high quality filters should be used to assure most efficient
service. Mopar engine oil filters are high quality oil filters
and are recommended.

cleaner, hoses, etc.) unless such removal is necessary

Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust
system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system;
or if the exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle;
or when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged;
have an authorized technician inspect the complete ex-
haust system and adjacent body areas for broken, dam-
aged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts. Open seams or
loose connections could permit exhaust fumes to seep into
the passenger compartment. In addition, have the exhaust
system inspected each time the vehicle is raised for lubri-
cation or oil change. Replace as required.
WARNING!
•Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon
monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless.
Breathing it can make you unconscious and can
eventually poison you. To avoid breathing CO, refer
to “Safety Tips” in “Safety” for further information.
• A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over
materials that can burn. Such materials might be

WARNING! (Continued)
grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust
system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact anything that
can burn.
CAUTION!
•The catalytic converter requires the use of unleaded
fuel only. Leaded gasoline will destroy the effective-
ness of the catalyst as an emissions control device
and may seriously reduce engine performance and
cause serious damage to the engine.
• Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your
vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In
the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv-
ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor-
mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly. Contin-
ued operation of your vehicle with a severe
malfunction could cause the converter to overheat,
resulting in possible damage to the converter and
vehicle.

Far
NOTE:
The Forward 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 warns 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 pos-
sible collision when you are much closer to the vehicle in front of you. Forward Collision Warn-
ing (FCW) — Active Brak- ing — If Equipped On
Off
NOTE:
The FCW system includes Advanced Brake Assist (ABA). When this feature is selected, the ABA applies additional
brake pressure when the driver requests insufficient brake pressure to avoid a potential frontal collision. The ABA
system becomes active at 5 mph (8 km/h). To make your selection, press the “Forward Collision Warning Active
Braking” button on the touchscreen, until a check-mark appears next to setting, indicating that the setting had been
selected.
