STARTING AND OPERATING

Flowing Water
If the water is swift flowing and rising (as in storm

run-off), avoid crossing until the water level

recedes and/or the flow rate is reduced. If you

must cross flowing water avoid depths in excess of

9 inches (23 cm). The flowing water can erode the

streambed, causing your vehicle to sink into

deeper water. Determine exit point(s) that are

downstream of your entry point to allow for drifting.
Standing Water
Avoid driving in standing water deeper than

20 inches (51 cm), and reduce speed

appropriately to minimize wave effects. Maximum

speed in 20 inches (51 cm) of water is less than

5 mph (8 km/h).
Maintenance
After driving through deep water, inspect your

vehicle fluids and lubricants (engine oil,

transmission oil, axle, transfer case) to ensure the

fluids have not been contaminated. Contaminated

fluid (milky, foamy in appearance) should be

flushed/changed as soon as possible to prevent

component damage.

Driving In Snow, Mud And Sand

In heavy snow, when pulling a load, or for

additional control at slower speeds, shift the

transmission to a low gear and shift the transfer

case to AWD Low if necessary

Ú

page 109. Only

shift into a lower gear to maintain forward motion.

Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and

traction will be lost.
Avoid abrupt downshifts on icy or slippery roads,

because engine braking may cause skidding and

loss of control.

Hill Climbing

NOTE:

Before attempting to climb a hill, determine the

conditions at the crest and/or on the other side.
Before climbing a steep hill, shift the transmission

to a lower gear and shift the transfer case to AWD

Low. Use FIRST gear and AWD Low for very steep

hills.
If you stall or begin to lose forward motion while

climbing a steep hill, allow your vehicle to come to

a stop and immediately apply the brakes. Restart

the engine, and shift into REVERSE. Back slowly

down the hill, allowing the compression braking of

the engine to help regulate the speed. If the brakes

are required to control vehicle speed, apply them

lightly and avoid locking or skidding the tires.

Remember, never drive diagonally across a hill;

always drive straight up or down.
If the wheels start to slip as you approach the crest

of a hill, ease off the accelerator and maintain

forward motion by turning the front wheels slowly.

This may provide a fresh “bite” into the surface and

will usually provide traction to complete the climb.

Traction Downhill

Shift the transmission into a low gear, and the

transfer case into AWD Low. Let the vehicle go

slowly down the hill with all four wheels turning

against engine compression drag. This will permit

you to control the vehicle speed and direction.
When descending mountains or hills, repeated

braking can cause brake fade with loss of braking

control. Avoid repeated heavy braking by

downshifting the transmission whenever possible.

WARNING!

If the engine stalls, you lose forward motion, or

cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade,

never attempt to turn around. To do so may

result in tipping and rolling the vehicle. Always

back carefully straight down a hill in REVERSE

gear. Never back down a hill in NEUTRAL using

only the brake.

STARTING AND OPERATING

After Driving Off-Road

Off-road operation puts more stress on your

vehicle than does most on-road driving. After going

off-road, it is always a good idea to check for

damage. That way you can get any problems taken

care of right away and have your vehicle ready

when you need it.



Completely inspect the underbody of your

vehicle. Check tires, body structure, steering,

suspension, and exhaust system for damage.



Inspect the radiator for mud and debris and

clean as required.



Check threaded fasteners for looseness, partic

-

ularly on the chassis, drivetrain components,

steering, and suspension. Retighten them, if

required, and torque to the values specified in

the Service Manual.



Check for accumulations of plants or brush.

These things could be a fire hazard. They might

hide damage to fuel lines, brake hoses, axle

pinion seals, and propeller shafts.



After extended operation in mud, sand, water, or

similar dirty conditions, have the radiator, fan,

brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle

yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as

possible.



If you experience unusual vibration after driving

in mud, slush or similar conditions, check the

wheels for impacted material. Impacted mate

-

rial can cause a wheel imbalance and freeing

the wheels of it will correct the situation.

WARNING!

Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may

cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.

You might not have full braking power when you

need it to prevent a collision. If you have been

operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get

your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary.

UCONNECT SYSTEMS

For detailed information about your Uconnect 4

With 8.4-inch Display or Uconnect 5 NAV With

10.1-inch Display systems, refer to your Uconnect

Owner’s Manual Supplement.
NOTE:

Uconnect screen images are for illustration

purposes only and may not reflect exact software

for your vehicle.

CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may

be equipped with both wired and wireless

networks. These networks allow your vehicle to

send and receive information. This information

allows systems and features in your vehicle to

function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security

features to reduce the risk of unauthorized and

unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless

communications. Vehicle software technology

continues to evolve over time and FCA US LLC,

working with its suppliers, evaluates and takes

appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a

computer or other devices, your vehicle may

require software updates to improve the usability

and performance of your systems or to reduce the

potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access

to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to

your vehicle systems may still exist, even if the

most recent version of vehicle software (such as

Uconnect software) is installed.

NOTE:



FCA US LLC or your dealer may contact you

directly regarding software updates.



To help further improve vehicle security and

minimize the potential risk of a security breach,

vehicle owners should:



Routinely check

www.driveuconnect.com

(US Residents) or

www.driveuconnect.ca

(Canadian Residents) to learn about avail

-

able Uconnect software updates.



Only connect and use trusted media

devices (e.g. personal mobile phones,

USBs, CDs).

UCONNECT SETTINGS

The Uconnect system uses a combination of

buttons on the touchscreen and buttons on the

faceplate located on the center of the instrument

panel. These buttons allow you to access and

change the customer programmable features.

Many features can vary by vehicle.
Buttons on the faceplate are located below and/or

beside the Uconnect system in the center of the

instrument panel. In addition, there is a SCROLL/

ENTER control knob located on the right side. Turn

the control knob to scroll through menus and

change settings. Push the center of the control

knob one or more times to select or change a

setting.
Your Uconnect system may also have SCREEN OFF

and MUTE buttons on the faceplate.

WARNING!



ONLY insert trusted devices/components into

your vehicle. Media of unknown origin could

possibly contain malicious software, and if

installed in your vehicle, it may increase the

possibility for vehicle systems to be breached.



As always, if you experience unusual vehicle

behavior, take your vehicle to your nearest

authorized dealer immediately.
