INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler
Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it repre-
sents precision workmanship, distinctive styl-
ing, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read this
Owner’s Manual and all the supplements. Be
sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,
particularly those used for braking, steering,
and transmission shifting. Learn how your ve-
hicle handles on different road surfaces. Your
driving skills will improve with experience, but
as in driving any vehicle, take it easy as you
begin. Always observe local laws wherever you
drive.
NOTE:
After you read the manual, it should be
stored in the vehicle for convenient refer-
ence and remain with the vehicle when sold,
so that the new owner will be aware of all
safety warnings.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or an accident.
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or
while intoxicated may result in loss of control,
collision with other vehicles or objects, going
off the road, or overturning; any of which may
lead to serious injury or death. Also, failure to
use seat belts subjects the driver and passen-
gers to a greater risk of injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its best, have
your vehicle serviced at recommended inter-
vals by an authorized dealer who has the
qualified personnel, special tools, and equip-
ment to perform all service.
The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally
interested in your complete satisfaction with
this vehicle. If you encounter a service or
warranty problem, which is not resolved to your
satisfaction, discuss the matter with your autho-
rized dealer’s management.
Your authorized dealer will be happy to assist
you with any questions about your vehicle.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
ALL MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS PUBLI-
CATION IS BASED ON THE LATEST INFORMA-
TION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICATION
APPROVAL. THE RIGHT IS RESERVED TO
PUBLISH REVISIONS AT ANY TIME.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with
the assistance of service and engineering spe-
cialists to acquaint you with the operation and
maintenance of your new vehicle. It is supple-
mented by a Warranty Information Booklet and
various customer-oriented documents. You are
urged to read these publications carefully. Fol-
lowing the instructions and recommendations
in this Owner’s Manual will help assure safe
and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
After you have read the Owner’s Manual, it
should be stored in the vehicle for convenient
reference and remain with the vehicle when
sold.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make
changes in design and specifications, and/or
to make additions to or improvements in its
products without imposing any obligations
upon itself to install them on products previ-
ously manufactured.
The Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes
the features that are standard or available as
extra cost options. Therefore, some of the

equipment and accessories in this publication
may not appear on your vehicle.
NOTE:
Be sure to read the Owner’s Manual first
before driving your vehicle and before at-
taching or installing parts/accessories or
making other modifications to the vehicle.
In view of the many replacement parts and
accessories from various manufacturers avail-
able on the market, the manufacturer cannot be
certain that the driving safety of your vehicle
will not be impaired by the attachment or instal-
lation of such parts. Even if such parts are
officially-approved (for example, by a general
operating permit for the part or by constructing
the part in an officially approved design), or if
an individual operating permit was issued for
the vehicle after the attachment or installation
of such parts, it cannot be implicitly assumed
that the driving safety of your vehicle is unim-
paired. Therefore, neither experts nor official
agencies are liable. Therefore the manufacturer
only assumes responsibility when parts, which
are expressly authorized or recommended by
the manufacturer, are attached or installed at
an authorized dealer. The same applies when
modifications to the original condition are sub-
sequently made on the manufacturer’s ve-
hicles.
Your warranties do not cover any part that the
manufacturer did not supply. Nor do they cover
the cost of any repairs or adjustments that
might be caused or needed because of the
installation or use of non-manufacturer parts,
components, equipment, materials, or addi-
tives. Nor do your warranties cover the costs of
repairing damage or conditions caused by any
changes to your vehicle that do not comply with
the manufacturers specifications.
Original Mopar姞parts and accessories and
other products approved by the manufacturer,
including qualified advice, are available at your
authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that your
authorized dealer knows your vehicle best, has
the factory-trained technicians and genuine
Mopar姞parts, and is interested in your satis-
faction.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS
The authorized dealer that sold you your new
vehicle has the key code numbers for your
vehicle locks. These numbers can be used to
order duplicate keys. Ask your authorized
dealer for these numbers and keep them in a
safe place.
Ignition Key Removal
Automatic Transaxle
1. Place the shift lever into PARK.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
3. Push the key and cylinder inward and rotate
the key to the LOCK position.
4. Remove the key from the lock cylinder.
NOTE:
If you try to remove the key before you place
the shift lever in PARK, the key may become
trapped temporarily in the ignition cylinder.
If this occurs, rotate the key to the right
slightly, then remove the key as described. If
a malfunction occurs, the system will trap
the key in the ignition cylinder to warn you
that this safety feature is inoperable. The
engine can be started and stopped but the
key cannot be removed until you obtain
service.
WARNING!
Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leav-
ing children in a vehicle unattended is danger-
ous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t
leave the key in the ignition. A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or
move the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove key from the ignition and lock
all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-
tended.
Manual Transaxle — If Equipped
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ACC position.
2. Push the key and cylinder inward and rotate
the key to the LOCK position.

