TABLE OF CONTENTS

Seat Belt Pretensioner
• The front seat belt system is equipped with pretensioning devices that aredesigned to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
• In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and
others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear
your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
•
A seat belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop, you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt
snugly.
•A frayed or torn seat belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the seat belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not disassemble or
modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) —
AIR BAGS

Your vehicle may be equipped with the following air bag system components:
• Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC)
• Air Bag Warning Light
• Steering Wheel and Column
• Instrument Panel
• Knee Impact Bolsters
• Advanced Front Air Bags
• Supplemental Side Air Bags
• Supplemental Knee Air Bags
• Front and Side Impact Sensors

• Do not add a secondary seat cover or mat.
• At no time should any Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component or SRSrelated component or fastener be modified or replaced with any part except those
which are approved by FCA US LLC.
Supplemental Knee Air Bags
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Driver Knee Air Bag mounted in the
instrument panel below the steering column and a Supplemental Passenger Knee Air
Bag mounted in the instrument panel below the glove compartment. The Supple-
mental Knee Air Bags provide enhanced protection during a frontal impact by
working together with the seat belts, pretensioners, and Advanced Front Air Bags.
WARNING!
•Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The
air bags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the
air bags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have air
bags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during Advanced Front Air Bag deployment could cause serious injury, including death. Air bags
need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your arms to reach the
steering wheel or instrument panel.
• No objects should be placed over or near the air bag on the instrument panel
or steering wheel because any such objects could cause harm if the vehicle is
in a collision severe enough to cause the air bag to inflate.
Supplemental Side Air Bags
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Seat-Mounted Side Air Bags (SABs)
located in the outboard side of the front and rear (in vehicles equipped with
outboard rear seat SABs) seats. The SABs are marked with a SRS AIRBAG or
AIRBAG label sewn into the outboard side of the seats.
• This vehicle is equipped with Supplemental Side Air Bag Inflatable Curtains (SABICs) located above the side windows. The trim covering the SABICs is labeled
SRS AIRBAG or AIRBAG. The SABICs may help reduce the risk of partial or
complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in certain side
impact events.
• The SABICs and SABs (“Side Air Bags”) are designed to activate in certain side impacts and certain rollover events. The Occupant Restraint Controller (“ORC”)
determines whether the deployment of the Side Air Bags in a particular side
impact or rollover event is appropriate, based on the severity and type of collision.
Vehicle damage by itself is not a good indicator of whether or not Side Air Bags
should have deployed.

Front Ventilated Seats
If your vehicle is equipped with ventilated seats, the seat cushion and seat back will
have fans that draw the air from the passenger compartment and move air through
fine perforations in the seat cover to help keep the driver and front passenger cooler
in higher ambient temperatures. The fans operate at two speeds, HI and LO.
The front ventilated seats control buttons are located within the Uconnect system.
You can gain access to the control buttons through the climate screen or the controls
screen.
• Press the ventilated seat button
once to choose HI.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a second time to choose LO.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a third time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.
NOTE:

programed to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect
Settings” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel” in the Owner's Manual on the DVD.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL
If your vehicle is equipped with a heated steering wheel, it contains a heating
element that will keep your hands warm in cold weather. The heated steering wheel
has only one temperature setting. Once the heated steering wheel has been turned on
it can operate for up to 120 minutes before automatically shutting off. The heated
steering wheel can shut off early or may not turn on when the steering wheel is
already warm.
The heated steering wheel control button is located within the Uconnect system. You
can gain access to the control button through the climate screen or the controls
screen.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element ON.

WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used
for long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
TILT/TELESCOPING STEERING COLUMN
This feature allows you to tilt the steering column upward or downward. It also allows
you to lengthen or shorten the steering column. The tilt/telescoping lever is located
below the steering wheel at the end of the steering column.

