INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting your new
vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workman -
ship, distinctive styling, and high quality.
This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and
perform tasks that are not intended for conventional
passenger vehicles. It handles and maneuvers differently
from many passenger vehicles both on-road and off-road, so
take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped,
the two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed for
on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving or
use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel drive
vehicle. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle
controls, particularly those used for braking, steering, trans -
mission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle
handles on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will
improve with experience. When driving off-road, or
working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the
vehicle to overcome the natural laws of physics. Always
observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever
you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
a collision. Refer to the “Driving Tips” in “Starting and Oper -
ating” for further information.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with the assistance
of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with
the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is supple -
mented by Warranty Information, and customer oriented
documents. In the attached Warranty Booklet you will find a
description of the services that FCA offers to its customers,
the Warranty Certificate and the details of the terms and
conditions for maintaining its validity. Please take the time
to read all of these publications carefully before driving your
vehicle for the first time. Following the instructions, recom -
mendations, tips, and important warnings in this manual
will help assure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
This Owner’s Manual describes all versions of this vehicle.
Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or
versions are not expressly indicated in the text. Therefore,
you should only consider the information which is related to
the trim level, engine, and version that you have purchased.
Any content introduced throughout the Owner’s Informa -
tion, that may or may not be applicable to your vehicle, will

To Enter Remote Start Mode
Push and release the Remote Start button on the key
fob twice within five seconds. The parking lights
will flash, vehicle doors will lock, and the horn will
chirp twice (if programmed). Once the vehicle has started,
the engine will run for 15 minutes.

• If your power door locks were unlocked, Remote Start will
automatically lock the doors.
• If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low, the vehicle
will start and then shut down in 10 seconds.
• The park lamps will turn on and remain on during Remote
Start mode.
• For security, power window and power sunroof operation
(if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is in the
Remote Start mode.
• The engine can be started two consecutive times (two
15-minute cycles) with the key fob. However, the ignition
must be placed in the ON/RUN position before you can
repeat the start sequence for a third cycle. To Exit Remote Start Mode Without Driving The
Vehicle
Push and release the remote start button one time or allow

steering wheel can be programmed to come on during a
remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect
system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.WARNING!
Do not adjust the steering column while driving.
Adjusting the steering column while driving or driving
with the steering column unlocked, could cause the
driver to lose control of the vehicle. Failure to follow this
warning may result in serious injury or death.
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 conditions 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 insu -
lates against heat, such as a blanket or steering wheel
covers of any type and material. This may cause the
steering wheel heater to overheat.

DRIVER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS — IF EQUIPPED
The adjustable pedals system is designed to allow a greater
range of driver comfort for steering wheel tilt and seat posi -
tion. This feature allows the brake and accelerator pedals to
move toward or away from the driver to provide improved
position with the steering wheel.
The adjustable pedal switch is located to the left side of the
steering column.
Adjustable Pedals Switch
• The pedals can be adjusted with the ignition OFF.
• The pedals cannot be adjusted when the vehicle is in
REVERSE or when the Speed Control System is on. The

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE 67
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) — If Equipped
The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the
engine is started and the transmission is in any gear except
PARK. This provides a constant "lights on" condition until
the ignition is turned OFF. The lights illuminate at less than
half of normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied, the
Daytime Running Lights (DRL) will turn off. Also, if a turn
signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the same side of the
vehicle may turn off for the duration of the turn signal acti -
vation. Once the turn signal is no longer active, the DRL
lamp will illuminate.
NOTE:
If allowed by law in the country in which the vehicle was
purchased, the Daytime Running Lights can be turned on
and off using the Uconnect System, refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Multimedia” for further information.
High/Low Beam Switch
Push the multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to
switch the headlights to high beam. Pulling the multifunc -
tion lever back toward the steering wheel will turn the low
beams back on, or shut the high beams off. Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control — If
Equipped
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control system
provides increased forward lighting at night by automating
high beam control through the use of a digital camera
mounted on the inside rearview mirror. This camera detects
vehicle specific light and automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle is out of
view.
NOTE:
• The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control can be
turned on or off by selecting “ON” under “Auto Dim High
Beams” within your Uconnect settings, as well as turning
the headlight switch to the AUTO position. Refer to
“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further informa -
tion.
• Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of
vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain
on longer (closer to the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other
obstructions on the windshield or camera lens will cause
the system to function improperly. 2
