INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Dodge vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and perform tasks that are not intended for conventional passenger vehicles. It handles and
maneuvers differently from many passenger vehicles both on-road and off-road, so take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped, the
two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed for on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving or use in other severe conditions suited
for a four-wheel drive vehicle. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owner’s Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,
particularly those used for braking, steering, transmission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles on different road surfaces. Your
driving skills will improve with experience. When driving off-road, or working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the vehicle to overcome
the natural laws of physics. Always observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or a collision Ú page 171.

This Owner's Manual has been prepared with the assistance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance
of your vehicle. It is supplemented by customer-oriented documents. Within this information, you will find a description of the services that FCA US LLC
offers to its customers as well as the details of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity. Please take the time to read all of these publications
carefully before driving your vehicle for the first time. Following the instructions, recommendations, tips, and important warnings in this manual will help
ensure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

This Owner's Manual describes all versions of this vehicle. Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not expressly indicated
in the text. Therefore, you should only consider the information that is related to the trim level, engine, and version that you have purchased. Any content
introduced throughout the Owner's Information, which may or may not be applicable to your vehicle, will be identified with the wording "If Equipped". All
data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA US LLC aims at a constant improvement of
the vehicles produced. For this reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial reasons. For
further information, contact an authorized dealer.

When it comes to service, remember that authorized dealers know your Dodge best, have factory-trained technicians, genuine Mopar® parts, and care
about your satisfaction.

Supplementary and relevant information
pertaining to the topic.

If you do not read this entire Owner’s Manual, you may miss important
information. Observe all Cautions and Warnings.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types
of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher
center of gravity than many passenger vehicles. It is capable of
performing better in a wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an
unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the higher
center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control, it may roll over while
some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other unsafe driving
actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this
vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe
or fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

1

10

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a major
cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US government notes that the
universal use of existing seat belts could cut the highway death toll by
10,000 or more each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two
million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly
more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS

WARNING!

Any modifications or alterations to this vehicle could seriously affect its
roadworthiness and safety and may lead to a collision resulting in
serious injury or death.

KEYS

KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which
supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE), Keyless Enter ‘n Go (if equipped),
Remote Start (if equipped), and remote power
liftgate operation. The key fob allows you to lock
or unlock the doors and liftgate from distances
up to approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob
does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to
activate the system. The key fob also contains
an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of
the key fob.

NOTE:

 The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked

if the key fob is located next to a mobile
phone, laptop, or other electronic device.
This may result in poor performance.

 With ignition in the ON position and the

vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE
commands are disabled.

Key Fob

1 — Unlock
2 — Liftgate
3 — Emergency Key
4 — Lock
5 — Remote Start
6 — PANIC

In case the ignition switch does not change with
the push of a button, the key fob may have a low
or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery
can be verified by referring to the instrument
cluster, which will display directions to follow
Ú page 357.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the unlock button on the key
fob once to unlock the driver’s door, or twice
within five seconds to unlock all the doors and
the liftgate. To lock all the doors and the liftgate,
push the lock button once.

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals
will flash and the illuminated entry system will
be activated. When the doors are locked, the
turn signals will flash and the horn will chirp.

 Keep new and used batteries away from

children. If the battery compartment does
not close securely, stop using the product
and keep it away from children.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by
an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

 Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be re-purposed and reprogrammed to
another vehicle.

 Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and
operate the vehicle.

WARNING!

 Always remove the key fobs from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter

‘n Go Ignition, always remember to place
the ignition in the OFF position.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an
authorized dealer. This procedure consists of
programming a blank key fob to the vehicle
electronics.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 17

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the
engine. The system does not need to be armed
or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless
of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push button
ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation.
Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed
to the vehicle can be used to start and operate
the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off
in two seconds if an incorrect key fob is used to
start the engine.

After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN
position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on
for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light
remains on after the bulb check, it indicates
that there is a problem with the electronics. In
addition, if the light begins to flash after the
bulb check, it indicates that someone used an
invalid key fob to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being
shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there
is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by
an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss of
security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new
vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle
electronics Ú page 357.

IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A

OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE

R

EVICE

D

Before programming a device to one of your
HomeLink® buttons, you must determine
whether the device has a rolling code or
non-rolling code.

