OPERATING TIPS

CAUTION!

Interior air enters the Rear Automatic Temperature
Control system through an intake grille, located in the
right side trim panel behind the third row seats. The
heater outlets are located in the right side trim panel,
just behind the rear doors. Do not block or place
objects directly in front of the inlet grille or heater
outlets. The electrical system could overload causing
damage to the blower motor.

NOTE:

Refer to the chart at the end of this section for sug-
gested control settings for various weather conditions.

Summer Operation

The engine cooling system must be protected with a
high-quality antifreeze coolant to provide proper corro-
sion protection and to protect against engine overheat-
ing. OAT coolant (conforming to MS.90032) is recom-
mended. For more information, see

page 378.

Winter Operation

To ensure the best possible heater and defroster perfor-
mance, make sure the engine cooling system is func-
tioning properly and the proper amount, type, and con-
centration of coolant is used. Use of the Air
Recirculation mode during Winter months is not recom-
mended, because it may cause window fogging.

Vacation/Storage

For information on maintaining the Climate Control sys-
tem when the vehicle is being stored for an extended
period of time, see

page 371.

Window Fogging

Vehicle windows tend to fog on the inside in mild, rainy,
and/or humid weather. To clear the windows, select
Defrost or Mix mode and increase the front blower
speed. Do not use the Recirculation mode without A/C
for long periods, as fogging may occur.

Outside Air Intake

Make sure the air intake, located directly in front of the
windshield, is free of obstructions, such as leaves.
Leaves collected in the air intake may reduce airflow,
and if they enter the air distribution box, they could plug
the water drains. In Winter months, make sure the air
intake is clear of ice, slush, and snow.

Cabin Air Filter

The Climate Control system filters out dust and pollen
from the air. Contact an authorized dealer to service
your cabin air filter, and to have it replaced when
needed.

Stop/Start System — If Equipped

While in an Autostop, the Climate Control system may
automatically adjust airflow to maintain cabin comfort.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

•

If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an elec-
tric shock and failure.

CAUTION!

•

Many accessories that can be plugged in draw
power from the vehicle's battery, even when not in
use (i.e., cellular phones, etc.). Eventually, if
plugged in long enough, the vehicle's battery will
discharge sufficiently to degrade battery life
and/or prevent the engine from starting.

•

Accessories that draw higher power (i.e., coolers,
vacuum cleaners, lights, etc.) will degrade the bat-
tery even more quickly. Only use these intermit-
tently and with greater caution.

•

After the use of high power draw accessories, or
long periods of the vehicle not being started (with
accessories still plugged in), the vehicle must be
driven a sufficient length of time to allow the gen-
erator to recharge the vehicle's battery.

POWER INVERTER — IF EQUIPPED

There is a 115 Volt, 150 W inverter outlet located on
the back of the center console to convert DC current to
AC current. This outlet can power cellular phones, elec-
tronics and other low power devices requiring power up
to 150 W. Certain video game consoles exceed this
power limit, as will most power tools.

The power inverter is designed with built-in overload
protection. If the power rating of 150 W is exceeded,
the power inverter automatically shuts down. Once the
electrical device has been removed from the outlet the
inverter should automatically reset. To avoid overload-
ing the circuit, check the power ratings on electrical
devices prior to using the inverter.

WARNING!

To avoid serious injury or death:

•

Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.

•

Do not touch with wet hands.

•

Close the lid when not in use.

•

If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an elec-
tric shock and failure.

WIRELESS CHARGING PAD —
IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a 15W 3A Qi® wire-
less charging pad located below the center stack,
within the storage compartment. This charging pad is
designed to wirelessly charge your Qi® enabled mobile
phone. Qi® is a standard that allows wireless charging
of your mobile phone.

Your mobile phone must be designed for Qi® wireless
charging. If the phone is not equipped with Qi® wireless
charging functionality, an aftermarket sleeve or a spe-
cialized back plate can be purchased from your mobile
phone provider or a local electronics retailer. Please
see your phone’s Owner’s Manual for further
information.

