INSTALLATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTING

EQUIPMENT

Special design considerations are incorporated into this

vehicle’s electronic system to provide immunity to radio

frequency signals. Mobile two-way radios and telephone

equipment must be installed properly by trained person-

nel. The following must be observed during installation.

The positive power connection should be made

directly to the baery and fused as close to the baery as

possible. The negative power connection should be made

to body sheet metal adjacent to the negative baery

connection. This connection should not be fused.

Antennas for two-way radios should be mounted on

the roof or the rear area of the vehicle. Care should be

used in mounting antennas with magnet bases. Magnets

may aect the accuracy or operation of the compass on

vehicles so equipped.

The antenna cable should be as short as practical and

routed away from the vehicle wiring when possible. Use

only fully shielded coaxial cable.

Carefully match the antenna and cable to the radio to

ensure a low Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

Mobile radio equipment with output power greater than

normal may require special precautions.

All installations should be checked for possible

interference between the communications equipment

and the vehicle’s electronic systems.

Operating, servicing and maintaining a

passenger vehicle or o-highway motor

vehicle can expose you to chemicals inclu-

ding engine exhaust, carbon monoxide,

phthalates, and lead, which are known to

the State of California to cause cancer and

birth defects or other reproductive harm.

To minimize exposure, avoid breathing

exhaust, do not idle the engine except as ne-

cessary, service your vehicle in a well-ven-

tilated area and wear gloves or wash

your hands frequently when servicing

your vehicle. For more information go to

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

WARNING:

VEHICLES SOLD IN CANADA

With respect to any vehicles sold in Canada, the name

FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the

name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.

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.

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

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 control. Failure to

operate this vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover of

the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided is

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

ment 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.
