GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

KEYS

KEY FOB

Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless Enter-N-Go (if equipped), Remote Start (if equipped), and remote trunk operation. The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the doors and trunk from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also contains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of the key fob.

NOTE:

 The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked

if the key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or other electronic device. This may result in poor performance.

 With ignition in the ON position and the

vehicle moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are disabled.

Key Fob

1 — Unlock 2 — Trunk Open 3 — Lock 4 — Remote Start (If Equipped) 5 — PANIC Button 6 — Emergency Key

NOTE: 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 Ú page 348.

To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Trunk

Push and release the unlock button on the key fob once to unlock the driver's door or twice within five seconds to unlock all doors. Push and release the lock button on the key fob to lock all doors.

When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will flash and the illuminated entry system will be activated. When the doors are locked, the

Page 16

14 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

turn signals will flash and the horn will chirp. This setting can be adjusted in the Uconnect system Ú page 133.

NOTE:

 If the vehicle is unlocked with the key fob,

and no door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle will re-lock and the security system will arm (if equipped).

 If one or more doors are open, or the trunk is

open, the doors will lock. The doors will unlock again automatically if the key is left inside the passenger compartment, otherwise the doors will stay locked.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the first push of the unlock button through Uconnect Settings Ú page 133.

NOTE: When you use the key fob to open any door, the courtesy lights, overhead lights, and approach lighting in the outside mirrors (if equipped) will turn on Ú page 49.

To Unlatch The Trunk

Push the trunk button on the key fob two times within five seconds to unlatch the trunk.

Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob

The recommended replacement battery is one CR2032 battery.

NOTE:

 Customers are recommended to use a

battery obtained from Mopar. Aftermarket coin battery dimensions may not meet the original OEM coin battery dimensions.

 Perchlorate Material — special handling may

apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate for further information.

 Do not touch the battery terminals that are

on the back housing or the printed circuit board.

1. Remove the emergency key (2) by sliding the emergency key release (1) on the back of the key fob and pull the emergency key out with your other hand.

3. Remove the back cover to access and replace the battery. When replacing the battery, match the (+) sign on the battery to the (+) sign on the inside of the battery clip, located on the back cover. Avoid touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration. If you touch a battery, clean it with rubbing alcohol.

4. To assemble the key fob case, snap the two halves together.

Programming And Requesting Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

 Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be re-purposed and reprogrammed to another vehicle.

 Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

Page 18

16 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

 Always remove the key fobs from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unattended.

 For vehicles equipped with Keyless

Enter-N-Go — Ignition, always remember to place the ignition in the OFF mode.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an authorized dealer. This procedure consists of programming a blank key fob to the vehicle electronics.

NOTE: When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer system serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the engine. The system does not need to be armed or activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.

The system uses a key fob, keyless push button ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from another vehicle.

After placing the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position, the vehicle security light will turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates that someone attempted to start the engine with an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob is used to start the engine but there is an issue with the vehicle electronics, the engine will start and shut off after two seconds.

If the vehicle security light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not compatible with some aftermarket remote starting systems. Use of these systems may result in vehicle starting problems and loss of security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle electronics Ú page 348.

EATING INSTALLED

All passenger occupants within the vehicle must be in a seat equipped with a Seat Belt System and Head Restraint for the safety of the passenger. If the passenger and/or rear seats have been removed, do not ride in those areas.

This vehicle has been designed to maximize total performance. In doing so, the deletion of passenger seats and/or rear seat may affect the Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) characteristics. As a result, the interior will be louder overall.

WARNING!

 If the passenger and/or rear seats have

been removed, do not ride in those areas. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

 If this vehicle was not factory equipped with

a passenger seat, NEVER attempt to install a passenger seat because the safety systems, including the air bags and seat belt, may not properly protect you.

(Continued)

Page 39

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 37

WARNING! (Continued)

 It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area,

inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in this area are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.

 Only ride in available seating positions

equipped with seat belt systems. Always properly wear your seat belt. Failure to do so could result in an increased risk of serious injury or death in the event of an accident.

 Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat

and using a seat belt properly. Occupants, including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an air bag is also provided at their seating positions to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 All occupants, including the driver, should

not operate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat if the head restraints are not in place of their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of a crash.

PASSENGER SEAT EASY ENTRY

On the passenger seat, pull forward on the lever located on the side of the seatback in order to dump the seatback and slide the seat forward. You can also temporarily remove the seat belt from the guide loop on the seat and allow the seat belt to retract out of the way. This allows for easier access to the rear seat. To return the seat to a normal seating position, first return the seatback to its original recline location and then slide the entire seat back to the preset lock position.

Easy Entry Lever

NOTE:

 The front passenger seat needs to slide back

to a preset position for the fore-aft adjuster to be properly locked. For example, if the front passenger has the seat adjusted full rear and exits the vehicle to let a rear passenger enter using the easy entry handle, the fore-aft adjuster needs to slide back about 2/3 of the way rearward to hit the lock position. If the adjuster is not returned to this preset position, the seat will appear to be loose.

 Also, if the front passenger uses the easy entry

handle and then lifts up the recliner handle without moving the seat back to its original preset position, the recliner will not lock until it is moved to the full recline position.

IDENTIFYING WHETHER YOU HAVE A

OLLING CODE OR NON-ROLLING CODE

EVICE

Before programming a device to one of your HomeLink® buttons, you must determine whether the device has a rolling code or non-rolling code.

Rolling Code Devices

To determine if your device has a rolling code, a good indicator is its manufacturing date. Typically, devices manufactured after 1995 have rolling codes. A device with a rolling code will also have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button located where the antenna is attached to the device. The button may not be immediately visible when looking at the device. The name and color of the button may vary slightly by manufacturer.

NOTE: The “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button is not the button you normally use to operate the device.

Non-Rolling Code Devices

Most devices manufactured before 1995 will not have a rolling code. These devices will also not have a “LEARN” or “TRAIN” button.

PROGRAMMING HOMELINK® TO A

ARAGE DOOR OPENER

To program any of the HomeLink® buttons to activate your garage door opener motor, follow the steps below:

NOTE: All HomeLink® buttons are programmed using this procedure. You do not need to erase all channels when programming additional buttons.

BATTERY SAVER ON/BATTERY SAVER

ODE MESSAGE — ELECTRICAL LOAD

EDUCTION ACTIONS — IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical system and status of the vehicle battery.

In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.

Load reduction is only active when the engine is running. It will display a message if there is a risk of battery depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the instrument cluster.

These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.

Page 77

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 75

NOTE:

 The charging system is independent from

load reduction. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the charging system continuously.

 If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it

may indicate a problem with the charging system Ú page 77.

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped), and vehicle functions which can be affected by load reduction:

 Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel

 Heated/Cooled Cup Holders — If Equipped

 Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors

 HVAC System

 115 Volts AC Power Inverter System

 Audio and Telematics System

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the following conditions:

 The charging system cannot deliver enough

electrical power to the vehicle system because the electrical loads are larger than the capability of the charging system. The charging system is still functioning properly.

 Turning on all possible vehicle electrical

loads (e.g. HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, overloaded power outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports) during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing, frequent stopping).

 Installing options like additional lights,

upfitter electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar devices.

 Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated

by long parking periods).

 The vehicle was parked for an extended

period of time (weeks, months).

 The battery was recently replaced and was

not charged completely.

 The battery was discharged by an electrical

load left on when the vehicle was parked.

 The battery was used for an extended period

with the engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers, +12 Volts portable appliances like vacuum cleaners, game consoles and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction action message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode”)

During a trip:

 Reduce power to unnecessary loads if

possible:

 Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)

 Check what may be plugged in to power

outlets +12 Volts, 115 Volts AC, USB ports

 Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)

 Check the audio settings (volume)

Page 78

76 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

After a trip:

 Check if any aftermarket equipment was

installed (additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load and Ignition Off Draw currents).

 Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance,

driving time and parking time).

 The vehicle should have service performed if

the message is still present during consecutive trips and the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not help to identify the cause.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are indicative and precautionary and as such must not be considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to the information in this chapter in the event of a failure indication. All active telltales will display first if applicable.

