A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your vehicle are double-sided. Y ou can insert the keys into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your authorized dealer to give you the number .
W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to r emove the key . NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position.
If the V ehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec- onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electr onics. Should this occur , have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer .
procedur e. This procedur e consists of programming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer .
Repeat this procedur e to program up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed Sentry Key 威 , contact your authorized dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tem’s memory .

Personal Settings (Customer-Pr ogrammable Features)” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further in- formation. W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches.
Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection — If Equipped On some models, the driver’s and front passenger’s (if equipped for passenger side) power window switches have an “Auto Up” feature. Pull the window switch up to the second detent, release, and the window will go up automatically .
W ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing. Reset At some point in time, it may be necessary to reactivate the auto-up feature. T o do so, perform the following procedur e: 1.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions • Advanced Front Airbags .
NOTE: The Advanced Fr ont Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. 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.
collision the belt will lock and reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. W ARNING! • It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is located on the B-Pillar along the outboard side and r ear of the seat cushion.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The r etractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to cr eate a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
NOTE: The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This featur e allows the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted in the upward position without pressing the r elease button. T o verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked into position.
If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupants mid-section so as to not activate the ALR. If the ALR is activated you will hear a ratcheting sound as the belt retracts.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR) These head restraints ar e passive, deployable compo- nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspec- tion of the head restraint.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a collision.
1. Grasp the deployed AHR fr om the rear seat. 2. Position the hands on the top of the deployed AHR at a comfortable position. 3. Pull down then rearward towards the r ear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism.
4. The AHR fr ont soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems resetting the Active Head Restraints, see an authorized dealer . • For safety reasons, have the Active Head Restraints checked by a qualified specialist at an authorized dealer .
Energy Management Feature This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature in the fr ont seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on collision. This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to release webbing in a contr olled manner .
BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position. The manufacturer does not r ecom- mend deactivating BeltAlert 威 .
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on the severity and type of collision.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) that run the entir e length of the headliner to protect the driver , front, and rear pas- sengers sitting next to a window . NOTE: • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) • Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pr etensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, and Seat T rack Position Sensors • Supplementa.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the Advanced Front Airbag covers or attempt to manually open them.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) SABIC airbags may offer side-impact and vehicle r ollover protection to fr ont and rear seat outboar d occupants in addition to that provided by the body str ucture.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If your vehicle is equipped with SABIC airbags, do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for instal- lation on the vehicle roof.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a r ear facing child seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible and use the proper child r estraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you are using it pr operly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air- bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
Advanced Front Airbags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that pr oduce a severe initial deceleration. The SABIC will not deploy in all side collisions.
W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have an authorized dealer service the airbag system immediately .
• W eight Sensors Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM.
For all other occupants, the P AD indicator light will be illuminated indicating that the passenger Advanced Front Airbag is turned off and will not inflate.
not properly classify the occupant. Objects lodged under the seat or between the seat and the center console can prevent the occupant’s weight fr om being measured properly and may r esult in the occupant being improp- erly classified.
Driver and Passenger Advanced Front Airbag Inflator Units The Driver and Passenger Advanced Front Airbag In- flator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the Advanced Front Airbags, it signals the inflator units.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
The following requir ements must be strictly adhered to: • Do not modify the front passenger seat assembly or components in any way . • Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle.
Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the natur e of the event the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the follow- ing functions: • Cut off fuel to the engine.
• As the airbags deflate you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water .
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbag system ready to inflate for your protection in an impact. The airbag warning light monitors the internal circuits and inter connecting wiring associated with airbag system electrical compo- nents.
Chrysler Group LLC, such investigations may be r e- quested by customers, insurance carriers, government officials, and pr ofessional crash resear chers, such as those associated with universities, and with hospital and insur- ance organizations.
• V ehicle speed • Engine RPM • Brake switch status • Pedal position • And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration Child Restraints Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time including babies and children.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride rearwar d-facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used: r earward-facing infant carriers and “convertible” child seats.
Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable safety standards. Chrysler Gr oup LLC also recommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.
buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out.
with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat. The child and belt- positioning booster seat are held in the vehicle by the lap/shoulder belt.
belts. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the top tether anchorages, have been available for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr o-fit kits.
The rear seat lower anchorages ar e round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion wher e it meets the seatback, and are just visible when you lean into the r ear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces.
means of adjusting the tension in the strap. Forward- facing toddler restraints and some r ear-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap.
belt. However , any seat belt system may loosen with time, so check the belt occasionally and pull it tight if necessary . Pull the belt from the r etractor until there is enough to allow it to pass through the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDA TIONS A long break-in period is not r equired for the engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in your vehicle. Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seri- ously injured or killed. • Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
If you are r equired to drive with the tr unk/liftgate open, make sure that all windows ar e closed and the climate control BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT use the recir culation mode. The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
Defroster Check operation by selecting the defrost mode and place the blower control on high speed. Y ou should be able to feel the air directed against the windshield. See your authorized dealer for service if your defroster is inoperable. Floor Mat Safety Information Always use floor mats designed to fit the foot well of your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Check mounting of mats on a regular basis. Al- ways properly reinstall and secure floor mats that have been removed for cleaning. • Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is moving.
Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks. Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel, power steering fluid, or brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should be located and corrected immediately .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F or –29°C) T o ensure reliable starting at these temperatur es, the use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from your authorized dealer) is r ecommended.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded thr ee-wire extension cor d.
W ARNING! • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in REVERSE. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock Manual Override Y our vehicle may be equipped with a shift lock manual override. The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from P ARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal pressed.
Four–Speed Automatic T ransmission – 3.7L Engine NOTE: Under extreme cold temperatur es (-10°F (-23°C) and when in DRIVE, transmission operation may be briefly limited to only second gear operation. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the shift lever in the P ARK position.
NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage. Refer to “Recr eational T ow- ing” in “Starting and Operating” and “T owing a Disabled V ehicle” in “What T o Do In Emergencies” for further information.
overheating or failur e due to excessive shifting. When operating in TOW/HAUL mode, the transmission will shift into third gear . NOTE: The TOW/HAUL mode locks out Overdrive. The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated.
4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then r estart the en- gine. 5. Move the shift lever to the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. If the pr oblem persists, P ARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to oper - ate.
Gear Ranges NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. If there is a need to r estart the engine, be sure to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting.
NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage.
Overdrive Operation The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled fifth gear (OVERDRIVE). The trans- mission will automatically shift from fourth gear to OVERDRIVE if t.
T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the shift lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn the engine off and turn the key to the LOCK position. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then r estart the en- gine.
• If the vehicle has not been driven in several days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the trans- mission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to the fluid partially draining from the tor que converter into the transmission. This condition is normal and will not cause damage to the transmission.
The electronically shifted transfer case is designed to be driven in the two-wheel drive position (2WD) for normal street and highway conditions (dry har d surfaced roads).
Shifting Procedure – Electronically Shifted T ransfer Case NOTE: If any of the requir ements to select a new transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case will not shift. The “4WD Indicator Light” (located in the display under the tachometer) will flash until all the requir ements for the selected position have been met.
characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars. An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road, allowing you to anticipate pr oblems.
drive through water , try to determine the depth and the bottom condition (and location of any obstacles) prior to entering. Proceed with caution and maintain a steady controlled speed less than 5 mph (8 km/h) in deep water to minimize wave effects.
lower gear than necessary to maintain headway . Over- revving the engine can spin the wheels and traction will be lost. A void abrupt downshifts on icy or slippery roads, be- cause engine braking may cause skidding and loss of control.
T raction Downhill Shift the transmission into a low gear and the transfer case to 4L or 4LO range. Let the vehicle go slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning against engine compression drag. This will permit you to contr ol the vehicle speed and direction.
