birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust,
do not idle the engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear
gloves or wash your hands frequently when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to

accident and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their
attention off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the
driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done
while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver ’s responsibility to comply with
all local laws.
This Owner ’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Wagoneer vehicle and to provide a convenient reference source for
common questions.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a rideshare, a friend or use public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

provide an output signal to the OCS that is
different than the occupant’s properly seated
weight input, which may result in serious injury
or death in a collision.

Placing an object on the floor under the front
passenger seat may prevent the OCS from
working properly, which may result in serious

sion. A modified vehicle may not comply with
required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan -
dards (FMVSSyfDQGRU&DQDGLDQ0RWRU
