WARNING!
•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.
• Do not use the cargo tie downs located on
the load floor. Improper usage of the tether
can lead to a failure of an infant or child
restraint. The child could be badly injured
or killed. Transporting Pets
Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm
your pet. An unrestrained pet will be thrown
about and possibly injured, or injure a passen-
ger during panic braking or in an accident. Pets
should be restrained in the rear seat in pet
harnesses or pet carriers that are secured by
seat belts.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle) in
your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km),
speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are
desirable.
While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration
within the limits of local traffic laws, contributes
to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle accel-
eration in low gear can be detrimental and
should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving type
lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent
with anticipated climate conditions under
which vehicle operations will occur. For the
recommended viscosity and quality grades re-
fer to “Maintenance Procedures” in “Maintain-
ing Your Vehicle”. NON-DETERGENT OR
STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE
USED.
A new engine may consume some oil during its
first few thousand miles (kilometers) of opera-
tion. This should be considered a normal part
of the break-in and not interpreted as an indi-
cation of difficulty.
Additional Requirements For Diesel
Engine — If Equipped
During the first 1500 km avoid heavy loads, e.g.
driving at full throttle. Do not exceed 2/3 of the
maximum permissible engine speed for each
gear. Change gear in good time. Do not shift
down a gear manually in order to brake.

CAUTION!
Do not use chemical flushes in your engine oil
as the chemicals can damage your engine.
Such damage is not covered by the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Engine Oil Selection – ACEA Categories
For countries that use the ACEA European Oil
Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils
that meet the requirements of ACEA C3, and
that are approved to MB 229.31 or MB 229.51.
Engine Oil Viscosity – 3.6L Engine
SAE 5W-30 engine oil is recommended for all
operating temperatures. This engine oil im-
proves low temperature starting and vehicle
fuel economy.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recom-
mended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
For information on engine oil filler cap location,
refer to “Engine Compartment” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information. Engine Oil Viscosity – 5.7L Engine
SAE 5W-20 engine oil is recommended for all
operating temperatures. This engine oil im-
proves low temperature starting and vehicle
fuel economy.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recom-
mended engine oil viscosity for your vehicle.
For information on engine oil filler cap location,
refer to “Engine Compartment” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.
NOTE:
SAE 5W-30 engine oil approved to MB
229.31 or MB 229.51 may be used when SAE
5W-20 engine oil is not available.
Engine Oil – Diesel Engine
Engine Oil Selection
For best performance and maximum protection
under all types of operating conditions, the
manufacturer recommends engine oils that
meet the requirements of Chrysler Material
Standard MS-11106, and that are approved to
Mercedes Benz MB 229.31 or MB 229.51 and
ACEA C3.Engine Oil Viscosity
CAUTION!
Your vehicle is equipped with an advanced
technology Diesel Engine and an emission
device designed to limit Diesel Particulate
Emissions from being released into the atmo-
sphere. The durability of your engine and life
expectancy of this diesel particulate filter
emission device is highly dependent on the
use of the correct engine oil.
SAE 5W-30 Synthetic Low Ash Engine Oil is
recommended for all operating temperatures.
This engine oil improves low temperature start-
ing and vehicle fuel economy.
The engine oil filler cap also shows the recom-
mended engine oil viscosity for your engine.
For information on engine oil filler cap location,
refer to “Engine Compartment” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” for further information.
Synthetic Engine OilsYou may use synthetic engine oils provided the
recommended oil quality requirements are met,