ParkSense Active Park Assist
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system can be enabled and disabled with the ParkSense
Active Park Assist switch, located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
is intended to assist the driver during
parallel and perpendicular parking ma-
neuvers by identifying a proper parking
space, providing audible/visual instruc-
tions, and controlling the steering wheel.
The ParkSense Active Park Assist system
is defined as “semi-automatic” since the
driver maintains control of the accelerator,
shift lever and brakes. Depending on the
driver’s parking maneuver selection, the
ParkSense Active Park Assist system is
capable of maneuvering a vehicle into a
parallel or a perpendicular parking space
on either side (i.e., driver side or passen-
ger side).
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
• ParkSense is only a parking aid and it is unable to recognize every obstacle,including small obstacles. Parking curbs might be temporarily detected or not
detected at all. Obstacles located above or below the sensors will not be
detected when they are in close proximity.
• The vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkSense in order to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is detected. It is recommended that the driver
looks over his/her shoulder when using ParkSense.
WARNING!
• Drivers must be careful when backing up even when using ParkSense. Always
check carefully behind your vehicle, look behind you, and be sure to check for
pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, and blind spots before
backing up. You are responsible for safety and must continue to pay attention
to your surroundings. Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
• Before using ParkSense, it is strongly recommended that the ball mount and
hitch ball assembly is disconnected from the vehicle when the vehicle is not
used for towing. Failure to do so can result in injury or damage to vehicles or
obstacles because the hitch ball will be much closer to the obstacle than the
rear fascia when the loudspeaker sounds the continuous tone. Also, the sensors
could detect the ball mount and hitch ball assembly, depending on its size and
shape, giving a false indication that an obstacle is behind the vehicle.

LANESENSE
The LaneSense system can be enabled and disabled with the LaneSense button
located on the switch panel below the Uconnect display.
• Push the LaneSense button to turn the system ON (LED turns off).
The LaneSense system is operational at speeds above 37 mph (60 km/h) and below
112 mph (180 km/h). The LaneSense system uses a forward looking camera to
detect lane markings and measure vehicle position within the lane boundaries.
When both lane markings are detected and the driver unintentionally drifts out of the
lane (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a haptic warning in the
form of torque applied to the steering wheel to prompt the driver to remain within the
lane boundaries. If the driver continues to unintentionally drift out of the lane, the
LaneSense system provides a visual warning through the Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain
within the lane boundaries.
The driver may manually override the haptic warning by applying torque into the
steering wheel at any time.
When only a single lane marking is detected and the driver unintentionally drifts
across the lane marking (no turn signal applied), the LaneSense system provides a
visual warning through the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or Driver
Information Display (DID) to prompt the driver to remain within the lane. When only
a single lane marking is detected, a haptic (torque) warning will not be provided.
Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
NOTE:
When operating conditions have been met, the LaneSense system will monitor if the
driver’s hands are on the steering wheel and provides an audible warning to the driver
when the driver’s hands are not detected on the steering wheel. The system will
cancel if the driver does not return their hands to the wheel.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
Your vehicle may be equipped with the ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows
you to see an on-screen image of the rear surroundings of your vehicle whenever the
shift lever is put into REVERSE. The image will be displayed in the touchscreen
display along with a caution note to “check entire surroundings” across the top of the
screen. After five seconds this note will disappear. The ParkView camera is located on
the rear of the vehicle above the rear License plate.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
64

NOTE:
The ParkView Rear Back Up Camera has programmable modes of operation that may
be selected through the Uconnect System. Refer to “Uconnect Settings” in “Under-
standing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE (with camera delay turned OFF), the rear
camera mode is exited and the previous screen appears again. When the vehicle is
shifted out of REVERSE (with camera delay turned ON), the camera image will
continue to be displayed for up to 10 seconds after shifting out of REVERSE unless
the vehicle speed exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the vehicle is shifted into PARK or the
vehicles ignition is cycled to the OFF position.
When enabled, active guide lines are overlaid on the image to illustrate the width of
the vehicle and its projected backup path based on the steering wheel position. A
dashed center line overlay indicates the center of the vehicle to assist with parking or
aligning to a hitch/receiver.
When enabled, fixed guide lines are overlaid on the image to illustrate the width of
the vehicle.
Different colored zones indicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
CAUTION!
• To avoid vehicle damage, ParkView should only be used as a parking aid. TheParkView camera is unable to view every obstacle or object in your drive path.
•
To avoid vehicle damage, the vehicle must be driven slowly when using ParkView
to be able to stop in time when an obstacle is seen. It is recommended that the
driver look frequently over his/her shoulder when using ParkView.
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.
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the
lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.
