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.

GETTING STARTED

WARNING!

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A child could start the vehicle, operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.

• Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build-up may cause them to be severely injured or killed.

• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause serious injury or death.

REMOTE START

• Press the REMOTE START button Pressing the REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.

• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.

• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the ignition Key Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position.

• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.

on the Key Fob twice within five seconds.

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 severely injured or killed.

GETTING STARTED

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.).

• The seat belts for both front seating positions are 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 air bag 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.

GETTING STARTED

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.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a window.

• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side impact.

• This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Side Knee Air Bag to provide enhanced protection and work together with the Driver Advanced Front Air Bag during a frontal impact.

If the Air Bag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on 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 Supple-

mental Restraint System (SRS).

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.

•

Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags 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 Air Bag Inflatable Curtain and/or Seat-Mounted Side Air Bag during deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.

• 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–SEAT-CHECK

• (1–866–732–8243).

•

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

mation http://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/roadsafety/safedrivers-childsafety-index-53.htm.

Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System

Each vehicle, except commercial cargo vehicles, is equipped with the child restraint

• anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and Tether for CHildren.

• Two LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed on all second-row seats and in the center position on all third row fold-in-floor seats.

• Second-row seats also feature tether strap anchorages, located in the rear surface of the seatback.

• In addition, all third row fold-in-floor seats are equipped with a child restraint tether anchor at the center seating position.

Installing The Lower Attachments:

• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat cushion where it meets the seatback.

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on the lower child restraint attachment straps to ease the installation.

NOTE:

It is recommended to loosen the top tether strap and route it loosely prior to securing the lower anchors so the top tether strap is not trapped between the vehicle seat and child restraint.

•

Attach the lower child restraint attachment straps to the vehicle’s lower anchor bars. Ensure that the lower attachment strap is firmly engaged and that the hook is secure.

•

Tighten the lower attachment strap while firmly pushing the child restraint rearward and downward into the vehicle seat. Remove all slack in the lower attachment straps.

GETTING STARTED

Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt):

•

Route the top tether strap under the adjustable head restraint between the steel posts.

•

Provide enough slack for the tether strap to reach the tether anchor located near the bottom of the seat back.

•

Clip tether hook to tether anchor. Ensure that the hook is firmly engaged and secure.

•

Remove all slack and tighten tether strap according to child restraint manufacturer’s instructions.

NOTE:

The top tether strap is always to be secured, regardless of if the child restraint is installed with the lower anchors or the vehicle seat belt.

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.

• Once you have completed securing the child restraint with the seat belt, secure the top tether 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.

• Failure to comply with the following conditions could result in you and others being severely injured or killed:

• Be certain that the seat cushion is locked securely into position before

using the seat. An improperly latched seat cushion could cause passengers to be severely injured or killed.

• 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.

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!