Rolling Code Devices

To determine if your device has a rolling code, a
good indicator is its manufacturing date.
Typically, devices manufactured after 1995
have rolling codes. A device with a rolling code
will also have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button
located where the antenna is attached to the
device. The button may not be immediately
visible when looking at the device. The name
and color of the button may vary slightly by
manufacturer.

NOTE:
The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button
you normally use to operate the device.

Non-rolling Code Devices

Most devices manufactured before 1995 will
not have a rolling code. These devices will also
not have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A

ARAGE DOOR OPENER

G

To program any of the HomeLink® buttons to
activate your garage door opener motor, follow
the steps below:

NOTE:
All HomeLink® buttons are programmed using
this procedure. You do not need to erase all chan­nels when programming additional buttons.

1. Place the ignition switch into the ON/RUN
position.

2. Place the garage door opener transmitter
1 to 3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the

hanging antenna wire is attached to the
garage door opener motor. Firmly push and
release the “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

2. Return to the vehicle and push the
programmed HomeLink® button three
times (holding the button for two seconds
each time). If the garage door opener motor
operates, programming is complete.

3. Push the programmed HomeLink® button
to confirm that the garage door opener
motor operates. If the garage door opener
motor does not operate, repeat the final
steps for the rolling code procedure.

WARNING!

 Your motorized door or gate will open and

close while you are programming the
universal transceiver. Do not program the
transceiver if people or pets are in the path
of the door or gate.

 Do not run your vehicle in a closed garage

or confined area while programming the
transceiver. Exhaust gas from your vehicle
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is
odorless and colorless. Carbon Monoxide is
poisonous when inhaled and can cause you
and others to be severely injured or killed.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A

ISCELLANEOUS DEVICE

M

Refer to “Programming HomeLink® To A
Garage Door Opener” for the procedure on how
to program HomeLink® to a miscellaneous
device, as it follows the same procedure. Be
sure to determine if the device has a rolling
code, or non-rolling code before beginning the
programming process.

NOTE:
Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission, which may not
be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this
Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner. The
procedure may need to be performed multiple
times to successfully pair the device to your
HomeLink® buttons.

REPROGRAMMING A SINGLE

remaining steps.

CANADIAN /GATE OPERATOR

ROGRAMMING

P

For programming transmitters in Canada/
United States that require the transmitter
signals to “time-out” after several seconds of
transmission:

Canadian Radio Frequency (RF) laws require
transmitter signals to time-out (or quit) after
several seconds of transmission, which may not
be long enough for HomeLink® to pick up the
signal during programming. Similar to this

Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are
designed to time-out in the same manner.

It may be helpful to unplug the device during the
cycling process to prevent possible overheating
of the garage door or gate motor.

1. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:
For vehicles equipped with Keyless Enter ‘n Go,
place the ignition in the RUN position with the
engine on. Make sure while programming
HomeLink® with the engine on that your vehicle
is outside of your garage, or that the garage
door remains open at all times.

2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to
3 inches (3 to 8 cm) away from the
HomeLink® button you wish to program
while keeping the HomeLink® indicator
light in view.

3. Continue to push and hold the HomeLink®
button while you push and release (“cycle”)
your hand-held transmitter every two
seconds until HomeLink® has successfully
accepted the frequency signal. The
indicator light will flash slowly and then
rapidly when fully trained.

4. Watch for the HomeLink® indicator to
change flash rates. When it changes, it is
programmed. It may take up to 30 seconds
or longer in rare cases. The garage door
may open and close while you are
programming.

5. Push and hold the programmed
HomeLink® button and observe the
indicator light.

NOTE:

 If the indicator light stays on constantly,

programming is complete and the garage
door/device should activate when the
HomeLink® button is pushed.

 To program the two remaining HomeLink®

buttons, repeat each step for each
remaining button. DO NOT erase the
channels.

If you unplugged the garage door opener/device
for programming, plug it back in at this time.

intake grille, located in the right side trim
panel behind the third row seats. The heater
outlets are located in the right side trim
panel, just behind the passenger second row
door. Do not block or place objects directly in
front of the inlet grille or heater outlets. The
electrical system could overload causing
damage to the blower motor.

