Driving after drinking can lead to an accident.

Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are

slower, and your judgment is impaired when you

have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on selecting your new vehicle. Be assured

that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styl-

ing, and high quality. This Owner’s Manual has been

prepared with the assistance of service and engineering

specialists to acquaint you with the operation and mainte-

nance of your vehicle. It is supplemented by Warranty

Information, and customer oriented documents. In the

attached Warranty Booklet, you will find a description of

the services that FCA offers to its customers, the Warranty

Certificate and the details of the terms and conditions for

maintaining its validity. Please take the time to read all of

these publications carefully before driving your vehicle for

the first time. Following the instructions, recommenda-

tions, tips, and important warnings in this manual will

help assure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particu-

larly those used for braking, steering, transmission, and

transfer case shifting (if equipped). Learn how your vehicle

handles on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will

improve with experience.

This Owner’s Manual describes all versions of this vehicle.

Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or

versions are not expressly indicated in the text. Therefore,

you should only consider the information which is related

to the trim level, engine, and version that you have

purchased. Any content introduced throughout the Own-

er’s Information, that may or may not be applicable to your

vehicle, will be identified with the wording “If Equipped”.

All data contained in this publication are intended to help

you use your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA aims at

a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this

reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model

described for technical and/or commercial reasons. For

further information, contact an authorized dealer.

NOTE: After reviewing the Owner’s Information, it should

be stored in the vehicle for convenient referencing, and

remain with the vehicle when sold.

When it comes to service, remember that an authorized

dealer knows your vehicle best, has factory-trained techni-

cians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your

satisfaction.

4 INTRODUCTION

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Consult the Table of Contents to determine which section

contains the information you desire.

Since the specification of your vehicle depends on the items

of equipment ordered, certain descriptions and illustra-

tions may differ from your vehicle’s equipment.

The detailed index at the back of this Owner’s Manual

contains a complete listing of all subjects.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored labels whose sym-

bols indicate precautions to be observed when using this

component. Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further

information on the symbols used in your vehicle.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate

than other types of vehicles. This vehicle has a higher

ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many

passenger vehicles. It is capable of performing better in a

wide variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe

manner, all vehicles can go out of control. Because of the

higher center of gravity, if this vehicle is out of control it

may roll over while some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers, or other

unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle con-

trol. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a

collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury.

Drive carefully.

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided

is a major cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the U.S.

government notes that the universal use of existing seat

Rollover Warning Label

INTRODUCTION 5

belts could cut the highway death toll by 10,000 or more

each year and could reduce disabling injuries by two

million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat

belt. Always buckle up.

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS

This Owner’s Manual contains WARNINGS against oper-

ating procedures that could result in a collision, bodily

injury and/or death. It also contains CAUTIONS against

procedures that could result in damage to your vehicle. If

you do not read this entire Owner’s Manual, you may miss

important information. Observe all Warnings and Cau-

tions.

VEHICLE MODIFICATIONS/ALTERATIONS

WARNING!

Any modifications or alterations to this vehicle could

seriously affect its roadworthiness and safety and may

lead to a collision resulting in serious injury or death.