The wireless charging pad is equipped with an anti-slip
mat to hold your mobile phone in place, and an LED

Power Inverter

Wireless Charging Pad

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

Place the device inside the prepared area delimited in
the mat as shown in the image. Incorrect positioning
will prevent the phone from charging.

LED Indicator Status:

•

No Light: Charging pad is idle or searching for a
device. Device may not be compatible with the Qi®
standard.

•

Blue Light: Device is detected and is charging.

•

Red Light/Flashing: Internal error or foreign object is
detected.

•

Green Light: Device has completed battery charging
(if device is equipped to transmit this information).

Important Notes Regarding This Vehicle’s Wireless
Charging Pad:

•

The presence of the Near-Field Communication
(NFC) function active on a smartphone could signal
malfunction anomalies.

•

The ignition must be in the ON/RUN position in
order for the phone to charge.

•

To avoid interference with the key fob search, the
wireless charging pad will stop charging when any
door or liftgate is opened, even if the engine is
running.

•

Be sure to place the mobile device correctly (display
facing upward, and phone not covering the LED) on
the wireless charging pad.

•

If the phone moves on the pad causing the red light
to illuminate, the phone will have to be picked up
and placed back on the charging pad to resume
charging.

•

Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone
is connected to a wired charger.

•

If the phone moves on the pad causing the red light
to illuminate, the phone will have to be picked up
and placed back on the charging pad to resume
charging.

•

Wireless charging is not as fast as when the phone
is connected to a wired charger.

•

The phone’s protective case must be removed when
placed on the wireless charging pad.

•

iPhone® 12 (including iPod®) is equipped with soft-
ware to protect the device from overheating. When
the software is active, the rate of charge is slowed
down to protect the device.

•

Phones must always be placed on the wireless
charging pad within the outline shown on the pad so
that its charging parts connect with the charging
coils of the system. Movement of the phone during
charging may prevent or slow the rate of charge.

•

Having multiple applications open on the phone
while charging will reduce the charging efficiency,
and may even shut down an application that is
actively running (i.e. Apple CarPlay®). This may also
cause the phone to overheat.

•

Wireless chargers may implement certain methods
to prevent the phone from overheating during charg-
ing such as slowing down the rate of charge. In cer-
tain instances, the device may shut down for a brief
period of time (when the device reaches a certain
temperature). If this happens, it does not mean
there is a fault with the wireless charging pad. This
may just be a protective measure to prevent dam-
age to the phone.

•

The use of multiple wireless functions at the same
time (wireless charging, Apple CarPlay®, Android
Auto™) could cause the device to overheat, resulting
in limitation of the functions or it turning off. In this
case, it is recommended to connect the system
using the USB port.

•

Do not place the key fob or any other type of metal/
magnetized object inside the mobile phone housing
or near the wireless charging pad.

•

With a compatible device placed on the charging
pad, and the ignition is cycled to the OFF position, a
reminder message may appear on the instrument
cluster display to warn the driver.

CAUTION!

The key fob should not be placed on the charging pad
or within 6 inches (15 cm) of it. Doing so can cause
excessive heat buildup and damage to the fob. Plac-
ing the fob in close proximity of the charging pad
blocks the fob from being detected by the vehicle and
prevents the vehicle from starting.

HANDS-FREE LIFTGATE —
IF EQUIPPED

To open or close the liftgate using hands-free activa-
tion, use a straight in and out kicking motion under the
vehicle activation zone in the general location below
the rear license plate. The activation zone is about
1.8 ft (0.5 m) from side to side. Do not move your foot
sideways or in a sweeping motion or the sensors may
not detect the motion.

NOTE:

The activation zone is the same for vehicles equipped
with or without a trailer tow package.

When a valid kicking motion is completed, the liftgate
will chime, the hazard lights will flash and the liftgate
will open after approximately one second, or close after
approximately three seconds. These settings can be
enabled or disabled through Uconnect Settings

page 199.

