VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA

With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, do not drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This manual may also include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and equipment described in this manual that are not on this vehicle. FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in

design and specications, and/or make additions to

or improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.

REFUELING

Only refuel with unleaded gasoline with a recommended rating of 91 oc

tane. A rating less than 87

octane is not acceptable. Do not use gasoline containing methanol or ethanol E85. Using these mixtures may cause misfiring and handling issues, as well as damage fundamental components of the fuel supply system.

READ THIS CAREFULLY

STARTING THE ENGINE

If equipped with a manual transmis-

sion: Be sure that the parking brake

s engaged; place the gear selector

in NEUTRAL, fully depress the clutch pedal without pressing the acceler ator, and then push the ignition button. The en

gine will start as soon as the ignition is

pushed.

If equipped with an automatic transmission: B sure that the parking brake is engaged and that the gear selector is in PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N), depress the brake pedal, and then push the ignition button. The engine will start as soon as the ignition is pushed.

PARKING ON FLAMMABLE MATERIAL

The catalytic converter develops high temperatures during operation. Do not park the vehicle on p

tential fire hazards such as:

o grass, dry leaves, pine needles or other flam mable materials.

RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT

The vehicle is equipped with a system that carries out a continuous diagnosis of the emission-related components in order to

lp protect the environment.

ELECTRICAL ACCESSORIES

Contact an authorized dealer if you decide to add electrical accessories (w

ith the risk of gradually draining

the battery) after buying the vehicle. They can calculate the overall elec trical requirement and check that the

hicle's electric system can support the

required load.

SCHEDULED SERVICING

Correct maintenance of the vehicle

is essential for ensuring that it

intains its performance and its

safety features, its environmental friendliness and low running costs are unchanged over time.

ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Each time directions (left/right or forward/backwards) are listed, they are determined by facing fo

rward from the rear of the vehicle or as from the point of view of being seated inside the car. Special cases not complying with this rule will be properly specified in the text.

The figures in the Owner’s Manual are pr

ovided by way of example only: this might imply that some details of the image do not correspond to the actual arrangement of your vehicle. In addition, the Owner’s Manual has been conceived considering vehicles with a steering wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible that on vehicles with a steering wheel on the right side, the position of some controls or elements is not exactly mirror-like with respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information ne

eded you can consult the Index at the end

of this Owner’s Manual.

Chapters can be rapidly identified by graphic

bs, at the side of each odd page. A key

ta showing the order of the chapters and the corresponding tab symbols appears on another page.

SYMBOLS

While reading this Owner’s Manual you will find a series of WARNINGS that must be care- fully followed to prevent incorrect use of the c

mponents of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries.

There are also CA fully followed to prevent procedures that co

uld damage your vehicle.

Therefore, all WA always be carefully followed.

ACCESSORIES PURCHASED BY THE OWNER

If after buying the vehicle, you decide to install electrical accessories that require a permanent electrical supply (e.g. radio, satellite anti-theft system, etc.) or accesso ries that burden the electrical supply, co

ntact an authorized dealer, whose personnel will check whether the vehicle’s electrical system is able to withstand the load required, or whether it needs to be inte grated with a more powerful battery.

NOTE:

Use only floor mats that leave the pedal area u

obstructed and that are firmly secured so

n that they cannot slip out of position and interfere with the pedals or impair safe oper ation of your vehicle in other ways.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

eceived, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.

NOTE:

Changes or modifications not expressly ap

proved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to o

erate the equipment.

RADIO TRANSMITTERS AND MOBILE PHONES

Radio transmitter equipment (vehicle mobile phones, CB radios, amateur radio etc.) cannot be used inside the vehicle unless a separate aerial is mounted externally.

Transmission and reception of these devices ma

y be affected by the shielding effect of the vehicle body. As far as the use of EC-approved mobile phones is concerned (GSM, GPRS, UMTS, LTE), follow the usage instructions provided by the mobile phone manufacturer.

The use of these devices inside the vehicle

ithout an external aerial) may cause the

(w electrical systems to malfunction. This could compromise the vehicle safety in addition to constituting a potential hazard for passen gers' health.

If mobile phones/laptops/smartphones/ t

blets are inside the vehicle and/or close to

a the electronic key, a reduced performance of the Advanced Keyless Entry System may occur.

Please comply with the legal regulations co

ncerning the use of communication equipment in vehicles in your country. Use of any e

ectrical devices such as cell phones,

l computers, portable radios, vehicle naviga tion or other devices by the driver while the

hicle is moving is dangerous. Dialing a

ve number on a cell phone while driving also ties up the driver's hands. Use of these devices will cause the driver to be distracted and could lead to a serious accident. If a passenger is unable to use the device, pull off the right-of-way to a safe area before use. If use of a cell phone is necessary despite this warning, use a hands-free system to at least leave the hands free to drive the vehicle. Never use a cell phone or other elec

trical devices while the vehicle is moving an

d, instead, concentrate on the full-time

job of driving.
