A MESSAGE FROM FCA US LLC
FCA US LLC welcomes you as a turbocharged dieselpowered vehicle owner. Your diesel vehicle will sound,
feel, drive and operate differently from a gasoline-powered
vehicle. It is important that you read and understand this
manual.
Almost 100% of the heavy trucks in the United States and
Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy,
rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling
heavy loads.
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.
• Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to the
vehicle will effect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning System.
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 FCA US LLC, and service
and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle. This
information may be used to determine if repair will be
covered by 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.
When it comes to service, remember that your authorized
dealer knows your vehicle best, has factory-trained technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and cares about your
satisfaction.

the seats must be locked in facing forward position while
driving. If the seats are not in the correct position, a
warning will appear in the instrument cluster display.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked in facing
forward position before the first vehicle movement, the
transmission is forced in NEUTRAL position until the seats
are both locked in facing forward position. When the seats
are not in the right position and the first vehicle movement
after the cranking is attempted, a chime and a text message
will appear in instrument cluster display. Rotate and lock
the swivel seats in the correct position before trying again.
If the driver or the passenger seats are not locked in facing
forward position during the first vehicle movement, a text
message will be appear in the instrument cluster display
and an intermittent chime will sound until key-off or until
the swivel seats are locked in facing forward position. Stop
and move the swivel seats in the correct position before
proceeding.
Swivel Seat Lever
If a fault is present in the system and it is not possible to
check the correct position of the swivel seats, a text
message and the generic warning light will appear in the
instrument cluster display to inform you about the failure.
In these conditions, check the status of the swivel seats and
do not drive the vehicle until the swivel seats are locked in
facing forward position.
WARNING!
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• NEVER install a driver seat cover or any other
accessory on your driver seat.
• NEVER make any modifications to the driver seat
components, assembly, or factory installed seat cover.
• NEVER place objects under the driver seat.
If your driver seat needs service for any reason, take
your vehicle to your authorized dealer immediately.

18 STARTING AND OPERATING
STARTING THE ENGINE — DIESEL ENGINE
Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, both inside
and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts.
The starter is allowed to crank for up to 10-second intervals. Waiting a few minutes between such intervals will
protect the starter from overheating.
WARNING!
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle.
• Allowing children to be in a vehicle unattended is
dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others
could be seriously or fatally injured. Children
should be warned not to touch the parking brake,
brake pedal or the transmission gear selector.
• Do not leave the key fob in or near the vehicle (or in
a location accessible to children). A child could
operate power windows, other controls, or move the
vehicle.
NOTE: Engine start up in very low ambient temperature
could result in evident white smoke. This condition will
disappear as the engine warms up.
CAUTION!
If the “Generic Warning Light” remains on and a
“Service Fuel Filter” message displays, DO NOT
START engine before you drain the water from the fuel
filter housing to avoid engine damage. Please see your
authorized dealer for draining the fuel filter/water
separator and fuel filter replacement.
Normal Starting Procedure
The gear selector must be in the NEUTRAL (N) position,
and the brake pedal must be pressed, to allow engine
cranking. Place the gear selector in NEUTRAL (N) and
apply the brake pedal BEFORE turning the key to the
START/AVV position; otherwise, the engine will not crank
and the key must be cycled OFF, then back on, before
cranking is allowed.
Observe the instrument panel cluster lights when starting
the engine.
NOTE: Normal starting of either a cold or a warm engine
is obtained without pumping or pressing the accelerator
pedal.