NOTE:

•

Opening or closing the Hands-Free Liftgate requires
a valid Passive Entry key fob within 5 ft (1.5 m) of
the liftgate handle. If a valid Passive Entry key fob is
not within 5 ft (1.5 m), the liftgate will not respond
to any kicks.

•

The Hands-Free Liftgate feature may be turned on or
off through the Uconnect system

page 199.

•

The Hands-Free Liftgate feature should be turned
off during jacking, tire changing, manual car wash,

tions within the same cycle, the system will auto-
matically stop. If this occurs, the liftgate must be
operated manually.

•

The power liftgate will release, but not power open,
in temperatures below −12°F (−24°C). Be sure to
remove any buildup of snow or ice from the liftgate
before opening the liftgate.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

WARNING!

•

Cargo tie-downs are not safe anchors for a child
seat tether strap. In a sudden stop or accident, a
tie-down could pull loose and allow the child seat
to come loose. A child could be badly injured. Use
only the anchors provided for child seat tethers.

•

To help protect against personal injury, passengers
should not be seated in the rear cargo area. The
rear cargo space is intended for load carrying pur-
poses only, not for passengers, who should sit in
seats and use seat belts.

The weight and position of cargo and passengers can
change the vehicle center of gravity and vehicle han-
dling. To avoid loss of control resulting in personal
injury, follow these guidelines for loading your vehicle:

•

Do not carry loads that exceed the load limits
described on the label attached to the left door or
left door center pillar.

•

Always place cargo evenly on the cargo floor. Put
heavier objects as low and as far forward as
possible.

•

Place as much cargo as possible in front of the
rear axle. Too much weight or improperly placed
weight over or behind the rear axle can cause the
vehicle to sway.

•

Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the top of
the seatback. This could impair visibility or become
a dangerous projectile in a sudden stop or
accident.

Retractable Cargo Area Cover —

If Equipped

The purpose of this cover is for privacy, not to secure
loads. It will not prevent cargo from shifting or protect
passengers from loose cargo.

WARNING!

ROOF LUGGAGE RACK — IF EQUIPPED

The crossbars and siderails are designed to carry loads
on vehicles equipped with a luggage rack. The load
must not exceed 150 lb (68 kg), and should be uni-
formly distributed over the luggage rack crossbars.

NOTE:

See an authorized dealer to order and install Mopar®
crossbars built specifically for this roof rack system.

Distribute cargo weight evenly on the roof rack cross-
bars. The roof rack does not increase the total load car-
rying capacity of the vehicle. Be sure the total load of
cargo inside the vehicle plus that on the external rack
does not exceed the maximum vehicle load capacity.
Place one crossbar in the forward position. Place the
rear crossbar in one of the two rear optional positions
based on the load being secured.

To move the crossbars, loosen the attachments, located
at the upper edge of each crossbar, approximately eight
turns using the wrench provided with the Mopar®
crossbars. Then, move the crossbar to the desired posi-
tion, keeping the crossbars parallel to the rack frame.
Once the crossbar is in the desired position, retighten
with the wrench to lock the crossbar into position.

NOTE:

If any cargo (or any metallic object) is placed over the
satellite radio antenna (if equipped), you may experi-
ence interruption of satellite radio reception. For
improved satellite radio reception, place the rear cross-
bar in the forward of the two rear crossbar positions.

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 per-
sonal injury or property damage. Follow the roof rack
cautions when carrying cargo on your roof rack.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

CAUTION!

•

To prevent damage to the roof of your vehicle, do
not carry any loads on the roof rack without the
crossbars installed. The load should be secured
and placed on top of the crossbars, not directly on
the roof. If it is necessary to place the load on the
roof, place a blanket or some other protection
between the load and the roof surface.

•

To avoid damage to the roof rack and vehicle, do
not exceed the maximum roof rack load capacity of
150 lb (68 kg). Always distribute heavy loads as
evenly as possible and secure the load
appropriately.