The system check menu may appear different based upon equipment options and current vehicle status. Some telltales are optional and may not appear.

RED WARNING LIGHTS

Air Bag Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault with the air bag, and will turn on for four to eight seconds as

a bulb check when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single chime when a fault with the air bag has been detected, it will stay on until the fault is cleared. If the light is either not on during startup, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various

brake functions, including brake fluid

level and parking brake application. If

the brake light turns on it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.

If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.

The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level.

The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

problem is detected while the vehicle is running, the light will either stay on or flash depending on the nature of the problem. Cycle the ignition when the vehicle is safely and completely stopped and the transmission is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If the light remains on with the vehicle running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

NOTE: This light may turn on if the accelerator and brake pedals are pressed at the same time.

If the light continues to flash when the vehicle 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. The light will come on when the ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/RUN position and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on

during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer.

Engine Coolant Temperature Warning Light

This warning light warns of an overheated engine condition. If the engine coolant temperature is too

high, this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. If the temperature reaches the upper limit, a continuous chime will sound for four minutes or until the engine is able to cool, whichever comes first.

If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the Air Conditioning (A/ C) system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the vehicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service Ú page 269.

Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Warning Light (MIL)

The Engine Check/Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is a part of an Onboard Diagnostic System called

OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. This warning light will illuminate when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the ignition switch from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.

Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several typical driving styles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.

When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible if this occurs.

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher temperatures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control system. It also could affect fuel economy and driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

Service AWD Warning Light — If Equipped

This telltale will turn on to indicate the All Wheel Drive (AWD) system is not functioning properly and that service is required. Contact an authorized dealer.

Page 83

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 81

Service Forward Collision Warning (FCW) Light — If Equipped

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a fault in the Forward Collision Warning System. Contact an authorized dealer for service Úpage 208.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Warning Light

The warning light switches on and a message is displayed to indicate that the tire pressure is lower than the

recommended value and/or that slow pressure loss is occurring. In these cases, optimal tire duration and fuel consumption may not be guaranteed.

Should one or more tires be in the condition mentioned above, the display will show the indications corresponding to each tire.

CAUTION!

Do not continue driving with one or more flat tires as handling may be compromised. Stop the vehicle, avoiding sharp braking and steering. If a tire puncture occurs, repair immediately using the dedicated tire repair kit and contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

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 TPMS that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly underinflated. 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 underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.

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 underinflation 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 upon subsequent vehicle start-ups 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.

Page 84

82 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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. Using aftermarket tire sealants may cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor to become inoperable. After using an aftermarket tire sealant it is recommended that you take your vehicle to an authorized dealer to have your sensor function checked.

This indicator light will illuminate to indicate that the high beam headlights are on. With the low beams

activated, push the multifunction lever forward (toward the front of the vehicle) to turn on the high beams. Pull the multifunction lever rearward (toward the rear of the vehicle) to turn off the high beams. If the high beams are off, pull the lever toward you for a temporary high beam on, "flash to pass" scenario.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM — OBD II

Your vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated Onboard Diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and transmission control systems. When these systems are operating properly, your vehicle will provide excellent performance and fuel economy, as well as engine emissions well within current government regulations.

Page 86

84 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

If any of these systems require service, the OBD II system will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). It will also store diagnostic codes and other information to assist your service technician in making repairs. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

 Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause

further damage to the emission control system. It could also affect fuel economy and driveability. The vehicle must be serviced before any emissions tests can be performed.

 If the MIL is flashing while the vehicle is

running, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II) C

Your vehicle is required to have OBD II and a connection port to allow access to information related to the performance of your emissions controls. Authorized service technicians may need to access this information to assist with the diagnosis and service of your vehicle and emissions system Ú page 132.

 ONLY an authorized service technician

should connect equipment to the OBD II connection port in order to read the VIN, diagnose, or service your vehicle.

 If unauthorized equipment is connected to

the OBD II connection port, such as a driver-behavior tracking device, it may:

 Be possible that vehicle systems,

 Access, or allow others to access, infor-

mation stored in your vehicle systems, including personal information.

