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.

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.
