exit alarming mode, press the RKE transmitter UNLOCK button or start the vehicle with a programmed Sentry Key t . The V ehicle Security Alarm system is designed to pr otect your vehicle; however , you can create conditions wher e the system will arm unexpectedly .
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors or activate the Panic Alarm from distances up to a maxi- mum of 66 ft (20 m) using a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter . The RKE transmitter does not need to be pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
T o Unlock The Doors: Press and r elease the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter once to unlock only the driver’s door , or twice to unlock all the doors. When the unlock button is pressed, the illuminated entry will initiate, and the parking lights will flash twice.
Horn Chirp Programming The horn chirp feature is shipped fr om the assembly plant activated. If desired, this featur e can be disabled by using the following procedur e: 1. Pr ess and hold the LOCK button on the RKE trans- mitter . 2. After holding the LOCK button for four seconds, also press the P ANIC button within six seconds.
4. T est the Flash Lamps W ith Lock feature while outside of the vehicle by pressing the LOCK button on the RKE transmitter with the ignition in the OFF position and the key removed.

6. After holding the UNLOCK button for four seconds, also press the P ANIC button within six seconds. 7. When a single chime is hear d, release both buttons. The chime is an indication that you have successfully entered pr ogram mode. All RKE transmitters that are to be programmed must be done so within 60 seconds of when the chime was heard.
2. Remove and r eplace the battery . When replacing the battery , match the + sign on battery to the + sign on the inside of the battery clip, located on the back cover . A void touching the new battery with your fingers. Skin oils may cause battery deterioration.
Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run for 15 minutes. T o cancel remote start, pr ess the REMOTE ST AR T button once. The parking lights will remain illuminated to indicate that the vehicle has remote started and the engine is running. The lights will turn of f when the ignition is turned to RUN or the remote start is cancelled.

W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
windows down or partially open. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized. If the buf feting occurs with the rear windows open, open the fr ont and rear windows together to minimize the buffeting. OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and that they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown fr om the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly .
W ARNING! (Continued) • A belt that is worn under your arm is very danger - ous. Y our body could strike the inside surfaces of the vehicle in a collision, increasing head and neck injury and a belt worn under the arm can cause internal injuries. Ribs aren’t as strong as shoulder bones.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as possible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front and second r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck. Push in on the anchorage release button to r elease the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
The adjuster has an easy up (EZ Up) feature, which will allow it to be moved up without engaging the button. Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) Mode – If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to r emove any slack in the shoulder belt.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for front outboar d seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that ar e designed to remove any slack fr om the seat belt system in the event of a collision. These devices improve the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position. Chrylser LLC does not recommend deactivating BeltAlert t . 1. T urn the ignition switch to the OFF position and buckle the driver’s seat belt.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use the seat belt extender when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size. This vehicle may also be equipped with window bags to protect the driver , and front and r ear passengers sitting next to a window .
W ARNING! (Continued) • If your vehicle is equipped with window bags, do not have any accessory items installed that will alter the roof, including adding a sunroof to your vehicle. Do not add roof racks that require perma- nent attachments (bolts or screws) for installation on the vehicle roof.
If a child between the ages of 1 and 12 years old, must ride in the front passenger seat because the vehicle is crowded, move the seat as far back as possible, and use the proper child r estraint.
W ARNING! (Continued) • If the vehicle has window bags, they also need room to inflate. Do not lean against the door or window . Sit upright in the center of the seat.
position, in the ACC position, or not in the ignition, the airbags are not on and will not inflate. During a moderate-to-severe r ear impact, the ORC may only deploy the seat belt pretensioners.
may be possible based on collision severity and occu- pant size. The steering wheel hub trim cover and the upper right side of the instrument panel separate and fold out of the way as the bags inflate to their full size. The bags fully inflate in about 50 - 70 milliseconds.
If a Deployment Occurs The airbag system is designed to deploy the airbags when the impact sensors detect a moderate-to-severe frontal collision, to help r estrain the driver and front passenger , and then immediately deflate. NOTE: A frontal collision that is not sever e enough to need airbag protection will not activate the system.
W ARNING! Deployed airbags and seat belt pretensioners cannot protect you in another collision. Have the airbags, and both front seat belt retractor assemblies (w/ pretensioners), replaced by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
W ARNING! (Continued) • It is dangerous to try to repair any part of the airbag system yourself. Be sure to tell anyone who works on your vehicle that it has an airbag system. NOTE: Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply . See www .dtsc.
check the fuse block for blown fuses. Refer to the label located on the inside of the fuse block cover for the proper airbag fuses. See your authorized dealer if the fuse is good.