EMISSIONS INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

In some localities, it may be a legal requirement to pass an inspection of your vehicle's emissions control system. Failure to pass could prevent vehicle registration.

For states that require an Inspection

and Maintenance (I/M), this check

verifies the Malfunction Indicator

Light (MIL) is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD II system is ready for testing.

Normally, the OBD II system will be ready. The OBD II system may not be ready if your vehicle was recently serviced, recently had a dead battery or a battery replacement. If the OBD II system should be determined not ready for the I/M test, your vehicle may fail the test.

Your vehicle has a simple ignition actuated test, which you can use prior to going to the test station. To check if your vehicle's OBD II system is ready, you must do the following:

1. Cycle the ignition switch to the ON position,

but do not crank or start the engine.

Page 87

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 85

NOTE: If you crank or start the engine, you will have to start this test over.

2. As soon as you cycle the ignition switch to the ON position, you will see the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) symbol come on as part of a normal bulb check.

3. Approximately 15 seconds later, one of two things will happen:

 The MIL will flash for about 10 seconds

and then return to being fully illuminated until you turn OFF the ignition or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is not ready and you should not proceed to the I/M station.

 The MIL will not flash at all and will

remain fully illuminated until you place the ignition in the off position or start the engine. This means that your vehicle's OBD II system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station.

If your OBD II system is not ready, you should see an authorized dealer or repair facility. If your vehicle was recently serviced or had a battery failure or replacement, you may need to do nothing more than drive your vehicle as you normally would in order for your OBD II system to update. A recheck with the above test routine may then indicate that the system is now ready.

Regardless of whether your vehicle's OBD II system is ready or not, if the MIL is illuminated during normal vehicle operation you should have your vehicle serviced before going to the I/M station. The I/M station can fail your vehicle because the MIL is on with the engine running.

AUTOPARK

AutoPark is a supplemental feature to assist in placing the vehicle in PARK should the situations on the following pages occur. It is a back up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.

The conditions under which AutoPark will engage are outlined on the following pages.

WARNING!

 Driver inattention could lead to failure to

place the vehicle in PARK. ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK that your vehicle is in PARK by verifying that a solid (not blinking) “P” is indicated in the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. If the “P” indicator is blinking, your vehicle is not in PARK. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

 AutoPark is a supplemental feature. It is not

designed to replace the need to shift your vehicle into PARK. It is a back up system and should not be relied upon as the primary method by which the driver shifts the vehicle into PARK.

If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver turns off the engine, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:

 Vehicle is equipped with an eight-speed

transmission

 Vehicle is not in PARK

Page 91

STARTING AND OPERATING 89

 Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less

 Ignition switched from RUN to ACC

NOTE: For Keyless Enter-N-Go equipped vehicles, the engine will turn off and the ignition switch will change to ACC mode. After 30 minutes, the ignition switches to OFF automatically, unless the driver turns the ignition switch OFF.

If the vehicle is not in PARK and the driver exits the vehicle with the engine running, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage when all of these conditions are met:

 Vehicle is equipped with an eight-speed

transmission

 Vehicle is not in PARK

 Vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less

 Driver’s seat belt is unbuckled

 Driver’s door is ajar

 Brake pedal is not pressed

The message “AutoPark Engaged Shift to P then Shift to Gear” will display in the instrument cluster.

NOTE: In some cases the ParkSense graphic will be displayed in the instrument cluster. In these cases, the gear selector must be returned to “P” to select desired gear.

If the driver shifts into PARK while moving, the vehicle may AutoPark.

AutoPark will engage ONLY when vehicle speed is 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h) or less.

The message “Vehicle Speed is Too High to Shift to P” will be displayed in the instrument cluster if vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h).

WARNING!

If vehicle speed is above 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h), the transmission will default to NEUTRAL until the vehicle speed drops below 1.2 mph (1.9 km/h). A vehicle left in the NEUTRAL position can roll. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

ALWAYS DO A VISUAL CHECK

that your vehicle is in PARK by looking for the "P" in the instrument cluster display and on the gear selector. As an added precaution, always apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION

ELOW –22°F OR −30°C)

To ensure reliable starting at these temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from an authorized dealer) is recommended.

