ENGINE START/STOP Button Functions — With
Driver’s Foot OFF The Brake Pedal (In PARK Or
NEUTRAL Position)
The ENGINE START/STOP button operates similar
to an ignition switch by providing three positions:
OFF, ACC and RUN. To change the ignition mode
without starting the vehicle (to power certain accesso-
ries), follow these steps:
1. Starting with the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button once,
without brake pedal being pressed, to place the
ignition in the ACC mode (instrument cluster will
display “ACC”).
3. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a second
time, without brake pedal being pressed, to place
the ignition in the RUN mode (instrument cluster
will display “Ignition or Accessory On”).
NOTE:
• The vehicle is not able to be driven in the “Igni-
tion or Accessory On” mode, see “Achieving
Vehicle Is Ready To Drive Mode Using the EN-
GINE START / STOP Button” previously de-
fined in this section for further information.
• The rotary gear selector will turn but only PARK
and NEUTRAL are accessible in the “Ignition or
Accessory On” mode.
4. Push the ENGINE START/STOP button a third
time, without brake pedal being pressed, to return
the ignition to the OFF mode (instrument cluster
will display “OFF”).
STARTING AND
OPERATING

To Turn Off The Vehicle Using ENGINE START/
STOP Button
1. Place the gear selector in PARK, then push and
release the ENGINE START/STOP button.
2. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position.
3. If the gear selector is not in PARK, the ENGINE
START/STOP button must be held for two sec-
onds, or pushed three short times in a row, with the
vehicle speed above 5 mph (8 km/h) before the
engine will shut off. The ignition switch position will
remain in the ACC position until the gear selector
is in PARK and the button is pushed twice to the
OFF position. If the gear selector is not in PARK
and the ENGINE START/STOP button is pushed
once, the instrument cluster display will display a
“Vehicle Not In Park” message and the engine will
remain running. Never leave a vehicle out of the
PARK position, or it could roll. The vehicle will also
remain in propulsion system active mode.
NOTE:
If the outside ambient temperature is 32°F (0°C) or
below, the instrument cluster will request the vehicle to
be plugged to provide conditioning of the vehicle.
Automatic Shutdown
This vehicle is equipped with an automatic shutdown
feature. If the vehicle is left in READY mode (vehicle
running) with the gear selector in PARK for one hour
after the driver exits, this feature will automatically turn
the vehicle off. Notifications have been added into this
feature to raise awareness of the timed event:
• In the interior of the vehicle, the instrument cluster
will display “Vehicle is Ready To Drive”, and will be
accompanied by three audible chimes while exit-
ing. These interior warnings will occur regardless of
whether the key fob remains in the vehicle or is
removed.
• For the exterior of the vehicle, the horn will sound
three times if the fob is removed from the vehicle
and the vehicle is in the “READY” mode.
Please consider this feature when intentionally running
the vehicle for extended periods of time over one
hour. To restart the vehicle, follow the normal vehicle
starting process.
NOTE:
If the vehicle is left in the ACC or RUN (engine not
running) position and the transmission is in PARK, the
system will automatically time out (shut down) after an
initial 60 minutes of inactivity, followed by the addi-
tional amount of time for power accessory delay se-
lected in the radio settings menu. Once the vehicle
times out, it will switch to the OFF position.
For further information, and applicable warnings and
cautions, please refer to the Owner’s Manual at

(U.S. Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian
Residents).

SafeHold — Electric Park
Brake
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric Park Brake
System that will engage the park brake automatically if
the vehicle is left unsecured. If the automatic transmis-
sion is not in PARK, the seat belt is unbuckled, the
driver door is open, the vehicle is at a standstill, and
there is no attempt to depress the brake pedal or
accelerator pedal, the park brake will automatically
engage to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
SafeHold can be temporarily bypassed by pushing the
Electric Park Brake Switch while the driver door is open
and brake pedal is pressed. Once manually bypassed,
SafeHold will be enabled again once the vehicle
reaches 12 mph (20 km/h) or the ignition is cycled to
the OFF position and back to ON again.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with an automatic
hill parking grade feature. If the vehicle is placed in
park on moderate to steep grade, the electric park
brake has been designed to automatically apply when
necessary. When this occurs, a message will display in
the cluster, and the “BRAKE” lamp and parking brake
selector button will illuminate to indicate activation.
The electric parking brake will automatically release
when shifting out of park if your seatbelt is buckled.
Additionally, the driver will always have the ability to
manually release the electric parking brake by first
pressing brake pedal, and then pushing the selector
button on the console.
Refueling The Vehicle
1. Press the fuel filler door release button (located in
the driver’s door). A message will display in the
cluster letting you know when the vehicle is ready to
be fueled.
Fuel Filler Door Release Switch

NOTE:
The fuel door may take up to 15 seconds to open by the
release switch. Once open, the instrument cluster will
display a message signaling that the vehicle is ready for
fueling. After pushing the release switch, you will have
20 minutes to fuel the vehicle. Beyond 20 minutes, you
will need to push the release switch again. In extreme
conditions such as in high ambient temperatures, it may
take longer than 15 seconds to open the fuel door due to
the pressure built up in the fuel tank.
2. Open the fuel filler door.
NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel
door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on the
fuel door to break the ice buildup and re-release the
fuel door using the inside release button located inside
the vehicle on the driver’s side door. Do not pry on the
door. There is no fuel filler cap. A flapper door inside
the pipe seals the system.
3. Insert the fuel nozzle fully into the filler pipe; the
nozzle opens and holds the flapper door while
refueling.
4. Fill the vehicle with fuel. When the fuel nozzle
“clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full.
5. Wait five seconds before removing the fuel nozzle
to allow fuel to drain from nozzle.
6. Remove the fuel nozzle and close the fuel door.
Trailer Towing
Trailer towing is not permitted with this vehicle.
