A MESSAGE FROM FCA US LLC
FCA US LLC welcomes you as a turbocharged diesel-
powered vehicle owner. Your diesel vehicle will sound,
feel, drive and operate differently from a gasoline-powered
vehicle. It is important that you read and understand this
manual.
Almost 100% of the heavy trucks in the United States and
Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy,
rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling
heavy loads.
You may find that some of the starting, operating, and
maintenance procedures are different. However, they are
simple to follow and careful adherence to them will ensure
that you take full advantage of the features of this engine.
NOTE:
•Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/
transmission and/or exhaust system damage. Your ve-
hicle’s powertrain control systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase
horsepower and torque output such as whether or not
performance-enhancing powertrain components, com-
monly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or
performance chips have been used.
•Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to the
vehicle will effect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning System.
4 INTRODUCTION
This information cannot be erased and will stay in the
system’s memory even if the modification is removed. This
information can be retrieved by FCA US LLC, and service
and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle. This
information may be used to determine if repair will be
covered by New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
There is a probability that the use of a “performance chip”
will prohibit the engine from starting. In this instance, the
vehicle will need to be serviced by a authorized dealer in
order to return the vehicle to it’s factory settings.
When it comes to service, remember that your authorized
dealer knows your Jeep® vehicle best, has factory-trained
technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about
your satisfaction.

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM
This system uses the key fob to start the engine
conveniently from outside the vehicle while still
maintaining security. The system has a range of
approximately 300 ft (91 m).
NOTE:
•The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic trans-
mission to be equipped with Remote Start.
•Obstructions between the vehicle and the key fob may
reduce this range.
•The Remote Start system will wait for the “Wait To Start”
amber telltale to extinguish before cranking the engine.
This allows time for the engine pre-heat cycle to pre-heat
the cylinder air, and is normal in cold weather. Refer to
“Warning And Indicator Lights” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner’s Manual at
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owner-manual.html (U.S.
Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Resi-
dents) for further information.

8 GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING!
•Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or
confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Monox-
ide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious injury
or death when inhaled.
•Keep key fobs away from children. Operation of the
Remote Start System, windows, door locks or other
controls could cause serious injury or death.
