WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your
reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.

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. FCA US LLC strongly
recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take
their attention o the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, 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 o 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.
IMPORTANT: This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the
important features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s
Manual, Navigation/Uconnect Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and
Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance
(new vehicles purchased in Canada) in electronic format. We hope you
find it useful. U.S. residents can purchase replacement DVD kits by visiting
www.techauthority.com and Canadian residents can purchase replacement DVD kits by
calling 1-800-387-1143.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Chrysler
Brand Vehicle and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions.
However, it is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual. For complete operational
instructions, maintenance procedures and important safety messages, please consult
your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect Manuals and other Warning Labels in your
vehicle. Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional
information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit mopar.com (U.S.),
mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Chrysler brand dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL: Drunken driving is one of the most frequent
causes of collisions. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WELCOME FROM FCA US LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US LLC (“FCA US”) vehicle. Be assured that it
represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Your new FCA US 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. FCA US
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.
FCA US 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.

VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA
With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be
deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution (excluding legal lines).
WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of
serious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference with
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of the vehicle.
• 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 seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children. A
child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
USE OF AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS (ELECTRONICS)
The use of aftermarket devices including cell phones, MP3 players, GPS systems, or chargers
may affect the performance of on-board wireless features including Keyless Enter-N-Go and
Remote Start range. If you are experiencing difficulties with any of your wireless features, try
disconnecting your aftermarket devices to see if the situation improves. If your symptoms persist,
please see an authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your authorized dealer knows your vehicle best, has
factory-trained technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your satisfaction.