3. Remove the key from the lock cylinder.
Locking Doors With A Key
You can insert the key with either side up. To
lock the door, turn the key rearward. To unlock
the door, turn the key forward. See “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for door lock lubrication.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder
Opening the driver’s door when the key is in the
ignition and the ignition position is LOCK or
ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to remove
the key.
NOTE:
With the driver’s door open, and the key in
the ignition, both the power door locks will
not lock and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter will not function.
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF
EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive
steering wheel lock. This lock prevents steering
the vehicle without the ignition key. If the steer-
ing wheel is moved approximately a half turn in
either direction and the key is not in the ignition,
the steering wheel will lock.
To Manually Lock the Steering
Wheel
With the engine running, turn the steering
wheel upside down, turn off the engine and
remove the key. Turn the steering wheel slightly
in either direction until the lock engages.
To Release the Steering Wheel Lock
Insert the key in the ignition switch and start the
engine. If the key is difficult to turn, move the
wheel slightly to the right or left to disengage
the lock.
NOTE:
If you turned the wheel to the right to engage
the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to
the right to disengage it. If you turned the
wheel to the left to engage the lock, turn the
wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.
SENTRY KEY姞
The Sentry Key姞Immobilizer System prevents
unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling
the engine. The system does not need to be
armed or activated. Operation is automatic,
regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or
unlocked.
The system uses ignition keys, which have an
embedded electronic chip (transponder) to
prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Only
keys that are programmed to the vehicle can
be used to start and operate the vehicle. The
system will shut the engine off in two seconds if
someone uses an invalid key to start the en-
gine.
NOTE:
A key that has not been programmed is also
considered an invalid key, even if it is cut to
fit the ignition switch lock cylinder for that
vehicle.
During normal operation, after turning the igni-
tion switch ON, the Vehicle Security Light will
turn on for three seconds for a bulb check. If
the light remains on after the bulb check, it
indicates that there is a problem with the elec-
tronics. In addition, if the light begins to flash
after the bulb check, it indicates that someone
used an invalid key to start the engine. Either of
these conditions will result in the engine being
shut off after two seconds.

PAGE POSITION: 16 JOB: @ibm2/chry_pdm/CLS_chrysler/GRP_owners/JOB_202748-en-cal-10PM491-126-ENG-AA/DIV_og pubnum:

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during
normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for
longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there
is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,
have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible
by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:
The Sentry Key姞Immobilizer System is not
compatible with some aftermarket remote
starting systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and loss
of security protection.
All of the keys provided with your new vehicle
have been programmed to the vehicle electron-
ics. See your authorized dealer if you require
replacement or additional keys for your vehicle.
Replacement Keys
NOTE:
Only keys that have been programmed to
the vehicle electronics can be used to start
the vehicle. Once a Sentry Key姞has been
programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-
grammed to any other vehicle.
CAUTION!
Always remove the Sentry Keys姞from the
vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the
vehicle unattended.
At the time of purchase, the original owner is
provided with a four-digit Personal Identifica-
tion Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure
location. This number is required for replace-
ment of keys. Duplication of keys consists of
programming a blank key to the vehicle elec-
tronics. A blank key is one which has never
been programmed. See your authorized dealer
if you require replacement or additional keys for
your vehicle.
NOTE:
When having the Sentry Key姞Immobilizer
System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with
you to an authorized dealer.
Customer Key Programming
See your authorized dealer if you require re-
placement or additional keys for your vehicle.

