INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler

Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it repre-

sents precision workmanship, distinctive styl-

ing, and high quality - all essentials that are

traditional to our vehicles.

This is a specialized utility vehicle, it can go

places and perform tasks for which conven-

tional two–wheel drive vehicles were not in-

tended. It handles and maneuvers differently

from many passenger cars both on-road and

off-road, so take time to become familiar with

your vehicle.

Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the

Owner’s Manual and all the Supplements. Be

sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,

particularly those used for braking, steering,

and transmission and transfer case shifting.

Learn how your vehicle handles on different

road surfaces. Your driving skills will improve

with experience, but as in driving any vehicle,

take it easy as you begin. When driving off-road

or working the vehicle, don’t overload it or

expect it to overcome the forces of nature.

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. Be sure to read the

“On-Road/ Off-Road Driving Tips” in “Starting

And Operating” for further information.

NOTE:

After you read the manual, it should be

stored in the vehicle for convenient refer-

encing and remain with the vehicle when

sold so that the new owner will be aware of

all safety warnings.

Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may

result in loss of control or a collision.

Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or

while intoxicated may result in loss of control,

collision with other vehicles or objects, going

off the road, or overturning; any of which may

lead to serious injury or death. Also, failure to

use seat belts subjects the driver and passen-

gers to a greater risk of injury or death.

To keep your vehicle running at its best, have

your vehicle serviced at recommended inter-

vals by an authorized dealer or distributor who

has the qualified personnel, special tools and

equipment to perform all service.

The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally

interested in your complete satisfaction with

this vehicle. If you encounter a service or

warranty problem which is not resolved to your

satisfaction, discuss the matter with your autho-

rized dealer or distributor’s management.

Your authorized dealer or distributor will be

happy to assist you with any questions about

your vehicle.

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

cars. 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

/chry_pdm/chrysler/owners/grc/og

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 is a major cause of severe or

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.

A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS

Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system.

This system consists of a Key Fob with Remote

Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and a Wireless

Ignition Node (WIN) with integral ignition

switch. You can insert the Key Fob into the

ignition switch with either side up.

Keyless Enter-N-Go Feature

This vehicle is equipped with the Keyless Enter-

N-Go feature, refer to “Starting Procedures” in

“Starting And Operating” for further informa-

tion.

Wireless Ignition Node (WIN)

The Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) operates

similar to an ignition switch. It has four operat-

ing positions, three of which are detented and

one spring-loaded. The detented positions are

LOCK, ACC, and ON/RUN. The START position

is a spring-loaded momentary contact position.

When released from the START position, the

switch automatically returns to the detented

ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the

Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)

will display the ignition switch position

(OFF/ACC/RUN). Refer to “Electronic Ve-

hicle Information Center (EVIC)” in “Under-

standing Your Instrument Panel” for further

information.

Key Fob

The Key Fob operates the ignition switch. It

also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)

transmitter and an emergency key, which

stores in the rear of the Key Fob.

The emergency key allows for entry into the

vehicle on the driver’s side should the battery in

the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead. The

emergency key is also for locking the glove

box. You can keep the emergency key with you

when valet parking.

NOTE:

Entering a vehicle using the emergency key

with the theft alarm armed, will result in the

alarm sounding. Insert the Key Fob (even if

the Key Fob battery is dead) into the ignition

switch to disarm theft alarm.

To remove the emergency key, slide the me-

chanical latch at the top of the Key Fob side-

ways with your thumb and then pull the key out

with your other hand.

/chry_pdm/chrysler/owners/grc/og

NOTE:

You can insert the double-sided emergency

key into the lock cylinders with either side

up.

Removing Key Fob From Ignition

Place the shift lever in PARK. Turn the Key Fob

to the OFF position and then remove the Key

Fob.

With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, the EVIC

will display the ignition switch position “OFF/

ACC/RUN”. Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Infor-

mation Center (EVIC)” in “Understanding Your

Instrument Panel” for further information.

NOTE:

• If you try to remove the Key Fob before

you place the shift lever in PARK, it may

become trapped temporarily in the igni-

tion switch. If this occurs, rotate the key

to the right slightly, then remove the Key

Fob as described. If a malfunction occurs,

the system may trap the key in the igni-

tion switch to warn you that this safety

feature is inoperable. The engine can be

started and stopped, but the Key Fob

cannot be removed until you obtain ser-

vice.

