PREMIUM VEHICLE SECURITY
ALARM — IF EQUIPPED
The Premium Vehicle Security Alarm system
monitors the doors, hood latch, liftgate flipper
glass, and liftgate for unauthorized entry and
the ignition switch for unauthorized operation.
The system also includes a dual function intru-
sion sensor and vehicle tilt sensor. The intrusion
sensor monitors the vehicle interior for motion.
The vehicle tilt sensor monitors the vehicle for
any tilting actions (tow away, tire removal, ferry
transport, etc). A siren with battery backup
which senses interruptions of power and com-
munications is also included.
If a perimeter violation triggers the security
system, the siren will sound for 30 seconds and
the exterior lights will flash followed by approxi-
mately five seconds of no activity. This will
continue for eight cycles if no action is taken to
disarm the system.

NOTE:
•The driver’s door key cylinder and the
liftgate button on the RKE transmitter
cannot arm or disarm the Vehicle Security
Alarm.
• The Vehicle Security Alarm remains
armed during power liftgate entry. Press-
ing the liftgate button will not disarm the
Vehicle Security Alarm. If someone enters
the vehicle through the liftgate and opens
any door the alarm will sound.
•
When the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed,
the interior power door lock switches will
not unlock the doors.
• The ultrasonic intrusion sensor (motion
detector) actively monitors your vehicle
every time you arm the security system. If
you prefer, you can turn off the ultrasonic
intrusion sensor when arming the secu-
rity system. To do so, press the LOCK
button on the RKE transmitter three times
within 15 seconds of arming the system
(while the Vehicle Security Light is flash-
ing rapidly). The Vehicle Security Alarm is designed to pro-
tect your vehicle; however, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the Vehicle
Security Alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in the
vehicle and open a door, the alarm will sound. If
this occurs, disarm the Vehicle Security Alarm.
If the Vehicle Security Alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the Vehicle Se-
curity Alarm will remain armed when the battery
is reconnected; the exterior lights will flash, the
horn will sound. If this occurs, disarm the Ve-
hicle Security Alarm.Security System Manual OverrideThe system will not arm if you lock the doors
using the manual door lock plunger.
ILLUMINATED ENTRY
The courtesy lights will turn on when you use
the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter to
unlock the doors or open any door.
This feature also turns on the approach lighting
in the outside mirrors (if equipped). Refer to
“Mirrors” in “Understanding The Features Of
Your Vehicle” for further information.
The lights will fade to off after approximately
30 seconds or they will immediately fade to off
once the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN
from the OFF position.
NOTE:
•
The front courtesy overhead console and
door courtesy lights do not turn on if the
dimmer control is in the Dome ONposi-
tion (extreme top position).
•
The Illuminated Entry system will not oper-
ate if the dimmer control is in the “Dome
defeat” position (extreme bottom position).

A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to
inflate the side curtain air bag. The inflating side
curtain air bag pushes the outside edge of the
headliner out of the way and covers the window.
The air bag inflates in about 30 milliseconds
(about one-quarter of the time that it takes to
blink your eyes) with enough force to injure you
if you are not belted and seated properly, or if
items are positioned in the area where the side
curtain air bag inflates. This especially applies
to children. The side curtain air bag is only
about 3-1/2 in (9 cm) thick when it is inflated.
Because air bag sensors estimate deceleration
over time, vehicle speed and damage are not
good indicators of whether or not an air bag
should have deployed.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners, and/or SAB
and SABIC air bags may deploy on both
sides of the vehicle.
Front And Side Impact Sensors
In front and side impacts, impact sensors can
aid the ORC in determining appropriate re-
sponse to impact events.Enhanced Accident Response System
In the event of an impact causing air bag
deployment, if the communication network re-
mains intact, and the power remains intact,
depending on the nature of the event the ORC
will determine whether to have the Enhanced
Accident Response System perform the follow-
ing functions:
•
Cut off fuel to the engine.
• Flash hazard lights as long as the battery has
power or until the ignition key is turned off.
• Turn on the interior lights, which remain on as
long as the battery has power or until the
ignition key is removed.
• Unlock the doors automatically.
In order to reset the Enhanced Accident Re-
sponse System functions after an event, the
ignition switch must be changed from IGN ON to
IGN OFF. If A Deployment Occurs
The Advanced Front Air Bags are designed to
deflate immediately after deployment.
NOTE:
In a rollover the pretensioners and/or SAB
and SABIC - if equipped air bags may deploy
on both sides of the vehicle.
If you do have a collision which deploys the air
bags, any or all of the following may occur:
•
The nylon air bag material may sometimes
cause abrasions and/or skin reddening to the
driver and front passenger as the air bags
deploy and unfold. The abrasions are similar
to friction rope burns or those you might get
sliding along a carpet or gymnasium floor.
They are not caused by contact with chemi-
cals. They are not permanent and normally
heal quickly. However, if you haven’t healed
significantly within a few days, or if you have
any blistering, see your doctor immediately.

