Rear Heated Seats
On some models, the two outboard seats are
equipped with heated seats. The heated seat
switches for these seats are located on the
rear of the center console.
There are two heated seat switches that allow
the rear passengers to operate the seats in-
dependently. You can choose from HI, LO or
OFF heat settings. Amber indicator lights in
each switch indicate the level of heat in use.
Two indicator lights will illuminate for HI, one
for LO and none for OFF.Push the switch once
to select HI-level heat-
ing. Push the switch a
second time to select
LO-level heating. Push
the switch a third time
to shut the heating el-
ements OFF.
NOTE:
• Once a heat setting is selected, heat will be felt within two to five minutes.
• The engine must be running for the heated seats to operate. When the HI-level setting is selected, the
heater will provide a boosted heat level dur-
ing the first four minutes of operation. Then,
the heat output will drop to the normal HI-
level. If the HI-level setting is selected, the
system will automatically switch to LO-level
after approximately 60 minutes of continu-
ous operation. At that time, the number of
illuminated LEDs changes from two to one,
indicating the change. The LO-level setting
will turn OFF automatically after approxi-
mately 45 minutes.
Ventilated Seats — If Equipped
Located in the seat cushion are small fans
that draw the air from the passenger compart-
ment and pull air through fine perforations in
the seat cover to help keep the driver and
front passenger cooler in higher ambient tem-
peratures. The fans operate at two speeds, HI
and LO.
The front ventilated seats control buttons are
located within the climate or controls screen
of the touchscreen.
• Press the ventilated seat button
once
to choose HI. • Press the ventilated seat button
a
second time to choose LO.
• Press the ventilated seat button
a third
time to turn the ventilated seat OFF.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the ventilated
seats to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the ventilated seats can be programed
to come on during a remote start.
If your vehicle is equipped with a touchscreen,
this feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Settings”
in “Multimedia” at
www.mopar.com/en-us/
care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or

for further information.

The auxiliary power outlets can be found in
the following locations:
• Lower left and lower right in the center ofthe instrument panel – if equipped with a
column or a eight-speed electronic gear
selector.
• Inside the top storage tray.
• Rear of the center console storage compartment. When the vehicle is turned off, be sure to
unplug any equipment as to not drain the
battery of the vehicle. All accessories con-
nected to the outlet(s) should be removed or
turned off when the vehicle is not in use to
protect the battery against discharge.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.
CAUTION!
• Many accessories that can be plugged indraw power from the vehicle's battery,
even when not in use (i.e., cellular
phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in
long enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from start-
ing.
• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e.,
coolers, vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.),
will discharge the battery even more

CAUTION!
quickly. Only use these intermittently
and with greater caution.
• After the use of high power draw acces-
sories, or long periods of the vehicle not
being started (with accessories still
plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the
generator to recharge the vehicle's bat-
tery.
Power Inverter — If Equipped
A 115 or 230 Volt (150 Watts Maximum)
outlet is located on the center stack of the
instrument panel, to the right of the radio.
This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring
power up to 150 Watts. Certain high-end
video game consoles will exceed this power
limit, as will most power tools. The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of
150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter
will automatically shut down. Once the elec-
trical device has been removed from the out-
let the inverter should automatically reset.
To turn on the power outlet, simply plug in the
device. The outlet automatically turns off
when the device is unplugged.
NOTE:
• The Power Inverter will only turn on if the
ignition is in the ACC or ON/RUN position
• Due to built-in overload protection, the power inverter will shut down if the power
rating is exceeded.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
• Do not insert any objects into the
receptacles.
• Do not touch with wet hands.
• Close the lid when not in use.
• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause
an electric shock and failure.

When you must leave the vehicle to seek
assistance, the Hazard Warning flashers will
continue to operate even though the ignition
is placed in the OFF position.

ers may wear down your battery.

There are many ways to play music from
MP3 players, or USB devices through your
vehicle's sound system. Press your Media
button on the touchscreen to begin.
Audio Jack (AUX)
• The AUX allows a device to be plugged intothe radio and utilize the vehicle’s sound
system, using a 3.5 mm audio cable, to
amplify the source and play through the
vehicle speakers.
• Pressing the “AUX” button on the touch- screen will change the mode to auxiliary
device if the audio jack is connected, allow-
ing the music from your device to be heard
through the vehicle's speakers. To activate
the AUX, plug in the audio jack.
• The functions of the device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may
be controlled using the radio or device.
USB Port
• Connect your compatible device using a
USB cable into the USB Port. USB Memory
sticks with audio files can also be used.
Audio from the device can be played on the
vehicles sound system while providing
metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
• When connected, the compatible USB de- vice can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip
to the next or previous track, browse, and
list the contents.
• The battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific de-
vice).
• To route the USB cable out of the center console, use the access cut out. NOTE:
When connecting your device for the first
time, the system may take several minutes to
read your music, depending on the number of
files. For example, the system will take ap-
proximately five minutes for every
1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also dur-
ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess is needed to ensure the full use of your
features and only happens the first time it is
connected. After the first time, the reading
process of your device will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
