PICKUP BOX
• You can carry wide building materials (sheets of plywood, etc.) by building a raisedload floor. Place lumber across the box in the indentations provided above the
wheel housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.
• There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box from
side to side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box.
• There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
Cargo Camera
•Your vehicle may be equipped with the Cargo Camera that allows you to see a image
of the inside of the pickup box. The image will be displayed in the Uconnect®screen.
• A display timer is initiated when the cargo camera image is displayed. The image will continue to be displayed until the display timer exceeds 10 seconds and the
vehicle speed is above 8 mph (13 km/h) or the image is deactivated by touching
the Uconnect
®display.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph (13 km/h), the cargo camera image will be
displayed continuously until deactivated by touching the Uconnect
®display.
• The Cargo Camera is located in the bottom center area of the center high-mounted stoplamp (CHMSL).
NOTE:
If snow, ice, mud, or any foreign substance builds up on the camera lens, clean the
lens, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth. Do not cover the lens.

The Cargo Camera image may be deactivated by touching the Uconnect®display. The

WARNING!
• The pickup box is intended for load carrying purposes only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained
cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads
may cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result in vehicle damage.
If wide building materials are to be frequently carried, the installation of a
support is recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to
the pickup box floor.
•
If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of material suspended above the
wheelhouse, supports must be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the
pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use of proper supports will
permit loading up to the rated payload.
• Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an accident causing serious or
fatal injury.

IMPORTANT
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important featur\
es
of your vehicle. The DVD enclosed contains your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/

® Manuals, Warranty Booklets, Tire Warranty and Roadside
Assistance (new vehicles purchased in the U.S.) or Roadside Assistance\

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collisi\
on and personal
injury. Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme cau\
tion
when using any device or feature that may take their attention off the r\
oad. Use of any
electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehi\
cle navigation
or other devices by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous \
and could
lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never
be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to de\
vote 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 telephone\
s or texting
while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. 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 friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp,
your reflexes are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking.
Never drink and then drive.
