INTRODUCTION

Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting

your new vehicle. 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 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. If equipped,

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. 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 ve-

hicle 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 controlor a collision. Refer tothe “Driving

Tips” section for further information.

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 customer oriented

documents. In the attached Warranty Booklet

you will find a description of the services that

FCA offers to its customers, the Warranty Cer-

tificate and the details of the terms and condi-

tions for maintaining its validity. Please take the

time to read all of these publications carefully

before driving your vehicle for the first time.

Following the instructions, recommendations,

tips, and important warnings in this manual will

help assure safe and enjoyable operation of

your vehicle.

This Owner’s Manual describes all versions of

this vehicle. Options and equipment dedicated

to specific markets or versions are not expressly

indicated in the text. Therefore, you should only

consider the information which is related to the

trim level, engine, and version that you have

purchased. Any content introduced throughout

the Owner’s Information, that may or maynot be

applicable to your vehicle, will be identified with

the wording “If Equipped”. All data contained in

this publication are intended to help you use

your vehicle in the best possible way. FCA aims

at a constant improvement of the vehicles pro-

duced. For this reason, it reserves the right to

make changes to the model described for tech-

nical and/or commercial reasons. For further

information, contact an authorized dealer.

If applicable, refer to the owners manual supple-

ment for related information.

NOTE:

After reviewing the Owner’s 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 vehicle best, has

factory-trained technicians and genuine

MOPAR® parts, and cares about your satisfac-

tion.

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.

4

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.
