common questions.

WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor vehicle can expose you to

chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and lead, which are known to the State of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the

engine except as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently

when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunk 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 rideshare, a friend, or use public

transportation.

WARNING

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes are slower and your judgment is impaired when you have

been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident

and/or personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take their attention

off the road. Use of any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation, or other devices, by the driver while

the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle

is moving. If you nd yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states

or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.

STEALTH MODE — IF EQUIPPED

Pursuit model vehicles are designed for periods

of surveillance. When the instrument panel

dimmer control, located on the left side of the

instrument panel, is rotated downward to the

O (off) position, Stealth Mode is enabled. All

interior illumination, except for the instrument

cluster display, backlighting for the door

switches, and the vehicle’s critical warning

indicators, will be deactivated. The instrument

cluster display and the warning indicator lights

will dim to the lowest legal limit.

Instrument Panel Dimmer Switch

The courtesy (interior) lights are disabled when

opening a door, and will operate only by rotating

the dimmer switch fully upward, past the

detent, or by pushing each map light

individually.

NOTE:

When the vehicle is shifted into REVERSE,

Stealth Mode will be exited, in order to display

the rear view camera image. When the vehicle

is shifted out of REVERSE, the vehicle will

re-enter Stealth Mode, as long as the dimmer

control has not been adjusted.

LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

The automatic Load Leveling system will adjust

the vehicle under most passenger and cargo

loading conditions, providing a level riding

experience.

A hydraulic pump contained within the shock

absorbers raises the rear of the vehicle to

the correct height. It takes approximately

1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling to

complete, depending on road surface

conditions.

If the leveled vehicle is not moved for

approximately 15 hours, the Load Leveling

system will bleed itself down. The vehicle must

be driven to reset the system.
