HEAD RESTRAINTS
Head restraints are designed to reduce the
risk of injury by restricting head movement in
the event of a rear impact. Head restraints
should be adjusted so that the top of the head
restraint is located above the top of your ear.
WARNING!
• All occupants, including the driver,should not operate a vehicle or sit in a
vehicle’s seat until the head restraints
are placed in their proper positions in
order to minimize the risk of neck injury
in the event of a crash.
• Head restraints should never be ad-
justed while the vehicle is in motion.
Driving a vehicle with the head restraints
improperly adjusted or removed could
cause serious injury or death in the
event of a collision.
Front Head Restraint Adjustment
To raise the head restraint, pull upward on
the head restraint. To lower the head re-
straint, push the adjustment button located
on the base of the head restraint and push
downward on the head restraint. NOTE:
Do not reposition the head restraint 180 de-
grees to the incorrect position in an attempt
to gain additional clearance to the back of the
head.
Rear Head Restraint Adjustment
The rear seats are equipped with adjustable
and removable head restraints. To raise the
head restraint, pull upward on the head re-
straint. To lower the head restraint, push the
adjustment button located on the base of the
head restraint and push downward on the
head restraint.
NOTE:
•
The rear center head restraint (Crew Cab and
Quad Cab) has only one adjustment position
that is used to aid in the routing of a tether.
Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in “Safety” in
the Owner's Manual at
www.mopar.com/
en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S.
Residents) or www.owners.mopar.ca
(Canadian Residents) for further information.

grees to the incorrect position in an attempt
to gain additional clearance to the back of the
head.

a collision or hard stop could cause se-
rious injury or death to occupants of the
vehicle. Always securely stow removed
head restraints in a location outside the

The heated steering wheel control button is
located on the center instrument panel below
the climate controls. There are also buttons
located within the climate or controls screen
of the touchscreen.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
once to turn the heating element on.
• Press the heated steering wheel button
a second time to turn the heating element
off.
NOTE:
The engine must be running for the heated
steering wheel to operate.
Vehicles Equipped With Remote Start
On models that are equipped with remote
start, the heated steering wheel can be pro-
grammed to come on during a remote start.
This feature can be programmed through the
Uconnect system. Refer to “Uconnect Set-
tings” in “Multimedia” in the Owner’s
Manual at www.mopar.com/en-us/care/
owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or
www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Residents)
for further information.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age,
chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord in-
jury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion, or other physical conditions must
exercise care when using the steering
wheel heater. It may cause burns even at
low temperatures, especially if used for
long periods.
• Do not place anything on the steering
wheel that insulates against heat, such
as a blanket or steering wheel covers of
any type and material. This may cause
the steering wheel heater to overheat.
DRIVER ADJUSTABLE PEDALS —
IF EQUIPPED
The adjustable pedals system is designed to
allow a greater range of driver comfort for
steering wheel tilt and seat position. This
feature allows the brake, accelerator, and clutch pedals (if equipped) to move toward or
away from the driver to provide improved
position with the steering wheel.
The adjustable pedal switch is located to the
left side of the steering column.
• The pedals can be adjusted with the igni-
tion OFF.
• The pedals cannotbe adjusted when the
vehicle is in REVERSE or when the Speed
Control System is on. The following mes-
sages will appear on vehicles equipped with
an instrument cluster display if the pedals
are attempted to be adjusted when the
system is locked out: “Adjustable Pedal
Disabled — Cruise Control Engaged” or
“Adjustable Pedal Disabled — Vehicle In
Reverse”.
NOTE:
• Always adjust the pedals to a position that allows full pedal travel.
• Further small adjustments may be neces- sary to find the best possible seat/pedal
position.

As a guide, if you are shorter than average,
you will prefer the shoulder belt anchorage in
a lower position, and if you are taller than
average, you will prefer the shoulder belt
anchorage in a higher position. After you
release the anchorage button, try to move it
up or down to make sure that it is locked in
position.NOTE:
The adjustable upper shoulder belt anchor-
age is equipped with an Easy Up feature. This
feature allows the shoulder belt anchorage to
be adjusted in the upward position without
pushing or squeezing the release button. To
verify the shoulder belt anchorage is latched,
pull downward on the shoulder belt anchor-
age until it is locked into position.
WARNING!
• Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could
make your injuries in a collision much
worse. You might suffer internal injuries,
or you could even slide out of the seat
belt. Follow these instructions to wear
your seat belt safely and to keep your
passengers safe, too.
• Position the shoulder belt across the
shoulder and chest with minimal, if any
slack so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will
withdraw any slack in the shoulder belt.
• Misadjustment of the seat belt could
reduce the effectiveness of the safety
belt in a crash.
First Row Center Seat Belt Operating
Instructions (Regular Cab Only)
The first row center seat belt (Regular Cab
only) features a seat belt with a mini-latch
plate and buckle, which allows the seat belt
to detach from the lower anchor when the
seat is folded. The latch plate and regular
latch plate can then be stored out of the way
in the seat for added convenience to open up
utilization of the storage areas behind the
front seats when the seat is not occupied.