NOTE:
Refer to the chart at the end of this section for
suggested control settings for various weather
conditions.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide
proper corrosion protection and to protect
against engine overheating. A solution of 50%
OAT (Organic Additive Technology) coolant that
meets the requirements of FCA Material
Standard MS.90032 and 50% water is
recommended Ú page 351.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and
defroster performance, make sure the engine
cooling system is functioning properly and the
proper amount, type, and concentration of
coolant is used. Use of the Air Recirculation
mode during Winter months is not
recommended, because it may cause window
fogging.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 67

Vacation/Storage

For information on maintaining the Climate
Control system when the vehicle is being stored
for an extended period of time, see
Ú page 343.

Window Fogging

Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly
removed by turning the mode selector to
Defrost. The Defrost/Floor mode can be used to
maintain a clear windshield and provide
sufficient heating. If side window fogging
becomes objectionable, increase blower speed
to improve airflow and clearing of the side
windows. Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild but rainy or humid weather.

NOTE:

 Recirculate without A/C should not be used

for long periods, as fogging may occur.

 Automatic Temperature Controls (ATC) will

automatically adjust the climate control
settings to reduce or eliminate window
fogging on the front windshield. When this
occurs, recirculation will be unavailable.

Outside Air Intake

Make sure the air intake, located directly in
front of the windshield, is free of obstructions,
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air
intake may reduce airflow, and if they enter the
air distribution box, they could plug the water
drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.

Cabin Air Filter

The Climate Control system filters out dust and
pollen from the air. Contact an authorized
dealer to service your cabin air filter, and to
have it replaced when needed Ú page 296.

Stop/Start System — If Equipped

While in an Autostop, the Climate Control

conditions are met:

 Activation By Front Defrost

The wiper de-icer activates automatically
during a cold weather manual start with full
defrost, and when the ambient temperature
is below 33°F (0.6°C).

 Activation By Rear Defrost

The wiper de-icer activates automatically
when the Rear Defrost is operating and the
ambient temperature is below 33°F (0.6°C).

 Activation By Remote Start Operation

When the Remote Start is activated and the
outside ambient temperature is less than
33°F (0.6°C) the windshield wiper de-icer is
activated. Exiting Remote Start will resume
its previous operation. If the Windshield
Wiper De-Icer was active, the timer and oper­ation will continue.

82 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Cargo Tie-Down Hooks

The cargo tie-downs, located on the cargo area
floor, should be used to safely secure loads
when the vehicle is moving.

Tie-Down Hooks

WARNING!

 Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a

child seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or
accident, a tie-down could pull loose and
allow the child seat to come loose. A child
could be badly injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 To help protect against personal injury,

passengers should not be seated in the
rear cargo area. The rear cargo space is
intended for load carrying purposes only,
not for passengers, who should sit in seats
and use seat belts.

The weight and position of cargo and
passengers can change the vehicle center of
gravity and vehicle handling. To avoid loss of
control resulting in personal injury, follow
these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

 Do not carry loads that exceed the load

limits described on the label attached to
the left door or left door center pillar.

 Always place cargo evenly on the cargo

floor. Put heavier objects as low and as far
forward as possible.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 Place as much cargo as possible in front of

the rear axle. Too much weight or improp­erly placed weight over or behind the rear
axle can cause the vehicle to sway.

 Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the

top of the seatback. This could impair visi­bility or become a dangerous projectile in a
sudden stop or accident.

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The crossbars and side rails are designed to
carry weight on vehicles equipped with a
luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lb
(68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed
over the luggage rack crossbars.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 83

The crossbars on your vehicle are delivered
stowed within the roof rack side rails. Crossbars
should always be used whenever cargo is
placed on the roof rack. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.

Roof Rack

1 — Side Rail
2 — Crossbar

The roof rack does not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the
total load of cargo inside the vehicle plus that
on the external rack does not exceed the
maximum vehicle load capacity.

DEPLOYING THE CROSSBARS

1. Starting with one crossbar, completely
loosen the thumb screws at both ends of
the crossbar.

Thumb Screw

NOTE:
The thumb screws cannot be fully removed.

2. Remove the crossbar from the stowed
position by sliding the crossbar towards the
center of the roof. Repeat with the crossbar
on the opposite side.

