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. 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.

WARNING
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

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. D

l: 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.
