WARNING!

Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A

parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not leave the key in the ignition. A
child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

WARNING!

• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury or death when inhaled.

• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or

GETTING STARTED

Panic Alarm

• Press the PANIC button once to turn the panic alarm on.

• Wait approximately three seconds and press the button a second time to turn the
panic alarm off.

THEFT ALARM

To Arm

• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is
open.

To Disarm

• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the ignition to the ON position.

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

CHILD RESTRAINTS

• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seats rather than in the front.

• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be prosecuted
for ignoring it.

WARNING!

• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be badly injured. Any child riding in your vehicle
should be in a proper restraint for the child’s size.

• Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.

9

GETTING STARTED

Installing The LATCH-Compatible Child Restraint System

• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child restraint
anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for
CHildren.

• Child seats with fixed lower attachments must be installed in the outboard
positions only. Child seats with flexible lower attachments can be used in all three
seating positions.

• Never install LATCH-compatible child seats such that two seats share a common
lower anchorage. If you are installing LATCH-compatible child restraints in adjacent
rear seating positions, you can use either the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt
in the outboard seating position, but the center seating position must use the
vehicle seat belt. Always use the top tether anchorage with a forward facing child
seat.

• The rear seat lower anchorages are round
bars, located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. They
are just visible when you lean into the rear
seat to install the child restraint. You will
easily feel them if you run your finger
along the intersection of the seatback and
seat cushion surfaces.

• In addition, there are tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position
located in the panel between the rear seatback and the rear window. These tether
strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can attach
the hook or connector to the lower and tether anchorages more easily.

• Attach the lower hooks or connectors over the top of the seat cover material.

• Then rotate the tether anchorage cover directly behind the seat where you are
placing the child restraint and attach the tether strap to the anchorage, being
careful to route the tether strap to provide the most direct path between the
anchor and the child restraint.

• Tighten all three straps as you push the child restraint rearward and downward into
the seat.

10

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child
restraint.

• 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.

Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts

• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch
plate into the buckle.

• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the belt
to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten the lap
portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with time, so
check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.

• Rotate the cover over the anchor directly behind the seat where you are placing
the child restraint. These tether strap anchorages are under a plastic cover.

• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between the
anchor and the child seat.

• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the anchor and remove slack
in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

11

GETTING STARTED

FRONT SEATS

WARNING!

Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden movement
of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not be properly
adjusted, and you could be injured. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.

Manual Seat Adjustment

Forward/Rearward

• Lift up on the adjusting bar located at the
front of the seat near the floor and release
at the desired position.

Recliner

• Lift the recliner lever located on the
outboard side of the seat, lean back and
release at the desired position.

WARNING!

Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
seriously or even fatally injured. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

12

Lumbar Support

Driver’s Seat Height Adjustment

GETTING STARTED

• The lumbar adjust lever is on the outboard
side of the seatback. Rotate the lumbar
adjust lever downward to increase the
lumbar support or upward to decrease the
lumbar support as desired.

located on the outboard side of the seat.
Raise the lever to raise the seat. Lower the
lever to lower the seat.

CAUTION!

DO NOT place any article under a power seat or impede its ability to move as it
may cause damage to the seat controls. Seat travel may become limited if

• The front passenger seat can be folded
flat. Pull up on the recliner lever to fold
down the seat back.

WARNING!

•

Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.

• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has
been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

CAUTION!

Repeated overheating of the seat could damage the heating element and/or
degrade the material of the seat.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction

Indicator Light

• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously with the
engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this light
remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several
miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we recommend you
do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the
tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
The light also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle’s traction when
starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC
system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off

- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light

• A Tire Pressure Monitoring Light and a “low tire” message will display in your
instrument cluster along with an audible chime if one or more of your vehicle’s four
road tires are significantly under-inflated.

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire and inflate to the recommended pressure
for your vehicle. The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the
“Tire and Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening. The
TPMS light should not be used as a tire pressure gauge when adjusting your tire
pressure.

• It is recommended that you check the tire pressure in the morning when tires are
cool; inflate each tire to the recommended pressure for your vehicle. The light will
turn off after your vehicle’s tire pressures are properly inflated and the pressure
has been recognized. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes
above 15 mph (25 km/h) before the light will turn off.

switch.

40

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• Temperature changes can affect tire pressure, causing the TPMS light to turn on.
Tire pressures will also increase as the vehicle is driven – this is normal and you
should not adjust for this increased pressure.

