WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway \
motor vehicle can expose you to
chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lea\
d, which are known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the
engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash\
your hands frequently
when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
This Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipme\
nt that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This manual 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
manual that are not on this vehicle. FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and specificat\
ions, and/or make additions to or improvements to its
products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on \
products previously manufactured.
With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall b\
e deemed to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.
If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you may \
obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Warranty Booklet by calling 1-800-423-6343 (U.S.) or
1-800-387-1143 (Canada) or by contacting your dealer.
This Owner’s Manual is intended to familiarize you with the important features of y\
our vehicle. Your most up-to-date Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals and
Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the back cover. U.S. residents can purchase replacement kits by visiting www.techauthority.com and Canadian
residents can purchase replacement kits by calling 1-800-387-1143.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident and
personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution whe\
n using any device or feature that may take their attention off the road.
Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, p\
ortable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving
is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while th\
e vehicle is moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the \
road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of
cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’\
s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Dodg\
e brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference source
for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For add\
itional information, visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local
Dodge brand dealer.
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend or use
public transportation.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judg\
ment is impaired
when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
