NOTE:
Crossbars can be purchased at an authorized
dealer through Mopar® parts.
External racks do not increase the total load
carrying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure that the
total occupant and luggage load inside the
vehicle, plus the load on the luggage rack, do
not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
Gasoline Particulate Filter (GPF) — 2.0L T4
200kW Petrol Versions Only
The Gasoline Particulate Filter is a mechanical
filter, integral to the exhaust system, which
physically traps carbon particles present in the
exhaust gases of 2.0L T4 200kW petrol engines.
The particulate filter is needed to eliminate
almost all carbon particle emissions in
compliance with current/future regulations and
standards.
Since this filter physically traps particulates, it
must be cleaned (regenerated) during normal
driving operation to remove carbon particles.
The regeneration procedure is controlled
automatically by the engine control unit
according to the filter conditions and car use
conditions.
The following may occur during regeneration:
increased levels of Noise Vibration and
Harshness (NVH) and reduced engine
performance.
Dedicated messages can appear in the
instrument cluster display as a result of the
condition of the filter

WARNING!
Cargo must be securely tied down before
driving your vehicle. Improperly secured loads
can fly off the vehicle, particularly at high
speeds, resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof
rack.
CAUTION!

To avoid damage to the roof rack and
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum roof
rack load capacity. Always distribute heavy
loads as evenly as possible and secure the
load appropriately.

Long loads, which extend over the wind-
shield, should be secured to both the front
and rear of the vehicle.

Place a blanket or other protection
between the surface of the roof and the
load.

Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners
carefully when carrying large or heavy loads
on the roof rack. Wind forces, due to
natural causes or nearby truck traffic, can
add sudden upward lift. It is recommended
to not carry large flat loads, such as wood
panels or surfboards, which may result in
damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

Load should always be secured to cross-
bars first, with tie down loops used as addi-
tional securing points if needed. Tie loops
are intended as supplementary tie down
points only. Do not use ratcheting mecha-
nisms with the tie loops. Check the straps
frequently to be sure that the load remains
securely attached.
CAUTION!
