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

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

Rollover Warning Label

4

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.
