ADJUSTABLE POWER LIFTGATE HEIGHT
The maximum height that the liftgate will open can
be adjusted and saved so that the liftgate will only
open to the desired height. To set a desired height,
proceed as follows:

1. Open the liftgate fully, then manually pull
down on the liftgate to the desired height.

2. Push and hold the liftgate close button, located on the left side trim panel inside the
cargo area, for three seconds. An audible
chime will be emitted to let you know the
height has been saved.
To set the saved height setting to a new setting,
proceed as follows:

1. Open the liftgate, then manually push the liftgate upward to its full open position.

2. Manually pull the liftgate down to the new desired height and hold the liftgate close
button for three seconds until the audible
chime is emitted. Power Liftgate Malfunction Procedure:

1. In the event of a power malfunction to the
liftgate, the liftgate can be released by
accessing the service release feature in the
latch. This can be done using a 3 mm
diameter screwdriver.

Liftgate Service Release

2. From inside the gate, an eyelet can be seen. Place the screwdriver in the eyelet.
3. Rotate the screwdriver handle to actuate the lever and release the latch.
4. If liftgate is left open for an extended period of time, the liftgate may need to be closed
manually to reset power liftgate functionality.
HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE — IF EQUIPPED

Hands-Free Liftgate Activation Zone
To open or close the liftgate using hands-free
activation, use a straight in and out kicking motion
under the vehicle activation zone in the general
location below the rear license plate. The activation
zone is about 1.8 ft (0.5 m) from side to side. Do not
move your foot sideways or in a sweeping motion or
the sensors may not detect the motion.

NOTE:The activation zone is the same for vehicles
equipped with or without a trailer tow package.
When a valid kicking motion is completed, the
liftgate will chime, the hazard lights will flash and
the liftgate will open after approximately one
second, or close after approximately three
seconds. These settings can be enabled or
disabled through Uconnect Settings Ú page 204.

To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments,
located at the upper edge of each crossbar,
approximately eight turns using the anti-theft
wrench provided with the Mopar® crossbars.
Then, move the crossbar to the desired position,
keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame.
Once the crossbar is in the desired position,
retighten with the wrench to lock the crossbar into
position.
NOTE:If any cargo (or any metallic object) is placed over
the satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you may
experience interruption of satellite radio reception.
For improved satellite radio reception, place the
rear crossbar in the forward of the two rear
crossbar positions.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving
your vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off
the vehicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting
in personal injury or property damage. Follow
the roof rack cautions when carrying cargo on
your roof rack.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle,
do not carry any loads on the roof rack without
the crossbars installed. The load should be
secured and placed on top of the crossbars,
not directly on the roof. If it is necessary to
place the load on the roof, place a blanket or
some other protection between the load and
the roof surface.
To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle,
do not exceed the maximum roof rack load
capacity of 150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute
heavy loads as evenly as possible and secure
the load appropriately.
Long loads which extend over the windshield,
such as wood panels or surfboards, or loads
with large frontal area should be secured to
both the front and rear of the vehicle.
Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to natural
causes or nearby truck traffic, can add sudden
upward lift to a load. This is especially true on
large flat loads and may result in damage to
the cargo or your vehicle.
The use of vehicle systems that would adjust
the ride heights (such as Selec-Terrain modes
Rock or Sand/Mud) is not recommended
when using the Roof Luggage Rack to carry a
load.
CAUTION!

ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD
R
EDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED
This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery
Sensor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of
the electrical system and status of the vehicle
battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system
failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are
deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions will
take place to extend the driving time and distance
of the vehicle. This is done by reducing power to or
turning off non-essential electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is
running. It will display a message if there is a risk
of battery depletion to the point where the vehicle
may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not
restart after the current drive cycle.

also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping
ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure,
even if underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS
malfunction indicator to indicate when the system
is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction
indicator is combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction,
the telltale will flash for approximately one minute
and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When
the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may
occur for a variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the
replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS to continue to function properly.
YELLOW INDICATOR LIGHTS
4WD Low Indicator Light — If Equipped
This light alerts the driver that the vehicle
is in the 4WD Low mode. The front and
rear driveshafts are mechanically locked
together forcing the front and rear
wheels to rotate at the same speed. Low range
provides a greater gear reduction ratio to provide
increased torque at the wheels Ú page 131.
Air Suspension Active Indicator Light —
If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the air
suspension system is actively adjusting
the ride height Úpage 136.
Air Suspension Aerodynamic Height
Indicator Light— If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the air
suspension system is set to the
Aerodynamic setting Ú page 136.
Air Suspension Entry/Exit Indicator Light—
If Equipped
This light will illuminate when the vehicle
is automatically lowered from ride height
position downward for easy entry and exit
of the vehicle.

Air Suspension Off-Road 1 Indicator Light —
If Equipped

This light will illuminate when the air
suspension system is set to the Off-Road
1 setting Úpage 136.

Air Suspension Off-Road 2 Indicator Light —
If Equipped

This light will illuminate when the air
suspension system is set to the Off-Road
2 setting Úpage 136.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures
and warning have been established for the tire
size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable
system operation or sensor damage may result
when using replacement equipment that is not
of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to
become inoperable. After using an aftermarket
tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your
sensor function checked.