•

Long loads which extend over the windshield, such
as wood panels or surfboards, or loads with large
frontal area should be secured to both the front
and rear of the vehicle.

•

Travel at reduced speeds and turn corners care-
fully 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 to a load.
This is especially true on large flat loads and may
result in damage to the cargo or your vehicle.

•

The use of vehicle systems that would adjust the
ride heights (such as Selec-Terrain modes Rock or
Sand/Mud) is not recommended when using the
Roof Luggage Rack to carry a load.

This warning will be displayed on the instrument panel
display when the vehicle has determined an operational
issue will occur shortly, which will cause the vehicle's
electric propulsion system to turn off. If the light turns
on while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe location as
soon as possible. Have the vehicle transported to an
authorized dealer.

STOP SAFELY AND LEAVE THE
VEHICLE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

A warning will appear on the instrument panel display if
the system detects the high voltage battery has over-
heated. This can result in a vehicle fire, and the release
of toxic and/or flammable gases. To reduce the risk of a
larger fire,

the vehicle’s high voltage propulsion system

will turn off within thirty seconds of displaying this
warning

. At that time, the vehicle may not accelerate.

You can still steer and brake the vehicle.

Stop and park the vehicle in an open area

. Have all

passengers exit the vehicle as soon as possible and
move to a safe distance away from the vehicle. After all
passengers safely exit the vehicle, call emergency
responders immediately. Even if you do not see flames,
a fire may start at any moment, so do not attempt to
re-enter or start the vehicle.

•

This message will be displayed continuously.

•

Cannot be cleared with a button press.

•

A continuous and rapid chime will sound.

WARNING!

•

An overheated high voltage battery may result in a
vehicle fire and possible release of toxic and/or
flammable gases. Vehicle occupants could be
injured or killed. Leave the vehicle immediately
and stay as far away from the vehicle as possible.

•

Power to the vehicle may shut off thirty seconds
after this message appears. Stop the vehicle in a
safe location away from traffic, other vehicles and
building structures. Failure to bring the vehicle to a
safe stop could result in serious injury or death.

CAUTION!

•

An overheated High Voltage Battery may result in
electrical systems damage. Do not attempt to
restart the vehicle. The vehicle must be towed to
an authorized dealer.

ELECTRIC MODE TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

See the following information for the most common
reasons the Electric mode would be unavailable:

Operator choices that can inhibit Electric Mode:

•

Transmission control using Paddle Shifters - Return
to auto mode to use Electric mode.

•

Heavily depressed accelerator pedal position,
requesting high power demand - Beyond the limits
of the electric drivetrain, will cause engine to run,
enabling the powertrain to produce its full combined
power available in Hybrid mode.

•

Sustained high speed operation in Electric mode -
Using the engine is more efficient for high speeds
than Electric mode.

•

Transfer case and drive mode selection - eSave/
Hybrid/Sport, Sand, Mud, 4WD Low/Hybrid will run
the engine.

•

Electric range is depleted - You need to recharge to
enjoy Electric mode, or you can continue normally in
Hybrid.

•

Hood open (or a hood switch fault) - This is to pre-
vent unexpected engine starts with the hood open.

Thermal protection that can inhibit Electric Mode:

•

Engine, transmission or engine starting belt too cold
- Some systems require warm-up to function prop-
erly if the ambient temperature is below 32°F
(15°F in Electric mode).

•

Electric cabin heating capacity limits (or electric
cabin heater fault) - Unlike Battery Electric Vehicles
(BEV's), the Hybrid can warm the cabin more effi-
ciently with engine heat when operating below 15°F
outside temperature.

•

HV battery, motors or contactors over temperature -
This is a temporary hardware protection feature.
Vehicle performance will resume once protection is
no longer required. If the vehicle performance is
accompanied with a Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL)

, have the vehicle serviced at an autho-

rized dealership.

Component protection that can inhibit Electric Mode:

•

HV battery undervoltage - Sustained EV operation at
high speed, especially with aftermarket wheels and
tires, can induce this.

