A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The keys for your vehicle are double-sided. Y ou can insert the keys into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with the key code number on it. If you received your keys without the bag, ask your authorized dealer to give you the number .
W ARNING! • Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power win- dows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Key-In-Ignition Reminder If you open the driver’s door and the key is in the ignition, a chime will sound to remind you to r emove the key . NOTE: The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds when the ignition key is placed in the LOCK or ACC position.
If the V ehicle Security Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 sec- onds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electr onics. Should this occur , have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible by an authorized dealer .
procedur e. This pr ocedure consists of pr ogramming a blank key to the vehicle electronics. A blank key is one that has never been programmed. NOTE: When having the Sentry Key 威 Immobilizer System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with you to an authorized dealer .
Repeat this procedur e to pr ogram up to eight keys. If you do not have a programmed Sentry Key 威 , contact your authorized dealer for details. NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased fr om the sys- tem’s memory .

W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the Child-Protection locks are engaged. WINDOWS Power Windows The power window controls ar e located on the driver’s door trim panel.
Personal Settings (Customer-Pr ogrammable Featur es)” in “Understanding Y our Instrument Panel” for further in- formation. W ARNING! Never leave children in a vehicle with the keys in the ignition switch. Occupants, particularly unattended children, can become entrapped by the windows while operating the power window switches.
Auto Up Feature with Anti-Pinch Protection — If Equipped On some models, the driver’s and front passenger’s (if equipped for passenger side) power window switches have an “Auto Up” feature. Pull the window switch up to the second detent, release, and the window will go up automatically .
W ARNING! There is no anti-pinch protection when the window is almost closed. Be sure to clear all objects from the window before closing. Reset At some point in time, it may be necessary to reactivate the auto-up feature. T o do so, perform the following procedur e: 1.
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter -type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof (if equipped) in certain open or partially open positions.
OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems: • Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions • Advanced Front Airbags .
NOTE: The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly , to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions in your vehicle are equipped with lap/shoulder belts. The belt webbing retractor is de- signed to lock during very sudden stops or accidents. This feature allows the shoulder part of the belt to move freely with you under normal conditions.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is located on the B-Pillar along the outboard side and r ear of the seat cushion.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is dangerous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in an accident, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The r etractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Untwisting Procedure Use the following procedur e to untwist a twisted lap/ shoulder belt. 1. Position the latch plate as close as possible to the anchor point. 2. At about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) above the latch plate, grasp and twist the belt webbing 180 degrees to cr eate a fold that begins immediately above the latch plate.
NOTE: The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This featur e allows the shoulder belt anchorage to be adjusted in the upward position without pressing the r elease button. T o verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched, pull downward on the shoulder belt anchorage until it is locked into position.
• ALR — Automatic Locking Retractor If the passenger seating position is equipped with an ALR and is being used for normal usage: Only pull the belt webbing out far enough to comfortably wrap around the occupants mid-section so as to not activate the ALR.
Supplemental Active Head Restraints (AHR) These head restraints ar e passive, deployable compo- nents, and vehicles with this equipment cannot be readily identified by any markings, only through visual inspec- tion of the head restraint.
CAUTION! All occupants, including the driver , should not oper- ate a vehicle or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the head restraints are placed in their proper positions in order to minimize the risk of neck injury in the event of an accident.
1. Grasp the deployed AHR fr om the r ear seat. 2. Position the hands on the top of the deployed AHR at a comfortable position. 3. Pull down then rearward towards the r ear of the vehicle then down to engage the locking mechanism.
4. The AHR fr ont soft foam and trim half should lock into the back decorative plastic half. NOTE: • If you have difficulties or pr oblems r esetting the Active Head Restraints, see an authorized dealer . • For safety reasons, have the Active Head Restraints checked by a qualified specialist at an authorized dealer .
Energy Management Feature This vehicle has a safety belt system with an energy management feature in the fr ont seating positions to help further reduce the risk of injury in the event of a head-on accident. This safety belt system has a retractor assembly that is designed to release webbing in a contr olled manner .
