NITRO FeaTUReS

Nitro’s class-exclusive* standard fold-down front-passenger and rear 65/35-split fold-

ing seats provide the exibility you need to carry it all without compromise—from ve

full-sized adults to an 8-foot-long stack of boards.

lOaD ’N gO™

Nitro’s class-exclusive* LOAD ’N GO™ cargo oor

(standard on SLT and R/T) slides 18 inches to make

loading heavy or awkward items easier. With a

whopping 400-pound capacity and six cargo tie-downs,

you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

INFOTaINMeNT SYSTeM

Nitro’s available MyGIG™ Multimedia Infotainment System with SIRIUS Satellite

Radio and rst year of service provided by Dodge gives you high tech for the

highway. It features a 6.5-inch full-color touch screen display, voice-activated

GPS navigation with turn-by-turn route guidance and real-time trafc reporting via

SIRIUS, DVD playback,† and integrated USB port for downloading and storing digital

photos and up to 1,600 songs on the internal 20GB hard disk drive.

Why should the driver have all the fun? Nitro’s available

rear DVD entertainment system (available on SLT and

R/T with premium sound system) with auxiliary input

jacks, remote control, and two wireless headsets turns

second-row seating into a rst-class experience. Your

favorite movies and video games come to life on the

crystal-clear 8-inch LCD screen as the stereo sound

pumps through the onboard speakers or wireless head-

sets for miles of mobile entertainment.

CaPaBIlITY

Packing your choice of two powerful V6 engines, sport- or performance-tuned suspensions, part-time four-wheel-drive system, and a 5,000-

pound maximum towing capacity,* Nitro doesn’t play by the rules, it makes them.

eNgINeS

Nitro’s potent 4.0-liter V6 engine delivers its punches through a

standard electronically controlled ve-speed automatic transmis-

sion – the same heavy-duty gearbox found on the mighty 6.1-liter

HEMI®-powered Dodge Magnum SRT8, Charger SRT8, Chrysler 300C

SRT8, and Jeep® Grand Cherokee SRT8.

3.7-liter V6-powered Nitro vehicles can be equipped with an avail-

able four-speed automatic transmission.

TRaNSMISSION

Nitro has your back with the latest available built-in safety and

security features that are not only designed to help protect you and

your passengers in the event of an accident, but also help prevent

the situations that could lead to an accident in the rst place. Nitro’s

standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP)† includes all-speed

traction control, brake assist, and electronic roll mitigation to help

drivers maintain control.

(1)Late availability. (2)Always sit properly in the seat with the seat belt fastened. Always observe the passenger air bag indicator lamp to determine if the

OCS classification is appropriate. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an infant or child restraint system or the seat belt

positioned correctly for the child’s age and weight. (3)Always use seat belts. Children 12 and under should always be in a backseat correctly using an

infant or child restraint system, or the seat belt positioned correctly for the child’s age and size. (4)No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal

the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect.
