where the vehicle’s engine is left running with
the key fob inside.
Replacing The Battery In The Key Fob
The recommended replacement battery is
CR2450.
NOTE:
Customers are recommended to use a battery
obtained from Mopar®. Aftermarket coin
battery dimensions may not meet the original
OEM coin battery dimensions.
Perchlorate material — special handling may
apply. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/
perchlorate for further information.

Headlight Switch (Vehicles Sold In Canada)

NOTE:Vehicles sold in Canada are equipped with a head -
light switch with an AUTO and ON detent but
without an OFF detent. Headlights will be deacti -
vated when the headlight switch is placed in the
parking lights position. However, the Daytime
Running Lights (DRLs) will be activated along with
the front and rear marker lights. The DRLs may be
deactivated when the parking brake is engaged.
Rotate the headlight switch clockwise to the first
detent for parking lights and instrument panel light
operation. Rotate the headlight switch to the second detent for headlights, parking lights, and
instrument panel light operation.
NOTE:For vehicles sold in Canada, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise from the parking lights and
instrument panel light position to the first detent to
turn on headlights, parking lights, and instrument
panel light. Rotate the headlight switch to the
second detent for the AUTO position.
DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRLS) —
I
F EQUIPPED
The Daytime Running Lights (DRLs) are in a
dedicated position below the headlight assembly.
DRLs are active when the low beams are not on
while the vehicle’s transmission is in any position
(automatic transmission), or when the vehicle
begins to move (manual transmission).
NOTE:
For vehicles sold in Canada, the DRLs will auto -
matically deactivate when the front fog lights
are turned on.
On some vehicles, the Daytime Running Lights
may deactivate, or reduce intensity, on one side
of the vehicle (when a turn signal is activated on
that side), or on both sides of the vehicle (when
the hazard warning lights are activated).
HIGH/LOW BEAM SWITCH
The High/Low Beam switch is located within the
multifunction lever on the left side of the steering
wheel. High beam headlights can be used for
improved visibility in low lit areas when there is no
oncoming traffic. Otherwise, it is recommended to
use the low beam headlights to reduce glare to
other vehicles.
With the headlight switch activated, push the
multifunction lever toward the instrument panel to
switch the headlights to high beams. The lever will
return to the centered position. To return the
headlights to low beam, pull the lever toward the
steering wheel, or push the lever toward the
instrument panel.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP
C
ONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
system provides increased forward lighting at night
by automatically controlling the high beams
through the use of a camera mounted on the
vehicle’s header. This camera detects vehicle
specific light and automatically switches from high
beams to low beams until the approaching vehicle
is out of view.
NOTE:
The Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control
can be turned on or off by selecting “ON” under
“Auto Dim High Beams” within your Uconnect
Settings Ú page 215, as well as turning the
headlight switch to the AUTO position and
placing the multifunction lever in the high beam
position.
Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and
taillights of vehicles in the field of view will
cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to
the vehicle). Also, dirt, film, and other obstruc -
tions on the windshield or camera lens will
cause the system to function improperly.
FLASH-TO-PASS
The Flash-To-Pass feature will illuminate the high
beam headlights temporarily to signal another
vehicle of a passing occurrence. Pull and hold the
Multifunction Lever to activate the Flash-To-Pass
feature. When the lever is released, the
Flash-To-Pass feature will deactivate.
AUTOMATIC HEADLIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED

The Automatic Headlight System will turn the
headlights on or off according to ambient light
levels. To turn the system on, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise to the last detent for automatic
headlight operation. When the system is on, the
headlight time delay feature is also on. This means
the headlights will stay on for up to 90 seconds
(programmable through the Uconnect Settings

Ú
page 215) after you place the ignition into the
OFF position. To turn the automatic system off,
move the headlight switch out of the AUTO position.

NOTE:The engine must be running before the headlights
will come on in the automatic mode.
LIGHTS-ON REMINDER

If the headlights or parking lights are left on after
the ignition is placed in the OFF position, the vehicle
will chime when the driver’s door is opened.

FRONT FOG LIGHTS — IF EQUIPPED
The Front Fog Lights are located on the front of the
vehicle below the headlights. When activated,
these lights add illumination directed at the driving
surface to aid in poor visibility conditions.
To activate the Front Fog Lights, turn on the
parking lights or low beam headlights and push the
fog light switch. Pushing the fog light switch a
second time will turn the front fog lights off.

Blower Control
Blower Control regulates the amount of
air forced through the Climate Control
system. There are seven blower speeds
available. Adjusting the blower will cause
automatic mode to switch to manual operation.
The speeds can be selected using either the
blower control knob on the faceplate or the
buttons on the touchscreen.
Faceplate
The blower speed increases as you turn the blower
control knob clockwise from the lowest blower
setting. The blower speed decreases as you turn
the blower control knob counterclockwise.
Touchscreen
Use the small blower icon to reduce the blower
setting and the large blower icon to increase the
blower setting. Blower can also be selected by
pressing the blower bar area between the icons.
Mode Control
Turn the mode control knob or press one
of the Mode buttons on the touchscreen
to adjust airflow distribution. The airflow
distribution mode can be adjusted so air
comes from the instrument panel outlets, floor
outlets, defrost outlets and demist outlets.
Panel Mode
Air comes from the outlets in the
instrument panel. Each of these outlets
can be individually adjusted to direct the
flow of air. The air vanes of the center
outlets and outboard outlets can be moved up and
down or side to side to regulate airflow direction.
There is a shut-off wheel located below the air
vanes to shut off or adjust the amount of airflow
from these outlets.
Bi-Level Mode
Air comes from the instrument panel
outlets and floor outlets. A slight amount
of air is directed through the defrost and
side window demister outlets.
NOTE:Bi-Level mode is designed under comfort condi -
tions to provide cooler air out of the panel outlets
and warmer air from the floor outlets.
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight
amount of air is directed through the
defrost and side window demister
outlets.
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost,
and side window demister outlets. This
setting works best in cold or snowy
conditions that require extra heat to the
windshield. This setting is good for maintaining
comfort while reducing moisture on the
windshield.

There are two adjustable utility rail cleats on each
side of the bed that can be used to assist in
securing cargo.

Adjustable Cleat Assembly

Each utility rail cleat must be tightened down in
one of the detents along either utility rail in order to
keep cargo properly secured.
To move the utility rail cleat to any position on the
utility rail, turn the cleat retainer nut counter-
clockwise several times. Then, pull out on the
utility rail cleat and slide it to the detent nearest
the desired location. Make sure the utility rail cleat
is seated in the detent, and tighten the nut. To remove the utility rail cleats from the side utility
rails, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located at the end of the rail toward the front of the
vehicle.
To remove the utility rail cleat from the front utility
rail, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located on the left side of the rail.
