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

Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting your new

vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workman-

ship, distinctive styling, and high quality.

This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and

perform tasks that conventional passenger vehicles are not

intended. It handles and maneuvers differently from many

passenger vehicles 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 conditions 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 vehicle 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

control or a collision. Refer to the “Driving Tips” section for

further information.

This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with the assis-

tance of service and engineering specialists 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 Certificate and the details of the

terms and conditions 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 warn-

ings 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 Own-

er’s Information, that may or may not 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 produced. For this

reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model

4 INTRODUCTION

described for technical and/or commercial reasons. For

further information, contact an authorized dealer.

If applicable, refer to the owners manual supplement 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 techni-

cians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your

satisfaction.

ROLLOVER WARNING

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover 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 con-

trol. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in a

collision, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury.

Drive carefully.

Rollover Warning Label

1

INTRODUCTION 5

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts provided

is a major cause of severe or fatal 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.
