Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars.
The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside
the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed the
maximum vehicle load capacity.
To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments, located at the
upper edge of each crossbar, approximately eight turns
using the anti-theft wrench provided with the Mopar cross-
bars. Then, move the crossbar to the desired position,
keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. Once the
crossbar is in the desired position, re-tighten the with the
wrench to lock the crossbar into position.
NOTE:
• To help control wind noise when the crossbars are not in use, place the front and rear crossbars approximately
24 inches (61 cm) apart. Optimal noise reduction can then
be achieved by adjusting the front crossbar forward or aft
using increments of 1 inch (2.5 cm). • If (or any metallic object) is placed over the satellite radio
antenna (if equipped), you may experience interruption of
satellite radio reception. For improved satellite radio
reception, avoid placing the rear crossbar over the satellite
radio antenna.
WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the vehicle,
particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal injury
or property damage. Follow the roof rack cautions when
carrying cargo on your roof rack.
CAUTION!
• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the crossbars
deployed. The load should be secured and placed on
top of the crossbars, not directly on the roof. If it is
necessary to place the load on the roof, place a blanket
or other protective layer between the load and the roof
surface.

Brake Warning Light This warning light monitors various brake func -
tions, including brake fluid level and parking brake
application. If the brake light turns on it may indi -
cate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid
level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock
brake system reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been
disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the
master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake
hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the
Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake
System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. In
this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been
corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the
ABS pump will run when applying the brake, and a brake
pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity in
the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A
leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the
Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake
fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a spec -
ified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE:
The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering
maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The vehicle
should have service performed, and the brake fluid level
checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution
(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning
Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate
repair to the ABS system is required.
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is
dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It
will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a
collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

Seat Belt Reminder Warning Light When the ignition is first placed in the ON/RUN or
MAR/ON/RUN position, if the driver’s seat belt is
unbuckled, a chime will sound and the light will
turn on. When driving, if the driver or front passenger seat
belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will
flash or remain on continuously and a chime will sound.
Refer to “Occupant Restraint Systems” in “Safety” for

Transmission Fault Warning Light
This light will illuminate (together with a message in
the instrument cluster display and a buzzer) to indi -
cate a transmission fault. Contact your authorized
dealer if the message remains after restarting the engine. Engine Oil Level Warning Light
This warning light appears on the panel when the
engine oil level falls below the minimum recom -
mended value. Restore the correct engine oil level or
contact your authorized dealer for service.
Yellow Warning Lights
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS).
The light will turn on when the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position and may stay
on for as long as four seconds.

If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, then
the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning
and service is required. However, the conventional brake
system will continue to operate normally if the brake
warning light is not on.
If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as
soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock Brakes.
If the ABS light does not turn on when the ignition is placed
in the ON/RUN or MAR/ON/RUN position, have the light
inspected by an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Continuous driving with the Transmission Temperature
Warning Light illuminated will eventually cause severe
transmission damage or transmission failure.
