PARKING BRAKE
Electric Park Brake (EPB)
Your vehicle is equipped with a new Electric
Park Brake System (EPB) that offers greater
convenience. The park brake switch is
located in the center console.Park Brake Switch
To apply the park brake manually, pull up on
the switch momentarily. The BRAKE telltale
light in the instrument cluster and an indi -
cator on the switch will illuminate. To release the park brake manually, the igni
-
tion must be in ON/RUN. Then put your foot
on the brake pedal and push the park brake
switch down momentarily. Once the park
brake is fully disengaged, the BRAKE telltale
light and the switch indicator will extinguish.
The park brake can also be automatically
released. With the engine running and the
transmission in gear, release the brake pedal
and depress the throttle pedal. For safety
reasons, your seat belt must also be
fastened.
NOTE:
You may hear a slight whirring sound from
the back of the vehicle while the parking
brake engages or disengages.
If your foot is on the brake pedal while you
are engaging or disengaging the parking
brake, you may notice a small amount of
brake pedal movement.
The Auto Park Brake feature can be used
to apply the park brake automatically
every time you park the vehicle. Auto Park
Brake can be enabled and disabled in the
Settings menu in Uconnect.
The parking brake can be engaged even
when the ignition is OFF, however, it can
only be disengaged when the ignition is in
the ON/RUN mode.
SafeHold is a feature that will automati -
cally apply the park brake under certain
conditions. The EPB monitors the status
of the driver’s seat belt, driver’s door and
pedal positions to determine if the driver
may have exited while the vehicle is still
capable of moving and will then automati -
cally apply the park brake to prevent the
vehicle from rolling.
The EPB fault light will illuminate if the
EPB switch is held for longer than 90
seconds in either the released or applied
position. The light will extinguish upon
releasing the switch.

SafeHold
SafeHold is a safety feature of the Electric
Park Brake System that will engage the park
brake automatically if the vehicle is left
unsecured while the ignition is in ON/RUN.
For automatic transmissions, the park brake
will automatically engage if all of the
following conditions are met:
The vehicle is at a standstill.
There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.
The seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver door is open.
For manual transmissions, the park brake
will automatically engage if all of the
following conditions are met:
The vehicle is at a standstill.
There is no attempt to depress the brake
pedal or accelerator pedal.
The clutch pedal is not pressed.
The seat belt is unbuckled.
The driver door is open.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION —
IF EQUIPPED NOTE:
During cold weather, you may experience
increased effort in shifting until the trans -
mission fluid warms up. This is normal.
Shifting
Fully press the clutch pedal before shifting
gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly
press the accelerator pedal.
You should always use FIRST gear when
starting from a standing position.
WARNING!
You or others could be injured if you leave
the vehicle unattended without having the
parking brake fully applied. The parking
brake should always be applied when the
driver is not in the vehicle, especially on
an incline.
CAUTION!
Never drive with your foot resting on the
clutch pedal, or attempt to hold the
vehicle on a hill with the clutch pedal
partially engaged, as this will cause
abnormal wear on the clutch.
Do not drive with your hand resting on
the gear selector as the force exerted,
even if slight, could lead over time to
premature wear of the gearbox internal
components.

ROCK — Off-road calibration is only avail -
able in 4WD LOW range. ROCK mode
provides the most aggressive 4WD perfor -
mance for extreme off road terrain. Use for
low speed obstacles such as large rocks,
deep ruts, etc.
NOTE:
ROCK mode is only available on the vehi -
cles equipped with the Off-Road package.
Activate the Hill Descent Control or Selec
Speed Control for steep downhill control.
Refer to “Electronic Brake Control System”
in “Safety” for further information.
STOP/START SYSTEM
The Stop/Start function was developed to
reduce fuel consumption. The system will
stop the engine automatically during a
vehicle stop if the required conditions are
met. Releasing the brake pedal or pressing
the accelerator pedal will automatically
restart the engine.
This vehicle has been upgraded with a heavy
duty battery, starter, as well as other engine
parts, to handle the additional engine starts.
Automatic Mode
The Stop/Start feature is enabled after every
normal customer engine start. At that time,
the system will go into STOP/START READY
and if all other conditions are met, can go
into a STOP/START AUTOSTOP ACTIVE
“Autostop” mode.
To Activate The Autostop Mode, The Following
Must Occur:
The system must be in STOP/START
READY state. A STOP/START READY
message will be displayed in the instru -
ment cluster display within the Stop/Start
section. Refer to “Warning Lights And
Messages” in “Getting To Know Your

Scheduled Servicing — Diesel Engine
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for engine oil
replacement.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate.
This means that service is required for your
vehicle. Operating conditions such as
frequent short-trips, trailer tow, extremely
hot or cold ambient temperatures will influ -
ence when the “Oil Change Required”
message is displayed. Severe Operating
Conditions can cause the change oil
message to illuminate as earlier than speci -
fied. Have your vehicle serviced as soon as
possible, within the next 500 miles
(805 km).
To help you have the best driving experience
possible, the manufacturer has identified the
specific vehicle maintenance service inter -
vals that are required to keep your vehicle
operating properly and safely. The manufacturer recommends that these
maintenance intervals be performed at your
selling dealer. The technicians at your deal
-
ership know your vehicle best, and have
access to factory trained information,
genuine Mopar parts, and specially designed
electronic and mechanical tools that can
help prevent future costly repairs.
NOTE:
The actual interval for changing engine oil
and replacing the engine oil filter depends
on the vehicle usage conditions, and is
signaled by the warning light or message in
the instrument panel. In any case, it must
never exceed 12,500 miles (20,000 km) or
12 months.
Flush and replace the engine coolant at
120 months or 150,000 miles (240,000 km)
whichever comes first.
The timing and accessory belts must be
changed every 37,500 miles (60,000 km) or
3 years for particularly demanding use
(dusty areas, severe weather conditions,
very low or very high temperatures for
extended periods, city driving, long periods
of idling). Under no circumstances should