•

Other electric propulsion system faults indicated by
a MIL - Please see an authorized dealer for service.

•

Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode - See the following
section.

Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode

Since it is possible to operate this vehicle for extended
periods of time without running the gas engine, the fuel
within the vehicle’s fuel tank can become stale or the
engine oil’s lubricating properties can be reduced. To
prevent engine and/or fuel system damage due to stale
fuel, as well as maintaining internal engine lubrication,
this vehicle is equipped with a Fuel and Oil Refresh
Mode.

NOTE:

If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode to main-
tain engine lubrication, adding fuel will not exit the
mode sooner.

The vehicle will automatically enter into the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode to minimize potential for stale fuel, and
to ensure lubrication of internal engine components.
When operating in this mode, the gas engine will run to
provide vehicle propulsion (electric only operation is
inhibited). A message will be displayed in the instru-
ment cluster whenever Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is
active.

The vehicle will automatically exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode when fuel and lubrication conditions
have been satisfied. If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode, due to fuel which has been in the fuel
tank for a long period of time (becoming stale fuel), the
engine will run whenever the vehicle is operational (no
electric only operation) until the low fuel level warning is
activated. It is also possible to exit the Fuel and Oil
Refresh Mode sooner by adding a minimum of four gal-
lons of new fuel to the vehicle’s fuel tank.

Electric Mode Temporarily Unavailable Message

Fuel And Oil Refresh Mode Message

If the vehicle enters Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode to main-
tain engine lubrication properties, the engine may run
for a period of up to 2.5 hours when fully warm when-
ever the vehicle is operational (no electric only opera-
tion). If the vehicle is shut down before conditions to
exit the refresh mode have been satisfied, the engine
may run for additional time on subsequent trips. Oil
refresh may take significantly longer in freezing
temperatures.

NOTE:

•

Frequent short trips at low ambient temperature
conditions where the engine does not reach normal
operating temperatures are more likely to trigger the
Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode.

•

Electric drive mode will be temporarily unavailable
while the Fuel and Oil Refresh Mode is active. Do
not attempt to return to Electric mode until the Fuel
and Oil Refresh Mode cycle is complete.

CAUTION!

If the instrument cluster instructs you to change the
engine oil, do not reset the service indicator without
changing the oil. Engine damage may result.

DISPLAY AND MESSAGES

The instrument cluster display is located in the center
portion of the cluster and consist of multiple sections:

•

Main Screen — The inner ring of the display will illu-
minate in black under normal conditions, yellow for
noncritical warnings and red for critical warnings

•

Submenu Dots — Whenever there are submenus
available, the position within the submenus is
shown here

•

Reconfigurable Telltales/Information

•

The instrument cluster display will normally display the
main menu or the screens of a selected feature of the
main menu. The main display area also displays pop-up
messages and warning or information messages. These
pop-up messages fall into several categories:

•

Five Second Stored Messages

When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for
five seconds and then returns to the previous
screen. Most of the messages of this type are then
stored (as long as the condition that activated it
remains active) and can be reviewed from the “Mes-
sages” main menu item. Examples of this message
type are “Right Front Turn Signal Lamp Out” and
“Low Tire Pressure”.

•

Unstored Messages

This message type is displayed indefinitely or until
the condition that activated the message is cleared.
Examples of this message type are “Turn Signal On”
(if a turn signal is left on) and “Lights On” (if driver
leaves the vehicle with the lights on).

•

Unstored Messages Until RUN

These messages deal primarily with the Remote
Start feature. This message type is displayed until
the ignition is in the RUN state. Examples of this
message type are “Remote Start Canceled - Door
Ajar” and “Press Brake Pedal and Push Button to
Start”.

•

Five Second Unstored Messages

When the appropriate conditions occur, this type of
message takes control of the main display area for
five seconds and then returns to the previous
screen. An example of this message type is “Auto-
matic High Beams On”.
