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
®
Touchscreen Radios if equipped with DVD player capabilities). 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.

• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor may be inadvertently activated by a child, pet or shifting
package left within the vehicle after the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Push the Keyless Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button until the EVIC/DID indicates that the
vehicle ignition is “OFF” (refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Starting And Operating” in
your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information). Then either push the power door
LOCK switch while the driver or passenger door is open, push the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter LOCK button or push the Passive Entry Door Handle LOCK button (refer
to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your Vehicle” in your
Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information).
To Disarm The System
The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to protect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the Vehicle Security Alarm will give you a false alarm. If one of the
previously-described arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle Security Alarm will arm
regardless of whether you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the vehicle and open
a door, the alarm will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the battery becomes disconnected the Vehicle
Security Alarm will remain armed when the battery is reconnected. The exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Either push the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or insert a valid ignition key into
the ignition switch and turn the key to the ON/RUN position.
NOTE:
• The driver's door key cylinder and the trunk button on the RKE transmitter cannot arm
or disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains armed during trunk entry. Pushing the TRUNK
button will not disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters the vehicle
through the trunk, and opens any door, the alarm will sound.
• When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed, the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
Either push the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter or grasp the Passive Entry Unlock
Door Handle (refer to “Keyless Enter-N-Go™” in “Things To Know Before Starting Your
Vehicle” in your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further information), push the Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ START/STOP button (requires at least one valid Key Fob in the vehicle), or
insert a valid Key Fob into the ignition switch (if the START/STOP button is removed) and
rotate it to the ON/RUN position.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIR BAGS
Air Bag System Components
Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors
• Seat Belt Pretenioners
• Seat Belt Buckle Switch
• Seat Track Position Sensors
• Occupant Classification System
Advanced Front Air Bags
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Air Bags for both the driver and front passenger as a
supplement to the seat belt restraint systems. The Advanced Front Air Bags will not
deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to provide additional protection by supplement-
ing the seat belts. Advanced Front Air Bags are not expected to reduce the risk of injury
in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• The Advanced Front Air Bags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some
that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions,
truck underrides, and angle offset collisions.
• On the other hand, depending on the type and location of impact, Advanced Front Air
Bags may deploy in crashes with little vehicle front-end damage but that produce a
severe initial deceleration.
• Because air bag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and
damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have
deployed.
• Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all collisions, and also are needed to help
keep you in position, away from an inflating air bag.
• The air bags must be ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC) monitors the internal circuits and interconnecting wiring
associated with air bag system electrical components.

• The ORC turns on the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel for approximately
four to eight seconds for a self-check when the ignition switch is first turned to the
ON/RUN position. After the self-check, the Air Bag Warning Light will turn off. If the
ORC detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light, either momentarily or continuously. A single chime will sound to alert you if the
light comes on again after initial startup.
• The ORC monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the air bag system whenever
the ignition switch is in the START or ON/RUN position. If the ignition switch is in the
OFF position or in the ACC position, the air bag system is not on and the air bags will
not inflate.
• If the Air Bag Warning Light in the instrument panel is not on during the four to eight
seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON/RUN position, stays on, or
turns on while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
NOTE:
If the speedometer, tachometer, or any engine related gauges are not working, the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) may also be disabled. In this condition the air bags
may not be ready to inflate for your protection. Have an authorized dealer service the air
bag system immediately.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer immediately.
• 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.
• If it is necessary to modify the air bag system for persons with disabilities, contact your
authorized dealer.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS).
Occupant Classification System
This vehicle is equipped with a right front passenger Occupant Classification System
(“OCS”) that is designed to provide Passenger Advanced Front Air Bag output appropriate
to the occupant’s seated weight input, as determined by the OCS.
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) consists of the following:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Occupant Classification Module (OCM) and Sensor located in the front passenger seat
• Air Bag Warning Light
