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.

Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) monitors
the amount of wheel spin of each of the
driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, the
TCS may apply brake pressure to the spin-
ning wheel(s) and/or reduce engine power to
provide enhanced acceleration and stability.
A feature of the TCS, Brake Limited Differen -
tial (BLD), functions similar to a limited slip
differential and controls the wheel spin
across a driven axle. If one wheel on a driven
axle is spinning faster than the other, the
system will apply the brake of the spinning
wheel. This will allow more engine torque to
be applied to the wheel that is not spinning.
BLD may remain enabled even if TCS and
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) are in a
reduced mode.
Trailer Sway Control (TSC)
Trailer Sway Control (TSC) uses sensors in
the vehicle to recognize an excessively
swaying trailer and will take the appropriate
actions to attempt to stop the sway. TSC will
become active automatically once an exces -
sively swaying trailer is recognized. NOTE:
TSC cannot stop all trailers from swaying.
Always use caution when towing a trailer and
follow the trailer tongue weight recommen
-
dations. Refer to “Trailer Towing” in
“Starting And Operating” for further informa -
tion.
When TSC is functioning, the “ESC Activa -
tion/Malfunction Indicator Light” will flash,
the engine power may be reduced and you
may feel the brakes being applied to indi -
vidual wheels to attempt to stop the trailer
from swaying. TSC is disabled when the ESC
system is in the “Partial Off” or “Full Off”
modes.
AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) — If
Equipped
The Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM) system
uses two radar-based sensors, located inside
the rear bumper fascia, to detect highway
licensable vehicles (automobiles, trucks,
motorcycles, etc.) that enter the blind spot
zones from the rear/front/side of the vehicle.
Rear Detection Zones
When the vehicle is started, the BSM
warning light will momentarily illuminate in
both outside rear view mirrors to let the
driver know that the system is operational.
WARNING!
If TSC activates while driving, slow the
vehicle down, stop at the nearest safe
location, and adjust the trailer load to
eliminate trailer sway.

STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and
fasten your seat belts.Start the engine with the gear selector in the
NEUTRAL or PARK position. Apply the brake
before shifting to any driving range.
Normal Starting — Gasoline Engine
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pushing the accelerator pedal.
Place your foot on the brake and place the
ignition to the START mode and release
when the engine starts. If the engine fails to
start within 10 seconds:
1. Place the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.NOTE:
Only press one pedal at a time while driving
the vehicle. Torque performance of the
vehicle could be reduced if both pedals are
pressed at the same time. If pressure is
detected on both pedals simultaneously, a
warning message will display in the instru
-
ment cluster. For further information, refer to
“Instrument Cluster Display” in “Getting To
Know Your Instrument Panel”.
Tip Start Feature
Place the ignition in the START mode and
release it as the starter engages. The starter
motor will automatically disengage itself
once the engine is running. If the engine fails
to start, the starter will disengage automati -
cally in 10 seconds. If this occurs:
1. Place the ignition in the OFF mode.
2. Wait 10 to 15 seconds.
3. Repeat the “Normal Starting” procedure.
WARNING!
When leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key fob from the ignition and lock
your vehicle. If equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go, always make sure the
keyless ignition node is in “OFF” mode,
remove the key fob from the vehicle and
lock the vehicle.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Allowing children to be in a vehicle unat -
tended is dangerous for a number of
reasons. A child or others could be seri -
ously or fatally injured. Children should
be warned not to touch the parking
brake, brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.

Normal Starting — Diesel Engine
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat,
both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten
your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to
30-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes
between such intervals will protect the
starter from overheating.NOTE:
Engine start up in very low ambient tempera-
ture could result in evident white smoke.
This condition will disappear as the engine
warms up.
Battery Blanket Usage
A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as
the battery temperature decreases to 0°F
(-18°C). For the same decrease in tempera -
ture, the engine requires twice as much
power to crank at the same RPM. The use of
battery blankets will greatly increase starting
capability at low temperatures. Suitable
battery blankets are available from your
authorized Mopar dealer.
Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless
Enter-N-Go
Observe the instrument panel telltales when
starting the engine.
NOTE:
Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or
pressing the accelerator pedal.
1. Always apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while pushing the ENGINE START/STOP
button once.
NOTE:
A delay of the start of up to five seconds is
possible under very cold conditions. The
“Wait to Start” telltale will be illuminated
WARNING!
Before exiting a vehicle, always come to
a complete stop, then shift the auto-
matic transmission into PARK and apply
the parking brake.
Always make sure the keyless ignition
node is in the OFF mode, key fob is
removed from the vehicle and vehicle is
locked.
Never leave children alone in a vehicle,
or with access to an unlocked vehicle.
Leaving children in a vehicle unattended
is dangerous for a number of reasons. A
child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be
warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the gear selector.
Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle, or in a location accessible to
children, and do not leave the ignition of
a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go in the ACC or ON/RUN
mode. A child could operate power
windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
Do not leave children or animals inside
parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior
heat build-up may cause serious injury or
death.
CAUTION!
The engine is allowed to crank as long as
30 seconds. If the engine fails to start
during this period, please wait at least two
minutes for the starter to cool before
repeating start procedure.
