Looking At The Display
The vehicle width guide lines are
displayed on the screen as a reference
to show the width of the vehicle
compared to the width of the parking
space to be entered while in REVERSE.
Vehicle Width Guide Lines: these
guide lines serve as a reference
showing the width of the vehicle.
Distance Guide Lines: these lines
indicate the approximate distance from
the rear of the vehicle (the rear edge of
the bumper). The red and yellow lines
indicates the points at about 19 inches
(50 cm), for the red line and 39 inches
(1 m) for the yellow line, from the rear
bumper (central point of each line). Warning!Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the ParkView Rear Back
Up Camera. Always check carefully behind
your vehicle, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles,
obstructions, or blind spots before backing
up. You are responsible for the safety of
your surroundings and must continue to
pay attention while backing up. Failure to
do so can result in serious injury or death.
Rear View Camera
Operation
The operating modes of the rear view
camera when the vehicle is in
REVERSE vary depending on traffic,
road, and vehicle conditions. Also, the
amount of turning and the duration of
the maneuver vary depending on the
conditions. Therefore, it is important to
check the surrounding conditions and
adapt the steering as necessary.
Note: The images from the rear
parking camera shown on the monitor
are reversed (mirror image).
1. Place the gear selector in the
REVERSE position to switch the display
to rear view camera mode.
2. Check the surrounding conditions
and begin backing up. 3. Once the vehicle starts to enter the
parking space, proceed slowly in
REVERSE while keeping the vehicle
width guide lines away from the two
sides of the parking space.
4. Continue to adjust the steering
wheel until the vehicle width guide lines
are parallel with the two sides of the
parking space.07080913-111-111

5. Once the guide lines are parallel,
straighten the steering wheel and
reverse slowly into the parking space.
Continue to check the vehicle’s
surroundings and stop in the best
position possible (if the parking space
has dividing lines, check that the vehicle
width guide lines are parallel with them). 6. When the gear selector is moved
from the REVERSE position and put in
any other position, the screen returns to
the previous display mode.
Note:
Since there may be some
differences between the displayed
image and the real conditions, always
visually inspect the area behind the
vehicle, and the surrounding areas, to
make sure they are completely clear.
In the image of the parking space
(or garage) shown above, the rear of
the vehicle and the distance guide lines
may seem parallel on the monitor, but
may not be when the parked vehicle is
inspected.
When you enter a parking space
with a dividing line only on one side,
the dividing line and the vehicle width
guide lines may appear parallel on the
monitor, but may not be when the
parked vehicle is inspected.
Road Conditions And
Displayed Image
There are some differences between
what is shown on the display, and the
actual road conditions.
The different perceptions of distance
could lead to an accident. The
conditions that can lead to the different
perceptions of distance, listed below,
must be taken into consideration: When The Vehicle Slopes Due To
The Weight Of Passengers And
Load:
When the vehicle is rear heavy, the
object on the screen seems to be
further away than it really is.07080913990990

Warning!Do not adhere the speed restriction sticker
to the padded area on the steering wheel.
Adhering the speed restriction sticker to
the padded area on the steering wheel is
dangerous because the air bag may not
operate (deploy) normally resulting in
serious injury. In addition, do not adhere
the sticker to areas where warning lights or
the speedometer cannot be viewed.
14. Adhere the repaired tire sticker to
the wheel of the flat tire.
15. When the tire inflates to the
specified tire inflation pressure, turn the
air compressor switch off, turn the
sleeve of the injection hose to the left,
and pull it out of the tire valve. 16. Remove the air compressor hose
from the injection valve of the bottle.
Then, install the injection hose to the
injection valve of the bottle to prevent
leakage of any remaining sealant.
Note: The remaining sealant in the
hose may spray out when the hose is
removed. Remove the hose carefully
because you may not be able to
remove the sealant contacting clothing
or other objects.
17. Install the tire valve cap.
18. Place the Tire Service Kit back into
its storage location.
19. Start driving immediately to spread
the sealant in the tire.
Note: Carefully drive the vehicle at a
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) or less. If
the vehicle is driven at a speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) or more, the vehicle
may vibrate. Note: With TPMS System: if the tire
is not properly inflated, the
warning
light will illuminate.
After driving the vehicle for about
10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), connect
the air compressor to the tire using
Step nine of the procedure, and check
the tire inflation pressure using the tire
pressure gauge on the air compressor.
If the tire inflation pressure is lower than
the specified tire inflation pressure, turn
the air compressor on and wait until it
reaches the specified tire inflation
pressure.
The Tire Service Kit is completed
successfully if the tire inflation pressure
does not decrease. Carefully drive the
vehicle to the nearest authorized dealer
immediately and have the flat tire
replaced. Replacement with a new tire
is recommended. If the tire is to be
repaired or reused, consult an
authorized dealer.
Note:
If an emergency flat tire repair has
been performed using the Tire Service
Kit, FCA recommends that the tire be
replaced with a new one as soon as
possible. If the tire is to be repaired or
reused, contact an authorized dealer.

