WARNING!
• If working on or near a roadway, beextremely careful of motor traffic.
• To assure that spare tires, flat or in-
flated, are securely stowed, spares must
be stowed with the valve stem facing the
ground.
• The stowed spare tire should always be
checked for security by pushing on it
with your hand , at the location under
the rear bumper, behind the vehicle. The
spare tire should not move when fully
secured by the winch under the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Do not attempt to raise the vehicle by
jacking on locations other than those indi-
cated in the Jacking Instructions for this
vehicle.
1. Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug bolts with the wrench handle by turning
them to the left one turn while the wheel
is still on the ground. 2. There are two jack engagement locations
on each side of the vehicle body.
NOTE:
Place the jack underneath the jack engage-
ment location that is closest to the flat tire.
WARNING!
Being under a jacked-up vehicle is danger-
ous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and
fall on you. You could be crushed. Never
get any part of your body under a vehicle
that is on a jack. If you need to get under a
raised vehicle, take it to a service center

CYBERSECURITY
Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and
may be equipped with both wired and wire-
less networks. These networks allow your
vehicle to send and receive information. This
information allows systems and features in
your vehicle to function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain
security features to reduce the risk of unau-
thorized and unlawful access to vehicle sys-
tems and wireless communications. Vehicle
software technology continues to evolve over
time and FCA US LLC, working with its sup-
pliers, evaluates and takes appropriate steps
as needed. Similar to a computer or other
devices, your vehicle may require software
updates to improve the usability and perfor-
mance of your systems or to reduce the po-
tential risk of unauthorized and unlawful ac-
cess to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access
to your vehicle systems may still exist, even if
the most recent version of vehicle software
(such as Uconnect software) is installed.
WARNING!
• It is not possible to know or to predict allof the possible outcomes if your vehi-
cle’s systems are breached. It may be
possible that vehicle systems, including
safety related systems, could be im-
paired or a loss of vehicle control could
occur that may result in an accident
involving serious injury or death.
• ONLY insert media (e.g., USB, SD card,
or CD) into your vehicle if it came from a
trusted source. Media of unknown origin
could possibly contain malicious soft-
ware, and if installed in your vehicle, it
may increase the possibility for vehicle
systems to be breached.
• As always, if you experience unusual
vehicle behavior, take your vehicle to
your nearest authorized dealer immedi-
ately.
NOTE:
• FCA or your dealer may contact you directly regarding software updates. • To help further improve vehicle security
and minimize the potential risk of a secu-
rity breach, vehicle owners should: – Routinely check
www.driveuconnect.com/software-update
to learn about available Uconnect soft-
ware updates.
– Only connect and use trusted media devices (e.g. personal mobile phones,
USBs, CDs).
Privacy of any wireless and wired communi-
cations cannot be assured. Third parties may
unlawfully intercept information and private
communications without your consent. For
further information, refer to “Onboard Diag-
nostic System (OBD II) Cybersecurity” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” in
your Owner’s Manual at www.mopar.com/
