window switches will remain active for up to three
minutes after the ignition is cycled to the STOP/OFF
position. Opening either front door will cancel this
feature. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for
further information.WARNING!
Never leave children unattended in a vehicle, and do
not let children play with power windows. Do not

ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless Enter-
N-Go in the MAR/RUN mode. Occupants, particu-
larly unattended children, can become entrapped by
the windows while operating the power window
switches. Such entrapment may result in serious
injury or death.

Engine Compartment Fuses/Distribution Unit fuse from
location F84 to F23. Models equipped with the optional
smoker kit,will
have a cigar lighter instead of the power outlet.
CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180
Watts (15 Amps) to the socket. Do not damage the
socket by using unsuitable adaptors. If the 180 Watt
(15 Amp) power rating is exceeded the fuse protect-
ing the system will need to be replaced.

WARNING!(Continued)
•Close the lid when not in use and while driving the
vehicle.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric
shock and failure.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle’s battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or
prevent the engine from starting.
(Continued)
CAUTION! (Continued)
•Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle’s battery.
Cigar Lighter — Optional
NOTE: Cigar lighters can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through MOPAR parts. To ensure proper cigar
lighter operation, a MOPAR knob and element must be
used.
The cigar lighter is located on the center console. Push

CAUTION!
Do not connect devices with power higher than 180

ing the system will need to be replaced.