The front passenger seat BeltAlert 威 is not active when the front passenger seat is unoccupied. BeltAlert 威 may be triggered when an animal or heavy object is on the fr ont passenger seat or when the seat is folded flat (if equipped).
Seat Belt Lock Out The center rear seat belt system has a lock out featur e that will not allow you to extract the center webbing unless the rear seat upper latch is engaged. Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts throughout their pr egnancy .
panel, above the glove compartment. The words SRS/ AIRBAG are embossed on the airbag covers. NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags.
This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) that run the entir e length of the headliner to protect the driver , front, and rear pas- sengers sitting next to a window . NOTE: • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) • Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pr etensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, and Seat T rack Position Sensors • Supplementa.
W ARNING! • No objects should be placed over or near the airbag on the instrument panel, because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is in a collision severe enough to cause the airbag to inflate. • Do not put anything on or around the Advanced Front Airbag covers or attempt to manually open them.
Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) SABIC airbags may offer side-impact and vehicle r ollover protection to fr ont and r ear seat outboard occupants in addition to that provided by the body str ucture.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If your vehicle is equipped with SABIC airbags, do not have any accessory items installed which will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require permanent attachments (bolts or screws) for instal- lation on the vehicle roof.
If a child from 1 to 12 years old (not in a r ear facing child seat) must ride in the front passenger seat, move the seat as far back as possible and use the proper child r estraint. (Refer to “Child Restraints”) Y ou should read the instructions pr ovided with your child restraint to make sur e that you ar e using it properly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury , including death. Air- bags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
The SABIC will not deploy in all side collisions. SABIC deployment will depend on the severity and type of collision. Because airbag sensors measure vehicle deceleration over time, vehicle speed and damage by themselves are not good indicators of whether or not an airbag should have deployed.
W ARNING! Ignoring the “Airbag W arning Light” in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have an authorized dealer service the airbag system immediately .
“P ASS AIR BAG OFF” to show that the passenger Advanced Front Airbag will not inflate during a collision requiring airbag deployment. When the right fr ont pas- senger seat is empty or when very light objects are placed on the seat, the passenger airbag will not inflate even though the P AD indicator light is not illuminated.
W ARNING! Never place a rear facing infant seat in front of an airbag. A deploying passenger Advanced Front Air - bag can cause death or serious injury to a child in a rear-facing infant seat.
If there is a fault pr esent in the airbag system, the Airbag W arning Light (a red light located in the center of the instrument cluster dir ectly in front of the driver) will be turned on. This indicates that you should have an autho- rized dealer service the system immediately .
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Front Airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger .
W ARNING! If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC. The area where the SABIC is located should remain free from any obstructions.
W ARNING! Unapproved modifications or service procedures to the front passenger seat assembly , its related compo- nents or seat cover may inadvertently change the airbag deployment in case of a frontal crash. This could result in death or serious injury to the front seat passenger if the vehicle is involved in a collision.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. The airbag system is designed to be maintenance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the airbag system immediately .
the EDR under normal driving conditions and no per- sonal data (e.g. name, gender , age, and crash location) are recor ded. However , other parties, such as law enforce- ment, could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquir ed during a crash investigation.
Infants and Child Restraints • Safety experts recommend that childr en ride r earward- facing in the vehicle until they are at least one year old and weigh at least 20 lbs (9 kg). T wo types of child restraints can be used: r earwar d-facing infant carriers and “convertible” child seats.
Here ar e some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sur e that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable safety standards. Chrysler Gr oup LLC also r ecommends that you try a child restraint in the vehicle seats wher e you will use it before you buy it.
buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint. Disconnect the latch plate from the buckle and twist the short buckle-end belt several times to shorten it. Insert the latch plate into the buckle with the release button facing out.
The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weighing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback, they should use a belt-positioning booster seat.

and are just visible when you lean into the r ear seat to install the child restraint. Y ou will easily feel them if you run your finger along the intersection of the seatback and seat cushion surfaces. In addition, there ar e tether strap anchorages behind each rear seating position located on the back of the seat.
hook for attachment to the tether strap anchorage and a means of adjusting the tension of the strap. Y ou will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and on the tether strap so that you can more easily attach the hooks or connectors to the vehicle anchorages.
