AutoStick



When using the AutoStick shift control, select

the highest gear that allows for adequate perfor

-

mance and avoid frequent downshifts. For

example, choose “5” if the desired speed can be

maintained. Choose “4” or “3” if needed to

maintain the desired speed.



To prevent excess heat generation, avoid

continuous driving at high RPM. Reduce vehicle

speed as necessary to avoid extended driving at

high RPM. Return to a higher gear or vehicle

speed when grade and road conditions allow.

RECREATIONAL TOWING (BEHIND

MOTORHOME)

Recreational towing (with all four wheels on the

ground, or using a tow dolly) is NOT ALLOWED. The

only acceptable method for towing this vehicle

(behind another vehicle) is on a vehicle trailer with

all four wheels OFF the ground.

URFACES

Information in this section will aid in safe

controlled launches in adverse conditions.

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other

slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to

pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon

occurs when there is a difference in the surface

traction under the front (driving) wheels.

Traction

When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible

for a wedge of water to build up between the tire

and road surface. This is known as hydroplaning

and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle

control and stopping ability. To reduce this

possibility, the following precautions should be

observed:



Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads

are slushy.



Slow down if the road has standing water or

puddles.



Replace tires when tread wear indicators first

become visible.



Keep tires properly inflated.



Maintain sufficient distance between your

vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a

collision in a sudden stop.

Your vehicle may be equipped with a Limited Slip

Differential (LSD) that reduces, but does not

eliminate, the amount of wheel slip across a given

axle for improved handling.

CAUTION!

Towing this vehicle in violation of the above

requirements can cause severe transmission

and/or transfer case damage. Damage from

improper towing is not covered under the New

Vehicle Limited Warranty.

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is

dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden

pulling of the front wheels. You could lose

control of the vehicle and possibly have a

collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully

whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice,

snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).

HROUGH

W

ATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to

ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Flowing/Rising Water

Shallow Standing Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following

Warnings and Cautions before doing so.

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or path where

water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm

run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road

or path's surface and cause your vehicle to sink

into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or

rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

WARNING!



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed

5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through

standing water.



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s braking capabilities, which increases

stopping distances. Therefore, after driving

through standing water, drive slowly and

lightly press on the brake pedal several times

to dry the brakes.



Failure to follow these warnings may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

CAUTION!



Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through

standing water that is deeper than the bottom

of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.



Determine the condition of the road or the

path that is under water and if there are any

obstacles in the way before driving through

the standing water.



Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize

wave effects.



Driving through standing water may cause

damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain compo

-

nents. Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids

(i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for

signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky

or foamy in appearance) after driving through

standing water. Do not continue to operate

the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated,

as this may result in further damage. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.



Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can

cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause

serious internal damage to the engine. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!

UCONNECT SYSTEMS

For detailed information about your Uconnect 4/

4C/4C NAV With 8.4-inch Display system, 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.

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:



To help further improve user experience,

features, stability, etc., and minimize the poten

-

tial 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.

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 an authorized

dealer immediately.
