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. Copyright 2014 Chrysler Group LLC.
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
mopar.com (U.S.), mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Chrysler dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL: 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.
WARNING
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.

others could be seriously or fatally injured. Children should be warned not to touch the
parking brake, brake pedal or the shift lever/gear selector.
• Never use the ‘PARK’ position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or
