DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of

accidents.

Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood

alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are

drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking

driver, call a cab, a friend, or use public transportation.

WARNING!

Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your

perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower,

and your judgment is impaired when you have been

drinking. Never drink and then drive.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation of

features and equipment that are either standard or op-

tional on this vehicle. This manual may also include a

description of features and equipment that are no longer

available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please

disregard any features and equipment described in this

manual that are not on this vehicle.

Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes

in design and specifications, and/or make additions to or

improvements to its products without imposing any

obligation upon itself to install them on products previ-

ously manufactured.

䡵A Message From Chrysler Group LLC ......... 4

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC and Cummins威welcome you as a

Cummins威turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.

Your diesel truck will sound, feel, drive, and operate

differently from a gasoline-powered truck. It is important

that you read and understand this manual.

Almost 100% of the heavy duty trucks in the United

States and Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel

economy, rugged durability, and high torque which per-

mits pulling heavy loads. Cummins威engines power well

over half of these trucks. Now this same technology and

proven performance is yours in your truck equipped

with the Cummins威turbocharged diesel engine.

You may find that some of the starting, operating, and

maintenance procedures are different. However, they are

simple to follow and careful adherence to them will

ensure that you take full advantage of the features of this

engine.

NOTE: Some aftermarket products may cause severe

engine/transmission and/or exhaust system damage.

Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect

and store information about vehicle modifications that

increase horsepower and torque output such as whether

or not performance-enhancing powertrain components,

commonly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or

performance chips have been used.

This information cannot be erased and will stay in the

system’s memory even if the modification is removed.

This information can be retrieved by Chrysler Group

LLC, and service and repair facilities, when servicing

your vehicle. This information may be used to determine

if repair will be covered by warranty.

There is a probability that the use of a “performance

chip” will prohibit the engine from starting. In this

instance, the vehicle will need to be serviced by a

authorized dealer in order to return the vehicle to it’s

factory settings.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering

wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle with-

out the key fob. If the steering wheel is moved approxi-

mately a half turn in either direction and the key fob is

not in the ignition switch, the steering wheel will lock.

To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel

With the engine running, turn the steering wheel upside

down, turn off the engine and remove the key fob. Turn

the steering wheel slightly in either direction until the

lock engages.

To Release the Steering Wheel Lock

Insert the key fob into the ignition switch and start the

engine. If the key fob is difficult to turn, move the wheel

slightly to the right or left to disengage the lock.

NOTE: If you turned the wheel to the right to engage

the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to

disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage

the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.

REMOTE STARTING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED

This system uses the Remote Keyless Entry

(RKE) transmitter to start the engine conve-

niently from outside the vehicle while still

maintaining security. The system has a range of

approximately 328 ft (100 m).

NOTE:

•

The vehicle must be equipped with an automatic

transmission to be equipped with Remote Start.

•

The remote start system will wait for the “Wait To Start

Light” to extinguish before cranking the engine. This

allows time for the intake heater to pre-heat the

incoming air, and is normal operation in cold weather.

Refer to “Electronic Vehicle Information Center/EVIC

Warning Lights” in “Understanding Your Instrument

Panel” for further information on and “Wait To Start

Light” and pre-heat cycle.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

How To Use Remote Start

All of the following conditions must be met before the

engine will remote start:

•

•

Hood closed

•

WARNING!

confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Mon-

oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Car-

bon Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious

injury or death when inhaled.

•

away from children. Operation of the Remote Start

System, windows, door locks or other controls

could cause serious injury or death.

turely:

•

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 7

•

The EVIC message stays active until the ignition is turned

to the ON/RUN position.

To Enter Remote Start Mode

Press and release the REMOTE START button

on the RKE transmitter twice, within five sec-

onds. The parking lights will flash and the horn

will chirp twice (if programmed). In cold am-

bient temperature conditions, the diesel vehicle may

delay crank up to 30 seconds for the glow plugs or grid

heater. Once the vehicle has started, the engine will run

for 15 minutes.

NOTE:

•

The park lamps will turn on and remain on during

Remote Start mode.

•

For security, power window and power sunroof op-

eration (if equipped) are disabled when the vehicle is

in the Remote Start mode.

•

The engine can be started two consecutive times (two

15-minute cycles) with the RKE transmitter. However,

the ignition switch must be cycled to the ON position

before you can repeat the start sequence for a third

cycle.

To Exit Remote Start Mode without Driving the

Vehicle

Press and release the REMOTE START button one time or

allow the engine to run for the entire 15-minute cycle.

NOTE: To avoid unintentional shut downs, the system

will disable the one time press of the REMOTE START

button for two seconds after receiving a valid Remote

Start request.