Pull the belt from the r etractor until ther e is enough to allow it to pass through the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then, pull the belt until it is completely extracted from the r etractor .
W ARNING! 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. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the br eak-in and not inter - preted as an indication of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers NEVER TRANSPOR T P ASSENGERS IN THE CARGO AREA.
Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area. If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with the engine running, adjust your heating or cooling contr ols to force outside air into the vehicle.
Airbag W arning Light The light should come on and remain on for four to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not lit during starting, see your authorized dealer . If the light stays on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an autho- rized dealer .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Never place or install floor mats or other floor coverings in the vehicle that cannot be properly secured to prevent them from moving and inter- fering with the pedals or the ability to control the vehicle. • Never put floor mats or other floor coverings on top of already installed floor mats.
Periodic Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Outside the V ehicle T ires Examine tires for excessive tr ead wear and uneven wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or other objects lodged in the tread. Inspect the tr ead and sidewall for cuts and cracks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons.
Extreme Cold Weather (below –20°F or –29°C) T o ensure reliable starting at these temperatur es, the use of an externally powered electric engine block heater (available from your authorized dealer) is r ecommended.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released.
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms the engine, and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded thr ee-wir e extension cord. The engine block heater cord is found under the hood clipped to the heater line on the left side of the engine.
W ARNING! • It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in REVERSE. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
Brake/T ransmission Interlock Manual Override Y our vehicle may be equipped with a shift lock manual override. The manual override may be used in the event that the shift lever should fail to move from P ARK with the key in the ON position and the brake pedal pressed.
Four–Speed Automatic T ransmission – 3.7L Engine NOTE: Under extreme cold temperatur es (-10°F (-23°C) and when in DRIVE, transmission operation may be briefly limited to only second gear operation. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the shift lever in the P ARK position. W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake.
2 (Second) This range is used for moderate grades and to assist braking on dry pavement or in mud and snow . Begins at a stop in low gear with automatic upshift to second gear . W ill not shift into third gear . 1 (First) This range is used for hard pulling at low speeds in mud, sand, snow , or on steep grades.
NOTE: The TOW/HAUL mode locks out Overdrive. The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated. Pressing the switch a second time r estor es normal operation. If the TOW/HAUL mode is desired, the switch must be pressed each time the engine is started.
5. Move the shift lever to the desired gear range. If the problem is no longer detected, the transmission will return to normal operation. If the pr oblem persists, P ARK, REVERSE, and NEUTRAL will continue to oper - ate. Only second gear range will operate in the DRIVE position.
Gear Ranges NOTE: After selecting any gear range, wait a moment to allow the selected gear to engage before accelerating. This is especially important when the engine is cold. If there is a need to r estart the engine, be sur e to cycle the key to the LOCK position before r estarting.
NEUTRAL This range is used when vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with engine running. Engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving for any other reason with the shift lever in NEUTRAL can result in severe transmission damage.
Overdrive Operation The overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled fifth gear (OVERDRIVE). The trans- mission will automatically shift from fourth gear to OVERDRIVE if t.
T o reset the transmission, use the following procedur e: 1. Stop the vehicle. 2. Move the shift lever to the P ARK position. 3. T urn the engine off and turn the key to the LOCK position. 4. W ait approximately 10 seconds, then r estart the en- gine.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION — IF EQUIPPED MP 143 Single-Speed Part-T ime T ransfer Case Operating Information/Precautions The transfer case is operated by the transfer case switch (located on the center console).
CAUTION! • Driving in the 4WD LOCK position on dry hard surfaced roads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components. • Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or rear wheels are spinning.

324 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tr ead.
Inflation pressur es specified on the placar d are always “cold tire inflation pr essur e.” Cold tire inflation pr essur e is defined as the tire pr essur e after the vehicle has not been driven for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious collision. Do not drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
W ARNING! T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . W ith these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). T emporary use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
W ARNING! The limited-use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire placard or limited-use spare tire and wheel assembly .
