
