WARNING!
• Be certain that the seatback is securely locked into position. If the seatback isnot securely locked into position the seat will not provide the proper stability
for child seats and/or passengers. An improperly latched seat could cause
serious injury.
• The cargo area in the rear of the vehicle (with the rear seatbacks in the
locked-up or folded down position) should not be used as a play area by
children when the vehicle is in motion. They could be seriously injured in a
collision. Children should be seated and using the proper restraint system.
Reclining Rear Seat
To recline the seatback, lift the lever located on the outboard side of the seat, lean
back and release the lever at the desired position. To return the seatback, lift the
lever, lean forward and release the lever.
WARNING!
Do not ride with the seatback reclined so that the shoulder belt is no longer resting
against your chest. In a collision you could slide under the seat belt, which could
result in serious injury or death.
HEATED/VENTILATED SEATS
Front Heated Seats
The front heated seats control buttons are located within the climate or controls

Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote start, the heated seats can be programmed
to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding 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, exhaus-
tion or other physical condition 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 or seatback 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.
Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard seats are equipped with heated seats. The heated
seat switches for these seats are located on the rear of the center console. There are
two heated seat switches
that allow the rear passengers to operate the seats

CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
NOTE:
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 break-in and not
interpreted as an indication of difficulty. Please check your oil level with the engine
oil indicator often during the break in period. Add oil as required.
6.4L Engine Break-In
For vehicles equipped with the 6.4L use the following engine break-in recommendations:
Despite modern technology and World Class manufacturing methods, the moving
parts of the vehicle must still wear in with each other. This wearing in occurs mainly
during the first 500 miles (805 km) and continues through the first oil change
interval.
It is recommended for the operator to observe the following driving behaviors during
the new vehicle break-in period:
0 to 100 miles (0 to 160 km):
• Do not allow the engine to operate at idle for an extended period of time.
• Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration.
• Avoid aggressive braking.
• Drive with the engine speed less than 3,500 RPM.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 55 mph (88 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
100 to 300 miles (160 to 483 km):
• Depress the accelerator pedal slowly and not more than halfway to avoid rapid acceleration in lower gears (1st to 3rd gears).
• Avoid aggressive braking.
• Drive with the engine speed less than 5,000 RPM.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 70 mph (112 km/h) and observe local speed limits.
300 to 500 miles (483 to 805 km):
• Exercise the full engine rpm range, shifting manually (paddles or gear shift) at higher rpms when possible.
• Do not perform sustained operation with the accelerator pedal at wide open throttle.
• Maintain vehicle speed below 85 mph (136 km/h) and observe local speed limits.

The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be regulated by rotating the
dimmer control up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the headlights are on you can
supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and overhead
console by rotating the control to its farthest position up until you hear a click. This
feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when headlights are required
during the day.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
The multifunction lever is located on the left side of the steering column.
Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows on each side of the
instrument cluster flash to show proper operation of the front and rear turn signal
lights.
NOTE:
If either light remains on and does not flash, or there is a very fast flash rate, check
for a defective outside light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is moved,
it would suggest that the indicator bulb is defective.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond the detent, and the turn signal
(right or left) will flash three times then automatically turn off.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to switch the headlights to
high beams. Pulling the multifunction back toward the steering wheel will turn the
low beams back on, or shut the high beams off.