restraint anchorage system. (Refer to “LA TCH - Child Seat Anchorage System” in this section.) • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag that does not have a switch to turn the airbag Off.
• Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. • If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. Never allow a child to put the shoulder belt under an arm.
• Carefully follow the instr uctions that come with the restraint. If you install the r estraint improperly , it may not work when you need it. • The Extended Cab first, and Club/Crew Cab second row outside seating positions, have cinching latch plates.
connection to the top tether anchorages have been avail- able for some time. For some older child restraints, many child restraint manufactur ers offer add-on tether strap kits or retr o-fit kits. Y ou are ur ged to take advantage of all the available attachments provided with your child r e- straint in any vehicle.

reach. If the buckled seat belt interfer es with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.
locking retractor seat belts, r efer to 9 Automatic Locking Mode 9 in this section. If you have trouble tightening the lap/shoulder belt on the child restraint because, the buckle or latch plate is too close to the belt path opening on the restraint, follow these steps.
W ARNING! • W ith a child restraint installed in the rear passen- ger side locations, use care when adjusting the front seat(s) rearward, to avoid the front seatback coming in contact with the belted child directly behind the seat. The child could be injured.
T ether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Extended Cab) 1. Route the child r estraint tether strap through the routing loop, located dir ectly behind the child restraint. The routing loops ar e located behind the flip-down door on the cab back panel (padded bolster).
T ether Straps at the Rear Passenger Seat (Crew Cab) 1. Route the child r estraint tether strap under the head restraint for the outboar d seating positions, and then through the anchor strap outer loop (webbing material loop), located directly behind the child r estraint.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. W ARNING! Do not leave children or animals inside parked vehicles in hot weather . Interior heat buildup may cause serious injury or death.
Normal Starting NOTE: Normal starting of either a warm or cold engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelera- tor pedal. T urn the ignition switch to the ST AR T position and release when the engine starts.
If the engine fails to start after you have followed the normal starting procedur e, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel, in case the engine is flooded.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-1 15 V olt electrical cord could cause electrocution. MANUAL TRANSMISSION W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied.
Shifting Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal. Y ou should always use 1st gear when starting from a standing position.
Downshifting Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is recommended to pr eserve brakes when driving down steep hills. In addition, downshifting at the right time provides better acceleration when you desir e to resume speed. Downshift progr essively .

Depress the clutch and pause briefly to allow the gear train to stop rotating.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal. W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the shift lever into the P ARK position. W ARNING! • Never use P ARK position on an automatic trans- mission as a substitute for the parking brake.
1 (First) For driving up very steep hills and for engine braking at low speeds, 25 mph (40 km/h) or less, when going down hill, use 1st gear . T o prevent excessive engine speed do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h) in this range.
If the transmission temperature gets extr emely hot, the transmission will automatically select the most desirable gear for operation at this temperature. If the transmission temperature becomes hot enough, the “T rans T emp” light may illuminate and the transmission may downshift out of Overdrive until the transmission cools down.
operating in TOW/HAUL mode, 5th gear (if equipped) is disabled and 2-3 and 3-4 shift patterns are modified. Shifts into Overdrive (4th gear) ar e allowed during steady cruise (for impr oved fuel economy), and auto- matic closed-throttle downshifts to 3r d gear (for im- proved braking) will occur during steady braking.

T ransfer Case Position Indicator Lights T ransfer case position indicator lights are located on the instrument cluster . If there is no indicator light on or flashing, the transfer case position is in two-wheel drive (2WD). If the indicator light is on, the desired position (4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW) has been obtained.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW , the engine speed is approximately thr ee times that of the 2WD or 4WD LOCK positions at a given road speed. T ake care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Proper operation of 4-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel.
For additional information on the appropriate use of each transfer case mode position, refer to the following infor - mation: 2WD The 2–Wheel Drive (Rear-Wheel Drive) High Range is used for normal street and highway driving, on dry , hard-surfaced r oads.

ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 279 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
loading may be requir ed for high-speed vehicle opera- tion. Refer to original equipment or an authorized tire dealer for recommended safe operating speeds, loading and cold tire inflation pr essures. W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous.
