DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of
accidents.
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.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your
perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,
and your judgment is impaired when you have been
drinking. Never drink and then drive.
This manual illustrates and describes the operation of
features and equipment that are either standard or optional
on this vehicle. This manual 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 manual that are
not 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 obliga-
tion upon itself to install them on products previously

INTRODUCTION
This booklet is a supplement to the Owner’s Manual
prepared with the assistance of service and engineering
specialists, and is intended to aid the operators of police
or fleet vehicles (used in severe duty, high-mileage op-
erations) in understanding the operation and required
maintenance procedures for such vehicles. It covers
maintenance procedures for vehicles equipped with
heavy-duty packages. However, other vehicles operated
under the conditions listed below are also considered
“severe service” vehicles, and should be serviced and
maintained as prescribed in this booklet. You are urged to
read this publication and the Owner’s Manual carefully.
Refer to the Police Upfitter’s Guide provided with your
vehicle, prior to the addition of any aftermarket equip-
ment.
Following the instructions and recommendations pro-
vided herein, will help assure safe and reliable operation
of your vehicle. After you have read the booklet, it should
be stored in the vehicle for convenient reference and
