THEFT ALARM
To Arm
• Press the Key Fob LOCK button or the power door lock switch while the door
is open.
To Disarm
• Press the Key Fob UNLOCK button and turn the ignition to the ON/RUN
position.
SEAT BELT
• Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly.
• Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack
in the lap portion, pull up a bit on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it
is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the
risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
• Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not
resting on your neck. The retractor will withdraw any slack in the belt.
• A shoulder belt placed behind you will not protect you from injury during a
collision. You are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear
your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together.
• A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly. In a sudden stop you
could move too far forward, increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat
belt snugly.
• A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no
protection. Inspect the belt system periodically, checking for cuts, frays, or
loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately. Do not
disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision if they have been damaged (bent retractor, torn webbing, etc.).
• The seat belts for both front seating positions may be equipped with
pretensioning devices that are designed to remove slack from the seat belt in
the event of a collision.
• A deployed pretensioner or a deployed airbag must be replaced immediately.
WARNING!
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if
you are not buckled up properly. You can strike the interior of your vehicle
or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be
sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly.

GETTING STARTED
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) — AIRBAGS
• This vehicle has Advanced Front Airbags for both the driver and right front
passenger as a supplement to the seat belt restraint system. The Advanced
Front Airbags will not deploy in every type of collision.
• Advanced Front Airbags are designed to provide additional protection by
supplementing the seat belts in certain frontal collisions depending on the
severity and type of collision. Advanced Front Airbags are not expected to
reduce the risk of injury in rear, side, or rollover collisions.
• If the Airbag Warning Light
while driving, have the vehicle serviced by an authorized service center
immediately.
• Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details regarding the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS).
• Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a
collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In
some collisions, the airbags won't deploy at all. Always wear your seat
belts even though you have airbags.
• Being too close to the steering wheel or instrument panel during
Advanced Front Airbag deployment could cause serious injury, including
death. Airbags need room to inflate. Sit back, comfortably extending your
arms to reach the steering wheel or instrument panel.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains need room to inflate. Do not
lean against the door or window. Sit upright in the center of the seat.
• Being too close to the Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain during
deployment could cause you to be severely injured or killed.
• Do not drive your vehicle after the airbags have deployed. If you are
involved in another collision, the airbags will not be in place to protect
you.
• After any collision, the vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer
immediately.

WARNING!
CHILD RESTRAINTS
• Children 12 years and under should ride properly buckled up in a rear seat, if
available. According to crash statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seats rather than in the front.
• Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law, and you can be
prosecuted for ignoring it.

GETTING STARTED
Installing The LATCH - Compatible Child Restraint System
• Your vehicle’s second row passenger seats are equipped with the child
restraint anchorage system called LATCH, which stands for Lower Anchors
and Tether for CHildren. LATCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed
in the rear seat outboard positions.
• LATCH equipped seating positions have both lower anchor bars, located at
the back of the seat cushion, and tether strap anchorages, located behind the
seat back.
Installing The Lower Attachments:
• The vehicle lower anchorages are round bars located at the rear of the seat
cushion where it meets the seatback. The rear seat lower anchors can be
readily identified by the symbol
anchorages and are just visible when you lean into the rear seat to install the
child restraint.
located on the seatback directly above the
• Loosen the child seat adjusters on
the lower straps and on the tether
strap so that you can more easily
attach the hooks or connectors to
the vehicle anchors.
• Attach the lower hooks or
connectors over the top of the
seatcover material.
• Then tighten the straps as you push
the child restraint rearward and
downward into the seat.
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) Regular Cab - Front Seat:
• Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will
reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat.
• Lift the cover (if so equipped), and
attach the hook to the square
opening in the sheet metal.
• Install the child restraint and remove
the slack in the tether strap
according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
12
GETTING STARTED
Installing The Top Tether Strap (With Either Lower Anchors Or Vehicle Seat Belt) Crew Cab - Rear Seats:
• Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the
rear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band.
Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly improved by raising the seat cushion
to the “up” position. Remove the elastic before use.
• Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap
so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly
behind the seat and then to the anchor directly behind the center rear seat.
• Pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of
webbing behind the child seat.
• Route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach the
anchor loops.
• Place a child restraint on the center rear seat and adjust the tether strap so
that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind
the seat and to the anchor directly behind the right seat.
• Install the child restraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.