system. It will be used in the following Euro-
pean countries, which apply Directive 1999/5/
EC: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Den-

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF
EQUIPPED
The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the doors,
hood, liftgate, and ignition switch for unautho-
rized operation.
If something triggers the Vehicle Security Alarm
the horn will sound for 29 seconds and turn off
all of the visual signals after an additional
31 seconds. If the triggering device is not

deactivated, the horn will sound again after a
five second delay for another 30 seconds. If the
trigger remains present, this cycle will repeat
for up to five minutes.
To Set the Security Alarm
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
LOCK switch or the Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) transmitter and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for approximately
16 seconds. This shows that the Vehicle Secu-
rity Alarm is arming. During this period, if a door
is opened, the ignition switch is turned ON, or
the power door locks are unlocked in any
manner, the Vehicle Security Alarm will auto-
matically disarm. After approximately 16 sec-
onds, the Vehicle Security Light will flash slowly.
This shows that the Vehicle Security Alarm is
fully armed.
To Disarm the System
Press UNLOCK on the RKE transmitter.
Vehicle Security Alarm Manual
Override
The Vehicle Security Alarm will not arm if you
lock the doors using the manual door lock
plunger.
PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate, and
ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
If something triggers the security alarm the
audible alert will sound for 30 seconds and
flash the lights for 60 seconds. If the triggering
device is not deactivated, the audible alert will
sound again after a five-second delay for an-
other 30 seconds. If the trigger remains
present, this cycle will repeat for up to five
minutes.
If the intrusion sensor is enabled, the security
alarm will trigger the audible alert for 29 sec-
onds. When this portion of the alarm is set,
movement inside the vehicle will trigger the
Vehicle Security Alarm.
To Arm the System
1. Remove the key from the ignition switch and
get out of the vehicle.
2. Lock the door using either the power door
lock switch, or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter and close all doors.
3. The Vehicle Security Light in the instrument
cluster will flash rapidly for 16 seconds. This
shows that the security alarm is pre-arming.
After 16 seconds the locks will activate and the
Vehicle Security Light will continue to flash
slowly. This shows that the Vehicle Security
Alarm system is fully armed.
Vehicles equipped with the Sentry Key姞Immo-
bilizer system can be safely started with a valid
key. A valid key is one that is programmed to
that particular vehicle. A valid key will disarm
the Vehicle Security Alarm, an invalid key will
allow the engine to run for two seconds then
stop.

NOTE:
The intrusion sensor (motion detector) ac-
tively monitors your vehicle every time you
arm the security alarm. If you prefer, you can
turn off the intrusion sensor when arming
the security alarm.
To disable the intrusion sensor, activate the
LOCK request three times using the RKE trans-
mitter during the pre-arming period (lamp flash-
ing quickly). The intrusion sensor will automati-
cally be enabled the next time the security
alarm is set.

seconds then stop.
NOTE:
•Battery disconnects will not disarm the
security alarm system.
•Using the key in the door lock cylinder
will only unlock the deadbolt locks.
•Once the security alarm is set and the
locks are activated, the only way to open
the doors is with the unlock button on the
RKE transmitter, using the Sentry Key姞in
the ignition switch, or using the key in the
door lock cylinder. This feature deacti-
vates the door lock plungers and door
handles.
If the security alarm has been triggered, the
Vehicle Security Light will flash twice every two
seconds.
