IDENTIFICATION DATA
Vehicle Identification Number
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is on the left front
corner of the instrument panel. The VIN is visible from
outside of the vehicle through the windshield. This number
also appears on the Automobile Information Disclosure
Label affixed to a window on your vehicle, the vehicle
registration, and the title.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is also located on
the right front strut tower inside the engine compartment.NOTE:
It is illegal to remove or alter the VIN.
BRAKE SYSTEM
Your vehicle is equipped with dual hydraulic brake sys-
tems. If either of the two hydraulic systems loses normal
capability, the remaining system will still function. There
will be some loss of overall braking effectiveness. This may
be evident by increased pedal travel during application,
greater pedal force required to slow or stop, and potential
activation of the Brake Warning Light.

404 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for
example, repeated brake applications with the engine
OFF), the brakes will still function. The effort required to
brake the vehicle will be much greater than that required
with the power system operating.
WHEEL AND TIRE TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Proper lug nut/bolt torque is very important to ensure that
the wheel is properly mounted to the vehicle. Any time a
wheel has been removed and reinstalled on the vehicle, the
lug nuts/bolts should be torqued using a properly cali-
brated torque wrench using a high quality six sided (hex)
deep wall socket.

Socket Size
130 Ft-Lbs (176 N·m) M14 x 1.50 22 mm
**Use only your authorized dealer recommended lug nuts/
bolts and clean or remove any dirt or oil before tightening.
Inspect the wheel mounting surface prior to mounting the
tire and remove any corrosion or loose particles.
Tighten the lug nuts/bolts in a star pattern until each
nut/bolt has been tightened twice. Ensure that the socket is
fully engaged on the lug nut/bolt (do not insert it halfway).
NOTE: If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them
checked with a torque wrench by your authorized dealer or
service station.
After 25 miles (40 km), check the lug nut/bolt torque to be
sure that all the lug nuts/bolts are properly seated against
the wheel.

ComponentFluid, Lubricant, or Genuine Part
8-Speed Automatic Transmission Use only Mopar ZF 8&9 Speed ATF Automatic Transmission Fluid, or equiva- lent. Failure to use the correct fluid may affect the function or performance of
your transmission.

If Equipped We recommend you use Mopar ATF+4 Automatic Transmission Fluid.
Brake Master Cylinder We recommend you use Mopar DOT 3, SAE J1703. If DOT 3 brake fluid is not
available, then DOT 4 is acceptable.
Front Axle We recommend you use Mopar Synthetic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W90
(API GL-5).
Rear Axle – 3.6L/5.7L Engine With
Automatic Transmission We recommend you use Mopar OD Synthetic Gear Lubricant SAE 75W85
(API GL-5).

Safety & Driving Assistance
After pressing the “Safety & Driving Assistance” button on
the touchscreen, the following settings will be available:
Setting NameSelectable Options
Forward Collision Warn- ing Sensitivity— If Equipped Near
Far
NOTE:
The Front Collision Warning (FCW) feature provides an audible and/or visual warning to potential forward colli-
sions. The feature can be set to Far, or set to Near. The default status of FCW is the Far setting. This means the sys-
tem will warn you of a possible collision with the vehicle in front of you when you are farther away. This gives you
the most reaction time. To change the setting for more dynamic driving, select the Near setting. This warns you of a
possible collision when you are much closer to the vehicle in front of you. Forward Collision Warn-ing Active Braking — If Equipped Low
Medium High
NOTE:
The “Forward Collision Warning Plus (FCW+)” setting includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). The ABA applies ad-
ditional brake pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision.

Setting NameSelectable Options
The FCW system state is kept in memory from one ignition cycle to the next. If the system is turned OFF, it will re-
main off when the vehicle is restarted. Forward Collision Warn-ing Active Braking — If Equipped On
Off
NOTE:
The “Forward Collision Warning Plus (FCW+)” setting includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). The ABA applies ad-
ditional brake pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. Electric Power Steering
Default — If Equipped Sport
Normal Comfort
NOTE:
When Electric Power Steering Default is selected, it allows you to change the default setting of your vehicle to either
normal, sport, or comfort.
ParkSense — If Equipped Sound Only Sound & Display
NOTE:
The ParkSense system will scan for objects behind the vehicle when the gear selector is in REVERSE and the vehicle
speed is less than 7 mph (11 km/h). It will provide an alert (audible and/or visual) to indicate the proximity to other
objects. The system can be enabled with Sound Only, or Sound and Display.
