Window Bar Grates — If Equipped

This vehicle may be equipped with metal grates over the
side door windows. This feature is a part of the vehicle’s
safety system, and is designed to protect you and your
passengers in the event of an accident.

WARNING!

The metal grates over the sliding door windows are
designed to protect you in the event of an accident.
Modification or removal of the grates could lead to
serious injury or death.

Wind Buffeting

Wind buffeting can be described as the perception of
pressure on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears.
Your vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows
down in certain open or partially open positions. This is a
normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buffeting
occurs open the front windows together to minimize the
buffeting.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

• To help protect against personal injury, passengers

should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The rear
cargo space is intended for load carrying purposes
only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and
use seat belts.

• Cargo tie-down hooks are not safe anchors for a child

seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a hook
could pull loose and allow the child seat to come
loose. A child could be badly injured. Use only the
anchors provided for child seat tethers.

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:
• Do not carry loads which exceed the load limits

described on the label attached to the left door or left
door center pillar.

(Continued)

WARNING! (Continued)

• Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put

heavier objects as low and as far forward as possible.

• Place as much cargo as possible in front of the rear

axle. Too much weight or improperly placed weight
over or behind the rear axle can cause the rear of the
vehicle to sway.

• Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of

the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or accident.

WARNING! (Continued)

• Close the lid when not in use and while driving the

vehicle.

• If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an electric

shock and failure.

CAUTION!

• Many accessories that can be plugged in draw power

from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e.,
cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long
enough, the vehicle’s battery will discharge suffi-
ciently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the
engine from starting.

• Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,

vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the battery
even more quickly. Only use these intermittently and
with greater caution.

• After the use of high power draw accessories, or long

periods of the vehicle not being started (with acces-
sories still plugged in), the vehicle must be driven a
sufficient length of time to allow the generator to
recharge the vehicle’s battery.

ROOF RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry the
weight on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load
must not exceed 150 lbs (68 kg), and should be uniformly
distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.

NOTE:

If not equipped with crossbars, your authorized

dealer can order and install Mopar crossbars built specifi-
cally for this roof rack system.

Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack crossbars.
The roof rack does not increase the total load carrying
capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of cargo inside
the vehicle plus that on the external rack does not exceed
the maximum vehicle load capacity.

To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments, located at
the upper edge of each crossbar, approximately eight turns
using the anti-theft wrench provided with the Mopar
crossbars. Then, move the crossbar to the desired position,
keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame. Once the
crossbar is in the desired position, retighten the with the
wrench to lock the crossbar into position.

66

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

NOTE:
• To help control wind noise when the crossbars are not in

use, place the front and rear crossbars approximately 24
inches (61 cm) apart. Optimal noise reduction can then
be achieved by adjusting the front crossbar forward or
aft using increments of 1 inch (2.5 cm).

• If (or any metallic object) is placed over the satellite

radio antenna (if equipped), you may experience inter-
ruption of satellite radio reception. For improved satel-
lite radio reception, avoid placing the rear crossbar over
the satellite radio antenna.

WARNING!

Cargo must be securely tied down before driving your
vehicle. Improperly secured loads can fly off the ve-
hicle, particularly at high speeds, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack cau-
tions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

CAUTION!

• To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, DO

NOT carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars deployed. The load should be secured and
placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on the
roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the roof,
place a blanket or other protective layer between the
load and the roof surface.

• To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do not

exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of 150 lb
(68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as evenly as
possible and secure the load appropriately.

• Load should always be secured to cross bars first,

with tie down loops used as additional securing
points if needed. Tie loops are intended as supple-
mentary tie down points only. Do not use ratcheting
mechanisms with the tie loops. Check the straps and
thumb wheels frequently to be sure that the load
remains securely attached.

• Long loads that extend over the windshield, such as

wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front and
rear of the vehicle.

67

CAUTION! (Continued)

• Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners carefully

when carrying large or heavy loads on the roof rack.
Wind forces, due to natural causes or nearby truck
traffic, can add sudden upward lift to a load. This is
especially true on large flat loads and may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.
