DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk 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 rideshare, a friend, or use public
transportation.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident and personal injury.
FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when \
using any device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices,
such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigat\
ion or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious
accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while th\
e vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation,
pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states \
or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s
responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Dodg\
e brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For add\
itional information, visit mopar.com/om (U.S.), owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Dodge brand dealer.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judg\
ment is impaired when you have been
drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway \
motor vehicle can expose you to
chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lea\
d, 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 exc\
ept
as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash\
your hands frequently when servicing your
vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10
seconds.
The parking lights will turn on and remain on
during Remote Start mode.
For security, power window and sunroof (if
equipped) operation is disabled when the
vehicle is in the Remote Start mode.
The ignition must be placed in the ON/RUN posi
-
tion before the Remote Start sequence can be
repeated for a third cycle.
All of the following conditions must be met before
the engine will remote start:
Gear selector in PARK
Doors closed
Hood closed
Liftgate closed
Hazard switch off

carbon monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and
can cause serious injury or death when
inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

3. Push and hold the HomeLink® button you
want to program while you push and hold the
garage door opener transmitter button you are
trying to replicate.
4. Continue to hold both buttons and observe the HomeLink® indicator light. The HomeLink®
indicator light will flash slowly and then rapidly.
Once this happens, release both buttons.
NOTE:Make sure the garage door opener motor is
plugged in before moving on to the rolling code/
non-rolling code final steps.
Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps
NOTE:You have 30 seconds in which to initiate rolling
code final step 2, after completing rolling code
final step 1.

1. At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “LEARN” or “TRAIN”
button. This can usually be found where the
hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.
2. Return to the vehicle and push the
programmed HomeLink® button three times
(holding the button for two seconds each
time). If the garage door opener motor
operates, programming is complete.
3. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm that the garage door opener motor
operates. If the garage door opener motor
does not operate, repeat the final steps for the
rolling code procedure.
Non-Rolling Code Garage Door Opener Final Steps

1. Push and hold the programmed HomeLink® button and observe the HomeLink® indicator
light. If the HomeLink® indicator light stays
on constantly, programming is complete.

2. Push the programmed HomeLink® button to confirm that the garage door opener motor
operates. If the garage door opener motor
does not operate, repeat the steps from the
beginning.
PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A
M
ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE
The procedure on how to program HomeLink® to a
miscellaneous device follows the same procedure
as programming to a garage door opener
Ú page 42. Be sure to determine if the device has
a rolling code, or non-rolling code before beginning
the programming process.
NOTE:Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require trans -
mitter signals to time-out (or quit) after several
seconds of transmission, which may not be long
enough for HomeLink® to pick up the signal during
programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some
U.S. gate operators are designed to time-out in the
same manner. The procedure may need to be
performed multiple times to successfully pair the
device to your HomeLink® buttons.
WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close
while you are programming the universal trans -
mitter. Do not program the transmitter if people
or pets are in the path of the door or gate.

Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage or
confined area while programming the trans -
mitter. Exhaust gas from your vehicle contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon monoxide is poisonous
when inhaled and can cause you and others to
be severely injured or killed.
WARNING!

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
If you are having trouble programming
HomeLink®, here are some of the most common
solutions:
Replace the battery in the garage door opener
hand-held transmitter.
Push the LEARN button on the garage door
opener to complete the training for a rolling
code.
Did you unplug the device for programming and
remember to plug it back in?
