CAUTION!
To prevent possible damage, do not slam the hood to
close it. Lower the hood until it is open approxi-
mately 6 inches (15 cm), and then drop it. This should
secure both latches. Never drive your vehicle unless
the hood is fully closed, with both latches engaged.
WARNING!
Be sure the hood is fully latched before driving your
vehicle. If the hood is not fully latched, it could open
when the vehicle is in motion and block your vision.
Failure to follow this warning could result in serious
injury or death.

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
lighter inward to heat.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES
The EVIC display consists of three sections:
1. The reconfigurable top line where compass, direction,and outside temperature are displayed.
• Right side default to Ignition Status for those with
push button ignition.
2. The main display area where the menus and pop up messages are displayed.
3. The reconfigurable telltales section.
The main display area will normally display the main
menu or the screens of a selected feature of the main
menu. The main display area also displays pop up
messages that consist of approximately 60 possible warn-
ing or information messages. These pop up messages fall
into several categories:
• Five Second Stored Messages
When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for five seconds and then returns to the previous screen. Most of
the messages of this type are then stored (as long as the
condition that activated it remains active) and can be
reviewed from the
Messagesmain menu item. As long
as there is a stored message, an iwill be displayed in the
compass/outside temp line. Examples of this message
type are Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out andLow
Tire Pressure.
• Unstored Messages
This message type is displayed indefinitely or until the
condition that activated the message is cleared. Examples
of this message type are Turn Signal On(if a turn signal
is left on) and Lights On(if driver leaves the vehicle).
• Unstored Messages Until RUN
These messages deal primarily with the Remote Start
feature. This message type is displayed until the ignition
is in the MAR/RUN state. Examples of this message type
are Remote Start Aborted - Door Ajar andPress Brake
Pedal and Push Button to Start.

Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) Failure•What Does It Mean
The simultaneous firing of BRAKE lights
(Red) and
(Amber) with the engine
running indicates a failure of the Elec-
tronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
system or that the system is not available.
In this case, with heavy braking, the rear
wheels may lock early and increase the
possibility of skidding.
The dedicated message will appear on the
display.
• What To Do
Drive with extreme caution, immediately
reach the nearest authorized dealer for the verifica-
tion of the system. Air Bag
•What Does It Mean
By placing the ignition switch in MAR/
RUN, the indicator light illuminates but
should go out after a few seconds. If the
indicator illuminates, this indicates a fail-
ure of the air bag system.
The dedicated message shows in the display.
For more details, refer to Occupant Restraint Sys-
tems inSafety for more information.