IF ENGINE FAILS TO START

If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” or “Cold Weather Operation” procedure, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there. Crank the engine for no more than 15 seconds. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded. Leave the ignition key in the RUN position, release the accelerator pedal and repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.

Page 92

90 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING!

 Never pour fuel or other flammable liquid

into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle. This could result in flash fire causing serious personal injury.

 Do not attempt to push or tow your vehicle

to get it started. Vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission cannot be started this way. Unburned fuel could enter the catalytic converter and once the engine has started, ignite and damage the converter and vehicle.

 If the vehicle has a discharged battery,

booster cables may be used to obtain a start from a booster battery or the battery in another vehicle. This type of start can be dangerous if done improperly Ú page 267.

CAUTION!

To prevent damage to the starter, do not continuously crank the engine for more than 25 seconds at a time. Wait 60 seconds before trying again.

AFTER STARTING

The idle speed is controlled automatically, and it will decrease as the engine warms up.

ENGINE BLOCK HEATER — IF EQUIPPED

The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather. Connect the cord to a standard 110-115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.

The engine block heater must be plugged in at least one hour to have an adequate warming effect on the engine.

The engine block heater cord is routed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle. It has a removable cap that is located near the air box.

WARNING!

Remember to disconnect the engine block heater cord before driving. Damage to the 110-115 Volt electrical cord could cause electrocution.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS —

3.6L & 5.7L

A long break-in period is not required for the drivetrain (engine, transmission, clutch, and rear axle) in your new 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. However, wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be detrimental and should be avoided.

The engine oil, transmission fluid, and axle lubricant installed at the factory are high-quality and energy-conserving. Oil, fluid, and lubricant changes should be consistent with anticipated climate and conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality grades Ú page 341.

Page 93

STARTING AND OPERATING 91

CAUTION!

Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.

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. Please check your oil level with the engine oil indicator often during the break in period. Add oil as required.

PARKING BRAKE

Before leaving the vehicle, make sure that the parking brake is fully applied and place the gear selector in the PARK or REVERSE (manual transmission only) position.

When the parking brake is applied and the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position, the “Brake Warning Light” in the instrument cluster will illuminate.

NOTE:

 When the parking brake is applied and the

transmission is placed in gear, the “Brake Warning Light” will flash. If vehicle speed is detected, a chime will sound to alert the driver. Fully release the parking brake before attempting to move the vehicle.

 This light only shows that the parking brake is

applied. It does not show the degree of brake application.

When parking on a hill, it is important to turn the front wheels toward the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. For vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission, apply the parking brake before placing the gear selector in PARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the gear selector out of PARK. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.

Manual Transmission — If Equipped

The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. To release the parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle.

Parking Brake Release

Automatic Transmission — If Equipped

The foot operated parking brake is located below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. To apply the parking brake, firmly push the parking brake pedal fully. To release the

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substi-

tute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

 When exiting the vehicle, always remove

the key fob from the ignition and lock your vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

 When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the keyless ignition node is in the OFF mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle and lock the vehicle.

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the

vehicle or in a location accessible to children, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

 Be sure the parking brake is fully disen-

gaged before driving; failure to do so can lead to brake failure and a collision.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 Always fully apply the parking brake when

leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury. Also be certain to leave the transmission in PARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury.

CAUTION!

If the Brake Warning Light remains on with the parking brake released, a brake system malfunction is indicated. Have the brake system serviced by an authorized dealer immediately.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION

WARNING!

You or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should always be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.

Page 95

CAUTION!

 Never drive with your foot resting on the

clutch pedal, or try to hold the vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal partially engaged, as this will cause abnormal wear on the clutch Ú page 203.

 Failure to press the clutch pedal fully to the

floor may cause increased shift efforts, and may result in damage to the clutch and transmission.

 Do not rest your hand on the gear selector

while driving, as this may result in transmission synchronizer damage.

 Do not attempt to shift the transmission if

the rear wheels are spinning due to loss of traction. Damage to the transmission may occur.

