INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on selecting your new FCA US
LLC vehicle. Be assured that it represents pre-
cision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high
quality.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared with
the assistance of service and engineering spe-
cialists to acquaint you with the operation and
maintenance of your vehicle. It is supplemented
by Warranty Information, and various customer-
oriented documents. Please take the time to
read these publications carefully. Following the
instructions
and recommendations in this
manual will help assure safe and enjoyable
operation of your vehicle.
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.
When it comes to service, remember that your
authorized dealer knows your Jeep® vehicle
best, has factory-trained technicians and genu-
ine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your sat-
isfaction.
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
vehicles. 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
control. 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.
Failure to use the driver and passenger seat
belts provided is a major cause of severe or fatal
injury. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is
significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Always buckle up.