W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent an accident. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary .
W ARNING! Continued operation with reduced power steering assist could pose a safety risk to yourself and others. Service should be obtained as soon as possible. CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information. P ARKING BRAKE Before leaving the vehicle, make sur e that the parking brake is fully applied.
NOTE: • When the parking brake is applied and the transmis- sion is placed in gear , the “Brake W arning Light” will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver . Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also, be certain to leave the transmission in P ARK. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
The ABS pump motor runs during the self-test at 12 mph (20 km/h) and during an ABS stop. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation, which is normal. W ARNING! • Pumping of the Anti-Lock Brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
NOTE: During severe braking conditions, a pulsing sensation may occur and a clicking noise will be heard. This is normal, indicating that the ABS is functioning.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) This system aids the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system controls hydraulic brake pressur e to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces during braking.
T raction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to pr ovide enhanced acceleration and stability .
W ARNING! The Brake Assist System (BAS) cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded by prevailing road conditions. BAS cannot prevent accidents, in- cluding those resulting from excessive speed in turns, driving on very slippery surfaces, or hydro- planing.
W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur . ERM cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
ESP/TCS Indicator Light The ⬙ ESP/TCS Indicator Light ⬙ located in the instrument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESP system becomes active.
ESP On This is the normal operating mode for ESP in 2WD, 4WD Part T ime, 4WD Full T ime, and on 2WD vehicles. When- ever the vehicle is started, the ESP system will be in this mode. This mode should be used for most all driving situations. ESP should only be turned of f for specific reasons as noted below .
requiring ESP to be switched to the “Partial Off” mode is overcome, turn ESP back on by briefly pressing the ESP OFF switch. This may be done while the vehicle is in motion. ESP/BAS W arning Lamp The malfunction indicator lamp for the ESP is combined with BAS.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.
T ires designed to this standard have the letter “T” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: T145/80D18 103M. • High flotation tire sizing is based on U.S. design standards and it begins with the tir e diameter molded into the sidewall.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index — A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry H = Speed Symbol — A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can ca.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire, however , the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN, including the date code, located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire T erminology and Definitions T erm Definition B-Pillar The vehicle B-Pillar is a structural member of the body located between the front and r ear door (of a four-door vehicle) r unning from the sill to the r oof.

Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs (635 kg) and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg) passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) (since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs [295 kg]).
5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 337.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage it. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always cold tire inflation pr essure.
Tire Pressures For High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck, and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel no matter what the speed.
CAUTION! Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles de- pends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case. T ire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear .
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pressur e. The manu- facturer str ongly recommends that you use tir es equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug- gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacturer .
CAUTION! Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles de- pends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case. T ire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear .
when the outside temperature decr eases, the tire pr essure will decrease. T ire pr essure should always be set based on cold inflation tire pr essure. This is defined as the tir e pressur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placard pr essure of 33 psi (227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pressur e is 28 psi (193 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decrease the tir e pressur e to approximately 24 psi (165 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e care and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essure gauge while adjusting your tire pr essure. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tire failur e.
The matching full-size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor . The matching full-size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es. The TPMS will only monitor the pressur e in the full-size spare when it is used in place of a r oad tire.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. 4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors. V ehicles with Full-Size Spare 1. The matching full-size spare wheel and tire assembly has a tire pr essure monitoring sensor that can be moni- tored by the TPMS.
T elltale Light” will turn off, as long as no tire pr essure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pr essure is low in one or more of the four active r oad tires.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
turn on upon the next ignition key cycle. In addition, the EVIC will display a Low Pressur e message and a graphic showing the low tire pr essure value flashing.
5. Once you repair or replace the original r oad tire and reinstall it on the vehicle in place of the compact spar e, the TPMS will update automatically .
