the driver use extreme caution
when using any device or feature
that may take their attention off
the road. Use of any electrical
devices such as cell phones,
computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other
devices by the driver while the
vehicle is moving is dangerous
and could lead to a serious
collision. Texting while driving is
also dangerous and should never
be done while the vehicle is
moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote your full
attention to vehicle operation,
pull off the road to a safe location
and stop your vehicle. Some
States or Provinces prohibit the
use of cellular telephones or
texting while driving. It is always
the driver’s responsibility to
comply with all local laws.

WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be
assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and
high quality - all essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.
Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the
driver's control under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver
and are never a substitute for attentive driving. They can never take the
driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you
and your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving
because they take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving.

GETTING STARTED
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

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 or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
SEAT BELT
•
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove
slack in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the
lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A
snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during
a collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not
wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used
together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop
you could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear
your seat belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays,
or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be
replaced after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions are equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced
immediately.
9
GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater
injuries if you are not buckled up properly. 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.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR
BAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right
front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The
Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection
by supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending
on the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are not
expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable
Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a
window.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air
Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during
a side impact.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service
center immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
is not on during starting, stays on, or
WARNING!
• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you
properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always
wear your seat belts even though you have air bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury,
including death. Air bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably
extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument
panel.
• Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean
against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
(Continued)
10
GETTING STARTED
WARNING! (Continued)
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtain
and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause
you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you
are involved in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to
protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized
dealer immediately.
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.
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. LATCH child restraint anchorage
systems are installed at all three rear seating positions.
• The rear outboard seating positions have lower anchors, and all three
rear seating positions have top tether anchors.
• 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 child seat 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
seatcover material.
11
GETTING STARTED
• The tether strap should be routed under the center of the head restraint
and attached to the tether anchor on the rear of the seatback.
• Tighten all three straps as you
push the child restraint rearward
and downward into the seat.
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 routed over the
center top of the head restraint.
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 severely injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should
be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages
can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be
severely 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.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of
a vehicle with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment
could cause infants in this position to be severely injured or killed.

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 movement is stopped by an obstruction in the seat’s
path.
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 severely
injured or killed. Only adjust a seat while the vehicle is parked.
• 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 severely injured or killed. Use the recliner
only when the vehicle is parked.
REAR SEATS
Folding Rear Seatback
• To fold each rear seatback, pull
the strap forward to move the
seatback forward and flat.

• To recline each rear seatback, pull
the strap forward just enough to
release the seatback latch. Then
push the seatback to a reclined
position, approximately 35
degrees maximum, and release
the strap.
14
GETTING STARTED
WARNING!
Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the
seatback is not securely locked into position, the seat will not provide
the proper stability for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly
latched seat could cause serious injury.

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.
16
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain
(transmission and axle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial
60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local
traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle
acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality
energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with
anticipated climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining
Your Vehicle”.
NOTE: A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand
miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of
the break-in and not interpreted as an indication of difficulty.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or
damage may result.

WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control and have a collision.
Always leave the Electronic Speed Control system off when you are
not using it.
(Continued)
20
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING! (Continued)
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control. A collision could be the
result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6
speeds, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite
number of speeds. This allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to
optimize performance and fuel economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a
conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is
“shifting.” These characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to
the CVT's efficiency.

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
• Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly,
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should
determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should
stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the
proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling
and stopping ability.
switch.
63
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE,
ADJUST THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE
SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER INFLATION,
THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE
THE FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
• Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger
illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
• Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator
to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue each time the vehicle is restarted as long as the
malfunction exists.
• When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions
may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the
TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction
telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to
ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS
to continue to function properly.
NOTE: Tire pressures change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C)
of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pressure
inside a garage, especially in the Winter. Example: If garage temperature is
68°F (20°C) and the outside temperature is 32°F (0°C), then the cold tire
inflation pressure should be increased by 3 psi (21 kPa), which equals 1 psi
(7 kPa) for every 12°F (7°C) for this outside temperature condition.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and
wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the
tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or
sensor damage may result when using replacement equipment that is
not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if
your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may
result.

• 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, place the transmission in 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 blower 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.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the
temperature gauge reads 240°F (116 °C) or greater pull over and stop
the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the
pointer drops back into the normal range 200–230°F (93–110°C). If
the pointer remains at 240°F (116°C) or greater and you hear a chime,
turn the engine off immediately and call for service.

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.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING
• During sustained high speed driving or trailer towing up long grades on
hot days, the automatic transmission oil may become too hot.
• When the transmission overheat warning light
experience reduced performance until the automatic transmission cools
down. Once the transmission has cooled down and the light turns off,
you may continue to drive normally. If the high speed is maintained, the
overheating will continue to occur.
• If the overheating continues, it may become necessary to stop the
vehicle and run the engine at idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL until
the light turns off.

74
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
Jump-Starting Procedure
NOTE: Remove Air Intake before proceeding with this Jump-Starting
procedure.
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the positive (+) post
of the discharged vehicle.
2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the
positive (+) post of the booster battery.
3. Connect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable to the negative (-)
post of the booster battery.
4. 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.
5. 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:
6. Disconnect the negative (-) jumper cable from the engine ground of the
vehicle with the discharged battery.
7. Disconnect the negative end (-) of the jumper cable from the negative
(-) post of the booster battery.
8. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the

(+) post of the discharged vehicle.
10. Reinstall the air intake duct.
NOTE: 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.
• Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster
source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the
battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur.
• Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the
charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

rupture or explode and cause personal injury.
• 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.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or
property damage due to battery explosion.
• 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.

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
For further information on ESC, refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between REVERSE and
DRIVE, 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).
WARNING!
switch.
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.
78
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
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.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances
in which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash
situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location)
are 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.
79
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
OPENING THE HOOD
• Pull the release lever located

front of the driver’s door.
• Raise the hood and locate the
safety latch, in the middle of the
hood opening.
• Move the safety latch while lifting
the hood at the same time.
• Insert the support rod into the slot
on the hood.
• To close the hood, remove the
support rod and place it in the
retaining clip, then lower the hood
slowly.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your vehicle. If the
hood is not fully latched, it could open when the vehicle is in motion
and block your vision. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.

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
regarding tire warnings and
instructions.
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.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in
severe cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Overinflation 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.
89
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated
