Page: 7 / 738

INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler
Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it repre-
sents precision workmanship, distinctive styl-
ing, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read this
Owner’s Manual and all the supplements. Be
sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,
particularly those used for braking, steering,
and transmission shifting. Learn how your ve-
hicle handles on different road surfaces. Your
driving skills will improve with experience, but
as in driving any vehicle, take it easy as you
begin. Always observe local laws wherever you
drive.
NOTE:
After reviewing the owner information, it
should be stored in the vehicle for conve-
nient referencing and remain with the ve-
hicle when sold.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or a collision.
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds may
result in loss of control, collision with other
vehicles or objects, going off the road, or over-
turning; any of which may lead to serious injury
or death. Also, failure to use seat belts subjects
the driver and passengers to a greater risk of
injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its best, have
your vehicle serviced at recommended intervals
by an authorized dealer or distributor who has
the qualified personnel, special tools and equip-
ment to perform all service.
The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally
interested in your complete satisfaction with this
vehicle. If you encounter a service or warranty
problem which is not resolved to your satisfac-
tion, discuss the matter with your authorized
dealer or distributor’s management.
Your authorized dealer or distributor will be
happy to assist you with any questions about
your vehicle.
ROLLOVER WARNING
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles. This
vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a
higher center of gravity than many passenger
cars. It is capable of performing better in a wide
variety of off-road applications. Driven in an
unsafe manner, all vehicles can go out of con-
trol. Because of the higher center of gravity, if
this vehicle is out of control it may roll over when
some other vehicles may not.
Do not attempt sharp turns, abrupt maneuvers,
or other unsafe driving actions that can cause
loss of vehicle control. Failure to operate this
vehicle safely may result in a collision, rollover
of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Drive
carefully.