These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm). When the tread is worn to the tread wear indicators, the tir e should be r eplaced.
Replacement Tires The tires on your new vehicle pr ovide a balance of many characteristics. They should be inspected regularly for wear and correct cold tir e inflation pr essure. The manu- facturer str ongly r ecommends that you use tires equiva- lent to the originals in size, quality and performance when replacement is needed.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Failure to equip your vehicle with tires having adequate speed capability can result in sudden tire failure and loss of vehicle control. CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug- gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacturer .
CAUTION! Proper operation of four-wheel drive vehicles de- pends on tires of equal size, type and circumference on each wheel. Any difference in tire size can cause damage to the transfer case. T ire rotation schedule should be followed to balance tire wear .
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitor System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essur e based on the vehicle recom- mended cold placard pr essur e. The tire pr essur e will vary with temperature by about 1 psi (6.9 kPa) for every 12°F (6.
For example, your vehicle may have a recommended cold (parked for more than thr ee hours) placar d pressur e of 33 psi (227 kPa). If the ambient temperature is 68°F (20°C) and the measured tir e pr essure is 28 psi (193 kPa), a temperature dr op to 20°F (-7°C) will decr ease the tire pressur e to appr oximately 24 psi (165 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tir e car e and maintenance, or to provide warning of a tir e failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pr essur e gauge while adjusting your tire pr essur e. • Driving on a significantly under-inflated tir e causes the tire to over heat and can lead to tir e failure.
The matching full-size spare wheel and tir e assembly (if equipped) has a tire pr essur e monitoring sensor . The matching full-size spare can be used in place of any of the four road tir es. The TPMS will only monitor the pr essure in the full-size spare when it is used in place of a r oad tire.
3. Lots of snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings. 4. Using tire chains on the vehicle. 5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPMS sensors. V ehicles with Full-Size Spare 1.

T elltale Light” will turn off, as long as no tire pr essur e is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
T ire Pressure Monitoring Low Pressure W arnings The “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster and a chime will sound when tire pr essur e is low in one or more of the four active r oad tir es.
If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. If the system fault no longer exists, the “T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light” will no longer flash, and the ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message will no longer display , and a pressure value will display in place of the dashes.
V ehicles with Full-Size Spare 1. The matching full size spare wheel and tire assembly has a tire pr essur e monitoring sensor that can be moni- tored by the TPMS.
4. For each subsequent ignition key cycle, a chime will sound, the “TPMS T elltale Light” will flash on and off for 75 seconds and then remain on solid, and the EVIC will display a ⬙ CHECK TPM SYSTEM ⬙ message for three seconds and then display dashes (- -) in place of the pressur e value.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS 3.7L Engine All engines are designed to meet all emis- sions regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy and performance when us- ing high quality unleaded “regular” gaso- line having an octane rating of 87.
Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country r equir e the use of cleaner burning gasoline referr ed to as r eformulated gasoline. Reformulated gasolines contain oxygenates and are spe- cifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and im- prove air quality .
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: • operate in a lean mode • OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on • poor eng.
Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is requir ed to contain effective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and would result in additional cost. Ther efor e you should not have to add anything to the fuel.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
CAUTION! • Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impu- rities into the fuel system. Also, a poorly fitting aftermarket cap can cause the “Malfunction Indi- cator Light (MIL)” to illuminate, due to fuel vapors escaping from the system.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is being filled. • Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regula- tions and may cause the MIL to turn on.
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar .
Each axle’s GA WR is determined by the components in the system with the lowest load carrying capacity (axle, springs, tires, or wheels). Heavier axles or suspension components, sometimes specified by purchasers for in- creased durability , does not necessarily increase the ve- hicle’s GVWR.
the front or r ear axles has been exceeded, but the total load is within the specified GVWR. If so, weight must be shifted from fr ont to r ear , or rear to fr ont, as appr opriate until the specified weight limitations are met. Stor e the heavier items down low and be sure that the weight is distributed equally .
exceed the GVWR. Refer to “V ehicle Loading/V ehicle Certification Label” in Starting and Operating” for fur- ther information. Gross T railer W eight (GTW) The GTW is the weight of the trailer .
