DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood

alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are

drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-

drinking driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public trans-

portation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident.

Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are

slower, and your judgment is impaired when you

have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation of

features and equipment that are either standard or op-

tional on this vehicle. This manual may also include a

description of features and equipment that are no longer

available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please

disregard any features and equipment described in this

manual that are not on this vehicle.

FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in design

and specifications, and/or make additions to or improve-

ments to its products without imposing any obligation

upon itself to install them on products previously manu-

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

while 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 causeof severe orfatal

injury. In fact, the U.S. government notes that

the universal use of existing seat belts could cut

the highway death toll by 10,000 or more each

year and could reduce disabling injuries by two

million annually. In a rollover crash, an unbelted

person is significantly more likely to die than a

person wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