NOTE: During cold weather, you may experience increased effort in shifting until the transmission fluid warms up. This is normal.

Manual Gear Selector

SHIFTING

Fully press the clutch pedal and lift your foot off the accelerator pedal before shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly press the accelerator pedal. Damage to the transmission or clutch may occur if you do not fully press the clutch pedal and lift off of the accelerator pedal when shifting.

STARTING AND OPERATING 93

Shift Pattern

The six-speed manual transmission has a spring that centers the gear selector near THIRD and FOUTH gear. This spring helps you know which gear you are in when you are shifting. Be careful when shifting from FIRST to SECOND or downshifting from SIXTH to FIFTH.

Page 96

94 STARTING AND OPERATING

The spring will try to pull the gear selector toward THIRD and FOURTH gear. Make sure you move the gear selector into SECOND or FIFTH gear. If you let the gear selector move in the direction of the pulling, you may end shifting from FIRST to FOURTH or from SIXTH to THIRD gear.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS

Axle Ratio 1-4 4-5 5-6

3.90

Earlier upshifts during cruise conditions (relatively steady speeds) may result in increased fuel economy.

Higher upshift speeds may be used to obtain a desired acceleration rate.

NOTE:

 Your vehicle is equipped with a transmission

reverse inhibitor system. Always depress the clutch pedal fully to the floor before shifting into REVERSE. When vehicle speed is greater than 3 mph (5 km/h), the reverse inhibitor activates to help prevent shifts into

mph 20 37 48

km/h 32 59 77

CAUTION!

Always make sure the vehicle comes to a complete stop before shifting into REVERSE. Failure to do so may result in transmission damage.

REVERSE. When at a complete stop, you may notice lighter shift efforts into REVERSE with the ignition switch in the ON position (RUN position for Keyless Enter-N-Go), as compared to the ignition LOCK position (OFF position for Keyless Enter-N-Go). This is normal operation of the transmission reverse inhibitor system.

 Due to the high performance nature of your

drivetrain, you may hear your transmission. This can be most noticeable when the vehicle is idling in NEUTRAL with the clutch engaged (clutch pedal released), but it may also be heard when driving at low engine RPM. Also,

You must always use FIRST gear (or REVERSE) when starting from a standing position.

RECOMMENDED SHIFT SPEEDS

To utilize your manual transmission efficiently for fuel economy, it should be upshifted as listed in recommended shift speed chart.

this may be more noticeable when the transmission is warm. This is a normal condition and is not an indication of a problem with your clutch or transmission.

1–4 SKIP SHIFT

In Auto Drive Mode, Default, or Street Drive Modes, there are times when you must shift the transmission directly from FIRST gear to FOURTH gear instead of from FIRST gear to SECOND gear. This is to help you get the best possible fuel economy from your vehicle. This occurs when the engine coolant (antifreeze) is higher than 106°F (41°C), vehicle speed is

Page 97

STARTING AND OPERATING 95

greater than 19 mph (30 km/h) but less than 21 mph (34 km/h), and the transmission is in FIRST gear, and the accelerator is at ¼ throttle or less.

After you shift the transmission to FOURTH gear, you can press the clutch in and shift to another forward gear.

DOWNSHIFTING

To maintain a safe speed and prolong brake life, downshift to maintain a safe speed when descending a steep grade.

WARNING!

Skipping more than one gear while downshifting, could cause you to lose control of your vehicle. You could have a collision.

CAUTION!

 If you skip more than one gear while down-

shifting or downshift at too high an engine speed, you could damage the engine, transmission, or clutch.

(Continued)

CAUTION! (Continued)

 Do not downshift into FIRST gear when the

vehicle is moving faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), as you could damage the engine and/or clutch.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION — IF EQUIPPED

You must press and hold the brake pedal while shifting out of PARK.

WARNING!

 Never use the PARK position as a substi-

tute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when exiting the vehicle to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.