20 STARTING AND OPERATING
Starting Fluids
The engine is equipped with a glow plug preheating
system. If the instructions in this manual are followed, the
engine should start in all conditions and no type of starting
fluid should be used.
WARNING!
• Do not leave children or animals inside parked
vehicles in hot weather. Interior heat build up may
cause serious injury or death.
• When leaving the vehicle, always remove the key fob
and lock your vehicle.
• Never leave children alone in a vehicle, or with
access to an unlocked vehicle. Allowing children to
be in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number
of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or
fatally injured. Children should be warned not to
touch the parking brake, brake pedal or the gear
selector. Do not leave the key fob in or near the
vehicle (or in a location accessible to children), A
child could operate power windows, other controls,
or move the vehicle.
Extreme Cold Weather
Your vehicle may be equipped with three heating elements;
one engine block heater (a resistance heater installed in the
water jacket of the engine) and two transmission heaters
(one resistance heater installed under the oil reservoir of
the hydraulic actuation system and one on the differential
cover of the transmission). To ensure reliable starting/
operating in extreme cold temperatures, use of an externally powered electric engine block/transmission heater
(available from your authorized dealer) is recommended.
They require a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a
grounded, three-wire extension cord. Their use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F
(-23°C). They should be used when the vehicle has not been
running overnight or longer periods and should be
plugged in two hours prior to start. Their use is required
for cold starts with temperatures under -17°F (-27°C).
NOTE: The engine is designed to work at an ambient
temperature ranging from -22°F to + 122°F (-30°C to +
50C°). Rubber, pipes, timing belt cover and electronic
devices are not designed to work out of this range.
In the case of LOW temperature after Starting, the Automated Manual Transmission may not be able to engage
first gear. In this case a message ⬙Shift not allowed⬙
appears. In this situation use the engine block heater.
NOTE: The engine and transmission block heater cord is a
factory installed option. If your vehicle is not equipped,
heater cords are available from your authorized Mopar
dealer.
• A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in
preventing fuel gelling. It is controlled by a built-in
thermostat.
• A Diesel Pre-Heat system both improves engine starting
and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a
warming engine.
STARTING AND OPERATING 21
NORMAL OPERATION
Observe the following when the diesel engine is operating.
• All message center lights are off.
• Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is off.
• Generic Warning Light is off.
• Engine Oil Pressure telltale is not illuminated.
Cold Weather Precautions
Operation in ambient temperature below 32°F (0°C) may
require special considerations. The following charts suggest these options:
4
22 STARTING AND OPERATING
Fuel Operating Range
NOTE: Use “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuels” ONLY.
Fuel Operating Range Chart
*No. 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel should only be used
where extended arctic conditions (0°F/-18°C) exist.
NOTE:
• Use of Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel or
Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel results in a
noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
• Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel is a blend of
Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur and Number 1 Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel Fuels which reduces the temperature at
which wax crystals form in fuel.
• The fuel grade should be clearly marked on the pump at
the fuel station.
• The engine requires the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel
Fuel”. Use of incorrect fuel could result in engine and
exhaust system damage. Refer to “Fuel Requirements”
in “Technical Specifications” for further information.
• If climatized or diesel Number 1 ULSD fuel is not
available, and you are operating below (20°F/-6°C), in
sustained arctic conditions, Mopar Premium Diesel Fuel
Treatment (or equivalent) is recommended to avoid
gelling (see Fuel Operating Range Chart).
Engine Oil Usage
Refer to “Dealer Service” in “Servicing And Maintenance”
for the correct engine oil viscosity.
STARTING AND OPERATING 23
Engine Warm-Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine is cold. When
starting a cold engine, bring the engine up to operating
speed slowly to allow the oil pressure to stabilize as the
engine warms up.
If temperatures are below 32°F (0°C), operate the engine at
moderate speeds for five minutes before full loads are
applied.
Engine Idling
Avoid prolonged idling, long periods of idling may be
harmful to your engine because combustion chamber temperatures can drop so low that the fuel may not burn
completely. Incomplete combustion allows carbon and
varnish to form on piston rings, cylinder head valves, and
injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the
crankcase, diluting the oil and causing rapid wear to the
engine.
4
24 STARTING AND OPERATING
Stopping The Diesel Engine
Idle the engine a few minutes before routine shutdown.
After full load operation, idle the engine three to five
minutes before shutting it down. This idle period will
allow the lubricating oil and coolant to carry excess heat
away from the combustion chamber, bearings, internal
components, and turbocharger. This is especially important
for turbocharged diesel engines.
NOTE: Refer to the following chart for proper engine
shutdown.

as possible. A chime will sound when the light turns on.
NOTE: Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is
corrected. This light does not show how much oil is in the
engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the
hood.
CAUTION!
If oil pressure falls to less than normal readings, shut
the engine off immediately. Failure to do so could
result in immediate and severe engine damage.