Automatic Headlight Leveling — HID
Headlights Only
This feature prevents the headlights from inter-
fering with the vision of oncoming drivers.
Headlight leveling automatically adjusts the
height of the headlight beam in reaction to
changes in vehicle pitch.
Headlight DelayTo aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with
a headlight delay that will leave the headlights
on for approximately 90 seconds. This delay is
initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while
the headlight switch is on, and then the head-
light switch is cycled off. Headlight delay can be
cancelled by either turning the headlight switch
on then off, or by turning the ignition ON.
The headlight delay time is programmable on
vehicles equipped with an Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC). Refer to “Electronic
Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/Customer-
Programmable Features” in “Understanding
Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
Parking Lights And Panel Lights
To turn on the parking lights and instru-
ment panel lights, rotate the headlight
switch clockwise. To turn off the park-
ing lights, rotate the headlight switch back to the
O (Off) position.
Front And Rear Fog Lights — If
Equipped
The front and rear fog lights may be operated as
desired when visibility is poor due to fog. The
fog lights will activate in the following order:
Press the headlight switch once and the front
fog lights come on. Press the switch a second
time and the rear fog lights will come on (front
fog lights stay on). Press the switch a third time
and the rear fog lights turn off (front fog stays
on). Press the switch a fourth times and the
front fog turns off. For vehicles without front fog,
rear fog will activate on the first press.
NOTE:
The headlight switch must first be turned to
the position lights or headlights position
before the fog lamp switch can be pushed in.
Interior LightsCourtesy and dome lights are turned on when the
front doors are opened, when the dimmer control
(rotating wheel on the right side of the headlight
switch) is rotated to the its farthest upward posi-
tion, or if equipped, when the UNLOCK button is
pressed on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. When a door is open and the interior
lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the
way down, to the OFF detent, will cause all the
interior lights to go out. This is also known as the
“Party” mode because it allows the doors to stay
open for extended periods of time without dis-
charging the vehicle’s battery.
Fog Light Operation
109

The brightness of the instrument panel lighting
can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control
up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the head-
lights are on you can supplement the brightness
of the odometer, trip odometer, radio and over-
head console by rotating the control to its farthest
position up until you hear a click. This feature is
termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when
headlights are required during the day.Lights-On ReminderIf the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights
are left on after the ignition is turned OFF, a
chime will sound when the driver’s door is
opened.
Battery SaverTo protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load
shedding is provided for both the interior and
exterior lights.
If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for
10 minutes or the dimmer control is rotated all the
way up to the dome ON position for 10 minutes,
the interior lights will automatically turn off.
If the headlights remain on while the ignition is
cycled OFF, the exterior lights will automatically
turn off after eight minutes. If the headlights are
turned on and left on for eight minutes while the
ignition is OFF, the exterior lights will automati-
cally turn off.
NOTE:
Battery saver mode is cancelled if the igni-
tion is ON.

CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a
bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do not use
oven cleaner. These products may damage
the wheel’s protective finish. Avoid automatic
car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel’s pro-
tective finish. Only MOPAR® Wheel Cleaner
or equivalent is recommended.
Stain Repel Fabric Cleaning Procedure – If
Equipped
Stain Repel seats may be cleaned in the follow-
ing manner:
• Remove as much of the stain as possible by
blotting with a clean, dry towel.
• Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp
towel.
• For tough stains, apply MOPAR® Total
Clean, or a mild soap solution to a clean,
damp cloth and remove stain. Use a fresh,
damp towel to remove soap residue. •
For grease stains, apply MOPAR® Multi-
Purpose Cleaner to a clean, damp cloth and
remove stain. Use a fresh, damp towel to
remove soap residue.
•
Do not use any harsh solvents or any other
form of protectants on Stain Repel products.
Interior Care
Use MOPAR® Total Clean to clean fabric uphol-
stery and carpeting.
Use MOPAR® Total Clean to clean vinyl uphol-
stery.
MOPAR® Total Clean is specifically recom-
mended for leather upholstery.
Your leather upholstery can be best preserved by
regular cleaning with a damp soft cloth. Small
particles of dirt can act as an abrasive and
damage the leather upholstery and should be
removed promptly with a damp cloth. Stubborn
soils can be removed easily with a soft cloth and
MOPAR® Total Clean. Care should be taken to
avoid soaking your leather upholstery with any
liquid. Please do not use polishes, oils, cleaning
fluids, solvents, detergents, or ammonia-based
cleaners to clean your leather upholstery. Appli- cation of a leather conditioner is not required to
maintain the original condition.
WARNING!
Do not use volatile solvents for cleaning
purposes. Many are potentially flammable,
and if used in closed areas they may cause
respiratory harm.
Cleaning Headlights
Your vehicle has plastic headlights that are
lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage
than glass headlights.
Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and
therefore different lens cleaning procedures
must be followed.
To minimize the possibility of scratching the
lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping
with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with
a mild soap solution followed by rinsing.
Do not use abrasive cleaning components, sol-
vents, steel wool or other aggressive material to
clean the lenses.