Distance Setting (ACC Only)
The specified following distance for ACC can be set by varying the distance setting
between four bars (longest), three bars (long), two bars (medium) and one bar (short).
Using this distance setting and the vehicle speed, ACC calculates and sets the
distance to the vehicle ahead. This distance setting displays in the DID.
• To increase the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Increase button andrelease. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting increases by one bar
(longer).
• To decrease the distance setting, push the Distance Setting—Decrease button and release. Each time the button is pushed, the distance setting decreases by one
bar (shorter).
ACC Operation At Stop
If the ACC system brings your vehicle to a standstill while following a target vehicle,
if the target vehicle starts moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming to a
standstill, your vehicle will resume motion without the need for any driver action.
If the target vehicle does not start moving within two seconds of your vehicle coming
to a standstill, the driver will either have to push the RES (resume) button, or apply
the accelerator pedal to reengage the ACC to the existing Set Speed.
While the ACC system is holding your vehicle at a standstill, if the driver seatbelt is
unbuckled or the driver door is opened, the parking brake will be activated, and the
ACC system will be cancelled.
Changing Modes (ACC Only)
If desired, the Adaptive Cruise Control mode can be turned off and the system can be
operated as a normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode. When in the normal (Fixed
Speed) Speed Control mode the distance setting feature will be disabled and the
system will maintain the speed you set.
• To change between the different cruise control modes, push the ADAPTIVECRUISE CONTROL (ACC) ON/OFF button which turns the ACC and the normal
(Fixed Speed) Speed Control OFF.
• Pushing the normal (Fixed Speed) SPEED CONTROL ON/OFF button will result in turning ON (changing to) the normal (Fixed Speed) Speed Control mode.

FORWARD COLLISION WARNING (FCW)
The Forward Collision Warning (FCW) system provides the driver with audible
warnings and visual warnings within the Driver Information Display (DID), to warn the
driver when it detects a potential frontal collision. The warnings are intended to
provide the driver with enough time to react, avoid or mitigate the potential collision.
NOTE:
FCW monitors the information from the forward looking sensors as well as the
Electronic Brake Controller (EBC), to calculate the probability of a forward collision.
When the system determines that a forward collision is probable, the driver will be
provided with audible and visual warnings.
Turning FCW ON Or OFF
The forward collision button is located in the Uconnect display in the controls
settings.
• To turn the FCW system OFF, press the forward collision button once to turn thesystem OFF.
• To turn the FCW system back ON, press the forward collision button again to turn the system ON.
NOTE:
• The default status of FCW is “On”, this allows the system to warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you.
• Changing the FCW status to “Off” prevents the system from warning you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you. If FCW is set to “Off”, “FCW
OFF” will be displayed in the Driver Information Display (DID).
Changing FCW Status
The FCW feature has three settings and can be changed within the Uconnect System
Screen:
• Far
• Medium
• Near
Far
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.
More cautious drivers that do not mind frequent warnings may prefer this setting.
NOTE:
This setting gives you the most reaction time.

wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid, causing a collision or
personal injury.
FUEL ECONOMY (ECO) MODE
The Fuel Economy (ECO) mode can improve the vehicle's overall fuel economy during
normal driving conditions. Push the “ECO” switch in the center stack of the
instrument panel to activate or disable ECO mode. An amber light on the switch
indicates when ECO mode is disabled.
When the Fuel Economy (ECO) Mode is
engaged, the vehicle control systems will
change the following:
• The transmission will upshift sooner and downshift later.
• The overall driving performance will be more conservative.
• Some ECO mode functions may be temporarily inhibited based on tem-
perature and other factors.
Active Noise Cancellation — Summit
And SRT Models Only
Your vehicle is equipped with an Active
Noise Cancellation System. This system
uses four microphones embedded in the headliner to detect undesirable exhaust
noise. An onboard frequency generator creates counteracting sound waves through
the audio system to help keep the vehicle quiet.ECO Switch

behind the vehicle that is within the sensors field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 79 inches (200 cm) from the
rear fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense sensors, located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in
front of the vehicle that is within the sensors’ field of view. The sensors can detect
obstacles from approximately 12 inches (30 cm) up to 47 inches (120 cm) from the
front fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
When an object is detected within 79 inches (200 cm) behind the rear bumper while
the vehicle is in REVERSE, a warning will display in the Driver Information Display
(DID). In addition a chime will sound (when Sound and Display is selected from the
Customer Programmable Features section of the Uconnect System screen). As the
vehicle moves closer to the object, the chime rate will change from single 1/2 second
tone (for rear only), to slow (for rear only), to fast, to continuous.
