INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US
LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents pre-
cision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high
quality.
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 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 conve-
nient referencing and remain with the ve-
hicle when sold.
When it comes to service, remember that your
authorized dealer knows your Jeep® vehicle
best, has factory-trained technicians and genu-
ine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your sat-
isfaction.
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

CATION IS BASED ON THE LATEST INFOR-
MATION AVAILABLE AT TIME OF PUBLICA-
TION APPROVAL. THE RIGHT IS RESERVED

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.

should be stored in the vehicle for convenient
reference and remain with the vehicle when

Rollover Warning Label

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.
The key fob also includes an emergency key,
which stores in the rear of the key fob.
The emergency key allows for entry into the
vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the
key fob go dead. The emergency key is also for
locking the glove compartment. You can keep
the emergency key with you when valet parking.
To remove the emergency key, slide the me-
chanical latch at the top of the key fob sideways
with your thumb and then pull the key out with
your other hand.
NOTE:
You can insert the double-sided emergency key
into the lock cylinders with either side up.
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.
The turn signal lights will flash to acknowledge
the unlock signal. The illuminated entry system
will be activated.
