INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US

LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents pre-

cision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high

quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go

places and perform tasks that conventional pas-

senger vehicles are not intended. It handles and

maneuvers differently from many passenger ve-

hicles both on-road and off-road, so take time to

become familiar with your vehicle.

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 con-

ditions suited for a four-wheel drive vehicle.

Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the

Owner’s Manual and all the Supplements. Be

sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,

particularly those used for braking, steering, and

transmission and power transfer unit shifting.

Learn how your vehicle handles on different

road surfaces. Your driving skills will improve

with experience, but as in driving any vehicle,

take it easy as you begin. When driving off-road

or working the vehicle, don’t overload it or

expect it to overcome the forces of nature.

Always observe 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. Be sure to read the

“On-Road/ Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting

And Operating” for further information.

NOTE:

After reviewing the owner information, it

should be stored in the vehicle for conve-

nient referencing and remain with the ve-

hicle when sold.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may

result in loss of control or a collision.

Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or

while intoxicated may result in loss of control,

collision with other vehicles or objects, going off

the road, or overturning; any of which may lead

to serious injury or death. Also, failure to use

seat belts subjects the driver and passengers to

a greater risk of injury or death.

To keep your vehicle running at its best, have

your vehicle serviced at recommended intervals

by an authorized dealer or distributor who has

the qualified personnel, special tools and equip-

ment to perform all service.

The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally

interested in your complete satisfaction with this

vehicle. If you encounter a service or warranty

problem which is not resolved to your satisfac-

tion, discuss the matter with your authorized

dealer or distributor’s management.

Your authorized dealer or distributor will be

happy to assist you with any questions about

your vehicle.

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.

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.

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.