• Driving on under-inflated tires reduces your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and tire tread
life. If a spare tire is in use on the vehicle, the TPMS light may turn on.

- Engine Temperature Warning Light

• This light warns of an overheated engine condition.

• If the light turns on or flashes continuously while driving, safely pull over and stop
the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may
illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light
stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will
drive normally and not require towing.

• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that
could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

41

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Charging System Light

• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system
light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the
charging system.

• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop
the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.

• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)
system.

• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle
the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.

• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable;
however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is
flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have
the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Transmission Temperature Warning Light

• This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that
might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this light turns on, stop the
vehicle and run the engine at idle, with the transmission in NEUTRAL, until the light
turns off. Once the light turns off, you may continue to drive normally.

- Airbag Warning Light

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we
recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as gASCAP) appears, tighten the gas cap until a
“clicking” sound is heard.

• Press the odometer reset button to turn the message off.

• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the
gas cap, see your authorized dealer.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

• If an “oil change” message (shown as CHAngE OIL) appears and a single chime
sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.

Resetting The Light After Servicing

• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (do not start engine).

• Fully depress the accelerator pedal three times within 10 seconds.

• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by
taking the appropriate action.

• On the highways — slow down.

• In city traffic — while stopped, shift transmission into NEUTRAL, but do not
increase engine idle speed.

NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:

• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the
engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.

• You can also turn the Temperature Control to maximum heat, the Mode Control to
floor and the Fan Control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.

• If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off
immediately.

• We recommend that you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur.
Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature
gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air
conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the
pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off
immediately, and call for service.

43

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

WARNING!

You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam
from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not
open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling
system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

Engine Oil Overheating — 2.4L Gas

• On hot days the engine oil temperature may become too hot during sustained
high-speed driving or if towing a trailer up long grades. If this happens, a HOTOIL
message will flash in the odometer and the vehicle speed will be reduced to
48 mph (77 km/h) maximum until the engine oil temperature is reduced.

NOTE: Although the maximum vehicle speed is reduced to 48 mph (77 km/h), you
may reduce vehicle speed further as needed. Once the engine oil temperature is
reduced, you may continue to drive normally.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING

WARNING!

• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic.
Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when operating the
jack or changing the wheel.

• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the
jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle, take it
to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.

• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not

battery may freeze. Do not attempt jump-starting because the battery could
rupture or explode and cause personal injury. Battery temperature must be
brought above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.

Preparations for Jump-Start

• The battery in your vehicle is located between the left front headlight assembly
and the left front wheel splash shield. To allow jump-starting there are remote
battery posts located on the left side of the engine compartment.

WARNING!

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can
start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving fan blades.

• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an
inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.

• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate
hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks
away from the battery.

• Set the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK and turn the
ignition to LOCK.

• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical accessories.

• Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post. To remove
the cover, press the locking tab and pull upward on the cover.

• If using a another vehicle to jump-start the battery, park the vehicle within the
jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

WARNING! Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal injury could result.

Jump-Starting Procedure

WARNING!

Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property damage
due to battery explosion.

49

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system
of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

• Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of
the discharged vehicle.

• Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post
of the booster battery.

• Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the
booster battery.

• Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative

(-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.

WARNING!

Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery. The
resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in
personal injury.

• Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a
few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:

• Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.

• Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative (-) post of
the booster battery.

• Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the positive (+)
post of the booster battery.

• Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the remote positive (+)
post of the discharged vehicle.

• Reinstall the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post of the
discharged vehicle.

• If frequent jump-starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the
battery and charging system inspected at your authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

Accessories that can be plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from
the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade
battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by a
rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels. Then move the shift lever back and forth between REVERSE and
DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels, is most effective.

NOTE: To improve the vehicle’s traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or
gravel, it may be desirable to switch the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) to “Partial
Off” mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
on ESC, refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD.

WARNING!

Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds
may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not
spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do
not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!

• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between 1st and REVERSE, do not spin
the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.

• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission
overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).

switch. For further information

EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)

• In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to record up to five seconds of
specific vehicle data parameters (see list below) in an event data recorder prior to
the moment of airbag deployment, or near deployment (if applicable), and up to a
quarter second of either high-speed deceleration data or change in velocity during
and/or after airbag deployment or near-deployment. EDR data is ONLY recorded if
an airbag deploys, or nearly deploys, and is otherwise unavailable.

