SHIFT LEVER OVERRIDE
• If a malfunction occurs and the shift levercannot be moved out of the PARK posi-
tion, you can use the following procedure
to temporarily move the shift lever:• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF posi-
tion.
• Firmly set the parking brake.
•
Remove the rubber storage tray liner
from the center console, then lift up the
front of the shift lever bezel, carefully
disengage the bezel from the shift lever
housing, and slide it up to the top of the
shift lever.
• Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
• Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool down into the access slot at the front of the shift lever assembly, and push and hold the
white override release lever down.
• Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position.
• The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
• Reinstall the shift lever bezel (use care to avoid pinching the wiring), and the rubber storage tray liner.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your manual transmission vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it can often bemoved by a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area
around the front wheels. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE/1st Gear and RE-
VERSE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain the rocking motion,
without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
NOTE:
• Automatic transmission vehicles cannot be rocked in this manner, because the trans- mission will not allow shifts between DRIVE and REVERSE while the wheels are turning.
• If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or Traction Control
,
turn the system off before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and
failure. Allow the engine to idle with the shift lever in NEUTRAL for at least one minute
after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce the
risk of transmission failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by moving between DRIVE/1st gear and REVERSE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
• Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission over-
heating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above
30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occurring).
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may
cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and injure
someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer
than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let
anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels, should becleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use oven
cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective finish. Avoid automatic car
washes that use acidic solutions or harsh brushes that may damage the wheel's protec-
tive finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.

* CHMSL is not serviceable. It is a LED lamp. To replace the LED, the entire CHMSL assembly
must be replaced.
** The headlamps are a type of high-voltage discharge tube. High voltage can remain in the
circuit even with the headlamp switch off and the key removed. Because of this, you should
not attempt to service a headlamp bulb yourself. If a headlamp bulb fails, take your vehicle
to an authorized dealer for service.
