With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name

FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents.

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.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation

of features and equipment that are either standard or

optional on this vehicle. This manual 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 manual that are not on this vehicle.

FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in

design and specications, and/or make additions to

or improvements to its products without imposing

any obligation upon itself to install them on products

previously manufactured.

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident.

Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes 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 workman-

ship, distinctive styling, and high quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and

p

erf

orm tasks that are not intended for conventional

passenger vehicles. It handles and maneuvers differently

from many passenger vehicles, both on-road and off-road, so

take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped,

the two-wheel drive version of this vehicle is designed for

on-road use only. It is not intended for off-road driving or

use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel drive

vehicle. Before you start to operate this vehicle, read the

Owner’s Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle

controls, particularly those used for braking, steering, trans

-

mission, and transfer case operation. Learn how your vehicle

hand

les on different road surfaces. Your driving skills will

improve with experience. When driving off-road, or oper

-

ating the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the

vehi

cle to overcome the natural laws of physics. Always

observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever

you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to

operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or

a collision. Refer to the “Driving Tips” in “Starting and Oper

-

ating” for further information.

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with the assistance

of s

ervice and engineering specialists to acquaint you with

the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is supple

-

mented by Warranty Information, and customer-oriented

docu

ments located online. Within this information, you will

find a description of the services that FCA US LLC offers to

its customers, the vehicle’s warranty coverage, 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, recommendations, tips, and

important warnings in this manual will help assure safe and

enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

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

Opti

ons 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

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

Essential Information

Consult the Table of Contents at the front of this Owner’s

Manual to determine which section contains the information

you desire.

Since the specification of your vehicle depends on the items

of e

quipment ordered, certain descriptions and illustrations

may differ from your vehicle's equipment.

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

c

o

nt

ains a complete listing of all subjects.

Symbols

Some vehicle components have colored labels whose

symbols indicate precautions to be observed when using this

component. Refer to “Warning Lights and Messages” in

“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for further infor

-

mation 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

unsa

fe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control.

Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a collision,

rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive care

-

fully.

INTRODUCTION 15

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is

a ma

jor cause of severe or fatal injury. In fact, the US govern-

ment notes that the universal use of existing seat belts could

c

ut

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.

CAMPERS

This vehicle is NOT recommended for slide-in camper appli-

cations.