NOTE:

• A near-deployment event occurs when the airbag sensor detects severe vehicle
deceleration usually indicative of a crash, but not severe enough to warrant airbag
deployment.

• Under certain circumstances, EDR data may not be recorded (e.g., loss of battery
power).

52

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

• In conjunction with other data gathered during a complete accident investigation,
the electronic data may be used by Chrysler Group LLC and others to learn more
about the possible causes of crashes and associated injuries in order to assess and
improve vehicle performance. In addition to crash investigations initiated by
Chrysler Group LLC, such investigations may be requested by customers, insurance
carriers, government officials, and professional crash researchers, such as those
associated with universities, and with hospital and insurance organizations.

• In the event that an investigation is undertaken by Chrysler Group LLC (regardless
of initiative), the company or its designated representative will first obtain
permission of the appropriate custodial entity for the vehicle (usually the vehicle
owner or lessee) before accessing the electronic data stored, unless ordered to
image the data by a court with legal jurisdiction (i.e., pursuant to a warrant). A copy
of the data will be provided to the custodial entity upon request. General data that
does not identify particular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorporation
in aggregate crash databases, such as those maintained by the U.S. government
and various states. Data of a potentially sensitive nature, such as would identify a
particular driver, vehicle, or crash, will be treated confidentially. Confidential data
will not be disclosed by Chrysler Group LLC to any third party except when:

• Used for research purposes, such as to match data with a particular crash record
in an aggregate database, provided confidentiality of personal data is thereafter
preserved.

• Used in defense of litigation involving a Chrysler Group LLC product.

• Requested by police under a legal warrant.

• Otherwise required by law.

Data parameters that are recorded:

• Diagnostic trouble code(s) and warning light status for electronically-controlled
safety systems, including the airbag system

• Vehicle speed

• Engine RPM

• Brake switch status

• Pedal position

• And other parameters depending on vehicle configuration

TIRE PRESSURES

• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least monthly
and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.

• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.

NOTE: Refer to the Owner’s Manual on the DVD for more information on the life of
tires.

WARNING!

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. Never overload them.

WARNING!

Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. Under-inflation is
the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe cracking, component
separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock.
Objects on the road and chuck holes can cause damage that results in tire failure.
Unequal tire pressures can cause steering problems. You could lose control of your
vehicle. Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE

• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should
be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.

• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR
equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.

CAUTION!

Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Only MOPAR
recommended.

information that could prevent
accidents, injuries and even deaths.

WARNING!

Death, serious injury and/or
property damage may result from:

• Tire failure due to impact damage
and/or improper maintenance.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Tires should be inspected
regularly by a qualified technician
for signs of damage, such as
punctures, impacts, under­inflation or overloading.

• Progressive air loss may result
from punctures, cuts, curbing,
impacts or partial bead unseating.

Some fitment causes for air loss
are:

• Incomplete bead seating.

• Bead tearing caused by a machine
tool due to insufficient lubrication
or improper adjustment.

• Leaking valve core or rubber valve
components (these should be
replaced when problems are
detected and whenever tires are
replaced).

• Tire failure due to improper
repairs.

• See Rubber Manufacturer’s
Association (RMA) established
repair procedures at www.rma.org

• Explosion of tire/rim assembly due
to improper mounting.

• Only specially trained persons
should mount tires.

• Failure to mount tires on approved
rims.

• Failure to deflate single or dual
assemblies completely before
demounting.

68

CONSUMER ASSISTANCE

Using Lift Kits

• Use of lift kits with some vehicle/tire
combinations can cause instability or
loss of control. When changing tire
sizes, always consult an installer for
optimum rim width and carefully
check vehicle/tire clearances.

Check Your Tires For Damage

• Frequent (at least monthly)
inspection of your tires for signs of
damage, uneven tread wear and
their general condition is important
for safety. Impacts, penetrations,
cracks, knots, bulges or air loss
always require tire removal and
expert inspection.

Tire Service Life

• The service life of a tire is dependent
upon varying factors including, but
not limited to, your driving style, tire
pressure and distance driven.

WARNING!

Tires and the spare tire should be
replaced after six years, regardless
of the remaining tread. Failure to
follow this warning can result in
sudden tire failure. You could lose
control and have an accident
resulting in serious injury or death.

• Keep dismounted tires in a cool, dry
