- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
• If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes on continuously withthe engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the ESC system. If this
light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven
several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), we
recommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
• The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” starts to flash as soon as the tires lose traction and the ESC system becomes active. If the light begins to flash
during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as
possible. Be sure to adapt your speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions.
The light also flashes when TCS is active. To improve the vehicle's traction when
starting off in deep snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC
system to Partial Off mode by momentarily pressing the ESC Off
switch located
below the climate controls, on the switch panel.
- Charging System Light
• This light shows the status of the electrical charging system. If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with
the charging system.
• We recommend you do not continue driving if the charging system light is on. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Oil Pressure Warning Light
• This light indicates low engine oil pressure. If the light turns on while driving, stopthe vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four
minutes when this light turns on.
• We recommend you do not operate the vehicle or engine damage will occur. Have the vehicle serviced immediately.
- Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
• This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, werecommend you drive to the nearest service center and have the vehicle serviced
immediately.
- Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
• This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)system.
• If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is
placed in the PARK position; the light should turn off.
• If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized service center immediately. If the light is
flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may
experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your
vehicle may require towing.

- Air Bag Warning Light
• If the light is not on during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have thevehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
Fuel Cap/Loose Gas Cap Message
• If a “gas cap” message (shown as Check Gascap) appears, tighten the gas capuntil a “clicking” sound is heard.
• If the message continues to appear for more than three days after tightening the gas cap, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center immediately.
Oil Change Indicator
Message
• If an “oil change” message (shown as Oil Change Due) appears and a single chime sounds, it is time for your next required oil change.
Resetting The Light After Servicing
Vehicles Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™ • Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
• Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
Vehicles Not Equipped With Keyless Enter-N-Go™
• Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position (Do not start the engine.)
• Fully depress the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
• Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
• In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not increase engine idle speed.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat
condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling
system.

2. Turn the engine off, place the transmission in PARK, fully depress the pedal tothe floor to set the parking brake, and activate the Hazard Warning flashers.
3. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the
vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
Jacking Instructions
1. Loosen the lug nuts on the road wheel one turn while still on the ground, but
do not remove.
2. Determine the jacking location on the side of the vehicle. Attach the jack
tool with the hook, the extension and
the lug wrench to the jack as shown.

4. For a rear tire, place the jack in the slot on the rear tie-down bracket, just forwardof the rear tire (as indicated by the triangular lift point symbol on the sill
molding). Do not raise the vehicle until you are sure the jack is fully engaged.
5. Raise the vehicle by turning the jack screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle
just enough to remove the flat tire.
6. Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
7. Install the temporary spare wheel/tire and lightly tighten the lug nuts prior
to lowering to prevent the vehicle from
moving on the jack.
8. Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove
the jack.
9. Finish tightening the lug nuts. Push down on the wrench while at the end
of the handle for increased leverage.
Tighten the lug nuts in a star pattern
until each nut has been tightened
twice. The correct wheel nut tightness
is 110 ft lbs (150 N·m). If in doubt
about the correct tightness, have
them checked with a torque wrench
by your authorized dealer or at a
service station.

10. Remove the Dodge center cap using a jack tool from inside the aluminum roadwheel and snap on the protective plastic plate.
NOTE: The plastic plate will prevent the road wheel from being scratched when sliding
it under the vehicle.
11. Stand the wheel up against the bumper with the plastic plate facing
you.
12. Slide the cable end, spring and metal tube through the wheel and
plastic plate. Rotate the stamping on
the cable and push it through the
wheel and plastic plate. Snap the
stamping into place.
13. Slide the road wheel on the ground using the protective plate until it is
directly under the winch and
between the rear bumper and
exhaust system heat shields. Raise
the tire by turning the lug wrench on
the winch extension clockwise until
it clicks/skips three times to make
sure the cable is tight.
NOTE:
Double check to ensure the tire is
snug against the underbody of the vehicle.
Damage to the winch cable may result if
the vehicle is driven with the tire loose.
14. Lower the jack to the fully closed position. Return the tools to the
proper positions in the tool bag. Fold
the flap on the tool bag under the
tools and roll the tools in the bag
underneath the others. Use the
Velcro straps to secure the tool bag
to the jack with the lug wrench on
the forward side of the jack. Expand
the jack on the bracket by turning
the thumb screw clockwise until it is
tight to prevent rattles.

WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to movingtraffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
• Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never put any part of your body
under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to be used as a tool for changing tires only. The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle should
be jacked on a firm level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Turn on the Hazard Warning flasher.
• Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
• Set the parking brake firmly and set the automatic transmission in PARK.
• Never start or run the engine with the vehicle on a jack.
• Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a jack.
• Only use the jack in the positions indicated and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
• If working on or near a roadway, be extremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are securely stowed, spares must be stowed with the valve stem facing the ground.
• Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle:
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it. Raise the vehicle only
enough to remove the tire.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not fully tighten the wheel nuts until the vehicle has been lowered. Failure to follow this warning
may result in personal injury.
• Do not use power tools to winch the tire up or down. Impact-type tools may damage the winch mechanism.
• A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in
the places provided.
• To avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the lug nuts fully until the vehicle is lowered to the ground.
