Floor Mat Safety Information

Always use floor mats designed to fit your vehicle.

Only use a floor mat that does not interfere with the

operation of the accelerator, brake or clutch

pedals. Only use a floor mat that is securely

attached using the floor mat fasteners so it cannot

slip out of position and interfere with the

accelerator, brake or clutch pedals or impair safe

operation of your vehicle in other ways.

WARNING!

An improperly attached, damaged, folded, or

stacked floor mat, or damaged floor mat

fasteners may cause your floor mat to interfere

with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals and

cause a loss of vehicle control. To prevent

SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:



ALWAYS securely attach your floor

mat using the floor mat fasteners. DO

NOT install your floor mat upside down

or turn your floor mat over. Lightly pull

to confirm mat is secured using the floor mat

fasteners on a regular basis.



ALWAYS REMOVE THE EXISTING

FLOOR MAT FROM THE VEHICLE before

installing any other floor mat. NEVER

install or stack an additional floor mat

on top of an existing floor mat.



ONLY install floor mats designed to fit your

vehicle. NEVER install a floor mat that cannot

be properly attached and secured to your

vehicle. If a floor mat needs to be replaced,

only use a FCA approved floor mat for the

specific make, model, and year of your

vehicle.



ONLY use the driver’s side floor mat on the

driver’s side floor area. To check for interfer

ence, with the vehicle properly parked with the

engine off, fully depress the accelerator, the

brake, and the clutch pedal (if present) to

check for interference. If your floor mat inter

feres with the operation of any pedal, or is not

secure to the floor, remove the floor mat from

the vehicle and place the floor mat in your

trunk.



ONLY use the passenger’s side floor mat on

the passenger’s side floor area.



ALWAYS make sure objects cannot fall or slide

into the driver’s side floor area when the

vehicle is moving. Objects can become

trapped under accelerator, brake, or clutch

pedals and could cause a loss of vehicle

control.

WARNING!



NEVER place any objects under the floor mat

(e.g., towels, keys, etc.). These objects could

change the position of the floor mat and may

cause interference with the accelerator,

brake, or clutch pedals.



If the vehicle carpet has been removed and

re-installed, always properly attach carpet to

the floor and check the floor mat fasteners are

secure to the vehicle carpet. Fully depress

each pedal to check for interference with the

accelerator, brake, or clutch pedals then

re-install the floor mats.



It is recommended to only use mild soap and

water to clean your floor mats. After cleaning,

always check your floor mat has been properly

installed and is secured to your vehicle using

the floor mat fasteners by lightly pulling mat.

Tires

Examine tires for excessive tread wear and uneven

wear patterns. Check for stones, nails, glass, or

other objects lodged in the tread or sidewall.

Inspect the tread for cuts and cracks. Inspect

sidewalls for cuts, cracks, and bulges. Check the

lug nuts/bolt torque for tightness. Check the tires

(including spare) for proper cold inflation pressure.

Lights

Have someone observe the operation of brake

lights and exterior lights while you work the

controls. Check turn signal and high beam

indicator lights on the instrument panel.

Door Latches

Check for proper closing, latching, and locking.

Fluid Leaks

Check area under the vehicle after overnight

parking for fuel, coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

Also, if gasoline fumes are detected or if fuel or

brake fluid leaks are suspected, the cause should

be located and corrected immediately.

XHAUST

The best protection against carbon monoxide entry

into the vehicle body is a properly maintained

engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the

exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can be

detected inside the vehicle, or when the underside

or rear of the vehicle is damaged, have an

authorized dealer inspect the complete exhaust

system and adjacent body areas for broken,

damaged, deteriorated, or mispositioned parts.

Open seams or loose connections could permit

exhaust fumes to seep into the passenger

compartment. In addition, inspect the exhaust

system each time the vehicle is raised for

lubrication or oil change. Replace as required.

ARBON

ONOXIDE

ARNINGS

WARNING!

Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain

carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and

odorless. Breathing it can make you

unconscious and can eventually poison you. To

avoid breathing (CO), follow these safety tips:



Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in

confined areas any longer than needed to

move your vehicle in or out of the area.



If you are required to drive with the trunk/lift

gate/rear doors open, make sure that all

windows are closed and the climate control

BLOWER switch is set at high speed. DO NOT

use the recirculation mode.



