operated by rotating a switch, located on the end of
the lever. For information on the rear wiper/
washer, see Ú page 49.
WINDSHIELD WIPER OPERATION
Rotate the end of the lever to one of the first two
detent positions for intermittent settings. The first
intermittent wiper interval is 10 seconds. The
second intermittent wipe interval is based on
vehicle speed. Rotate to the third detent for low
wiper operation and the fourth detent for high
wiper operation.
Windshield Wiper Operation

Windshield Washer Operation
To use the washer, pull the lever toward you and
hold while spray is desired. If the lever is pulled
while in the intermittent setting, the wipers will turn
on and operate for several wipe cycles after the
lever is released, and then resume the intermittent
interval previously selected.
If the lever is pulled while the wipers are in the off
position, the wipers will operate for several wipe
cycles, then turn off.
NOTE:As a protective measure, the pump will stop if the
switch is held for more than 20 to 30 seconds.
Once the lever is released the pump will resume
normal operation.1 — Push Lever Forward & Hold For Rear Washer

the windshield. The wash function must be used in
order to spray the windshield with washer fluid.
For information on wiper care and replacement,
see Ú page 275.
RAIN SENSING WIPERS — IF EQUIPPED
This feature senses rain or snow fall on the
windshield and automatically activates the wipers.
Rotate the end of the multifunction lever to one of
two detent positions to activate this feature.
The sensitivity of the system can be adjusted with
the multifunction lever. Wiper delay position one is
the least sensitive, and wiper delay position two is
the most sensitive. Place the wiper switch in the
O (off) position when not using the system.
NOTE:
The Rain Sensing feature will not operate when
the wiper switch is in the low or high-speed posi -
tion.
The Rain Sensing feature may not function prop -
erly when ice, or dried salt water is present on
the windshield.
Use of Rain-X or products containing wax or sili-
cone may reduce Rain Sensing performance.
The Rain Sensing feature can be turned on and
off through Uconnect Settings Ú page 165.
The Rain Sensing system has protection features
for the wiper blades and arms, and will not operate
under the following conditions:
Change In Ignition Position — If the vehicle is in
Rain Sensing mode and the ignition is cycled
from OFF to ON, the auto wiper will be
suppressed until vehicle speed is greater than
3 mph (5 km/h), or the wiper switch is moved
out of and back into the Intermittent wipe posi -
tion.
Transmission In NEUTRAL Position — The Rain
Sensing system will not operate if the NEUTRAL
gear is selected at speeds of 3 mph (5 km/h) or
less unless the wiper switch is moved or the
gear selector is moved out of NEUTRAL.
Remote Start Mode Inhibit — On vehicles
equipped with the Remote Start system, Rain
Sensing wipers are not operational when the
vehicle is in Remote Start mode. Once the oper -
ator is in the vehicle and has placed the ignition
switch in the ON/RUN position, Rain Sensing
wiper operation can resume, if it has been
selected, and no other inhibit conditions
(mentioned previously) exist.
REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper/washer lever on the right side of
the steering column. The rear wiper/washer is
operated by rotating a switch, located at the
middle of the lever.
The rear wiper/washer controls are located on the
windshield wiper/washer lever on the right side of
the steering column. The rear wiper has different
operation modes:
Intermittent mode
Synchronous mode (at half speed of the front
window wiper) when the front window wiper is
operating
Continuous mode
Vehicle in REVERSE: If the front wiper is active
and the REVERSE gear is selected, the wiper will
turn on for one wipe
Rotate the center portion of the lever
upward to the first detent for intermittent
operation and to the second detent for
continuous rear wiper operation.
To use the washer, push the lever
forward and hold while spray is desired.

