3. Disconnect the positive end(+)of the
jumper cable from the positive (+)post of
the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the posi- tive (+)jumper cable from the remote
positive (+)post of the discharged
vehicle.
5. Close the cover of the Front Power Distri- bution Center.
If frequent jump starting is required to start
your vehicle you should have the battery and
charging system inspected at your authorized
dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle
power outlets draw power from the vehi-
cle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough without engine
operation, the vehicle’s battery will dis-
charge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.
Battery Location
There are two remote jump starting posts
under the hood which is the recommended
jump start location. If access to the battery is
needed, an access panel on the driver’s side
floor will allow for battery access.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can
reduce the potential for overheating by taking
the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in NEUTRAL, but do not in-
crease the engine idle speed while prevent-
ing vehicle motion with the brakes.
NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow
down an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine
cooling system and turning the A/C off can
help remove this heat. • You can also turn the temperature control
to maximum heat, the mode control to floor
and the blower control to high. This allows
the heater core to act as a supplement to
the radiator and aids in removing heat from
the engine cooling system.
WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot
engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from
your radiator. If you see or hear steam
coming from under the hood, do not open
the hood until the radiator has had time to
cool. Never try to open a cooling system
pressure cap when the radiator or coolant
bottle is hot.
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
118

NOTE:
Push the "ESC Off" switch, to place
the Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system in "Partial Off" mode, before
rocking the vehicle. Refer to “Electronic
Brake Control System” in “Safety” in the
Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/
en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S. Resi-
dents) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian
Residents) for further information. Once the
vehicle has been freed, push the "ESC Off"
switch again to restore "ESC On" mode.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause damage, or even failure,
of the axle and tires. A tire could explode
and injure someone. Do not spin your
vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds
continuously without stopping when you
are stuck and do not let anyone near a
spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.
CAUTION!
• When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shift-ing between DRIVE and REVERSE, do
not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph
(24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may
result.
• Spinning the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and failure. It
can also damage the tires. Do not spin
the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h)
while in gear (no transmission shifting
occurring).
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
120

Radial Ply Tires
WARNING!
Combining radial ply tires with other types
of tires on your vehicle will cause your
vehicle to handle poorly. The instability
could cause a collision. Always use radial
ply tires in sets of four. Never combine
them with other types of tires.
Tire Repair
If your tire becomes damaged, it may be
repaired if it meets the following criteria:
• The tire has not been driven on when flat.
• The damage is only on the tread section of your tire (sidewall damage is not repair-
able).
• The puncture is no greater thana¼ofan inch (6 mm).
Consult an authorized tire dealer for tire re-
pairs and additional information. Damaged Run Flat tires, or Run Flat tires that
have experienced a loss of pressure should be
replaced immediately with another Run Flat
tire of identical size and service description
(Load Index and Speed Symbol).
Run Flat Tires — If Equipped
Run Flat tires allow you the capability to drive
50 miles (80 km) at 50 mph (80 km/h) after
a rapid loss of inflation pressure. This rapid
loss of inflation is referred to as the Run Flat
mode. A Run Flat mode occurs when the tire
inflation pressure is of/or below 14 psi
(96 kPa). Once a Run Flat tire reaches the
run flat mode it has limited driving capabili-
ties and needs to be replaced immediately. A
Run Flat tire is not repairable.
It is not recommended driving a vehicle
loaded at full capacity or to tow a trailer while
a tire is in the run flat mode.
See the tire pressure monitoring section for
more information.
Tire Spinning
When stuck in mud, sand, snow, or ice con-
ditions, do not spin your vehicle's wheels
above 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than
30 seconds continuously without stopping.
Refer to “Freeing A Stuck Vehicle” in “In
Case Of Emergency” for further information.
WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous.
Forces generated by excessive wheel
speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A
tire could explode and injure someone. Do
not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than
30 mph (48 km/h) for more than 30 sec-
onds continuously when you are stuck,
and do not let anyone near a spinning
wheel, no matter what the speed.

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 mini\
mum. 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 a\
nd then drive.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the
driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may tak\
e 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 coul\
d lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehic\
le 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 telephone\
s or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
