WARNING!
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your

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 o! the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones,
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 o! 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. Chrysler and Town & Country are
registered trademarks of Chrysler Group LLC. 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.

Supplemental Side Air Bags
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSeat-MountedSideAirBags(SABs)locatedin
the outboard side of the front seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG
label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithSupplementalSideAirBagInflatableCurtains(SABICs)located
above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG.
The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in certain side impact events.
•TheSABICsandSABs(“SideAirBags”)aredesignedtoactivateincertainsideimpactsand
certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”) determines whether the
deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side impact or rollover event is appropriate,
based on the severity and type of collision. Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of
whether or not Side Air Bags should have deployed.
WARNING!
• Side Air Bags need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window. Sit upright in
the center of the seat.
•BeingtooclosetotheSideAirBagsduringdeploymentcouldcauseyoutobeseverely

Side Air Bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, Side Air
Bags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have Side Air Bags.
•ThisvehicleisequippedwithleftandrightSupplementalSideAirBagInflatableCurtains
(SABICs). Do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the deployment
of the SABICs. The trim covering above the side windows where the SABIC and its
deployment path are located should remain free from any obstructions.

of the vehicle for any reason.

Third Row Seats
Third Row Power Recliner
The power recline feature, located on the side of the seat cushion, adjusts the seatback angle
forward/rearward for occupant comfort.
Third Row Power Seat Switch
NOTE:
Disconnect the center shoulder belt from the
small buckle and lower the head restraints be-
fore attempting to fold/stow the power third
row seats.
A one-touch power folding seat switch is located
in the left rear trim panel as part of a switch bank.
Left and right third row seats can be folded
individually or together. The third row power
folding seats adjust to multiple positions.
The switch is only functional when the liftgate is
open and the vehicle is in PARK.
To abort seat operation while the seat is in
motion, press a different seat position selector
switch to stop the seat. Once the seat stops moving, then the desired position can be selected.
The third row power seat system includes obstacle detection for safe operation. When the system
detects an obstacle, the motors will stop and reverse the motion a short distance to move the seat
away from the obstacle. Should this occur, remove the obstacle and press the button again for the
desired position.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for manual third row seat folding instructions.

ELECTRONIC RANGE SELECTION (ERS)
Electronic Range Select (ERS) allows you to limit the highest available transmission gear, and
can be activated during any driving condition. When towing a trailer or operating the vehicle in
off-road conditions, using ERS shift control will help you maximize both performance and engine
braking.
•To shift from DRIVE mode to ERS mode,
move the shift lever to the left (-) once. The
current gear will be maintained as the top
gear. To disable ERS, simply press and hold
the shift lever to the right (+) until “D” is
displayed in the instrument cluster odometer.
Switching between ERS and DRIVE mode can
be done at any vehicle speed.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for
further details.