SAFETY193
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
HSA is designed to mitigate roll back from a
complete stop while on an incline. If the driver
releases the brake while stopped on an incline,
HSA will continue to hold the brake pressure for a
short period. If the driver does not apply the
throttle before this time expires, the system will
release brake pressure and the vehicle will roll
down the hill as normal.
The following conditions must be met in order for
HSA to activate:
The feature must be enabled.
The vehicle must be stopped.
The parking brake must be off.
The driver’s door must be closed.
The vehicle must be on a sufficient grade.
The gear selection must match vehicle uphill
direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward
gear; vehicle backing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
HSA will work in REVERSE gear and all forward
gears. The system will not activate if the trans -
mission is in PARK or NEUTRAL.
Disabling And Enabling HSA
This feature can be turned on or turned off. To
change the current setting, proceed as follows:
If disabling HSA using Uconnect settings see
Ú page 77.
Towing With HSA
Hill Start Assist (HSA) will also provide assistance
to mitigate roll back while towing a trailer.
Rain Brake Support (RBS)
RBS may improve braking performance in wet
conditions. It will periodically apply a small amount
of brake pressure to remove any water buildup on
the front brake rotors. It functions when the
windshield wipers are in LO or HI speed. When Rain
Brake Support is active, there is no notification to
the driver and no driver interaction is required.
WARNING!
There may be situations where the Hill Start
Assist (HSA) will not activate and slight rolling
may occur, such as on minor hills or with a
loaded vehicle, or while pulling a trailer. HSA is
not a substitute for active driving involvement.
It is always the driver’s responsibility to be
attentive to distance to other vehicles, people,
and objects, and most importantly brake
operation to ensure safe operation of the vehicle
under all road conditions. Your complete
attention is always required while driving to
maintain safe control of your vehicle. Failure to
follow these warnings can result in a collision or
serious personal injury.
WARNING!
If you use a trailer brake controller with your
trailer, the trailer brakes may be activated and
deactivated with the brake switch. If so, there
may not be enough brake pressure to hold
both the vehicle and the trailer on a hill when
the brake pedal is released. In order to avoid
rolling down an incline while resuming accel -
eration, manually activate the trailer brake or
apply more vehicle brake pressure prior to
releasing the brake pedal.
HSA is not a parking brake. Always apply the
parking brake fully when exiting your vehicle.
Also, be certain to place the transmission
in PARK.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in a
collision or serious personal injury.

264IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE
This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to
prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars
and other equipment designed for this purpose,
following equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar
or other towing devices to main structural
members of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumper or
associated brackets. State and local laws
regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
NOTE:
You must ensure that the Auto Park Brake
feature is disabled before towing this vehicle to
avoid inadvertent Electric Park Brake engage -
ment. The Auto Park Brake feature is enabled or
disabled via the customer programmable
features in the Uconnect Settings.
Vehicles with a discharged battery, or total elec -
trical failure when the Electric Park Brake (EPB)
is engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to
raise the rear wheels off the ground when
moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers,
defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition
must be in the ON/RUN mode.
Note that the Safehold feature will engage the
Electric Park Brake whenever the driver's door is
opened (if the battery is connected, ignition is ON,
transmission is not in PARK, and brake pedal is
released). If you are towing this vehicle with the
ignition in the ON/RUN mode, you must manually
disable the Electric Park Brake each time the
driver's door is opened by pressing the brake pedal
and then releasing the EPB. If the vehicle’s battery is discharged, instructions
on shifting the automatic transmission out of PARK
so that the vehicle can be moved Ú

BODY LUBRICATION
Locks and all body pivot points, including such
items as seat tracks, door hinge pivot points and
rollers, liftgate, tailgate, decklid, sliding doors and
hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically with
a lithium-based grease, such as Mopar® Spray
White Lube to ensure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the
application of any lubricant, the parts concerned
should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit;
after lubricating, excess oil and grease should be
removed. Particular attention should also be given
to hood latching components to ensure proper
function. When performing other underhood
services, the hood latch, release mechanism and
safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated
twice a year, preferably in the Autumn and Spring.
Apply a small amount of a high quality lubricant,
such as Mopar® Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly
into the lock cylinder.
WIPER BLADES
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the
windshield and rear window periodically with a
sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive
cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt,
waxes, or road film, and help reduce streaking and
smearing.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long
periods may cause deterioration of the wiper
blades. Always use washer fluid when using the
wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry windshield
or rear window.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice
from the windshield or rear window. Make sure
that they are not frozen to the glass before turning
them on to avoid damaging the blade. Keep the
wiper blade out of contact with petroleum products
such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending
on geographical area and frequency of use. If chat -
tering, marks, water lines or wet spots are present,
clean the wiper blades or replace as necessary.8
