• Exxon/Mobil Speedpass™, additional Sentry Keys 威 , or any other transponder-equipped components on the same key chain will not cause a key-r elated (transponder) fault unless the additional part is physi- cally held against the ignition key being used when starting the vehicle.
Customer Key Programming If you have two valid Sentry Keys 威 , you can pr ogram new Sentry Keys 威 to the system by performing the following procedur e: 1. Cut the additional Sentry Key 威 T ransponder blank(s) to match the ignition switch lock cylinder key code.
NOTE: If a programmed key is lost, see your authorized dealer to have all remaining keys erased from the sys- tem’s memory . This will prevent the lost key from starting your vehicle. The remaining keys must then be repr ogrammed. All vehicle keys must be taken to an authorized dealer at the time of service to be repr ogrammed.
3. The V ehicle Security Light in the instrument cluster will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds. This shows that the system is arming. During this period, if a door is opened, the ignition switch is turned ON, or the power door locks are unlocked in any manner , the V ehicle Security Alarm will automatically disarm.

NOTE: • In the event of a power malfunction, or the RKE transmitter is inoperative, insert the key into the liftgate lock cylinder and turn to the right (manual lock models only). Using the liftgate handle, pull the liftgate open with one fluid motion.
Gas props support the liftgate in the open position. However , because the gas pressure drops with tempera- ture, it may be necessary to assist the props when opening the liftgate in cold weather . OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the restraint systems.
ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All the seats in your vehicle are equipped with Lap/ Shoulder Belts. The belt webbing retractor is designed to lock during very sudden stops or collisions.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse. Y ou might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of part of the belt. Follow these instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your pas- sengers safe, too.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries.
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is very danger- ous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury . A belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front seat, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward to position the belt away from your neck. Push the anchorage button to release the anchorage, and move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
2. Grasp the mini-latch plate and pull the belt over the seat. 3. Route the shoulder belt to the inside of the right head restraint. Mini-Latch Stowage Routing The Rear Center Shoulder Belt THINGS TO .
4. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the mini- latch plate into the mini-buckle until you hear a “click.” 5. Sit back in the seat. Slide the regular latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 6.
on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, pull on the lap belt. A snug belt r educes the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision. 8. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck.
slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . Insert the mini-latch plate into the slot provided in the trim panel. Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front .
BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST ART position. Chrysler LLC does not recommend deactivating the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert 威 ).
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use when the seat belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
NOTE: The front airbags are certified to the Federal regulations that allow less forceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have different rates of inflation that are based on collision severity .
NOTE: Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open to allow airbag deployment. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are no longer functional.
Along with the seat belts, fr ont airbags work with the instrument panel knee impact bolsters to provide im- proved protection for the driver and front passenger . Side curtain airbags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to protect you in many types of collisions.
5. If a child fr om 1 to 12 years old must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child restraint (refer to information on Child Restraint in this section).
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (if equipped) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Ai.
• The ORC also turns on the Airbag W arning Light in the instrument panel for six to eight seconds as a self-check when the ignition is first turned on.
• The Side Impact SRS Side Curtain Airbag is designed to activate only in certain side collisions. When the ORC (with side impact option) detects a collision requiring the side curtain airbag to inflate, it signals the inflators on the crash side of the vehicle.
However , if you haven’t healed significantly within a few days, or if you have any blistering, see your doctor immediately . • As the airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-product of the process that generates the nontoxic gas used for airbag inflation.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you.
Event Data Recorder (EDR) In the event of an accident, your vehicle is designed to recor d up to five seconds of specific vehicle data param- eters (see list below) in an event data r ecorder prior to.
upon r equest. General data that does not identify par - ticular vehicles or crashes may be released for incorpo- ration in aggregate crash databases, such as those main- tained by the U.
• Cruise contr ol status • T raction/stability control status • T ire pressure monitoring system status Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up at all times — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small childr en ride in pr oper restraint systems.