86 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:

 To help control wind noise, stow the cross-

bars in the side rails when they are not in use.

 If any metallic object is placed over the satel-

lite radio antenna (if equipped), you may
experience interruption of satellite radio
reception.

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 deployed. 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 other protective layer
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.

 Load should always be secured to cross-

bars first, with tie down loops used as addi­tional securing points if needed. Tie loops
are intended as supplementary tie down
points only. Do not use ratcheting mecha­nisms with the tie loops. Check the straps
and thumb wheels frequently to be sure
that the load remains securely attached.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

 Long loads that 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.

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.

When load reduction is activated, the message
“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will
appear in the instrument cluster.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery
has a low state of charge and continues to lose
electrical charge at a rate that the charging
system cannot sustain.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 97

NOTE:

 The charging system is independent from

load reduction. The charging system
performs a diagnostic on the charging
system continuously.

 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it

may indicate a problem with the charging
system Ú page 99.

The electrical loads that may be switched off
(if equipped), and vehicle functions which can
be affected by load reduction:

 Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel

 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

 HVAC System

 115 Volt AC Power Inverter System

 Audio and Telematics System

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or
more of the following conditions:

 The charging system cannot deliver enough

electrical power to the vehicle system
because the electrical loads are larger than
the capability of the charging system. The
charging system is still functioning properly.

 Turning on all possible vehicle electrical

loads (e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and
interior lights, overloaded power outlets
+12 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports) during
certain driving conditions (city driving,
towing, frequent stopping, etc.).

 Installing options like additional lights,

upfitter electrical accessories, audio
systems, alarms and similar devices.

 Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated

by long parking periods).

 The vehicle was parked for an extended

period of time (weeks, months).

 The battery was recently replaced and was

not charged completely.

 The battery was discharged by an electrical

load left on when the vehicle was parked.

 The battery was used for an extended period

with the engine not running to supply radio,
lights, chargers, +12 Volt portable appli­ances like vacuum cleaners, game consoles
and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction
action message is present (“Battery Saver On”
or “Battery Saver Mode”)

During a trip:

 Reduce power to unnecessary loads if

possible:

 Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)

 Check what may be plugged in to power

outlets +12 Volt, 115 Volt AC, USB ports

 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)

 Check the audio settings (volume)

After a trip:

 Check if any aftermarket equipment was

installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical
accessories, audio systems, alarms) and
review specifications if any (load and Ignition
Off Draw currents).

 Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance,

driving time and parking time).

 The vehicle should have service performed if

the message is still present during consecu­tive trips, and if the evaluation and driving
pattern of the vehicle did not help to identify
the cause.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in
the instrument panel together with a dedicated
message and/or acoustic signal when
applicable. These indications are indicative and
precautionary and as such must not be
considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to
the information contained in the Owner’s
Manual, which you are advised to read carefully
in all cases. Always refer to the information in
this chapter in the event of a failure indication.
All active telltales will display first if applicable.
The system check menu may appear different
based upon equipment options and current
vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and
may not appear.

RED WARNING LIGHTS

Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light

This warning light indicates when the
driver or passenger seat belt is
unbuckled. When the ignition is first

placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/
RUN position and if the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound and the light will
turn on. When driving, if the driver or front
passenger seat belt remains unbuckled, the

Seat Belt Reminder Light will flash or remain on
continuously and a chime will sound
Ú page 223.

Air Bag Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to
indicate a fault with the air bag, and
will turn on for four to eight seconds

as a bulb check when the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN
position. This light will illuminate with a single
chime when a fault with the air bag has been
detected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared.
If the light is either not on during startup, stays
on, or turns on while driving, have the system
inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as
possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various

brake functions, including brake fluid

level and parking brake application. If

the brake light turns on it may
indicate that the parking brake is applied, that
the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a
problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System
reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake
has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at
the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it
indicates a possible brake hydraulic system
malfunction or that a problem with the Brake
Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability
Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will
remain on until the condition has been
corrected. If the problem is related to the brake
booster, the ABS pump will run when applying
the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be
felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve
braking capacity in the event of a failure to a
portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either
half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when
the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has
dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is
corrected.
