harness.
The electrical connections are all complete to the

vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer

connector. Refer to the following illustrations.
NOTE:

Disconnect trailer wiring connector from the

vehicle before launching a boat (or any other

device plugged into vehicle’s electrical connect)

into water.



Be sure to reconnect once clear from water

area.

Before towing, practice turning, stopping, and

backing up the trailer in an area located away from

heavy traffic.

Automatic Transmission

Select the DRIVE range when towing. The

transmission controls include a drive strategy to

avoid frequent shifting when towing. For increased

engine braking on steep downhill grades, select

the LOW range.

Cruise Control — If Equipped



Do not use on hilly terrain or with heavy loads.



When using the Cruise Control, if you experience

speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h),

disengage until you can get back to cruising

speed.

accomplished using a tow dolly (front wheels off

the ground) or vehicle trailer (all four wheels off the

ground). If using a tow dolly, follow this procedure:
1. Properly secure the dolly to the tow vehicle,

following the dolly manufacturer's

instructions.

2. Drive the front wheels onto the tow dolly.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Place the transmission in PARK.

DRIVING TIPS

RIVING

LIPPERY

URFACES

Information in this section will aid in safe

controlled launches in adverse conditions.

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other

slippery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to

pull erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon

occurs when there is a difference in the surface

traction under the front (driving) wheels.

Traction

When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible

for a wedge of water to build-up between the tire

and road surface. This is hydroplaning and may

cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control

and stopping ability. To reduce this possibility, the

following precautions should be observed:



Slow down during rainstorms or when the roads

are slushy.



Slow down if the road has standing water or

puddles.



Replace the tires when tread wear indicators

first become visible.



Keep tires properly inflated.



Maintain sufficient distance between your

vehicle and the vehicle in front of you to avoid a

collision in a sudden stop.

RIVING

HROUGH

ATER

Driving through water more than a few inches/

centimeters deep will require extra caution to

ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle.

Flowing/Rising Water

WARNING!

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is

dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sudden

pulling of the front wheels. You could lose

control of the vehicle and possibly have a

collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully

whenever there is likely to be poor traction (ice,

snow, wet, mud, loose sand, etc.).

WARNING!

Do not drive on or across a road or path where

water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm

run-off). Flowing water can wear away the road

or path's surface and cause your vehicle to sink

into deeper water. Furthermore, flowing and/or

rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly.

Failure to follow this warning may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

STARTING AND OPERATING

139

(Continued)

Shallow Standing Water

Although your vehicle is capable of driving through

shallow standing water, consider the following

Warnings and Cautions before doing so.

WARNING!



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s traction capabilities. Do not exceed

5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through

standing water.



Driving through standing water limits your

vehicle’s braking capabilities, which increases

stopping distances. Therefore, after driving

through standing water, drive slowly and

lightly press on the brake pedal several times

to dry the brakes.



Failure to follow these warnings may result in

injuries that are serious or fatal to you, your

passengers, and others around you.

CAUTION!



Always check the depth of the standing water

before driving through it. Never drive through

standing water that is deeper than the bottom

of the tire rims mounted on the vehicle.



Determine the condition of the road or the

path that is under water and if there are any

obstacles in the way before driving through

the standing water.



Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving

through standing water. This will minimize

wave effects.



Driving through standing water may cause

damage to your vehicle’s drivetrain compo

nents. Always inspect your vehicle’s fluids

(i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for

signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky

or foamy in appearance) after driving through

standing water. Do not continue to operate

the vehicle if any fluid appears contaminated,

as this may result in further damage. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.



Getting water inside your vehicle’s engine can

cause it to lock up and stall out, and cause

serious internal damage to the engine. Such

damage is not covered by the New Vehicle

Limited Warranty.

CAUTION!

UCONNECT SYSTEMS

For detailed information about your Uconnect 5

With 7-inch Display or Uconnect 5/5 NAV With

Owner’s Manual Supplement.
NOTE:

Uconnect screen images are for illustration

purposes only and may not reflect exact software

for your vehicle.

CYBERSECURITY

Your vehicle may be a connected vehicle and may

be equipped with both wired and wireless

networks. These networks allow your vehicle to

send and receive information. This information

allows systems and features in your vehicle to

function properly.
Your vehicle may be equipped with certain security

features to reduce the risk of unauthorized and

unlawful access to vehicle systems and wireless

communications. Vehicle software technology

continues to evolve over time and FCA US LLC,

working with its suppliers, evaluates and takes

appropriate steps as needed. Similar to a

computer or other devices, your vehicle may

require software updates to improve the usability

and performance of your systems or to reduce the

potential risk of unauthorized and unlawful access

to your vehicle systems.
The risk of unauthorized and unlawful access to

your vehicle systems may still exist, even if the

most recent version of vehicle software (such as

Uconnect software) is installed.

NOTE:



FCA US LLC or your dealer may contact you

directly regarding software updates.



To help further improve vehicle security and

minimize the potential risk of a security breach,

vehicle owners should:



Routinely check

www.driveuconnect.com

(US Residents) or

www.driveuconnect.ca

(Canadian Residents) to learn about avail

able Uconnect software updates.



Only connect and use trusted media

devices (e.g. personal mobile phones,

USBs, CDs).

Privacy of any wireless and wired communications

cannot be assured. Third parties may unlawfully

intercept information and private communications

without your consent

page 102.

WARNING!



It is not possible to know or to predict all of the

possible outcomes if your vehicle’s systems

are breached. It may be possible that vehicle

systems, including safety related systems,

could be impaired or a loss of vehicle control

could occur that may result in an accident

involving serious injury or death.



ONLY insert trusted devices/components into

your vehicle. Media of unknown origin could

possibly contain malicious software, and if

installed in your vehicle, it may increase the

possibility for vehicle systems to be breached.



As always, if you experience unusual vehicle

behavior, take your vehicle to your nearest

authorized dealer immediately.
