cable to the negative  (-) post of the booster 
battery.
4. Connect the opposite end of the negative  (-) 
jumper cable to the remote negative  (-) post 
near the windshield cowl (exposed metallic/
unpainted post of the discharge vehicle).
WARNING!
Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this 
could establish a ground connection and 
personal injury could result.
WARNING!
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan 
whenever the hood is raised. It can start 
anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be 
injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, 
watch bands and bracelets that could make 
an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be 
seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn 
your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas 
which is flammable and explosive. Keep open 
flames or sparks away from the battery.
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure 
could result in personal injury or property 
damage due to battery explosion.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in

cable from the positive  (+) post of the booster 
battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive  (+) 
jumper cable from the remote positive  (+) post 
of the vehicle with the discharged battery and 
reinstall the protective cap. If frequent jump starting is required to start your 
vehicle you should have the battery and charging 
system inspected at an authorized dealer.
REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel for 
a Cap-Less Fuel System. If refueling is necessary, 
while using an approved gas can, insert the 
refueling funnel into the filler neck opening. Take 
care to open both flappers with the funnel to avoid 
spills.
NOTE:In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel 
door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on 
the fuel door to break the ice buildup and 
re-release the fuel door by pushing at the rear 
center edge to unlatch.
Refueling Funnel
Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A 
funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling 
with a gas can.
See the following steps for refueling:
1. Retrieve funnel from the rear storage area.
Fuel Funnel Location
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper 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.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power 
outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, 
even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). 
Eventually, if plugged in long enough without 
engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will 
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life 
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as  the fuel nozzle.
Inserting Funnel
3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper  doors open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior  to putting back in the spare tire storage area.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be 
serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce 
the potential for overheating by taking the 
appropriate action.
On the highway — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans -
mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase 
engine idle speed.
NOTE:There are steps that you can take to slow down an 
impending overheat condition: 
If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The 
A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling 
system and turning the A/C off can help remove 
this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to 
maximum heat, the mode control to floor and 
the blower control to high. This allows the heater 
core to act as a supplement to the radiator and 
aids in removing heat from the engine cooling 
system.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not
“top off” the fuel tank after filling.
WARNING!
Never have any smoking materials lit in or 
near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or 
the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running. 
This is in violation of most state and federal 
fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc -
tion Indicator Light to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a 
portable container that is inside of a vehicle. 
You could be burned. Always place fuel 
containers on the ground while filling.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine 
coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. 
If you see or hear steam coming from under the 
hood, do not open the hood until the radiator 
has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling 
system pressure cap when the radiator or 
coolant bottle is hot.

304IN CASE OF EMERGENCY  
MANUAL PARK RELEASE 
To move the vehicle in cases where the 
transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as 
a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is 
available.
Manual Park Release Access Cover
Follow These Steps To Activate The Manual Park 
Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while  seated in the driver’s seat.
2. Apply the parking brake, if possible.
3. Using a small screwdriver or similar tool,  remove the Manual Park Release access 
cover, which is to the lower left of the steering 
column. 4. The Manual Park Release access cover is 
connected to a red tether strap. Pull the tether 
strap out as far as it will go, then release it. The 
transmission should now be in NEUTRAL (N), 
allowing the vehicle to be moved.
Tether Strap
NOTE:When the lever is locked in the released position, 
the tether will remain outside of the trim panel and 
the access cover cannot be reinstalled.
5. Release the parking brake only when the vehicle is securely connected to a tow vehicle.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage 
your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H”, 
pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle 
with the air conditioner turned off until the 
pointer drops back into the normal range. If the 
pointer remains on the “H”, turn the engine off 
immediately, and call for service.
WARNING!
You should be seated in the driver’s seat with 
your foot firmly placed on the brake pedal to 
maintain control of the vehicle before activating 
the Manual Park Release. If possible, you should 
apply the parking brake. Activating the Manual 
Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if 
it is not secured or properly connected to a tow 
vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on 
an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious 
injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.
22_RUP_OM_EN_USC_t.book  Page 304   
Page 307 of 384
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY305
To Reset The Manual Park Release:
1. Apply firm pressure to the brake pedal while  seated in the driver’s seat.
2. Pull the tether strap out again, then release it.
3. Allow the tether to retract with the lever back  to its original position.
4. Verify that the transmission is in PARK (P).
5. Confirm that the tether has retracted fully  and reinstall the access cover. If the access 
cover cannot be reinstalled, repeat 
steps 1 through 4.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE 
If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or 
snow, it can often be moved using a rocking 
motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to 
clear the area around the front wheels. Then shift 
back and forth between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE 
(R) while gently pressing the accelerator.
NOTE:Shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE can only be 
achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or 
less. Whenever the transmission remains in 
NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must 
press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE or 
REVERSE.
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal 
pressure that will maintain the rocking motion 
without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.
NOTE:Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial Off” 
mode, before rocking the vehicle  Ú page 225. 
Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF 
button again to restore “ESC On” mode.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces 
generated by excessive wheel speeds may 
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and 
tires. A tire could explode and injure someone. 
Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 
30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 
30 seconds continuously without stopping when 
you are stuck and do not let anyone near a 
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may 
lead to transmission overheating and failure. 
Allow the engine to idle with the transmission 
in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every 
five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize 
overheating and reduce the risk of transmis -
sion failure during prolonged efforts to free a 
stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting 
between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not spin the 
wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or 
drivetrain damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too 
fast may lead to transmission overheating and 
failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not 
spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) 
while in gear (no transmission shifting 
occurring).

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE  
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to 
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars 
and other equipment designed for this purpose, 
following equipment manufacturer’s instructions. 
Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar 
or other towing device to main structural members 
of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumper or associated 
brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles 
under tow must be observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake 
feature is disabled before towing this vehicle (if 
rear wheels are on the ground), to avoid inadver -
tent Electric Park Brake (EPB) engagement. The 
Auto Park Brake feature is enabled or disabled 
via the customer programmable features in the 
Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery or total elec -
trical failure when the EPB is engaged, will need 
a wheel dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off 
the ground when moving the vehicle onto a 
flatbed.
FCA US LLC recommends towing your vehicle with 
all four wheels  OFF the ground using a flatbed. If flatbed equipment is not available, this vehicle 
must be towed with the front wheels 
OFF the 
ground (using a towing dolly, or wheel lift 
equipment with the front wheels raised).
NOTE:Ensure that the Electric Park Brake is released, 
and remains released, while being towed.
