®
II
Operating Instructions/
Precautions
• When additional traction is required, the 4WD LOW position can be used to lock the front and rear driveshafts together and force the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. The 4WD LOW position is intended for loose, slippery road surfaces only. Driving in the 4WD LOW position on dry, hard-surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to driveline components.
• When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW, the engine speed is approximately three times that of the 4WD HI position at a given road speed. Take care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h).
NOTE:
• If shift conditions/interlocks are not met, or a transfer case motor temperature protection condition exists, a “CHECK SHIFT PROCEDURES” message will flash from the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
WARNING!
• The Quadra-Trac II®/Quadra-Drive II transfer case is fully automatic in the normal driving 4WD HI mode. The Quadra-Trac II transfer case provides three mode positions:
• 4WD HI
• NEUTRAL
• 4WD LOW
• This transfer case is fully automatic in the 4WD HI mode.

Shifting Procedures

4WD HI To 4WD LOW
• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and raise the transfer case T-handle. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the instrument cluster will begin to flash and remain on solid when the shift is complete. Release the T-handle.
• Shifting into or out of 4WD LOW is possible with the vehicle completely stopped; however, difficulty may occur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be required for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur. The preferred method is with the vehicle rolling 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h). If the vehicle is moving faster than 3 mph (5 km/h), the transfer case will not allow the shift.
4WD LOW To 4WD HI
• With the vehicle at speeds of 0 to 3 mph (0 to 5 km/h), key ON or engine running, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL, and raise the transfer case T-handle. The “4WD LOW” indicator light in the instrument cluster will flash and go out when the shift is complete. Release the T-handle.
NEUTRAL Shift Procedure
• Key ON, engine off.
• Vehicle stopped, with foot on brake.
• Place the transmission into NEUTRAL.
• Hold down the NEUTRAL “pin” switch (with a pen, etc.) for four seconds until the LED light by the switch starts to blink indicating shift in progress. The light will stop blinking (stay on solid) when the NEUTRAL shift is complete. A “4WD SYSTEM IN NEUTRAL” message will display on the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS

- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light

• If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicles traction when starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESP system off.

- 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.

- Brake Warning Light

• The Brake Warning light illuminates when there is either a system malfunction or the parking brake is applied. If the light is on and the parking brake is not applied, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic malfunction, brake booster problem or an Anti-Lock Brake System problem.
• We recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the vehicle serviced immediately.
44
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

• Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and not require towing.
• If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. We recommend you do not operate the vehicle. Have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.
- Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/Brake Assist
System (BAS) Warning Light
• If the ESP/BAS warning light comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected.
• 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.

- Charging System Light

• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Oil Pressure Warning Light

• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.

- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light

• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as possible.
45
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light

• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing.

- Airbag Warning Light

• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, we recommend you drive to the nearest Service Center and have the system serviced as soon as possible.

Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message

• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas cap until a “clicking” sound is heard.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, see your dealer.

Oil Change Indicator

Message

46
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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, 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.
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.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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.
• If it is necessary to retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle on the side of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit.

Jack Location

• The scissor-type jack and tire changing tools are located in a compartment behind the third row seat.
48
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

Spare Tire Stowage

• To remove or stow the spare, use the jack handle to rotate the “spare tire drive” nut which is located under a plastic cover under the cargo load floor, just inside the liftgate opening.
• Lower the spare tire by turning the drive nut counterclockwise with the jack-handle assembly until the spare tire is on the ground with enough cable slack to allow you to pull the spare tire out from underneath the vehicle.
• When the spare is clear, tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the center of the wheel.

Preparations For Jacking

• Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Set the parking brake and shift the automatic transmission into PARK.
• Turn the ignition to LOCK and turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For example, if changing the right front tire, block the left rear wheel.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.

Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions

WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from their stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them to the left one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the extension, then to the lug wrench.
49
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• Place the jack:
• For front wheels, place it under the front lower control arm.
• For rear wheels, place it under the axle near the wheel to be changed.
• Turn the jack screw clockwise to firmly engage the jack saddle with the lift area of the sill flange.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. 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, wheel cover (if equipped) and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Do NOT attempt to install a center cap or wheel cover on the compact spare. 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 checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the places provided.
• Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
NOTE: Tire should be stowed with the “beauty” side up. Storing the tire upside down may result in scratching or damage to the wheel face. Continue winching up the tire until you hear the winch “ratchet” three times.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

JUMP-STARTING

WARNING!
Any procedure other than the following could result in:
• Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent,
• Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion,
• Damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or of the immobilized vehicle.
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 hurt by the fan.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
• Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution; do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or clothing. Do not lean over a battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other. If acid splashes in your eyes or on skin, flush the contaminated area immediately with large quantities of water.
(Continued)
51
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
WARNING! (Continued)
• A battery generates hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep flames or sparks away from the battery vent holes. Don’t lean over the battery when attaching clamps or allow the clamps to touch each other.
• Do not use a booster battery or any other booster source with an output that exceeds 12-volts (i.e., do not use a 24-volt power source).
• Check the battery test indicator (if equipped). If a light or bright colored dot is visible in the indicator, DO NOT jump-start the battery. If the indicator is dark or shows a green dot, proceed as follows:
• Remove all metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, which might make an unintended electrical contact.
WARNING!
• Do not permit vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
• 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.
• Park the booster vehicle within cable reach but without letting the vehicles touch. Set the parking brake on both vehicles, shift the automatic transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition to LOCK.
• Turn off the heater, radio, and all unnecessary electrical loads.
• Connect one end of a jumper cable to the positive terminal of the booster battery. Connect the other end of the same cable to the positive terminal of the discharged battery.
• Connect the other cable, first to the negative terminal of the booster battery and then to the engine ground (-) of the vehicle with the discharged battery. Make sure you have a good contact on the engine ground.
• Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery; let the engine idle a few minutes.
• Start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
• When removing the jumper cables, reverse the above sequence exactly. Be careful of the moving belts and fan.
WARNING!
During cold weather 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. The battery temperature must be brought up above the freezing point before attempting a jump-start.
52
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES

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.
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.

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.

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 on the life of tires.
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.

ESP/ABS, Trailer Sway Damp Relay
WARNING!
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.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE

• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR equivalent or select a nonabrasive, 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 recommended.

• Tires should be inspected regularly by a qualified technician for signs of damage, such as punctures, impacts, underinflation 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 for information on proper repair procedures. Never perform a temporary repair or use an inner tube as a substitute for a proper repair. Only qualified persons 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 assemblies completely before demounting.

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.
