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 optional

features and equipment described in this manual that are

not on this vehicle.

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC and Cummins® welcome you as a

Cummins® 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® engines power well

over half of these trucks. Now this same technology and

proven performance is yours in your truck equipped

with the Cummins® 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 the New Vehicle Limited 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.

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 300 ft (91 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” telltale 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”

telltale and pre-heat cycle.

How To Use Remote Start

All of the following conditions must be met before the

engine will remote start:

•Shift lever in PARK

•Doors closed

•Hood closed

•HAZARD switch off

•BRAKE switch inactive (brake pedal not pressed)

•Ignition key removed from ignition switch

•Battery at an acceptable charge level

•RKE PANIC button not pressed

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•Fuel meets minimum requirement

•Water In Fuel Indicator Light is not illuminated

•Wait To Start Light is not illuminated

WARNING!

•Do not start or run an engine in a closed garage or

confined area. Exhaust gas contains Carbon Mon-

oxide (CO) which is odorless and colorless. Carbon

Monoxide is poisonous and can cause serious in-

jury or death when inhaled.

•Keep Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitters

away from children. Operation of the Remote Start

System, windows, door locks or other controls

could cause serious injury or death.

Remote Start Abort Message On Electronic Vehicle

Information Center (EVIC) – If Equipped

The following messages will display in the EVIC if the

vehicle fails to remote start or exits remote start prema-

turely:

•Remote Start Aborted - Door Ajar

•Remote Start Aborted - Hood Ajar

•Remote Start Aborted - Fuel Low

•Remote Start Aborted - System Fault

The EVIC message stays active until the ignition is turned

to the ON/RUN position.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 7

To Enter Remote Start Mode

Press and release the REMOTE START button on

the RKE transmitter twice, within five seconds.

The parking lights will flash and the horn will

chirp twice (if programmed). In cold ambient

temperature conditions, the diesel vehicle may delay crank

up to 30 seconds for the fuel and 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.