Infants And Small Children There are dif ferent sizes and types of restraints for children from newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt. Always check the child seat owner’s manual to ensure you have the correct seat for your child.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing mor e than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who are still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s cushion while the child’s back is against the seatback; they should use a belt positioning booster seat.
Here are some tips on getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any restraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child r estraint in the vehicle where you will use it, before you buy it.
• Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufacturer’s directions. • When your child restraint is not in use, secure it in the vehicle with the seat belt or r emove it from the vehicle. Don’t leave it loose in the vehicle.
the vehicle’s seat belt for the outboard position, but you must use the vehicle’s seat belt at the center position. If your child restraints are not LA TCH-compatible, you can only install the child restraints using the vehicle’s seat belts. Please refer to Installing the Child Restraint System for typical installation instructions.
NOTE: When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is r ecommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child r estraint and out of reach.
Not all child restraint systems will be installed as we have described here. Again, carefully follow the instruc- tions that come with the child restraint system. NOTE: If your child restraint seat is not LA TCH com- patible, install the restraint using the vehicle seat belts.
• If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm or behind their back. T ransporting Pets Airbags deploying in the front seat could harm your pet.
SAFETY TIPS Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO) which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Airbag W arning Light The light should come on and remain on for six to eight seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the LED is not lit during starting, have it checked. If the light stays on, flickers, or comes on while driving, have the system checked by an authorized dealer .

FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION — IF EQUIPPED This feature provides full time, on-demand, four–wheel drive (4WD). Where one or more wheels have wheel spin or if addi- tional traction is needed in sand, deep snow , or loose traction surfaces, activate the 4WD LOCK switch by pulling up once and releasing.
W ARNING! Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the front wheels. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and possibly have an accident. Accelerate slowly and carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice, snow , wet, mud, loose sand, etc.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or cross a road or a path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow- ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
ON-ROAD DRIVING TIPS Utility vehicles have higher gr ound clearance and a narrower track to make them capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications. Specific design characteristics give them a higher center of gravity than ordinary cars.
CAUTION! Never park your vehicle over dry grass or other combustible materials. The heat from your vehicle exhaust system could cause a fire. W ARNING! Always wear your seat belt and firmly tie down cargo. Unsecured cargo can become projectiles in an off-road situation.
and avoid abrupt vehicle maneuvers. Y ou want to keep a slow constant steady pace. The key is to maintain the vehicle’s momentum. Snow In heavy snow or for additional control and traction at slower speeds, activate the 4WD LOCK and shift the transaxle to low (L Off-Road) if necessary .
Sand Soft sand is very difficult to travel through with full tire pressur e. When crossing soft sandy spots in a trail maintain your vehicle’s momentum and do not stop. The key to driving in soft sand is using the appropriate tir e pressur e, accelerating slowly , avoiding abrupt maneu- vers and maintaining the vehicle’s momentum.
forward until it makes contact with the object. Apply the throttle lightly while holding a light brake pressure and ease the vehicle up and over the object. W ARNING! Crossing obstacles can cause abrupt steering system loading which could cause you to loose control of your vehicle.
vehicle’s mobility . Approach these obstacles at a 45- degree angle and let each tire go through the obstacle independently . Y ou need to use caution when crossing large obstacles with steep sides. Do not attempt to cross any large obstacle with steep sides at an angle great enough to put the vehicle at risk of a roll over .
and place a few rocks under the tires so the weight is off of the high point when you let the vehicle down. Y ou can also try rocking the vehicle or winching the vehicle off the object. CAUTION! W inching or rocking the vehicle off hard objects increases the risk of underbody damage.
slightly to bring all four tires back on the ground. As you approach the crest of the hill ease off the throttle and slowly proceed over the top. If the wheels start to slip as you appr oach the crest of a hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain headway by turning the steering wheel no more than a 1/4 turn quickly back and forth.
