ENGINE START/STOP Button Functions— With
Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal (In PARK Or
NEUTRAL Position)
The ENGINE START/STOP button operates similar
to anignition switch. Ithas three positions,OFF, ACC,
and RUN. To change the ignition positions without

these steps:
• Starting with the ignition in the OFF position
• Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to
place the ignition in the ACC position (instrument
cluster will display “ACC”)
• Push theENGINE START/STOP button a second
time to place the ignition in the RUN position
(instrument cluster will display “ON/RUN”)
• Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a third
time to return the ignition to the OFF position
(instrument cluster will display “OFF”)
To Turn Off The Vehicle Using ENGINE
START/STOP Button
1. Place the gear selector in PARK, then push and
release the ENGINE START/STOP button.
2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position.
3. If the gear selector is not in PARK, the ENGINE
START/STOP button must be held for two seconds, or pushed three short times in a row, with the
vehicle speed above 5 mph (8 km/h) before the
engine will shut off. The ignitionswitch position will
remain in the ACC position until the gear selector
is in PARK and the button is pushed twice to the
OFF position. If the gear selector is not in PARK
and the ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed
once, the instrument cluster display will display a
“Vehicle Not In Park” message and the engine will
remain running. Never leave a vehicle out of the
PARK position, or it couldroll. The vehiclewill also
remain in propulsion system active mode.
If the outsideambient temperature is32°F (0°C)
or below, the instrument cluster will request the
vehicle to be plugged to provide conditioning of
the vehicle.
Automatic Shutdown
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in READY mode (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour
after thedriver exits, thisfeature will automatically turn
the vehicleoff. Notificationshave been addedinto this
feature to raise awareness of the timed event:
• In the interior of the vehicle, the instrument cluster
will display “ReadyTo Drive”, and will be accompanied by three audible chimes while exiting. These
interior warnings will occur regardless of whether
the key fob remains in the vehicle or is removed.
• For the exterior of the vehicle, the horn will sound
three times if the fob is removed from the vehicle
and the vehicle is in the “READY” mode.
Please considerthis feature when intentionallyrunning
the vehicle for extended periods of time over one
hour. To restart the vehicle, follow the normal vehicle
starting process.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not
running) position andthe transmission isin PARK, the
system willautomatically time out(shut down)after an
initial 60 minutes of inactivity, followed by the additional amount of time for power accessory delay selected in the radio settings menu. Once the vehicle
times out, it will switch to the OFF position.
For further information, and applicable warnings and
cautions, please refer to your Owner’s Manual at
www.chrysler.com/en/owners/manuals.
SafeHold — Electric Park Brake
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric Park Brake
System thatwill engagethe park brakeautomatically if
the vehicleis leftunsecured. If theautomatic transmission is not in PARK, the seat belt is unbuckled, the
driver door is open, the vehicle is at a standstill, and
there is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal, the park brake will automatically
engage to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
SafeHold canbe temporarilybypassed bypushing the
Electric Park Brake Switchwhile the driverdoor is open
and brake pedal is pressed. Once manually bypassed,
SafeHold will be enabled again once the vehicle
reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled to
the OFF position and back to ON again.
Your vehiclehas alsobeen equipped withan automatic
hill parking grade feature. If the vehicle is placed in
park on moderate to steep grade, the electric park
brake has been designed to automatically apply when
necessary. When this occurs, a message will display in
the cluster, and the “BRAKE” lamp and parking brake
selector button will illuminate to indicate activation.
The electric parking brake will automatically release
when shifting out of park if your seatbelt is buckled.
Additionally, the driver will always have the ability to
manually releasethe electric parking brake bypressing
the selector button on the console.

SAE J1772 Charging Inlet
Your vehicle uses an industry standard SAE
J1772 charge inlet (vehicle charge inlet) for both AC
Level 1 (120V) and AC Level 2 (240V) charging.
Vehicle Charge Inlet
AC Level 1 Charging (120V, 15 Amp)
Your vehicle is equipped with a 120 Volt AC, SAE
J1772 Level 1 Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
(EVSE), also referred to as a Charging Cordset. AC
Level 1 charging requires a conventional NEMA
5-15 120 Volt AC grounded wall receptacle along with
the Charging Cordset provided with the vehicle.
Charging Cordset
To access theCharging Cordset, open thedoor of the
cargo area storage bin, on the driver’s side, and remove the Charging Cordset from the storage bag.
NOTE:
The Charging Cordsetis usedfor AC Level 1charging
only.
For the full procedure on how to charge your vehicle,
using AC Level 1 Charging, and further information
on theEVSE Charging Cordset, referto yourOwner’s
Manual at www.chrysler.com/en/owners/manuals.
VEHICLE CHARGE INDICATORS
AC Level 2 Charging (240V, 30 Amp)
AC Level 2 (240V) charging requires a 240V, Level
2 EVSE (Charging station). A 30A Level 2 EVSE for
home installation is recommended.
When using public charging stations, ensure the
charging station is ready to provide charge and the
vehicle is in PARK before the charge connector is
plugged into the vehicle’s charge inlet. You will hear a
“click” when the charge connector is insertedcorrectly
and is coupled with the vehicle’s charge inlet. The
vehicle should start charging automatically. If not,
please check the instructions at the charging station.
For the full procedure on how to charge your vehicle,
using AC Level 2 Charging, and further information
on the EVSE Charging Station, refer to your Owner’s
Manual at www.chrysler.com/en/owners/manuals.
It is recommended to turn the charger off before
removing the cord by pressing the "Stop" button.
Charging Times
Type of EVSE Estimated Charge Time
Level 1 (120V/15A) Approximately 14 hours
Level 2 (240V/30A) Approximately 2 hours
For further information on charging times, refer to your
Owner’s Manualat www.chrysler.com/en/owners/manuals
