Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By
converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for your
vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and lessen the
stress on our environment.
This is a specialized utility vehicle designed for both on-road and off-road use. It can go
places and perform tasks for which conventional two-wheel drive enclosed vehicles were
not intended. It handles and maneuvers differently from many passenger cars both on-road
and off-road, so take time to become familiar with your vehicle.

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, don’t 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
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.

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
• 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.
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.
Four Door
• The rear outboard seating positions of the four door have lower anchors and all three
rear seating positions have top tether anchors.
9
GETTING STARTED
• 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.
• 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 anchorage bars, pushing aside the
seat cover material. You will easily feel the
anchorage bars if you run your finger along
the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using
the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the
head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
seat.
Two Door
•Thetwo door model can accommodate flexible LATCH-compatible child seats in the
two outboard seating positions only.
• 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 anchorage bars, pushing aside the
seat cover material. You will easily feel the
anchorage bars if you run your finger along
the intersection of the seatback and seat
cushion surfaces.
10
GETTING STARTED
• The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback using
the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether underneath the
head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of the seat.
• Tighten all three straps as you push the child
restraint rearward and downward into the
seat.
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.
• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top
tether strap. The tether strap should be attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the
seatback using the most direct path. For the outboard seating positions, route the tether
underneath the head rest and attach the hook to the tether anchor located on the back of
the seat.
WARNING!
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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC 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 drive to the nearest service center as
soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected.
• The “ESC 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

- 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.
• 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.

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.
44
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.
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
be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should be jacked on a
firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
Jack Location
• The jack and lug wrench are located in the rear storage compartment.
Spare Tire Stowage
• Remove the tire cover, if equipped, and remove the lug nuts with the lug wrench turning
them counterclockwise. Remove wheel lock if equipped.

tube. Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
46
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw to
the right. Raise the vehicle only until the tire
just clears the surface and enough clearance
is obtained to install the spare tire.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable and
cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the
vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped
end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To avoid the risk of forcing
the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw to the left, and remove the jack and wheel
blocks.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while tightening for increased
leverage. Alternate nuts until each one has been tightened twice. The correct wheel nut
tightness is 95 ft lbs (130 N•m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them

WARNING!
When temperatures are below the freezing point, electrolyte in a discharged 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
freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
Preparations for Jump-Start
• The battery in your vehicle is located in the front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
48
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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.
• 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.

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.
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 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 a good engine ground
(exposed metal part of the discharged vehicle’s engine) away from the battery and the
fuel injection system.
49
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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 engine ground 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 positive (+) post of the
discharged vehicle.
• Reinstall the air intake duct.
• 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.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front and the rear.
NOTE: For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to
minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.
WARNING!
• Chains are not recommended for freeing a stuck vehicle. Chains may break,
causing serious injury or death.
• Stand clear of vehicles when pulling with tow hooks. Tow straps and chains may
break, causing serious injury.
50
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not
use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. You could damage your
vehicle. Tow straps are recommended when towing the vehicle; chains may cause
vehicle damage.
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
• The manufacturer requires towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground
using a flatbed.
CAUTION!
Towing this vehicle using any other method could result in extensive damage to the
transfer case and/or transmission.
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• This vehicle is equipped with an Event Data Recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle's systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• This data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which a crash
and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) is recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such
as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they
have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

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.

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 wheels protective finish. Avoid
automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage
the wheels protective finish. Only MOPAR

• If NHTSA receives similar complaints,
it may open an investigation, and if it
finds that a safety defect exists in a
group of vehicles, it may order a recall
and remedy campaign. However,
NHTSA cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your
authorized dealer, and the
manufacturer.

and/or improper maintenance.
(Continued)
WARNING! (Continued)
• Tires should be inspected
regularly by a qualified technician
for signs of damage, such as
punctures, impacts,
under-inflation 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

should repair tires.
• 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

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
place with as little exposure to the light
as possible.
• Protect tires from contact with oil,
grease, and gasoline.
NOTE: All tire warranties are made by
the tire manufacturer. Tires are not
covered under your Chrysler New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