Driving Across An Incline If at all possible avoid driving across an incline. If it is necessary , know your vehicle’s abilities. Driving across an incline places more weight on the down-hill wheels, which increases the possibilities of a down-hill slide or rollover .
designated and approved. Y ou should tread lightly and avoid damage to the environment. Y ou should know your vehicles abilities and be able to recover it if some- thing goes wrong. Y ou should never stop or shut a vehicle of f when crossing deep water unless you ingested water into the engine air intake.
soft bottoms the vehicle will sink in, effectively increas- ing the water level on the vehicle. Be sur e to consider this when determining the depth and the ability to safely cross. Crossing Puddles, Pools, Flooded Areas Or Other Standing W ater Puddles, pools, flooded or other standing water areas normally contain murky or muddy waters.
the slowest current can push the heaviest vehicle down- stream out of control if the water is deep enough to push on the large surface area of the vehicle’s body .
V ehicle Recovery If you drive off-r oad, you may encounter a situation where you will need to recover your vehicle. V ehicle recovery should always be given consideration before attempting a questionable obstacle. Y ou should never go off-r oad driving without the ability to recover your vehicle from a situation.
Rock Cycling Y our V ehicle Rock cycling your vehicle is one of the easiest, fastest and most commonly used methods. This simply involves shifting your vehicle from DRIVE to REVERSE, while applying throttle after each shift. During this process, for additional traction, try turning your steering wheel quickly back and forth no more than a 1/4 turn.
for a safe recovery . If necessary join two tow straps together using a 1 1/2 in (4 cm) hard wood dowel. This will keep the straps from becoming knotted and is safer than using a clevis pin if the strap breaks. Next have the tow vehicle backup, leaving 2 to 3 ft (61 to 91 cm) worth of slack in the strap.
• Check thr eaded fasteners for looseness, particularly on the chassis, drivetrain components, steering, and sus- pension. Retighten them, if requir ed, and torque to the values specified in the Service Manual. • Check for accumulations of plants or brush.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and increased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will pr ovide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated. Coor dinate inspection efforts thr ough an autho- rized dealer . No chemical flushes should be used in any power steering system; only the approved lubricant may be used.
NOTE: The parking brake lever will not release unless the lever is pulled up slightly past its applied position. When parking on a hill, it is important to set the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise, the load on the automatic transaxle locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
BRAKE SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with power assisted brakes as standard equipment. In the event power assist is lost for any reason (for example, repeated brake applications with the engine off), the brakes will still function.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) — If Equipped The ABS provides increased vehicle stability and brake performance under most braking conditions. The system automatically “pumps” the brakes during severe braking conditions to prevent wheel lock-up.
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.
W ARNING! The Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) contains sophis- ticated electronic equipment that may be susceptible to interference caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This in- terference can cause possible loss of Anti-Lock brak- ing capability .
Brake Assist System (BAS) The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The system detects an emergency braking situation by sens- ing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
T raction Control System (TCS) This system monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s) and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
W ARNING! Many factors, such as vehicle loading, road condi- tions and driving conditions, influence the chance that wheel lift or rollover may occur . ERM cannot prevent all wheel lift or rollovers, especially those that involve leaving the roadway or striking objects or other vehicles.
normal. When either the brake or the accelerator is released, HDC will control the vehicle back to the origi- nal set speed. HDC is only intended for low speed off-road driving.
ESP Indicator Light The “ESP Indicator Light” located in the instr ument cluster , starts to flash as soon as the tir es lose traction and the ESP system becomes active. If the “ESP Indicator Light” begins to flash during acceleration, ease up on the accelerator and apply as little throttle as possible.
Full On (4WD Models) or On (2WD Models) This is the normal operating mode for ESP . Whenever the vehicle is started the ESP system will be in this “On” mode. This mode should be used for most driving situations. ESP should only be turned to “Partial Off” or “ESP Off” for specific reasons as noted below .
In this mode, ESP is turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 35 mph (56 km/h). At 35 mph (56 km/h) the system r eturns to “Partial Off” mode, as described above. When the vehicle speed dr ops below 30 mph (48 km/h) the ESP system shuts off.
and the vehicle has been driven several miles/kilometers at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and corrected. NOTE: • The “ESP Indicator Light” and the “ESP/BAS W arning Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned ON.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tires have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

308 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pr essures specified on the placar d are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
W ARNING! • T emporary use spare tires are for emergency use only . With these tires, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). • T emporary-use spare tires have limited tread life. When the tread is worn to the tread wear indica- tors, the temporary use spare tire needs to be replaced.