 Your vehicle could move and injure you and

others if it is not in PARK. Check by trying to move the transmission gear selector out of PARK with the brake pedal released. Make sure the transmission is in PARK before exiting the vehicle.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 The transmission may not engage PARK if

the vehicle is moving. Always bring the vehicle to a complete stop before shifting to PARK, and verify that the transmission gear position indicator solidly indicates PARK (P) without blinking. Ensure that the vehicle is completely stopped, and the PARK position is properly indicated, before exiting the vehicle.

 It is dangerous to shift out of PARK or

NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly pressing the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse. You could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something. Only shift into gear when the engine is idling normally and your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

(Continued)

Page 98

96 STARTING AND OPERATING

WARNING! (Continued)

 Unintended movement of a vehicle could

injure those in or near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, always come to a complete stop, then apply the parking brake, shift the transmission into PARK, and turn the ignition OFF. When the ignition is in the OFF mode, the transmission is locked in PARK, securing the vehicle against unwanted movement.

 When exiting the vehicle, always make sure

the ignition is in the OFF mode, remove the key fob from the vehicle, and lock the vehicle.

 Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

 Do not leave the key fob in or near the

vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), and do not leave the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

CAUTION!

 Shift into or out of PARK or REVERSE only

after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

 Do not shift between PARK, REVERSE,

NEUTRAL, or DRIVE when the engine is above idle speed.

 Before shifting into any gear, make sure

your foot is firmly pressing the brake pedal.

IGNITION PARK INTERLOCK

This vehicle is equipped with an Ignition Park Interlock which requires the transmission to be in PARK before the ignition can be turned to the OFF mode. This helps the driver avoid inadvertently leaving the vehicle without placing

the transmission in PARK. This system also locks the transmission in PARK whenever the ignition is in the OFF mode.

NOTE: The transmission is NOT locked in PARK when the ignition is in the ACC mode (even though the engine will be off). Ensure that the transmission is in PARK, and the ignition is OFF (not in ACC mode) before exiting the vehicle.

BRAKE TRANSMISSION SHIFT

NTERLOCK (BTSI) S YSTEM

This vehicle is equipped with a BTSI system that holds the transmission gear selector in PARK unless the brakes are applied. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal must be pressed. The brake pedal must also be pressed to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds.

EIGHT -SPEED AUTOMATIC

RANSMISSION

The transmission gear range is displayed both on the gear selector and in the instrument cluster. To select a gear range, push the lock button on the gear selector and move the

Page 99

STARTING AND OPERATING 97

selector rearward or forward. To shift the transmission out of PARK, the engine must be running and the brake pedal must be pressed. You must also press the brake pedal to shift from NEUTRAL into DRIVE or REVERSE when the vehicle is stopped or moving at low speeds. Select the DRIVE range for normal driving.

NOTE:

 The transmission electronics are self-cali-

brating; therefore, the first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition, and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).

 In the event of a mismatch between the gear

selector position and the actual transmission gear (for example, driver selects PARK while driving), the position indicator will blink continuously until the selector is returned to the proper position, or the requested shift can be completed.

The electronically-controlled transmission adapts its shift schedule based on driver inputs, along with environmental and road conditions.

Only shift from DRIVE to PARK or REVERSE when the accelerator pedal is released and the vehicle is stopped. Be sure to keep your foot on the brake pedal when shifting between these gears.

The transmission gear selector provides PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, and MANUAL (AutoStick) shift positions. Manual shifts can be made using the AutoStick shift control. Toggling the gear selector forward (-) or rearward (+) while in the MANUAL (AutoStick) position (beside the DRIVE position) will manually select the transmission gear, and will display the current gear in the instrument cluster Ú page 100.

Automatic Transmission Gear Selector

NOTE: If the gear selector cannot be moved to the PARK, REVERSE, or NEUTRAL position (when pushed forward) it is probably in the MANUAL (AutoStick, +/-) position (beside the DRIVE position). In MANUAL (AutoStick) mode, the transmission gear is displayed in the instrument cluster (as M1, M2, M3, etc.). Move the gear selector to the right (into the DRIVE [D] position) for access to PARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL.

Gear Ranges

Do not press the accelerator pedal when shifting out of PARK (P) or NEUTRAL (N).

NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold.

PARK (P)

This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never attempt to use PARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when exiting the vehicle in this range.

Page 100
