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 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 collision. Texting while driving is also
dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving.
i f you find yourself unable to
devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle.
s ome s tates or Provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while
driving.
i t is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
if you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you

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 specifica-
tions and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any
obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the
important features of your vehicle. It contains most things 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 Uconnect® 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.
