and your judgment is impaired when you have been

drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler Group

LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision

workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality - all

essentials that are traditional to our vehicles.

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

perform tasks that conventional passenger cars are not

intended. It handles and maneuvers differently from

many passenger cars both on-road and off-road, so take

time to become familiar with your vehicle.

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, transmis-

sion, 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 “On-Road/Off-Road Driving Tips” in

“Starting And Operating” for further information.

4 INTRODUCTION

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 various

customer-oriented documents. Please take the time to

read these publications carefully. Following the instruc-

tions 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 convenient referenc-

ing and remain with the vehicle when sold.

When it comes to service, remember that your authorized

dealer knows your vehicle best, has factory-trained tech-

nicians 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 cars. It is capable of performing better in a wide

variety of off-road applications. Driven in an unsafe man-

ner, 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.

INTRODUCTION 5

Failure to use the driver and passenger seat belts pro-

vided 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.
