WELCOME FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it

attentive driving. They can never take the driver's place. Always drive carefully.

from the road or your attention from driving. Never text while driving or take your eyes more
than momentarily off the road.

important features of your vehicle. It contains most things you will need to operate and
maintain the vehicle, including emergency information.

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®To u c h s c r e e n R a d i o s i f e q u i p p e d w i t h D V D p l a y e r c a p a b i l i t i e s ) . A d d i t i o n a l
DVD operational information is located on the back of the DVD sleeve.

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.

your vehicle, together we greatly reduce the demand for tree-based products and lessen
the stress on our environment.
