TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
•This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial
wrecker service.
Towing Condition Wheels OFF The Ground Single-Speed Transmission
Flat Tow NONE
NOT ALLOWED
Wheel LiftRear
NOT ALLOWED
Front OK
Flatbed
ALLOK
•This vehicle must be towed on a flatbed truck or vehicle trailer with the front wheels
OFF the ground.
•If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN position.
•If the ignition key is unavailable, or the battery is discharged, see “Manual Park Release”
in “What To Do In Emergencies” for instructions on shifting the transmission out of
PARK for towing.
CAUTION!
•DO NOT use sling-type equipment when towing.Vehicle damage may occur.
•When securing the vehicle to a flatbed truck, do not attach to front or rear sus-
pension components.Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.

ENHANCED ACCIDENT RESPONSE SYSTEM
•In the event of an impact causing air bag deployment, if the communication network
and power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event, the ORC will deter-
mine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the following
functions:
•Disable the high voltage battery.
•Place the transmission into PARK.
•Flash hazard lights as long as the 12 Volt battery has power or until the ignition key is
turned off.
•Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as long as the 12 Volt battery has power
or until the ignition key is removed.
•Unlock the doors automatically.
•In order to move your vehicle to the side of the road the transmission must be in
NEUTRAL and the 12 Volt system must be functional.To place the transmission into
NEUTRAL you must turn the ignition OFF and then back to the RUN position (cycle
the ignition) then press the NEUTRAL button.
NOTE:
The high voltage battery will remain disabled after an Enhanced Accident Response Event
and must be reset by your authorized dealership.
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
•If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved using a
rocking motion.Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the
front wheels.Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE while gently
pressing the accelerator.Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will
maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels.
NOTE:
Press the “ESC Off ” switch, to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Par-
tial Off ” mode, before rocking the vehicle.Refer to “Electronic Brake Control” in “Start-
ing And Operating” for further information.Once the vehicle has been freed, press the
“ESC Off ” switch again to restore “ESC On” mode.
CAUTION!
•When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE and REVERSE, do not
spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
•Spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure.It
can also damage the tires.Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while
in gear.

Systems
U.S. Metric
Brake Master Cylinder
MOPAR® DOT 3, SAE J1703 should be used.If
DOT 3, SAE J1703 brake fluid is not available, then
DOT 4 is acceptable.Use only recommended brake
fluids or equivalent.

MOPAR® R134a
Compressor Lubricant
MOPAR® POE Oil or Equivalent meeting the re-
quirements of Chrysler Material Standard MS-12727

Castrol BOT 533 0.8 Quarts 750 ml
Power Electronics Cooling System3.6 Quarts 3.5 Liters
MOPAR® Antifreeze/Engine Coolant 10 Year/
150,000 Mile Formula or equivalent
Battery Thermal Management Cooling System7.0 Quarts 6.7 Liters
MOPAR® Antifreeze/Engine Coolant 10 Year/
150,000 Mile Formula or equivalent
CAUTION!
•Mixing of coolant (antifreeze) other than specified Organic Additive Technology
(OAT) coolant (antifreeze), may result in cooling system damage and may decrease
corrosion protection.Organic Additive Technology (OAT) coolant is different and
should not be mixed with Hybrid Organic Additive Technology (HOAT) coolant
(antifreeze).If a non-OAT coolant (antifreeze) is introduced into the cooling sys-
tem in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant (antifreeze)
as soon as possible.
•Do not use water alone or alcohol-based coolant (antifreeze) products.Do not
use additional rust inhibitors or antirust products, as they may not be compatible
with the radiator coolant and may plug the radiator.
•This vehicle has not been designed for use with propylene glycol-based coolant
(antifreeze).Use of propylene glycol-based coolant (antifreeze) is not recom-
mended.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Once A Month Or Before A Trip:
•Check windshield washer fluid level
•Check the tire inflation pressures and look for unusual wear or damage
•Check the fluid levels of the coolant reservoirs and brake master cylinder
•Check function of all interior and exterior lights
Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the following page for the required maintenance
intervals.
At Every Service Interval:
•Rotate the tires.Rotate at the first sign of irregular wear.
The front and rear wheels are different sizes and cannot be used in place of each other,
refer to “Tire Rotation Recommendations” for further information.
•
Inspect brake pads, shoes, rotors, drums, and hoses.
•
Inspect battery cooling system protection and hoses.
•
Check and adjust hand brake.
