IF YOU ARE THE FIRST REGISTERED RETAIL OWNER OF YOUR VEHICLE,
YOU MAY OBTAIN A COMPLIMENTARY PRINTED COPY OF THE OWNER’S
MANUAL, NAVIGATION/UCONNECT® MANUALS OR WARRANTY BOOKLET

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can
result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision 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 cellular telephones,
computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is
moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous
and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find 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/
Uconnect® Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside Assistance
(new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance (new vehicles purchased
in Canada) in electronic format. We hope you find it useful. Replacement DVD kits may
be purchased by visiting www.techauthority.com. Copyright 2014 Chrysler Group LLC.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Chrysler
and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions. However, it is not a
substitute for your Owner’s Manual. For complete operational instructions, maintenance
procedures and important safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/ Uconnect® Manuals and other Warning Labels in your vehicle. Not all
features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on
accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit mopar.com (U.S.), mopar.ca (Canada)
or your local Chrysler dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL: Drunken driving is one of the most frequent
causes of collisions. 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.
WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA
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 (excluding legal lines).
WARNING!
• Pedals that cannot move freely can cause loss of vehicle control and increase the risk ofserious personal injury.
• Always make sure that objects cannot fall into the driver foot well while the vehicle is
moving. Objects can become trapped under the brake pedal and accelerator pedal
causing a loss of vehicle control.
• Failure to properly follow floor mat installation or mounting can cause interference with
the brake pedal and accelerator pedal operation causing loss of control of the vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing
children to be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or
others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever/transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle, or in a location accessible to children, and
do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC or
ON/RUN mode. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
• Never use the “PARK” position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
damage.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

NOTE:
Vehicle Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, this feature can be programmed to come on
during a remote start through the Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness,diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion or other physical condi-
tions must exercise care when using the seat heater. It may cause burns even at low
temperatures, especially if used for long periods of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket or cushion.
This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that has been overheated
could cause serious burns due to the increased surface temperature of the seat.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL

setting.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within the Uconnect® system. You can gain
access to the control buttons through the climate screen or the controls screen.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element ON.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
a second time to turn the heating element OFF.
Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on, it will operate for up to 80 minutes before
automatically shutting off. The heated steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when
the steering wheel is already warm.
NOTE:
Vehicle Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, this feature can be programmed to come on
during a remote start through the Uconnect® system. Refer to “Uconnect® Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaustion, or other physical condi-
tions must exercise care when using the steering wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause the steering wheel
heater to overheat.

WARNING!
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is a convenience system. It is not a substitute for active
driving involvement. It is always the driver’s responsibility to be attentive of road, traffic, and
weather conditions, vehicle speed, distance to the vehicle ahead; and, most importantly, brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision and death or serious personal injury.
The ACC system:
• Does not react to pedestrians, oncoming vehicles, and stationary objects (e.g., a stopped
vehicle in a traffic jam or a disabled vehicle).
• Cannot take street, traffic, and weather conditions into account, and may be limited upon
adverse sight distance conditions.
• Does not always fully recognize complex driving conditions, which can result in wrong or
missing distance warnings.
• Will bring the vehicle to a complete stop while following a target vehicle and hold the
vehicle for 2 seconds in the stop position. If the target vehicle does not start moving within
two seconds the ACC system will display a message that the system will release the brakes
and that the brakes must be applied manually. An audible chime will sound when the
brakes are released.
You should switch off the ACC system:
• When driving in fog, heavy rain, heavy snow, sleet, heavy traffic, and complex driving
situations (i.e., in highway construction zones).
• When entering a turn lane or highway off ramp; when driving on roads that are winding, icy,
snow-covered, slippery, or have steep uphill or downhill slopes.
• When towing a trailer up or down steep slopes.
• When circumstances do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.
The Cruise Control system has two control modes:
• Adaptive Cruise Control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between vehicles.
• Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control mode for cruising at a constant preset
speed. For additional information, refer to “Normal (Fixed Speed) Cruise Control Mode”
in this section.
Normal (fixed speed) electronic speed control will not react to preceding vehicles. Always be
aware of the mode selected.
You can change the mode by using the Cruise Control buttons. The two control modes
function differently. Always confirm which mode is selected.

Far
The default status of FCW is the “Far” setting.
The far setting provides warnings for potential collisions more distant in front of the vehicle,
allowing the driver to have the most reaction time to avoid a collision.
This setting is designed to provide early warnings per NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration) recommendations.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.
Near
Changing the FCW status to the “Near” setting, allows the system to warn you of a potential
frontal collision when you are much closer.
This setting provides less reaction time than the “Far” setting, which allows for a more dynamic
driving experience.
More dynamic or aggressive drivers that want to avoid frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
Off
Changing the FCW status to “Off ” prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision
with the vehicle in front of you.
Turning Active Braking ON Or OFF
The Active Braking feature has two settings and can be changed within the Uconnect® System
Screen:
•On
•Off
Changing the Active Braking status to “Off ” prevents the system from providing limited
autonomous braking, or additional brake support if the driver is not braking adequately in the
event of a potential frontal collision.
NOTE:
If FCW is set to “Off ”, “FCW OFF” will be displayed in the EVIC/DID.
Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is not intended to avoid a collision on its own, nor can
FCW detect every type of potential collision. The driver has the responsibility to avoid a
collision by controlling the vehicle via braking and steering. Failure to follow this warning could
lead to serious injury or death.

ParkSense® Active Park Assist
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect® display.
The ParkSense® Active Park Assist system is
intended to assist the driver during parallel and
perpendicular parking maneuvers by identify-
ing a proper parking space, providing audible/
visual instructions, and controlling the steering
wheel. The ParkSense® Active Park Assist sys-
tem is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator, shift
lever and brakes. Depending on the driver’s
parking maneuver selection, the ParkSense®
Active Park Assist system is capable of maneu-
vering a vehicle into a parallel or a perpendicu-
lar parking space on either side (i.e., driver side
or passenger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.
CAUTION!
•ParkSense® is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle, including small
obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not detected at all. Obstacles
located above or below the sensors will not be detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense® in order to be able to stop intime when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver looks over his/her
shoulder when using ParkSense®.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense®. Always checkcarefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for pedestrians,
animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before backing up. You are respon-
sible for safety and must continue to pay attention to your surroundings. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Before using ParkSense®, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and hitch ball
assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not used for towing. Failure to do
so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or obstacles because the hitch ball will be much
closer to the obstacle than the rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone.
Also, the sensors could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.
