push the SET (-) button and release. Release
the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at
the selected speed.
NOTE:
The vehicle should be traveling at a steady
speed and on level ground before pushing
the SET (-) button.
To DeactivateA soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
CANCEL button, normal braking or pressing the
clutch pedal while slowing the vehicle will deac-
tivate Electronic Speed Control without erasing
the set speed memory. Pushing the ON/OFF
button or turning the ignition switch OFF erases
the set speed memory.
To Resume SpeedTo resume a previously set speed, push the

The drivers preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if
equipped. Refer to “Understanding Your Instru-
ment Panel” for more information. The speed
increment shown is dependant on the chosen
speed unit of U.S. (mph) or Metric (km/h):
U.S. Speed (mph)
•Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in
a 1 mph increase in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in an increase
of 1 mph.•If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to increase until the but-
ton is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
Metric Speed (km/h)
•Pushing the RES (+) button once will result in
a 1 km/h increase in set speed. Each subse-
quent tap of the button results in an increase
of 1 km/h.
•If the button is continually pushed, the set
speed will continue to increase until the but-
ton is released, then the new set speed will
be established.
To Decrease Speed
When the Electronic Speed Control is set, you
can decrease speed by pushing the SET (-)
button.
The drivers preferred units can be selected
through the instrument panel settings if

If your vehicle is equipped with the Camera
Delay feature and it is turned On, the rear
camera image will be displayed for up to 10
seconds when the vehicle is shifted out of
REVERSE unless the forward vehicle speed
exceeds 8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission isshifted into"PARK"or the vehicles ignition is
cycled to the OFF position.
Static grid lines will illustrate the width of the
vehicle. The static grid lines will show separate
zones that will help indicate the distance to the
rear of the vehicle. Different colored zonesindicate the distance to the rear of the vehicle.
The following table shows the approximate dis-
tances for each zone:
Zone Distance to the rear of the vehicle
Red 0-1ft(0-30cm)
Yellow 1 ft-3ft(30cm-1m)
Green 3 ft or greater (1 m or greater)

Closing Sunroof — Manual ModeTo close the sunroof, push and hold the switch
in the forward position. Any release of the
switch will stop the movement and the sunroof
will remain in a partially closed condition until
the sunroof switch is pushed again.

opening of the sunroof during Express Close
operation. If an obstruction in the path of the
sunroof is detected, the sunroof will automati-
cally retract. Remove the obstruction if this
occurs. Next, push the switch forward and re-
lease to Express Close.
Venting Sunroof — ExpressPush and release the Vent button within one

tion of pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type
sound in the ears. Your vehicle may exhibit wind
buffeting with the windows down, or the sunroof
(if equipped) in certain open or partially open
positions. This is a normal occurrence and can
be minimized. If the buffeting occurs with the
rear windows open, open the front and rear
windows together to minimize the buffeting. If
the buffeting occurs with the sunroof open,
adjust the sunroof opening to minimize the
buffeting or open any window.
Sunroof MaintenanceUse only a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft
cloth to clean the glass panel.

ELECTRICAL POWER
OUTLETS
There is a standard 12 Volt (13 Amp) power
outlet located in the Integrated Center Stack
(ICS) for added convenience. This power outlet
can power mobile phones, electronics and other
low power devices.
Power is available when the ignition switch is in
the ON or ACC position. Insert the cigar lighter
or accessory plug into the outlet for use.To
preserve the heating element, do not hold
the lighter in the heating position.NOTE:
To ensure proper operation a MOPAR knob
and element must be used.
CAUTION!
•Do not exceed the maximum power of 160
Watts (13 Amps) at 12 Volts. If the 160
Watt (13 Amp) power rating is exceeded
the fuse protecting the system will need to
be replaced.
•Power outlets are designed for accessory
plugs only. Do not insert any other object in
the power outlets as this will damage the
outlet and blow the fuse. Improper use of
the power outlet can cause damage not
covered by your New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
•Only devices designed for use in this type
of outlet should be inserted into any 12 Volt
outlet.
•Do not touch with wet hands.
•Close the lid when not in use and while
driving the vehicle.
•If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.

Rotate the center portion of the
lever past the first detent to acti-
vate the rear washer. The washer
pump and the wiper will continue to
operate as long as the switch is
held (for a maximum of 10 seconds). Upon
release, the wiper will continue to cycle two
times before returning to the set position.
If the rear wiper is operating when the ignition is
turned OFF, the wiper will automatically return
to the “park” position if power accessory delay is
active. Power accessory delay can be cancelled
by opening the door, if this happens the rear
wiper will stop at its current position and will not
go to “park”.
Rear Window Defroster
The rear window defroster button is
located on the climate controls mode
control knob. Push the button to turn
on the rear window defroster and the
heated outside mirrors (if equipped). An indica-

window defroster is on. The rear window de-
froster automatically turns off after approxi-mately 10 minutes. For an additional five min-
utes of operation, push the button a second
time.
NOTE:
To prevent excessive battery drain, use the
rear window defroster only when the engine
is operating.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
•Use care when washing the inside of the
rear window. Do not use abrasive window
cleaners on the interior surface of the
window. Use a soft cloth and a mild wash-
ing solution, wiping parallel to the heating
elements. Labels can be peeled off after
soaking with warm water.
•Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments, or
abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the window.
•Keep all objects a safe distance from the
window.
ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF
EQUIPPED
The crossbars and siderails are designed to
carry the cargo on vehicles equipped with a
luggage rack. The load must not exceed 150 lbs
(68 kg), and should be uniformly distributed
over the luggage rack crossbars.
NOTE:
If not equipped with crossbars, your autho-
rized dealer can order and install MOPAR
crossbars built specifically for this roof rack
system.
Distribute cargo weight evenly on the luggage
rack crossbars. The luggage rack does not
increase the total load carrying capacity of the
vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside
the vehicle plus that on the external rack does
not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
The crossbars must also be secured in one of
the seven detent positions marked with an
arrow on the siderails to prevent movement. To
move the crossbars, loosen the thumb screws
located at the upper edge of each crossbar
approximately eight turns, then move the cross-

will display in the odometer display area. Refer
to “Fuses” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for
further information on fuses and fuse locations.
CHAngE OIL
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The odometer display
will toggle betweenCHAngEandOilfor ap-
proximately 12 seconds, after a single chime
has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil
change interval. The engine oil change indicator
system is duty cycle-based, which means the
engine oil change interval may fluctuate depen-
dent upon your personal driving style.
