Introduction; Rollover Warning - Chrysler Patriot Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on selecting your new Chrysler
Group LLC vehicle. Be assured that it repre-
sents precision workmanship, distinctive styl-
ing, and high quality - all essentials that are
traditional to our vehicles.
Before you start to drive this vehicle, read this
Owner's Manual and all the supplements. Be
sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls,
particularly those used for braking, steering,
and transmission shifting. Learn how your ve-
hicle handles on different road surfaces. Your
driving skills will improve with experience, but
as in driving any vehicle, take it easy as you
begin. Always observe local laws wherever you
drive.
NOTE:
After you read the manual, it should be
stored in the vehicle for convenient refer-
ence and remain with the vehicle when sold,
so that the new owner will be aware of all
safety warnings.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may
result in loss of control or an accident.

Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds or
while intoxicated may result in loss of control,
collision with other vehicles or objects, going
off the road, or overturning; any of which may
lead to serious injury or death. Also, failure to
use seat belts subjects the driver and passen-
gers to a greater risk of injury or death.
To keep your vehicle running at its best, have
your vehicle serviced at recommended inter-
vals by an authorized dealer who has the
qualified personnel, special tools, and equip-
ment to perform all service.
The manufacturer and its distributors are vitally
interested in your complete satisfaction with
this vehicle. If you encounter a service or
warranty problem, which is not resolved to your
satisfaction, discuss the matter with your autho-
rized dealer's management.
Your authorized dealer will be happy to assist
you with any questions about your vehicle.

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
cars. 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 an accident, roll-
over of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury.
Drive carefully.
