WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it
represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all essentials that
are traditional to our vehicles.
Your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle has characteristics to enhance the driver's control
under some driving conditions. These are to assist the driver and are never a substitute for
attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.
Your new vehicle has many features for the comfort and convenience of you and your
passengers. Some of these should not be used when driving because they take your eyes
from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving or take your eyes more
than momentarily off the road.
This guide illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either
standard or optional on this vehicle. This guide may also include a description of features
and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please
disregard any features and equipment described in this guide that are not available on this
vehicle. Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and specifica-
tions and/or make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any
obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.
This User Guide has been prepared to help you quickly become acquainted with the
important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to operate and
maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.
The DVD includes a computer application containing detailed owner's information which
can be viewed on a personal computer or Mac computer. The multimedia DVD also includes
videos which can be played on any standard DVD player (including the Uconnect® Touch-
Screen Radios). Additional DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD
sleeve.
For complete owner information, refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD in the owner’s
kit provided at the time of new vehicle purchase.For your convenience, the information
contained on the DVD may also be printed and saved for future reference.
Chrysler Group LLC is committed to protecting our environment and natural resources. By
converting from paper to electronic delivery for the majority of the user information for your
vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and lessen the
stress on our environment.

Engine Starting/Stopping
Starting
• With a valid Keyless Enter-N-Go™ Key Fobinside the vehicle.
• Place the shift lever in PARK or NEUTRAL.
• While pressing the brake pedal, press the ENGINE START/STOP button once. If the
engine fails to start, the starter will disen-
gage automatically after 10 seconds.
• To stop the cranking of the engine prior to the engine starting, press the button
again.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the RKE transmit-
ter (Key Fob) may have a low or dead battery.
In this situation a back up method can be
used to operate the ignition switch. Put the nose side of the Key Fob against the ENGINE
START/STOP button and push to operate the ignition switch.
Stopping
• Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
• Place the shift lever in the PARK position.
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once. The ignition switch will return to the OFF position.
NOTE:
If the shift lever is not in PARK and the vehicle is in motion, the ENGINE START/STOP
button must be held for two seconds with the vehicle speed above 5 mph (8 km/h) before
the engine will shut off.
Accessory Positions with Engine Off
NOTE:
The following functions are with the driver’s foot OFF the Brake Pedal (Transmission in PARK
or NEUTRAL Position).
Starting With The Ignition Switch In The OFF Position:
• Press the ENGINE START/STOP button once to change the ignition switch to the ACC position.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
• A long break-in period is not required for the engine and drivetrain (transmission andaxle) in your vehicle.
• Drive moderately during the first 300 miles (500 km). After the initial 60 miles (100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or 90 km/h) are desirable.
• While cruising, brief full-throttle acceleration within the limits of local traffic laws contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open throttle acceleration in low gear can be
detrimental and should be avoided.
• The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur. For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, refer to “Maintaining Your Vehicle”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not interpreted as
an indication to an engine problem or malfunction.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may result.
TURN SIGNAL/WIPER/WASHER/HIGH BEAM LEVER
Turn Signal/Lane Change Assist
• Tap the lever up or down once and the turn signal (right or left) will flash three times and automatically turn off.

WARNING!
• Do not let children play with the sunroof, or leave children unattended in the vehiclewith the key fob in or near the vehicle. Occupants, particularly unattended children,
can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power sunroof
switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an open
sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat belt
properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
• Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
• Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
• If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any window. This will minimize buffeting.
SIX-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
• This vehicle may be equipped with a fuel efficient Dual-Dry Clutch, Six Speed AutomaticTransmission. This transmission offers a sportier driving experience with faster
AutoStick® shifting.
• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This behavior is
normal and is similar to vehicles equipped with a manual transmission.
NOTE:
• Very aggressive driving may result in some clutch odor similar to a manual transmission. An active warning message will display in the Instrument Cluster if cool down actions are
needed.
•
The first few shifts on a new vehicle may be somewhat abrupt. This is a normal condition,
and precision shifts will develop within a few hundred miles (kilometers).
• At low speeds you may hear mechanical noises similar to a manual transmission as the transmission changes gears. These noises are normal and will not damage the trans-
mission.
• Before and after the engine is started, you may hear a hydraulic pump for a short period of time. This noise is normal and will not damage the transmission.
Shifting The Transmission
• The transmission shift lever position (PRND) is displayed both on the shift lever and in the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

• To drive, depress the brake pedal, press the button on the front of the shift lever and movethe shift lever from PARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position.
• Manual shifts can also be made using the AutoStick® shift control.
• This transmission is programmed to prevent shifting from Reverse to Drive or Drive to Reverse, if vehicle speed is above 6 mph (10 km/h). This safety feature helps protect your
transmission from damage.
NOTE:
• When stopped on an incline, it is recommended that you always hold the vehicle in place using the brakes. On steep inclines, Hill Start Assist (HSA) will temporarily hold the car in
position when the brake pedal is released. If the accelerator pedal is not applied after a
short time, the car will roll back. Either reapply the brake (to hold the vehicle) or press the
accelerator to climb the hill.
• During acceleration, gear changes will feel smooth compared to a vehicle with a tradi- tional manual transmission. This is a benefit of the dual clutch design that avoids power
loss during up-shifts.
Instrument Cluster Messages
• Messages will be displayed in the instrument cluster (if equipped with an EVIC) to alert the driver when certain conditions occur. These messages are described below.
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION
GEAR NOT AVAILABLE In AutoStick® mode, the gear selected by the
driver is not available due to a fault condi-
tion. See your authorized dealer for diagnosis and service.