• The power window switches, radio, power

sunroof (if equipped), and power outlets

will remain active for up to 10 minutes

after the ignition switch is turned to the

LOCK position. Opening either front door

will cancel this feature. The time for this

feature is programmable. Refer to “Elec-

tronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC)/

Personal Settings (Customer-

Programmable Features)” in

“Understanding Your Instrument Panel”

for further information.

WARNING!

• Never leave children alone in a vehicle.

Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is

dangerous for a number of reasons.Achild

or others could be seriously or fatally in-

jured. Do not leave the Key Fob in the

ignition or Keyless Enter-N-Go in the ACC

or ON/RUN mode. A child could operate

power windows, other controls, or move the

vehicle.

• Do not leave children or animals inside

parked vehicles in hot weather. Interior

heat build-up may cause serious injury or

death.

CAUTION!

An unlocked car is an invitation to thieves.

Always remove Key Fob from the ignition and

lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat-

tended.

/chry_pdm/chrysler/owners/grc/og

Key-In-Ignition Reminder

Opening the driver’s door when the Key Fob is

in the ignition and the ignition switch position is

OFF or ACC, sounds a signal to remind you to

remove the Key Fob.

NOTE:

The Key-In-Ignition reminder only sounds

when the Key Fob is placed in the OFF or

ACC ignition position.

With the Keyless Enter-N-Go feature, opening

the driver’s door when the vehicle’s ignition

switch is placed in ACC or ON/RUN (engine

stopped) will cause the reminder chime to

sound. Refer to “Starting Procedures” in “Start-

ing And Operating” for further information.

SENTRY KEYT

The Sentry KeyT Immobilizer system prevents

unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling

the engine. The system does not need to be

armed or activated. Operation is automatic,

regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or

unlocked.

The system uses the factory-mated Key Fob

with Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter

and Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) to prevent

unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore, only

Key Fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

can be used to start and operate the vehicle.

The system will shut the engine off in two

seconds if an invalid Key Fob is used to start

the engine.

After turning the ignition switch to the ON/RUN

position, the Vehicle Security Light will turn on

for three seconds for a bulb check. If the light

remains on after the bulb check, it indicates

that there is a problem with the electronics. In

addition, if the light begins to flash after the

bulb check, it indicates that someone used an

invalid Key Fob to start the engine. Either of

these conditions will result in the engine being

shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security Light turns on during

normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for

longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there

is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur,

have the vehicle serviced as soon as possible

by an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!

The Sentry KeyT Immobilizer system is not

compatible with some after-market remote

starting systems. Use of these systems may

result in vehicle starting problems and loss of

security protection.

All of the Key Fobs provided with your new

vehicle have been programmed to the vehicle

electronics.

Replacement Keys

NOTE:

Only Key Fobs that are programmed to the

vehicle electronics can be used to start and

operate the vehicle. Once a Key Fob is

programmed to a vehicle, it cannot be pro-

grammed to any other vehicle.

CAUTION!

• Always remove the Key Fobs from the

vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the

vehicle unattended.

CAUTION!

(Continued)

• With Keyless Enter-N-Go, always remem-

ber to place the ignition in OFF.

At the time of purchase, the original owner is

provided with a four-digit Personal Identifica-

tion Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure

location. This number is required for authorized

dealer replacement of Key Fobs. Duplication of

Key Fobs may be performed at an authorized

dealer.

NOTE:

When having the Sentry KeyT Immobilizer

system serviced, bring all vehicle ignition

keys with you to an authorized dealer.

Customer Key Programming

Programming Key Fobs or RKE transmitters

may be performed at an authorized dealer.

VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM — IF

EQUIPPED

The Vehicle Security Alarm monitors the hood,

liftgate, liftgate flipper glass, vehicle doors for

unauthorized entry, and the ignition switch for

unauthorized operation. If something triggers

the alarm, the Vehicle Security Alarm will pre-

vent the vehicle from starting and provide the

following audio and visual signals: the horn will
