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 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.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting your new
vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workman­ship, distinctive styling, and high quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and
perform tasks that are not intended for conventional
passenger vehicles. It handles and maneuvers differently
from many passenger vehicles both on-road and off-road, so
take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped,
the two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed for
on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving or
use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel drive
vehicle. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle
controls, particularly those used for braking, steering, trans­mission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle
handles on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will
improve with experience. When driving off-road, or
working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the
vehicle to overcome the natural laws of physics. Always
observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever
you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to

operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
a collision. Refer to the “Driving Tips” in “Starting and Oper­ating” for further information.

This Owner's Manual has been prepared with the assistance
of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with
the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is supple­mented by Warranty Information, and customer-oriented
documents located online. Within this information, you will
find a description of the services that FCA US LLC offers to
its customers, the vehicle's warranty coverage, and the
details of the terms and conditions for maintaining its
validity. Please take the time to read all of these publications
carefully before driving your vehicle for the first time.
Following the instructions, recommendations, tips, and
important warnings in this manual will help assure safe and
enjoyable operation of your vehicle

This Owner’s Manual describes all versions of this vehicle.
Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not expressly indicated in the text. Therefore,
you should only consider the information which is related to
the trim level, engine, and version that you have purchased.
Any content introduced throughout the Owner’s Informa-

tion, that may or may not be applicable to your vehicle, will
be identified with the wording “If Equipped”. All data
contained in this publication are intended to help you use
your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA US LLC aims at a
constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this
reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model
described for technical and/or commercial reasons. For
further information, contact an authorized dealer.

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.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher ground
clearance and a higher center of gravity than many
passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a
wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe
manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the
higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it may
roll over while some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other
unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control.

Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a collision,
rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive care­fully.

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is a
major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US govern­ment notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could
cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each year and
could reduce disabling injuries by two million annually. In a
rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

The key fob may not be detected by the vehicle if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.

CAUTION!

The electrical components inside of the key fob may be
damaged if the key fob is subjected to strong electrical
shocks. In order to ensure complete efficiency of the
electronic devices inside of the key fob, avoid exposing
the key fob to direct sunlight.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 19

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and swing
gate from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m) by
pressing the appropriate button on the fob. The key fob does
not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:

With the ignition in ON/RUN position and with the vehicle
doors open, the lock button will be disabled, and only the
unlock button will be enabled. All RKE commands will be
disabled once the vehicle begins moving at 2 mph (4 km/h)
or above.

Backup Mode Starting

In case the ignition switch does not change with the push of
a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted
battery. A low key fob battery can be verified by referring to
the instrument cluster, which will display directions to
follow.

NOTE:

A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by a
message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED
light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no longer illu­minates from key fob button pushes, then the key fob battery
requires replacement.

In this situation, a back up method can be used to operate the
ignition switch. Put the nose side of the key fob against the
START/STOP ignition button, and push to operate the igni­tion switch.
