INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US
LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents pre-
cision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high
quality.
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 local laws wherever you drive.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to
operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss
of control or a collision. Refer to “Driving Tips” in
“Starting And Operating” 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 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.

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

this Owner’s Manual will help assure safe and

After you have read the Owner’s Manual, it
should be stored in the vehicle for convenient

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 at-
taching 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.
Original MOPAR® parts and accessories and
other products approved by the manufacturer,
including qualified advice, are available at your
authorized dealer.