T ongue W eight The tongue weight is the downward for ce exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer . In most cases it should not be less than 10% or more than 15% of the trailer load.
W ARNING! • An improperly adjusted weight distributing hitch system may reduce handling, stability , and brak- ing performance and could result in a collision.

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle. • The weight of the driver and all passengers.
W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to a collision. Follow these guidelines to make your trailer towing as safe as possible: • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control.

3. If using another vehicle to jump-start the battery , park the vehicle within the jumper cables reach, set the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF . W ARNING! Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
W ARNING! Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged battery . The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury .
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE This section describes procedur es for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial wr ecker service. If the trans- mission and drivetrain are operable, disabled vehicles may also be towed as described under “Recreational T owing” in the “Starting and Operating” section.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN position, not the ACC position. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, see “Brake/.
CAUTION! T owing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than 15 miles (24 km) with rear wheels on the ground can cause severe damage to the transmission.
Four-Wheel Drive V ehicles The manufacturer r equir es towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods ar e to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly . CAUTION! • Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used.

REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine MOP AR 威 parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly r ecommended to en- sure the designed performance. Damage or failur es caused by the use of non-MOP AR 威 parts for maintenance and repairs will not be cover ed by the manufactur er’s warranty .
CAUTION! • Failure to properly maintain your vehicle or per- form repairs and service when necessary could result in more costly repairs, damage to other components or negatively impact vehicle perfor- mance. Immediately have potential malfunctions examined by an authorized Chrysler Group LLC dealership or qualified repair center .
CAUTION! Overfilling or underfilling the crankcase will cause aeration or loss of oil pressure. This could damage your engine. Change Engine Oil The oil change indicator system will remind you that it is time to take your vehicle in for scheduled maintenance.
Engine Oil V iscosity – 3.7L Engine SAE 5W -20 engine oil is recommended for all operating temperatures. This engine oil impr oves low temperatur e starting and vehicle fuel economy . Y our engine oil filler cap shows the recommended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
Engine Oil Filter The engine oil filter should be replaced with a new filter at every engine oil change. NOTE: For best access to the oil filter , a drive on hoist should be used instead of a chassis hoist (3.7L Only). Engine Oil Filter Selection All of the manufacturer’s engines have a full-flow type disposable oil filter .
Engine Air Cleaner Filter Selection The quality of replacement engine air cleaner filters varies considerably . Only high quality filters should be used to assure most ef ficient service. MOP AR 威 engine air cleaner filters are a high quality filter and ar e recommended.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked posi- tive (+) and negative (-) and are identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
hood latching components to ensure pr oper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year , preferably in the Fall and Spring.
W ARNING! Commercial windshield washer solvents are flam- mable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system.
CAUTION! • The catalytic converter requires the use of un- leaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emissions con- trol device and may seriously reduce engine per- formance and cause serious damage to the engine.
T o minimize the possibility of catalytic converter dam- age: • Do not shut off the engine or interr upt the ignition, when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle.
garden hose vertically down the face of the A/C con- denser (if equipped) or the back of the radiator core. Check the engine cooling system hoses for brittle rubber , cracking, tears, cuts, and tightness of the connection at the coolant recovery bottle and radiator .
CAUTION! • Mixing of engine coolant (antifreeze) other than the specified HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) may result in decreased corrosion protection and engine damage.
• Mix a minimum solution of 50% HOA T engine coolant and distilled water . Use higher concentrations (not to exceed 70%) if temperatures below ⫺ 34°F ( ⫺ 37°C) ar e anticipated. • Use only high purity water such as distilled or deion- ized water when mixing the water/engine coolant (antifreeze) solution.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not use a pressure cap other than the one specified for your vehicle. Personal injury or en- gine damage may result. Disposal of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant (antifreeze) is a regulated substance r equiring pr oper disposal.
Points to Remember NOTE: When the vehicle is stopped after a few miles/ kilometers of operation, you may observe vapor coming from the fr ont of the engine compartment.
