The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle.
Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in
an accident and personal injury. Chrysler Group LLC strongly
recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device
or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any
electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios,
vehicle navigation or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while
driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is
moving. If you nd yourself unable to devote your full attention to
vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some States or Provinces prohibit the use of cellular
telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility
to comply with all local laws.
IMPORTANT: This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the
important features of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your
Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Media Center Manuals, Warranty Booklets,
Tire Warranty and 24-Hour Towing Assistance (new vehicles purchased
in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased in Canada)
in electronic format. We hope you nd it useful. If you are the rst
registered owner of your vehicle, you may obtain a printed copy of the
Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Media Center Manuals or Warranty Booklet
by calling 1-866-726-4636 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or by
contacting your dealer. Replacement DVD kits may be purchased by

WARNING!
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.
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp,
your reexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been
drinking. Never drink and then drive.

WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured
that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all
essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.
Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's
control under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never
a substitute for attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always
drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and
your passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they
take your eyes from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving
or take your eyes more than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that
are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide 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 guide that are not available 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 obligation upon itself to install
them on products previously manufactured.
The User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with
the important features of your vehicle. It contains most everything you will need to
operate and maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information
which can be viewed on a personal computer or MAC computer. The multimedia
DVD also includes videos which can be played on any standard DVD player
(including the Media Center Touch-Screen Radios). Additional DVD operational
information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in the
owner’s kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase. For your convenience,
the information contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future
reference.
Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural
resources. By converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the
user information for your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for
tree-based products and lessen the stress on our environment.

With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name Chrysler Group LLC shall be
deemed to be deleted and the name Chrysler Canada Inc. used in substitution
therefore.

the button at the top of the Key Fob sideways with your thumb and then pull
the key out with your other hand.
WARNING!
• Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be severely injured or killed. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking brake, brake pedal, or the shift lever. Do
not leave the Key Fob inside the vehicle or in the ignition. A child could start

REMOTE START
• Press the REMOTE START button x2twice within five seconds. Pressing the
REMOTE START button a third time shuts the engine off.
• In order to allow proper engine pre-heating (diesel engine only), depending on
engine temperature, there may be a delay of up to 30 seconds before the
engine starts.
• To drive the vehicle, press the UNLOCK button, insert the Key Fob in the
ignition and turn to the ON/RUN position.
• With remote start, the engine will only run for 15 minutes (timeout) unless the
ignition Key Fob is placed in the ON/RUN position.
• The vehicle must be started with the Key Fob after two consecutive timeouts.
WARNING!
• Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or confined area. Exhaust gas
contains Carbon Monoxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon
Monoxide is poisonous and can cause you or others to be severely injured or
killed when inhaled.
• Keep Key Fob transmitters away from children. Operation of the Remote Start
System, windows, door locks or other controls could cause you and others to
be severely injured or killed.
THEFT ALARM
To Arm
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door
is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack
in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it
is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the
risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear
your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
GETTING STARTED
9

• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat
belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions may be equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed airbag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you
are not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIRBAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced
Front Airbags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the
severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Airbags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable
Curtains to protect the driver, front and rear passengers sitting next to a
window.
• This vehicle may be equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Airbags
to provide enhanced protection to help protect an occupant during a side
impact.
• If the Airbag Warning Light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
GETTING STARTED
10

WARNING!
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some
collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even
though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced
Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Airbags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains and Supplemental
Seat-Mounted Side Airbags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door
or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain and/or
Seat-Mounted Side Airbag during deployment could cause you to be severely
injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are involved
in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors
and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed
in the rear seat outboard positions.
• LATCH equipped seating positions have both lower anchor bars, located at
the back of the seat cushion, and tether strap anchorages, located behind the
seat back.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be
readily identified by the symbol located on the seatback directly above the
anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint.
GETTING STARTED
11

• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and on the tether
strap so that you can attach the
hooks or connectors to the vehicle
anchors more easily.
• Attach the lower hooks or
connectors over the top of the
seatcover material.
• Then tighten the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) -
Regular Cab - Front Seat:
• Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will
reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat.
• Lift the cover (if equipped), and
attach the hook to the square
opening in the sheet metal.
• Install the child restraint and remove
the slack in the tether strap
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) -
Quad Cab
®
/Crew Cab - Rear Seats:
• Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the
rear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band.
Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly improved by raising the seat cushion
to the “up” position. Remove the elastic before use.
• Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap
so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat and then to the anchor directly behind the center rear seat.
• Pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of
webbing behind the child seat.
• Route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach the
hooks to the metal ring.
• Place a child restraint on the center rear seat and adjust the tether strap so
that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind
the seat and to the anchor directly behind the right seat.
GETTING STARTED
12

• Install the child restraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Inner Anchor Strap Ring(s)
2. Snap Hook
3. Tether Strap
4. Passenger's Side Rear Child Seat
5. Rear Center Child Seat
6. Driver's Side Rear Child Seat
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the
latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the
belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten
the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head restraint posts
underneath the head restraint.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and
remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a projectile
inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap could
become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you
are. The child and others could be severely injured or killed. Any child riding in
your vehicle should be in a proper restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can lead to
failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely injured or
killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or
child restraint.
(Continued)
GETTING STARTED
13

WARNING! (Continued)
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion and
possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly behind the
child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a vehicle
with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause infants in
this position to be severely injured or killed.

WARNING! (Continued)
• Actuating the recliner handle will allow the seatback to swing (dump) forward
on manual recliner seats. Do not stand or lean in front of the seat while
actuating the handle. The seatback may swing forward and hit you, causing
injury. This dump feature allows access to the storage bin behind the seat. To
avoid injury, place your hand on the seatback and actuate the handle, then
position the seatback in the desired position.
• Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the seat belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision, you could slide under the seat belt and be
severely injured or killed. Use the recliner only when the vehicle is parked.
