If you are the ﬁrst registered retail

owner of your vehicle, you may

obtain a complimentary printed copy

of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation/

Uconnect Manuals or Warranty

Booklets by calling 1 877 426-5337

(U.S.) or 1 800 387-1143 (Canada)

or by contacting your dealer.

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

take their attention o 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 could lead to

a serious collision. Texting while

driving is also dangerous and

should never be done while the

vehicle is moving.

If you ﬁnd yourself unable to

devote your full attention to vehicle

operation, pull o the road to a

safe location and stop your vehicle.

Some states or provinces prohibit

the use of cellular telephones or

texting while driving. It is always

the driver’s responsibility to

comply with all local laws.

Important:

This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the

important features of your vehicle. Your Owner’s Manual,

Navigation/Uconnect Manuals and Warranty Booklets can be

found on your DVD (if applicable) or by visiting the website

on the back cover of your User Guide. We hope you ﬁnd

it useful. U.S. residents can purchase replacement kits by

visiting www.techauthority.com and Canadian residents can

purchase replacement kits by calling 1 800 387-1143.

This guide has been prepared to help

you get quickly acquainted with your

new Jeep brand vehicle and to provide a

convenient reference source for common

questions. However, it is not a substitute

for your Owner’s Manual.

For complete operational instructions,

maintenance procedures and important

safety messages, please consult your

Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect

manuals found on the website on the

back cover and other Warning Labels

in your vehicle.

Not all features shown in this

guide may apply to your vehicle. For

additional information on accessories

to help personalize your vehicle, visit

www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca

(Canada) or your local Jeep brand dealer.

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 minimum. 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 and then drive.

Congratulations on selecting your new FCA

US LLC (“FCA US”) vehicle. Be assured that

it represents precision workmanship, distinc-

tive styling, and high quality.

Your new FCA US LLC vehicle has character-

istics to enhance the driver's control under

some driving conditions. These are to assist

the driver and are never a substitute for

attentive driving. They can never take the

driver's place. Always drive carefully.

Your new vehicle has many features for the

comfort and convenience of you and your

passengers. Some of these should not be

used when driving because they take your

eyes from the road or your attention from

driving. Never text while driving, or more than

momentarily take your eyes off the road.

This guide illustrates and describes the op-

eration of features and equipment that are

either standard or optional on this vehicle.

This guide may also include a description of

features and equipment that are no longer

available or were not ordered on this vehicle.

Please disregard any features and equipment

described in this guide that are not available

on this vehicle. FCA US reserves the right to

make changes in design and specifications

and/or make additions to or improvements to

its products without imposing any obligation

upon itself to install them on products previ-

ously manufactured.

This User Guide has been prepared to help

you quickly become acquainted with the im-

portant features of your vehicle. It contains

most things you will need to operate and

maintain the vehicle, including emergency

information.

For complete owner information, refer to your

Owner's Manual at www.jeep.com/en/owners/

manuals/ for further details. For your conve-

nience, the information contained on this site

may also be printed and saved for future

reference.

FCA US LLC is committed to protecting our

environment and natural resources. By con-

verting from paper to electronic delivery for

the majority of the user information for your

vehicle, together we greatly reduce the de-

mand for tree-based products and lessen the

stress on our environment.

When it comes to service, remember that your

authorized dealer knows your Jeep

®

vehicle

best, has factory-trained technicians and

genuine MOPAR

®

parts, and cares about your

satisfaction.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Each time direction instructions (left/right or

forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are

given, these must be intended as regarding

an occupant in the driver's seat. Special

cases not complying with this rule will be

properly specified in the text.

The figures in this User Guide are provided by

way of example only: this might imply that

some details of the image do not correspond

to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.

In addition, the User Guide has been con-

ceived considering vehicles with steering

wheel on the left side; it is therefore possible

that on vehicles with steering wheel on the

right side, the position or construction of

some controls is not exactly mirror-like with

respect to the figure.

To identify the chapter with the information

needed you can consult the index at the end

of this User Guide.

Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi-

cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd

page. A few pages further there is a key for

getting to know the chapter order and the

relevant symbols in the tabs. There is anyway

a textual indication of the current chapter at

the side of each even page.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored la-

bels whose symbols indicate precautions to

be observed when using this component.

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 maneu-

vers, or other unsafe driving actions that can

cause loss of vehicle control. Failure to oper-

ate this vehicle safely may result in a colli-

sion, 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

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 signifi-

cantly more likely to die than a person wear-

ing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

fully followed to prevent incorrect use of the

components of the vehicle, which could

cause accidents or injuries.

VEHICLE CHANGES/

ALTERATIONS

IMPORTANT: Any change or alteration of the

vehicle might seriously affect its safety and

road holding, thus causing accidents, in

which the occupants could even be fatally

injured.

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer System prevents

unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling

the engine. The system does not need to be

armed or activated. Operation is automatic,

regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or

unlocked.

The system uses key fobs that have an em-

bedded electronic chip (transponder) to pre-

vent unauthorized vehicle operation. There-

fore, only key fobs that are programmed to

the vehicle can be used to start and operate

the vehicle. The system will shut the engine

off in two seconds if someone uses an invalid

key to try to start the engine.

NOTE:

A key fob that has not been programmed is

also considered an invalid key, even if it is cut

to fit the ignition or lock cylinder for that

vehicle.

During normal operation, after placing the

ignition in the on position, the vehicle secu-

rity light will turn on for three seconds for a

bulb check. If the light remains on after the

bulb check, it indicates that there is a prob-

lem with the electronics. In addition, if the

vehicle security light begins to flash after the

bulb check, it indicates that someone used

an invalid key to try to start the engine. Either

of these conditions will result in the engine

being shut off after two seconds.

If the vehicle security light turns on during

normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for

longer than ten seconds), it indicates that

there is a fault in the electronics. Should this

occur, have the vehicle serviced as soon as

possible by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system is not

compatible with some aftermarket remote

starting systems. Use of these systems

may result in vehicle starting problems

and loss of security protection.

All of the key fobs provided with your new

vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle

electronics.

Replacement Key Fobs

NOTE:

Only key fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and

operate the vehicle. Once a key fob is pro-

grammed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-

grammed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

Always remove the Sentry Keys from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the

vehicle unattended.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at

an authorized dealer or by following the cus-

tomer key programming procedure. This pro-

cedure consists of programming a blank key

fob to the vehicle electronics. A blank key fob

is one that has never been programmed.

NOTE:

When having the Sentry Key Immobilizer Sys-

tem serviced, bring all vehicle key fobs with

you to an authorized dealer.

17

Customer Key Programming

If you have two valid key fobs, you can pro-

gram new key fobs to the Sentry Key Immo-

bilizer system by performing the following

procedure:

1. Cut the additional key(s) to match the

ignition and lock cylinder key code.

2. Insert the first valid key into the ignition.

Place the ignition in the ON/RUN position

for at least three seconds, but no longer

than 15 seconds. Then, place the ignition

in the LOCK position and remove the first

key.

3. Insert the second valid key into the igni-

tion. Place the ignition in the ON/RUN

position within 15 seconds. After 10 sec-

onds, a chime will sound. In addition, the

Vehicle Security Light will begin to flash.

Place the ignition in the LOCK position

and remove the second key.

4.

Insert a blank key into the ignition. Place the

ignition in the ON/RUN position within

60 seconds. After 10 seconds, a single

chime will sound. In addition, the Vehicle

Security Light will stop flashing. To indicate

that programming is complete, the Vehicle

Security Light will turn on again for three

seconds and then turn off.

The new key is programmed. The key fob

will also be programmed during this pro-

cedure.

Repeat this procedure to program up to eight

keys. If you do not have a programmed key

fob, contact your authorized dealer for de-

tails.

NOTE:

If a programmed key fob is lost, see your

authorized dealer to have all remaining key

fobs erased from the system's memory. This

will prevent the lost key from starting your

vehicle. The remaining key fobs must then be

reprogrammed. All vehicle key fobs must be

taken to an authorized dealer at the time of

service to be reprogrammed.