If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle with

the engine running, adjust your heating or

cooling controls to force outside air into the

vehicle. Set the blower at high speed.

WARNING!

Carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaust gases is

deadly. Follow the precautions below to prevent

carbon monoxide poisoning:



Do not inhale exhaust gases. They contain

carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas,

which can kill. Never run the engine in a closed

area, such as a garage, and never sit in a

parked vehicle with the engine running for an

extended period. If the vehicle is stopped in an

open area with the engine running for more

than a short period, adjust the ventilation

system to force fresh, outside air into the

vehicle.



Guard against carbon monoxide with proper

maintenance. Have the exhaust system

inspected every time the vehicle is raised.

Have any abnormal conditions repaired

promptly. Until repaired, drive with all side

windows fully open.

Store the sealant canister in its special compart

ment, away from sources of heat. Failure to fol

low this WARNING may result in sealant canister

rupture and serious injury or death.

WARNING!

Do not attempt jump starting if the battery is fro

zen. It could rupture or explode and cause per

sonal injury.

Connecting The Jumper Cables
1. Connect the positive (+) end of the jumper

cable to the positive (+) post of the discharged

vehicle.

2. Connect the opposite end of the positive (+)

jumper cable to the positive (+) post of the

booster battery.

3. Connect the negative (-) end of the jumper

cable to the negative (-) post of the booster

battery.

4. Connect the opposite end of the negative (-)

jumper cable to a good engine ground. A

“ground” is an exposed metallic/unpainted

part of the engine, frame or chassis, such as

an accessory bracket or large bolt. The ground

must be away from the battery and the fuel

injection system.

Suitable Engine Ground

5. Start the engine in the vehicle that has the

booster battery, let the engine idle a few

minutes, and then start the engine in the

vehicle with the discharged battery.

6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper

cables in the reverse sequence.

WARNING!

Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this

could establish a ground connection and

personal injury could result.

WARNING!



Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan

whenever the hood is raised. It can start

anytime the ignition switch is ON. You can be

injured by moving fan blades.



Remove any metal jewelry such as rings,

watch bands and bracelets that could make

an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be

seriously injured.



Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn

your skin or eyes and generate hydrogen gas

which is flammable and explosive. Keep open

flames or sparks away from the battery.

WARNING!

Failure to follow this jump starting procedure

could result in personal injury or property

damage due to battery explosion.

CAUTION!

Failure to follow these procedures could result in

damage to the charging system of the booster

vehicle or the discharged vehicle.

WARNING!

Do not connect the jumper cable to the

negative (-) post of the discharged battery. The

resulting electrical spark could cause the battery

to explode and could result in personal injury.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY

Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-) end of the jumper

cable from the engine ground of the vehicle

with the discharged battery.

2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-)

jumper cable from the negative (-) post of the

booster battery.

3. Disconnect the positive (+) end of the jumper

cable from the positive (+) post of the booster

battery.

4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)

jumper cable from the positive (+) post of the

vehicle with the discharged battery, and

reinstall the protective cap.

If frequent jump starting is required to start your

vehicle you should have the battery and charging

system inspected at an authorized dealer.

REFUELING IN EMERGENCY – IF EQUIPPED

The vehicle is equipped with a refueling funnel

page

272 for a Cap-Less Fuel System. If

refueling is necessary, while using an approved

gas can, insert the refueling funnel into the filler

neck opening. Take care to open both flappers with

the funnel to avoid spills.

NOTE:

In certain cold conditions, ice may prevent the fuel

door from opening. If this occurs, lightly push on

the fuel door to break the ice buildup and

re-release the fuel door using the inside release

button. Do not pry on the door.

Refueling Funnel

Emergency Gas Can Refueling
Most gas cans will not open the flapper doors. A

funnel is provided to allow emergency refueling

with a gas can.
See the following steps for refueling:
1. Retrieve funnel from the spare tire storage area.
2. Insert funnel into same filler pipe opening as

the fuel nozzle.

Inserting Funnel

3. Ensure funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper

doors open.

4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.

CAUTION!

Accessories plugged into the vehicle power

outlets draw power from the vehicle’s battery,

even when not in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.).

Eventually, if plugged in long enough without

engine operation, the vehicle’s battery will

discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life

and/or prevent the engine from starting.

CAUTION!

To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top

off” the fuel tank after filling.