RECORDER (EDR) This vehicle is equipped with an Event
Data Recorder (EDR). The main
purpose of an EDR is to record data
that will assist in understanding how a
vehicle’s systems performed under
certain crash or near crash-like
situations, such as an air bag
deployment or hitting a road obstacle.
Please refer to “Occupant Restraint
Systems” in “Safety” for further
information on the Event Data Recorder

It is recommended you contact your
authorized tire dealer or original
equipment dealer with any questions
you may have on tire specifications or
capability. Failure to use equivalent
replacement tires may adversely affect
the safety, handling, and ride of your
vehicle.
Warning!Do not use a tire, wheel size, load rating,
or speed rating other than that specified for
your vehicle. Some combinations of
unapproved tires and wheels may change
suspension dimensions and performance
characteristics, resulting in changes to
steering, handling, and braking of your
vehicle. This can cause unpredictable
handling and stress to steering and
suspension components. You could lose
control and have a collision resulting in
serious injury or death. Use only the tire
and wheel sizes with load ratings approved
for your vehicle.
Never use a tire with a smaller load
index or capacity, other than what was
originally equipped on your vehicle. Using a
tire with a smaller load index could result in
tire overloading and failure. You could lose
control and have a collision.
Failure to equip your vehicle with tires
having adequate speed capability can
result in sudden tire failure and loss of
vehicle control. Caution!Replacing original tires with tires of a
different size may result in false
speedometer and odometer readings.
Tire Types
All Season Tires — If Equipped All Season tires provide traction for all
seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, and
Winter). Traction levels may vary
between different all season tires. All
season tires can be identified by the
M+S, M&S, M/S or MS designation on
the tire sidewall. Use all season tires
only in sets of four; failure to do so may
adversely affect the safety and handling
of your vehicle.
Summer Or Three Season Tires
— If Equipped Summer tires provide traction in both
wet and dry conditions, and are not
intended to be driven in snow or on ice.
If your vehicle is equipped with Summer
tires, be aware these tires are not
designed for Winter or cold driving
conditions. Install Winter tires on your
vehicle when ambient temperatures are
less than 40°F (5°C) or if roads are
covered with ice or snow. For more
information, contact an authorized
dealer. Summer tires do not contain the all
season designation or mountain/
snowflake symbol on the tire sidewall.
Use Summer tires only in sets of four;
failure to do so may adversely affect the
safety and handling of your vehicle.
Warning!Do not use Summer tires in snow/ice
conditions. You could lose vehicle control,
resulting in severe injury or death. Driving
too fast for conditions also creates the
possibility of loss of vehicle control.
Snow Tires Some areas of the country require the
use of snow tires during the Winter.
Snow tires can be identified by a
“mountain/snowflake” symbol on the
tire sidewall.
If you need snow tires,
select tires equivalent
in size and type to the
original equipment
tires. Use snow tires
onlyinsetsoffour;
failure to do so may adversely affect the
safety and handling of your vehicle.
Snow tires generally have lower speed
ratings than what was originally
equipped with your vehicle and should
not be operated at sustained speeds
over 75 mph (120 km/h). For speeds
above 75 mph (120 km/h) refer to
249
