JUMP STARTING

If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can be jump started using a set of jumper cables and a battery in another vehicle, or by using a portable battery booster pack. Jump starting can be dangerous if done improperly, so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.

WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is frozen. It could rupture or explode and cause personal injury.

CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any other booster source with a system voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor, alternator or electrical system may occur.

NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack, follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and precautions.

PREPARATIONS FOR JUMP START
The battery is stored under an access cover in the trunk. Remote battery posts are located on the right side of the engine compartment for jump starting.

Remote Jump Starting Post Locations

Remote Positive (+) Post (Covered With Protective Cap)
Remote Negative (-) Post (Covered With Protective Cap)

NOTE:
Be sure that the disconnected cable ends do not touch each other, or either vehicle, before properly connected for jump starting.
See below steps to prepare for jump starting:

Apply the parking brake, shift the automatic transmission into PARK (P) and turn the ignition OFF.
Turn off the heater, radio, and all electrical accessories.
Remove the protective cover over the remote positive (+) battery post. Pull upward on the cover to remove it.
Remove the protective cover over the remote negative (-) battery post.
If using another vehicle to jump start the battery, park the vehicle within the jumper cable’s reach, apply the parking brake and make sure the ignition is OFF.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a ground connection and personal injury could result.
Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It can start anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be injured by moving fan blades.
Remove any metal jewelry such as rings, watch bands and bracelets that could make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be seriously injured.
Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open flames or sparks away from the battery.

JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE
WARNING!
Failure to follow this jump starting procedure could result in personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!
Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the charging system of the booster vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

NOTE:
Make sure at all times that unused ends of jumper cables are not contacting each other or either vehicle while making connections.

Connecting The Jumper Cables

Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable to the remote positive (+) post of the discharged vehicle.
Connect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
Connect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable to the remote negative (-) post (exposed metallic/unpainted post of the discharge vehicle) located on the right hand side next to the underhold fuse box.
WARNING!
Do not connect the jumper cable to the negative (-) post of the discharged battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode and could result in personal injury.
Start the engine in the vehicle that has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, and then start the engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.
CAUTION!
Do not run the booster vehicle engine above 2,000 RPM since it provides no charging benefit, wastes fuel, and can damage booster vehicle engine.
Once the engine is started, follow the disconnecting procedure below.

Disconnecting The Jumper Cables

Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper cable from the remote negative (-) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-) jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the booster battery.
Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the booster battery.
Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+) jumper cable from the remote positive (+) post of the vehicle with the discharged battery, and reinstall the protective cap.

If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle you should have the battery and charging system inspected at an authorized dealer.

CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged in long enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life and/or prevent the engine from starting.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED
The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel for a Cap-Less Fuel System. The fuel funnel can be found in the rear cargo area with the jack and tools. If refueling is necessary, while using an approved gas can, insert the refueling funnel into the filler neck opening. Take care to open both flappers with the funnel to avoid spills.

WARNING!

Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the fuel door is open or the tank is being filled.
Never add fuel when the engine is running. This is in violation of most state and federal fire regulations and may cause the Malfunc-tion Indicator Light to turn on.
A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling.

NOTE:
In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on the fuel door to break the ice buildup and
re-release the fuel door using the inside release button. Do not pry on the door.

Refueling Funnel

Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling with a gas can.
See below steps for refueling:

Retrieve funnel from the rear cargo storage area.
Refueling Funnel Location
Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.

Inserting Funnel
Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper doors open.
Pour fuel into funnel opening.
CAUTION!
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling.
Remove funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the spare tire storage area.

IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS

If the vehicle is overheating, it will need to be serviced by an authorized dealer.
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.

On the highways — slow down.
In city traffic — while stopped, place the trans-mission in NEUTRAL (N), but do not increase the engine idle speed while preventing vehicle motion with the brakes.

NOTE:
There are steps that you can take to slow down an impending overheat condition:

If your Air Conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C system adds heat to the engine cooling system and turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
You can also turn the temperature control to maximum heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control to high. This allows the heater core to act as a supplement to the radiator and aids in removing heat from the engine cooling system.

WARNING!
You or others can be badly burned by hot engine coolant (antifreeze) or steam from your radiator. If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator or coolant bottle is hot.

CAUTION!
Driving with a hot cooling system could damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge reads HOT (H), pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on HOT (H), and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately and call for service.

MANUAL PARK RELEASE — 8–SPEED TRANSMISSION

WARNING!
Always secure your vehicle by fully applying the parking brake before activating the Manual Park Release. In addition, you should be seated in the driver’s seat with your foot firmly on the brake pedal when activating the Manual Park Release. Activating the Manual Park Release will allow your vehicle to roll away if it is not secured by the parking brake, or by proper connection to a tow vehicle. Activating the Manual Park Release on an unsecured vehicle could lead to serious injury or death for those in or around the vehicle.

In order to move the vehicle in cases where the transmission will not shift out of PARK (P) (such as a depleted battery), a Manual Park Release is available.
Follow these steps to use the Manual Park Release:

Firmly apply the parking brake.
Open the center console and locate the Manual Park Release cover, remove it by snapping the cover away from the console hinges.
Manual Park Release Cover
NOTE:
Depending on your vehicle’s trim level, the Manual Park Release cable may be located in a different area on the center console.
Press and maintain firm pressure on the brake pedal.
Using a screwdriver or similar tool, push the metal latch in towards the tether strap.
Release Latch
While the metal latch is in the open position, pull upward on the tether strap until the lever clicks and latches in the released position. The transmission is now out of PARK (P) and the vehicle can be moved.