W ARNING! The limited-use spare tires are for emergency use only . Installation of this limited-use spare tire affects vehicle handling. W ith this tire, do not drive more than 50 mph (80 km/h). Keep it inflated to the cold tire inflation pressure listed on either your tire plac- ard or limited-use spare tire and wheel assembly .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators are in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Due to limited clearance, tire chains are not r ecom- mended. CAUTION! Damage to the vehicle may result if tire chains are used. SNOW TIRES Some ar eas of the country requir e the use of snow tires during W inter .
Follow the r ecommended tir e r otation fr equency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” section of this manual. More frequent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being per- formed.
tires. The tire pressure will also increase as the vehicle is driven - this is normal and there should be no adjustment for this increased pressure. • The TPMS will warn the driver of a low tire pre.
CAUTION! • The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warnings have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system operation or sensor damage may result when us- ing replacement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style.
• Seasonal temperature changes will affect tire pressur e, and the TPMS will monitor the actual tire pressure in the tire. Base System This is the TPMS warning indicator located in the instrument cluster . The TPMS uses wireless technology with wheel rim mounted electronic sensors to monitor tire pressure lev- els.
Check TPMS W arnings The T ire Pressur e Monitoring T elltale Light will flash on and off for 75 seconds and remain on solid when a system fault is detected. The system fault will also sound a chime. If the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat providing the system fault still exists.

Reformulated Gasoline Many areas of the country require the use of cleaner burning gasoline r eferred to as “reformulated gasoline”. “Reformulated gasolines” contain oxygenates and are specifically blended to reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality .
If a Non-FFV vehicle is inadvertently fueled with E-85 fuel, the engine will have some or all of these symptoms: • operate in a lean mode • OBD II “Malfunction Indicator Light” on • poor eng.
MMT is prohibited in Federal and California reformu- lated gasolines. Materials Added T o Fuel All gasoline sold in the United States is required to contain ef fective deter gent additives. Use of additional detergents or other additives is not needed under normal conditions and would result in additional cost.
Carbon Monoxide W arnings W ARNING! Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is deadly . Follow the precautions below to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: • Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which can kill.
After removing the gas cap, place the gas cap tether cable over a hook on the inside of the fuel door . This keeps the gas cap suspended away from and protects the vehicle’s surface. CAUTION! • A poorly fitting gas cap may cause the Malfunc- tion Indicator Light (MIL) to turn on.
NOTE: T ighten the gas cap about 1/4 turn until you hear one click. This is an indication that cap is properly tightened. If the gas cap is not tighten properly , the MIL will come on. Be sure the gas cap is tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
VEHICLE LOADING As required by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or B-Pillar . V ehicle Certification Label Y our vehicle has a V ehicle Certification Label attached to the driver’s door B-Pillar .
Curb W eight The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer , carefully review this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. T ongue W eight (TW) The tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer .

T railer and T ongue Weight Always load a trailer with 60% to 65% of the weight in the front of the trailer . This places 10% to 15% of the Gross T railer W eight (GTW) on the tow hitch of your vehicle.
NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle. Also, additional factory-installed options, or authorized dealer-installed options, must be considered as part of the total load on your vehicle.
• Safety chains must always be used between your vehicle and trailer . Always connect the chains to the frame or hook retainers of the vehicle hitch. Cross the chains under the trailer tongue and allow enough slack for turning corners. • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade.
− When replacing tires, refer to “T ires–General Informa- tion” in this section for proper tire replacement proce- dures. Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle’s GVWR and GA WR limits.
W ARNING! Do not connect trailer brakes to your vehicle’s hy- draulic brake lines. It can overload your brake sys- tem and cause it to fail. Y ou might not have brakes when you need them and could have an accident. T owing any trailer will increase your stopping dis- tance.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
