Refueling

Do not use fuel containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and driving issues, as well as damage vital components of the supply system.
For further details on the use of the correct fuel, see "Fuel Requirements" in the "Technical Specifications".

Starting The Engine

Make sure that the electric park brake is engaged and that the transmission is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N). Next, press the brake pedal, and then push the engine START/STOP button.

Parking On Flammable Material

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on potential fire hazards such as: grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flammable material.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

Respecting The Environment

The vehicle is fitted with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to help protect the environment.

Electrical Accessories

If you decide to add electrical accessories after purchasing the vehicle, (with the risk of gradually draining the battery), contact an authorized dealer. They can calculate the overall electrical requirement and check that the vehicle's electric system can support the required load.

Scheduled Servicing

Correctly performed maintenance procedures are essential for ensuring that your vehicle continuously maintains its quality in perfor­mance and safety features, environmental friendliness, and low running costs.

Accessories Purchased By The Owner

WARNING!
Any change or alteration of the vehicle might seriously affect its safety and road handling, thus causing accidents, in which the occupants could even be fatally injured.
If you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accessories that in any case drain the electrical supply after purchasing the vehicle, contact an authorized dealer. Dealer personnel will check whether the vehicle's electrical system is able to withstand the load required or whether it needs to be integrated with a more powerful battery.
NOTE: Use caution when adding additional spoilers, alloy wheel rims, or non-standard wheel hubs: they could reduce the ventilation of the brakes and affect efficiency under sharp and repeated braking, or on long descents. Make sure that nothing obstructs the pedals (mats, etc.).
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

Installing Electrical/Electronic Devices

FCA US LLC authorizes the installation of transceivers provided that installation is carried out at a specialized center, in compliance with manufac­turer's specifications.
NOTE: Local authorities may not allow the vehicle on the road if devices that modify the features of the vehicle have been installed. This also may void the warranty in relation to faults caused by the change either directly or indirectly related to it.
FCA US LLC shall not be liable for damage caused by the installation of accessories either not supplied or recommended by FCA US LLC and/or not

installed in compliance with the provided instructions.

Radio Transmitters And Mobile Phones

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB (Citizen Band) radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a sepa­rate antenna is mounted externally.
Transmission and reception of these devices may be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of approved mobile phones is concerned, follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.
CAUTION!
The use of these devices inside the passenger compartment (without an external antenna) may cause the electrical systems to malfunction.
This could compromise the safety of the vehicle in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passengers' health.
If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/tablets are inside the vehicle and/or close to the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Passive
Entry/Keyless Start system may occur may occur.

ENGINE IMMOBILIZER

Engine Immobilizer Operation

The Engine Immobilizer system prevents unau­thorized use of the vehicle by disabling engine starting.
The system does not need to be enabled or activated. Operation of the immobilizer is auto­matic whether the vehicle's doors are locked or unlocked.
When the ignition is placed in the ACC posi­tion, the Engine Immobilizer system identifies the code transmitted by the key. If the code is recognized as valid, the Engine Immobilizer system enables engine starting.
When the ignition is brought back to OFF, the Engine Immobilizer system deactivates the control unit controlling the engine, disabling engine starting.
For the correct engine starting procedures, refer to “Starting The Engine” in “Starting And Operating.”
Irregular Operation
If the key code is not recognized during starting, the Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt
icon is displayed on the instrument panel. Refer to "Warning Lights And Messages" in "Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel". This condition leads to the
engine turning off after two seconds. In this case, cycle the ignition to the OFF position, and then to ACC; if it is still blocked, try with the other keys provided. If it is still not possible to start the engine, contact an authorized dealer.
If the Engine Immobilizer Failure/Break-in Attempt icon is displayed while driving, this
means that the system is running a self-diag­nosis (e.g. due to a voltage drop). If the display persists, contact an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
Do not tamper with the Engine Immobilizer
system. Any modifications or alterations could cause the protection function to be deactivated.
The Engine Immobilizer system is not compat-
ible with certain aftermarket remote starting systems. The use of these devices could cause problems when starting, as well as the deactivation of the protection function.
All keys provided with the vehicle have been
programmed in accordance with the elec­tronics on the vehicle itself.
Each key has its own code which must be
stored by the system's control unit. Contact an authorized dealer to have new keys (up to eight) stored with a code.

SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

Alarm Activation

While armed, the alarm will sound in the following scenarios:
Opening of doors/hood/trunk lid (perimeter
protection)
Operation of ignition with a key which is not
validated
