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. Never text while driving
or take your eyes more than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that
are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide 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 guide that are not available on this vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the
right to make changes in design and specifications and/or make additions to or
improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install
them on products previously manufactured.
The User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with
the important features of your vehicle. It contains most everything you will need to
operate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information
which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia
DVD also includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player
(including the Media Center Touch-Screen Radios). Additional DVD operational
information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in the
owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your convenience,
the information contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future
reference.
Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural
resources. By converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the
user information for your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for
tree-based products and lessen the stress on our environment.

is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and 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.

GETTING STARTED
InformationProvidedby:
• 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 may be 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 airbag must be replaced immediately.
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) — AIRBAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced
Front Airbags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Airbags 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 Airbags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag 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 Airbags
to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side
impact.
• If the Airbag Warning Light

InformationProvidedby:
WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belts even though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including
death. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your
arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Airbags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the
door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain
and/or Seat-Mounted Side Airbag during deployment could cause you to
be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are
involved in another collision, the airbags 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
in the rear seat outboard positions.
• LATCH equipped seating positions have both lower anchor bars, located at
the back of the seat cushion, and tether strap anchorages, located behind the
seat back.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be
readily identified by the symbol
anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint.

InformationProvidedby:
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and on the tether
strap so that you can more easily
attach the hooks or connectors to
the vehicle anchors.
• Attach the lower hooks or
connectors over the top of the
seatcover material.
• Then tighten the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) Regular Cab - Front Seat:
• Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will
reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat.
• Lift the cover (if so equipped), and
attach the hook to the square
opening in the sheet metal.
• Install the child restraint and remove
the slack in the tether strap
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) Crew Cab - Rear Seats:
• Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the
rear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band.
Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly improved by raising the seat cushion
to the “up” position. Remove the elastic before use.
• Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap
so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat and then to the anchor directly behind the center rear seat.
• Pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of
webbing behind the child seat.
• Route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach the
hooks to the metal ring.
• Place a child restraint on the center rear seat and adjust the tether strap so
that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind
the seat and to the anchor directly behind the right seat.

4. Passenger's Side Rear Child Seat
5. Rear Center Child Seat
6. Driver's Side Rear Child 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.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head restraint posts
underneath the head restraint.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and
remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
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.

WARNING! (Continued)
• 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 airbag. An airbag deployment could cause
infants in this position to be severely injured or killed.

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.
ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECT (ERS) OPERATION
• Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows you to limit the highest available
transmission gear, and can be activated during any driving condition. When
towing a trailer or operating the vehicle in off-road conditions, using ERS shift
control will help you maximize both performance and engine braking.
• Toggle the switch on the column shift lever down (-) or up (+) to select the
desired top gear.
• For maximum deceleration (engine braking) toggle the switch on the column
shift lever down (-). Your vehicle will automatically select the lowest safe gear
for optimal engine braking.
• To disable ERS, push and hold the column shift lever switch up (+) until “D” is
displayed in the odometer.
• Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can be done at any vehicle speed.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

• Exhaust braking is most effective when the engine RPM is higher.
NOTE: For optimum braking power, it is recommended to use the exhaust brake
while in TOW/HAUL mode.
CAUTION!
Use of aftermarket exhaust brakes is not recommended and could lead to
engine damage.
WARNING!
Do not use the exhaust brake feature when driving in icy or slippery
conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to
slide and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle
control, which may cause a collision possibly resulting in personal injury or
death.

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.
• Allow the engine to idle with the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged
efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Program (ESP) or
Traction Control
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).
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.
, turn the system off before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.

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.

water into the approved container.
• Close the water drain valve and remove the lid using a socket or strap wrench;
rotate counterclockwise for removal. Remove the used o-ring and discard it.
• Remove the used filter cartridge from the housing and dispose of according to
your local regulations.
• Wipe clean the sealing surfaces of the lid and housing and install the new
o-ring into ring groove on the filter housing and lubricate with clean engine oil.
• Install a new filter in the housing. Push down on the cartridge to ensure it is
properly seated. Do not pre-fill the filter housing with fuel.
• Install the lid onto the housing and tighten to 22.5 ft lbs (30.5 Nm). Do not
overtighten the lid.
• Start the engine and confirm no leaks are present.
CAUTION!
• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an
appropriate container.
• Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a
possibility debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this
action. It is best to install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to
prime the fuel system.
• If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the
engine before you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an
appropriate container.

EXHAUST REGENERATION — DIESEL ONLY
• Under certain conditions, your Cummins®diesel engine and exhaust
after-treatment system may never reach the conditions required to remove the
trapped particulate matter. If this occurs, the “Exhaust System —
Regeneration Required Now” message will be displayed on the EVIC screen in
your cluster and you will hear one chime to alert you of this condition. Driving
your vehicle at highway speeds for as little as 45 minutes can remedy the
condition and allow the engine and exhaust after-treatment system to remove
the trapped particulate matter.
• PLEASE NOTE: Under typical operating conditions, NO indications of
regeneration state will be displayed. If you do reach 80% of filter capacity, the
following messages will assist you in inducing and understanding the
regeneration process.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now
• “Exhaust System—Regeneration Required Now” will be displayed on the EVIC
if the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Exhaust Filter XX% Full
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is approaching full.
Exhaust System — Regeneration in Process
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your
current driving condition until regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is completed. If
this message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of
this condition.
Service Required — See Dealer Now
• Regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction. The Powertrain
control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument panel will
display the MIL light.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer
• The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent
damage to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a
dealer service is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage
can occur. Have your vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
• See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could
occur soon with continued operation.

DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active
component, UREA—is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF
is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a
catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen
and water vapor.
• Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order
to meet the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the
Environmental Protection Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the
first and only technology in decades to be as good for the environment as it is
good for business and vehicle performance.
• The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen
emitted from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an
almost near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are
injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized,
convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and
water vapor (H2O), two natural components of the air we breathe. You can
operate with the comfort that your vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier
world environment for this and generations to come.
System Overview
• This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system
and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission
requirements.
• The DEF injection system consists of the following components:
• DEF tank
• DEF pump
• DEF injector
• DEF control module
• NOx sensors
• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
• The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the achievement of diesel
emissions requirements; while maintaining outstanding fuel economy,
drivability, torque and power ratings.
NOTE: The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge
the DEF system. This is normal operation.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable product with a long
shelf life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° to 90°F (-12° to 32°C), it
will last a minimum of one year.
68
MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
InformationProvidedby:
• DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest temperatures. For example, DEF may
freeze at temperatures at or below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE: When working with DEF, it is important to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into contact with DEF must be DEF
compatible (plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or
non-stainless steel should be avoided as they are subject to corrosion by DEF.
• If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up completely.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
• The DEF gauge (located on the EVIC display) will display the level of DEF
remaining in the tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 75%, add approximately 2.5 gallons (9.5 Liters) to
fill the DEF tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 50%, add approximately 4 gallons (15 Liters) to fill
the DEF tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 25%, add approximately 6 gallons (23 Liters) to fill
the DEF tank.
NOTE: Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the
amount of DEF that is used in your vehicle.

DEF Fill Procedure
• Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of the vehicle).
• Insert DEF container into DEF tank.
CAUTION!
• To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after
filling.
• When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild
solvent.
• Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

CAUTION!
• When installing the integrated power module cover, it is important to
ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the integrated power module and possibly
result in a electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the
correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than
indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.
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.
View
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”. 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.
