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 trans-

portation.

WARNING!

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.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation of

features and equipment that are either standard or op-

tional 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 specifications, and/or make additions to or improve-

ments to its products without imposing any obligation

upon itself to install them on products previously manu-

factured.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US LLC ve-

hicle. 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 conventional passenger cars are not

intended. It handles and maneuvers differently from many

passenger cars both on-road and off-road, so take time to

become familiar with your 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 vehicle 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 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 “Driving Tips” in “Starting And Operating” for

further information.

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with the assis-

tance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you

with the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is

supplemented by Warranty Information, and various

customer-oriented documents. Please take the time to read

these publications carefully. Following the instructions and

recommendations in this manual will help assure safe and

enjoyable operation of your vehicle.

NOTE: After reviewing the owner 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 Jeep® vehicle best, has factory-trained

technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about

your satisfaction.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

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

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.
