INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting

your new vehicle. Be assured that it represents

precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and

high quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go

places and perform tasks that are not intended

for conventional passenger vehicles. It handles

and maneuvers differently from many passen-

ger 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 was 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 drive this vehicle,

read the Owner’s Manual. Be sure you are

familiar with all vehicle controls, particularly

those used for braking, steering, transmission,

and transfer case shifting. Learn how your ve-

hicle handles on different road surfaces. Your

driving skills will improve with experience. When

driving off-road, or working the vehicle, don’t

overload the vehicle or expect the vehicle to

overcome the natural laws of physics. Always

observe state, provincial and local laws wher-

ever you drive. As with other vehicles of this

type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may

result in lossof control or acollision. Refer tothe

“Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” for

further information.

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with

the assistance of service and engineering spe-

cialists to acquaint you with the operation and

maintenance 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 Cer-

tificate and the details of the terms and condi-

tions 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. 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 Owner’s Information, thatmay 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 pro-

duced. For this reason, it reserves the right to

make changes to the model described for tech-

nical and/or commercial reasons. For further

information, contact an authorized dealer.

If applicable, refer to the Owner’s Manual

Supplement for related information.

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 your

authorized dealer knows your vehicle best, has

factory-trained technicians and genuine

MOPAR® parts, and cares about your satisfac-

tion.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-

over 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

when some other vehicles may not.

Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers,

or other unsafe 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

carefully.

4

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat

belts provided isa major cause of severeor fatal

injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is

significantly more likely to die than a person

wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

ALL MATERIAL CONTAINED IN THIS PUBLI-

CATION IS BASED ON THE LATEST INFOR-

MATION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICA-

TION APPROVAL. THE RIGHT IS RESERVED

TO PUBLISH REVISIONS AT ANY TIME.

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with

the assistance of service and engineering spe-

cialists to acquaint you with the operation and

maintenance of your new vehicle. It is supple-

mented by a Warranty Information Booklet and

various customer-oriented documents. You are

urged to read these publications carefully. Fol-

lowing the instructions and recommendations in

this Owner’s Manual will help assure safe and

enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

After you have read the Owner’s Manual, it

should be stored in the vehicle for convenient

reference and remain with the vehicle when

sold.

The manufacturer reserves the right to make

changes in design and specifications, and/or to

make additions to or improvements in its prod-

ucts without imposing any obligations upon itself

to install them on products previously manufac-

tured.

The Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes

the features that are standard or available as

extra cost options. Therefore, some of the

equipment and accessories in this publication

may not appear on your vehicle.

NOTE:

Be sure to read the Owner’s Manual first before

driving your vehicle and before attaching or

installing parts/accessories or making other

modifications to the vehicle.

In view of the many replacement parts and

accessories from various manufacturers avail-

able on the market, the manufacturer cannot be

certain that the driving safety of your vehicle will

not be impaired by the attachment or installation

of such parts. Even if such parts are officially-

approved (for example, by a general operating

permit for the part or by constructing the part in

an officially approved design), or if an individual

operating permit was issued for the vehicle after

the attachment or installation of such parts, it

cannot be implicitly assumed that the driving

safety of your vehicle is unimpaired. Therefore,

neither experts nor official agencies are liable.

The manufacturer only assumes responsibility

when parts, which are expressly authorized or

recommended by the manufacturer, are at-

tached or installed at an authorized dealer. The

same applies when modifications to the original

condition are subsequently made on the manu-

facturer’s vehicles.

Your warranties do not cover any part that the

manufacturer did not supply. Nor do they cover

the cost of any repairs or adjustments that might

be caused or needed because of the installation

or use of non-manufacturer parts, components,

equipment, materials, or additives. Nor do your

warranties cover the costs of repairing damage

or conditions caused by any changes to your

vehicle that do not comply with the manufactur-

ers specifications.

KEYS

Key Fob

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.The

ignition system consists of a key fob with Re-

mote Keyless Entry (RKE) and a START/STOP

push button ignition system. The Remote Key-

less Entry system consists of a key fob and

Keyless Enter-N-Go feature if equipped.

NOTE:

The key fob may not be found if it is located next

to a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic

device; these devices may block the key fob’s

wireless signal.

The key fob allows you to lock or unlock the

doors and liftgate from distances up to approxi-

mately 66 ft (20 m) using a handheld key fob.

The key fob does not need to be pointed at the

vehicle to activate the system.

NOTE:

• With ignition on/start and the vehicle moving

at 5 mph (8 km/h), all RKE commands are

disabled.

In case the ignition switch does not change with

the push of a button, the key fob may have a low

or fully depleted battery. A low key fob battery

can be verified by referring to the instrument

cluster, which will display directions to follow.

To Unlock The Doors And Liftgate

Push and release the unlock button on the key

fob once to unlock the driver’s door or twice

within five seconds to unlock all doors and the

liftgate.

All doors can be programmed to unlock on the

first push of the unlock button. Refer to

“Uconnect Settings” in “Multimedia” for further

information.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is unlocked by a key fob, and no

door is opened within 60 seconds, the vehicle

will re-lock and if equipped, the security alarm

will arm.

The turn signal lights will flash twice to acknowl-

edge the unlock signal. The illuminated entry

system will be activated.

1st Push Of Key Fob Unlock Button

This feature lets you program the system to

driver, or a coin and gently pry the two halves

of the key fob apart. Make sure not to dam-

age the seal during removal.

3. Remove the battery by turning the back

cover over (battery facing downward) and

tapping it lightly on a solid surface such as a

table or similar and replacethe battery. When

replacing the battery, match the + sign on the

Programming Additional Key Fobs

Programming the key fob may be performed by

an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Once a key fob is programmed to a vehicle, it

cannot be repurposed and reprogrammed to

another vehicle.

Request For Additional 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 programmed

to any other vehicle.

WARNING!

• Always remove the key fobs from the ve-

hicle and lock all doors when leaving the

vehicle unattended.

• Always remember to place the ignition in

the OFF mode.

Duplication of key fobs may be performed at an

authorized dealer. This procedure 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

System serviced, bring all vehicle keys with

you to an authorized dealer.

• Keys must be ordered to the correct key cut

to match the vehicle locks.

NOTE:

operating modes that are labeled and will illumi-

nate when in position. These modes are OFF,

ACC, RUN, and START.

NOTE:

If the ignition switch does not change with the

push of a button, the key fob may have a low or

dead battery. In this situation, a back up method

can be used to operate the ignition switch. Put

key) of the key fob against the ENGINE START/

STOP button and push to operate the ignition

switch.

The push button ignition can be placed in the

following modes:
