INTRODUCTION

This booklet is a supplement to the Owner’s Manual
prepared with the assistance of service and engineering
specialists, and is intended to aid the operators of police
or fleet vehicles (used in severe duty, high-mileage op­erations) in understanding the operation and required
maintenance procedures for such vehicles. It covers
maintenance procedures for vehicles equipped with
heavy-duty packages. However, other vehicles operated
under the conditions listed below are also considered
“severe service” vehicles, and should be serviced and
maintained as prescribed in this booklet. You are urged to
read this publication and the Owner’s Manual carefully.

Refer to the Police Upfitter’s Guide provided with your
vehicle, prior to the addition of any aftermarket equip­ment.

Following the instructions and recommendations pro­vided herein, will help assure safe and reliable operation
of your vehicle. After you have read the booklet, it should
be stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and
remain with the vehicle when sold.

When it comes to service, remember that your authorized
dealer knows your vehicle best, has factory-trained tech­nicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about
your satisfaction.

The power door locks can be manually locked from
inside the vehicle by using the door lock knob. To lock
each door, push the door lock knob on each door trim
panel downward. To unlock the front doors, pull the
inside door handle to the first detent. For Police vehicle,
both rear passenger doors are inoperable from the rear
seat position, inside of the vehicle. If the lock knob is
down when the door is closed, the door will lock.
Therefore, make sure the key is not inside the vehicle
before closing the door.

WARNING!

• For personal security and safety in the event of an
collision, lock the vehicle doors as you drive as
well as when you park and leave the vehicle.

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a
number of reasons. A child or others could be
seriously or fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal
or the gear selector.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or
in a location accessible to children, and do not
leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with
Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode.
A child could operate power windows, other con­trols, or move the vehicle.

panel. Press the switch to lock or unlock the doors.

Power Door Lock Switch

If the lock knob is down when the door is closed, the door
will lock. Therefore, make sure the key fob is not inside
the vehicle before closing the door.

If you press the door lock switch while the key fob is in
the ignition switch and the driver’s door is open, the
doors will not lock.

For Police vehicle, both rear passenger doors are inoper­able from the rear seat position, inside of the vehicle.

Automatic Unlock On Exit Feature — If Equipped

If Auto Unlock is enabled, this feature will unlock all the
doors when any door is opened if the vehicle is stopped
and in PARK. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under­standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.

PASSIVE ENTRY SYSTEM

The Passive Entry system is an enhancement to the
vehicle’s Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system. This fea­ture allows you to lock and unlock the vehicle’s door(s)
without having to press the RKE transmitter lock or
unlock buttons.

NOTE:

• Passive Entry may be programmed ON/OFF; refer to
“Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/ Per­sonal Settings (Customer-Programmable Features)” in
“Understanding Your Instrument Panel” for further
information.

• If wearing gloves on your hands, or if it has been
raining on the Passive Entry door handle, the unlock
sensitivity can be affected, resulting in a slower re­sponse time.

• If the vehicle is unlocked by Passive Entry and no door
goes ajar within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock
and if equipped will arm the theft alarm (if equipped).