Released Position

CAUTION!
Closing the armrest while the Manual Park Release is activated may damage the Manual Park Release mechanism, the transmission, and/or the armrest.

NOTE:
To prevent the vehicle from rolling unintentionally, firmly apply the parking brake.
To Disengage The Manual Park Release Lever:

Release Latch

Once the tension has been released and the lever has been unlocked, be sure it is stowed properly and locks into position.

Stowed Position

NOTE:
Be sure to replace the cover by snapping it back in place.

FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE

If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand, or snow, it can often be moved using a rocking motion. Turn the steering wheel right and left to clear the area around the front wheels. For vehicles with automatic transmission, push and hold the lock button on the gear selector. Then shift back and forth between DRIVE and REVERSE (with automatic transmission) or FIRST gear and REVERSE (with manual transmission), while gently pressing the accelerator. Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

NOTE:
Shifts between DRIVE (D) and REVERSE (R) can only be achieved at wheel speeds of 5 mph (8 km/h) or less. Whenever the transmission remains in NEUTRAL (N) for more than two seconds, you must press the brake pedal to engage DRIVE (D) or REVERSE (R).
Use the least amount of accelerator pedal pressure that will maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine.

NOTE:
Push the ESC OFF button to place the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system in “Partial OFF” mode, before rocking the vehicle Ú page 189. Once the vehicle has been freed, push the ESC OFF button again to restore ESC On mode.

WARNING!
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive wheel speeds may cause damage, or even failure, of the axle and tires. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or for longer than 30 seconds continuously without stopping when you are stuck and do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no matter what the speed.

CAUTION!

Racing the engine or spinning the wheels may lead to transmission overheating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the transmission in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and reduce the risk of transmis-sion failure during prolonged efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
When “rocking” a stuck vehicle by shifting between DRIVE / FIRST gear and REVERSE, do not spin the wheels faster than 15 mph (24 km/h), or drivetrain damage may result.
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission shifting occur-ring).

TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE

This section describes procedures for towing a disabled vehicle using a commercial towing service.
If the transmission and drivetrain are operable, disabled 4×4 vehicles may also be towed as described under page 147.

Towing Condition	Wheels OFF The Ground	Rear-Wheel Drive Models	All-Wheel Drive Models With Single-Speed Transfer Case	All-Wheel Drive Models With Two-Speed Transfer Case
Flat Tow	NONE	NOT ALLOWED	NOT ALLOWED	Detailed Instructions page 147 l Transmission in PARK l Transfer case in NEUTRAL (N) l Tow in forward direction
Wheel Lift Or Dolly Tow	Front	NOT ALLOWED	NOT ALLOWED	NOT ALLOWED
Wheel Lift Or Dolly Tow	Rear	OK	NOT ALLOWED	NOT ALLOWED
Flatbed	ALL	BEST METHOD	OK	BEST METHOD
NOTE: When towing your vehicle, always follow applicable state and provincial laws. Contact state and provincial Highway Safety offices for additional details.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or other towing device to main structural members of the vehicle, not to fascia/bumpers or associated brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be observed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the ignition must be in the ON/RUN mode, not the ACC mode. If the key fob is unavailable or the vehicle’s battery is discharged, find Instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK page 251.

CAUTION!

Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not attach to front or rear suspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper towing.
FCA US LLC does not recommend towing this vehicle using a tow dolly. Vehicle damage may occur.

REAR-WHEEL DRIVE (RWD) MODELS
FCA US LLC recommends towing your vehicle with all four wheels OFF the ground using a flatbed.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transmission is operable, the vehicle may be flat towed (with all four wheels on the ground) under the following conditions:

The transmission must be in NEUTRAL (N). Instructions on shifting the transmission to NEUTRAL (N) when the engine is off page 251.
The towing distance must not exceed 30 miles (48 km).
The towing speed must not exceed 30 mph (48 km/h).

CAUTION!
Towing faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km) with rear wheels on the ground can cause severe transmission damage. Damage from improper towing is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

If the transmission is not operable, or the vehicle must be towed faster than 30 mph (48 km/h) or farther than 30 miles (48 km), tow with the rear wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed, or with the front wheels raised and the rear wheels on a towing dolly, or (when using a suitable steering wheel stabilizer to hold the front wheels in the straight position) with the rear wheels raised and the front wheels ON the ground.

ALL WHEEL DRIVE MODELS
FCA US LLC recommends towing with all wheels OFF the ground. Acceptable methods are to tow the vehicle on a flatbed or with one end of the vehicle raised and the opposite end on a towing dolly.
If flatbed equipment is not available, and the transfer case is operable, vehicles with a two-speed transfer case may be towed (in the forward direction, with ALL wheels on the ground), IF the transfer case is in NEUTRAL (N) and the transmission is in PARK page 147.
Vehicles equipped with a single-speed transfer case have no NEUTRAL (N) position, and therefore must be towed will all four wheels OFF the ground.

CAUTION!
Front or rear wheel lifts must not be used (if the remaining wheels are on the ground). Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when towing.
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.
