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

INTRODUCTION/WELCOME

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.

This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the
important features of your vehicle. It contains most things 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
Uconnect
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.

WARNING!

• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.

• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to be

THEFT ALARM

To Arm:

• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door is
open.

To Disarm:

• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button or turn the ignition to the ON/RUN position.

SEAT BELT

• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.

• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in
the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too
tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of
sliding under the belt in a collision.

• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting
on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.

• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your
shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you could
move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.

• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or modify the
system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision if they have been
damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).

• A deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are
not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others
in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS

• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced Front
Air Bags will not deploy in every type of collision.

• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on several
factors, including the severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Air Bags are
not expected to reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.

• If the Air Bag Warning Light
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immedi­ately.

• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on

WARNING!

• Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have air bags.

• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.

• Do not drive your vehicle after the air bags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the air bags will not be in place to protect you.

• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.

GETTING STARTED

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.

NOTE:

• For additional information, refer to www.seatcheck.org or call 1–866–SEAT­CHECK (1–866–732–8243).

Canadian residents, should refer to Transport Canada’s website for additional

•
informationhttp://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.

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
just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the child restraint.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the
lower straps and on the tether strap so
that you can attach the hooks or con­nectors to the vehicle anchors more
easily.

• 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.

• Lift the cover (if 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.

Child Restraint Installation Sequence (Mega Cab® - Rear Seats):

• 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.

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.

GETTING STARTED

• 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.

• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.

• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger air bag. An air bag deployment could cause severe injury
or death to infants in this position.

FRONT SEATS

Power Seats

• The seat switch controls forward/
backward and up/down.

• The recline switch controls the angle
of the seatback. Push switch forward
or rearward and the seatback will move
in either direction.

Power Lumbar

• The lumbar controls are located on the
outboard side of the seat cushion. The
lumbar support can be increased by
pressing the front of the switch and
decreased by pressing the back of the switch.

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• Adjusting a seat while the vehicle is moving is dangerous. The sudden
movement of the seat could cause you to lose control. The seat belt might not
be properly adjusted, and you could be severely injured or killed. Only adjust a
seat while the vehicle is parked.

• Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing (dump) forward
on manual recliner seats. Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while
actuating the handle. The seatback may swing forward and hit you, causing
injury. This dump feature allows access to the storage bin behind the seat. To
avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback and actuate the handle, then
position the seatback in the desired position.

• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.

WARNING!

•

Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic
illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other
physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause
burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.

• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

HEATED STEERING WHEEL

• The steering wheel contains a heating
element that heats the steering wheel

have a collision. Always adjust the pedals while the vehicle is parked.

23

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission
and axle) in your vehicle.

• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.

• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.

• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy
conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated
climate conditions under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recom­mended viscosity and quality grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.

NOTE:

A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers)
of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not
interpreted as an indication to an engine problem or malfunction.

CAUTION!

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

DIESEL ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

For diesel engine break-in recommendations, refer to Diesel Engine Break-In
Recommendations on pg. 108

and voice text reply features are compatible with many newer Android and
Blackberry phones. Before using, determine if your phone has been tested to
support Bluetooth “Message Access Protocol” (MAP) or AT Messaging Protocol at