4.0L Engine The 4.0L engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and pr ovide satisfac- tory fuel economy and performance when using high quality unleaded gasoline hav- ing an octane range of 87 to 89. The manu- facturer r ecommends the use of 89 octane for optimum performance.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with oxy- genates such as 10% ethanol, MTBE, and ETBE. Oxygen- ates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions. Fuels blended with these oxygenates may be used in your vehicle.
• disconnect and reconnect the battery to r eset the engine controller memory More extensive r epairs will be requir ed for prolonged exposure to E-85 fuel. MMT In Gasoline MMT is a manganese containing metallic additive that is blended into some gasoline to increase octane.
Fuel System Cautions CAUTION! Follow these guidelines to maintain your vehicle’s performance: • The use of leaded gas is prohibited by Federal law .
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
ADDING FUEL Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler door , on the driver’s side of the vehicle. If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap has been designed for use with this vehicle.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and will cause the MIL to turn on.

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options or authorized dealer-installed options must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements – T ires − Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tir e. − Proper tir e inflation pressur es are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires – General Information” in “Starting and Oper- ating” for proper tir e inflation procedur es.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle, but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
T owing Tips Before setting out on a trip, practice turning, stopping and backing up the trailer in an area away fr om heavy traffic.

REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine MOP AR 威 parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly r ecommended to en- sure the designed performance. Damage or failur es caused by the use of non-MOP AR 威 parts for maintenance and repairs will not be cover ed by the manufacturer’s warranty .
CAUTION! • Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or per- form repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle perfor- mance. Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an authorized Chrysler Group LLC dealership or qualified repair center .
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Engine Oil V iscosity – 3.7L Engine SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperature starting and vehicle fuel economy . Y our engine oil filler cap shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
station, or governmental agency for advice on how and where used oil and oil filters can be safely discar ded in your area. Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at every engine oil change. NOTE: For best access to the oil filter , a drive on hoist should be used instead of a chassis hoist (3.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters varies considerably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most ef ficient service. MOP AR 威 engine air cleaner filters are a high quality filter and ar e recommended.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and are identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
hood latching components to ensure pr oper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
W ARNING! Commercial windshield washer solvents are flam- mable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
CAUTION! • The catalytic converter requires the use of un- leaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions con- trol device and may seriously reduce engine per- formance and cause serious damage to the engine.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition, when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
garden hose vertically down the face of the A/C con- denser (if equipped) or the back of the radiator core. Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the coolant recovery bottle and radiator .
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than the specified HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) may result in decreased corrosion protection and engine damage.
Please review these r ecommendations for using Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze). When adding engine coolant (antifr eeze): • The manufacturer r ecommends using MOP AR 威 Antifreeze/Coolant 5 Y ear/100,000 Mile Formula HOA T (Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology) or equivalent.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for engine coolant (antifreeze) fr eeze point or replacing the engine coolant (antifreeze).
• Make sure that the radiator and coolant r ecovery bottle hoses are not kinked or obstr ucted. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean, also. • Do not change the thermostat for Summer or W inter operation.
should be checked when pads are r eplaced. However , low fluid level may be caused by a leak and a checkup may be needed. Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended brake fluid. Re- fer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Main- taining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not allow petroleum based fluid to contami- nate the brake fluid. Brake seal components could be damaged, causing partial or complete brake failure. This could result in an accident. Automatic T ransmission Fluid Level Check Y our vehicle is equipped with a capped transmission oil fill tube.
Special Additives The manufacturer str ongly recommends against the ad- dition of any additives to the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers should be avoided as they may adversely affect seals.
Draining Fluid First remove the fill plug (1), then the drain plug (2). Recommended tightening torque for the drain and fill plugs is 15–25 ft lbs (20–34 N·m). CAUTION! Do not over-tighten the plugs. Y ou could damage them and cause a leak. Lubricant Selection Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended fluid.
Adding Fluid Add lubricant only at the fill hole and only to the level specified above. Selection of Lubricant Use only manufacturer’s r ecommended fluid. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