6. Driver's Side Rear Child Seat
Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the
retractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the
latch plate into the buckle.
• Next, extract all the seat belt webbing out of the retractor and then allow the
belt to retract into the retractor. Finally, pull on any excess webbing to tighten
the lap portion around the child restraint. Any seat belt system will loosen with
time, so check the belt occasionally, and pull it tight if necessary.
• Route the tether strap to provide the most direct path for the strap between
the anchor and the child seat, preferably between the head restraint posts
underneath the head restraint.
• Attach the tether strap hook of the child restraint to the tether anchor and
remove slack in the tether strap according to the child restraint manufacturer’s
instructions.
13
GETTING STARTED
NOTE: Ensure that the tether strap does not slip into the opening between the
seatbacks as you remove slack in the strap.
WARNING!
• In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby, can become a
projectile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on
your lap could become so great that you could not hold the child, no
matter how strong you are. The child and others could be severely
injured or killed. Any child riding in your vehicle should be in a proper
restraint for the child's size.
• Improper installation of a child restraint to the LATCH anchorages can
lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be severely
injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when
installing an infant or child restraint.
• An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to increased head motion
and possible injury to the child. Use only the anchor positions directly
behind the child seat to secure a child restraint top tether strap.
• Rearward-facing child seats must never be used in the front seat of a
vehicle with a front passenger airbag. An airbag deployment could cause
infants in this position to be severely injured or killed.

changing the right front tire, block
the left rear wheel.
Hub Caps/Wheel Covers — If Equipped
• The hub caps must be removed
before raising the vehicle off the
ground.
• For single rear-wheel (SRW) models, use the blade on the end of the lug
wrench to pry the hub cap off. Insert the blade end into the pry-off notch and
carefully pop off the hub cap with a back-and-forth motion.
•
On models with dual rear wheels (DRW), position the hook on the jack handle
driver into the notch on the hub cap and pull out firmly. The hub cap should pop
off. The wheel skins can now be removed. For the front hub cap, use the blade
on the end of the lug wrench to pry the caps off. The wheel skins can now be
removed by using the flat end of the lug wrench to pry them off. Insert the flat
tip completely and using a back-and-forth motion, loosen the wheel skin.
NOTE: Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being
jacked.
Jacking And Tire Changing Instructions
• Remove the spare tire, jack and tools from the stored location.
• Loosen (but do not remove) the wheel lug nuts by turning them
counterclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• Assemble the jack and jacking tools. Connect the jack handle driver to the
extension, then to the lug wrench.
• Place the jack:
• For front wheels, place the jack
under the axle as close to the tire as
possible, with the drive tubes
extending to the front.
54
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
• For rear wheels, place the jack
under the sway bar bracket (unless
both tires are flat on one side, then
place jack under shock bracket)
facing forward in vehicle.
• Turn the jack screw clockwise to
firmly engage the jack saddle with
the lift area.
• Raise the vehicle by turning the jack
screw clockwise. Raise the vehicle
only until the tire just clears the
surface and enough clearance is
obtained to install the spare tire.
• Remove the lug nuts and wheel.
• Position the spare wheel/tire on the vehicle and install the lug nuts with the
cone-shaped end toward the wheel. Lightly tighten the lug nuts clockwise. To
avoid the risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack, do not tighten the nuts fully
until the vehicle has been lowered.
• Lower the vehicle by turning the jack screw counterclockwise, and remove the
jack and wheel blocks.
NOTE: If the jack will not lower by turning the screw by hand, it may be necessary
to use the jack drive tube in order to lower the jack.
• Finish tightening the lug nuts using a crisscross pattern. Push down on the
wrench while tightening for increased leverage. The correct wheel nut
tightness is:
• 135 ft lbs (183 N·m) torque for single rear-wheel (SRW) models,
• 145 ft lbs (197 N·m) for dual rear-wheel (DRW) models.
• If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque
wrench by your authorized dealer or at a service station.
• Install the wheel center cap and remove the wheel blocks. Do not install
chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the spare wheel. This may result in
cap damage.
• Secure the tire, jack, and tools in their proper locations.
• Position the wheel so that the valve stem is facing the ground. Slide the wheel
retainer through the center of the wheel and position it properly across the
wheel opening.
CAUTION!
Before raising the wheel off the ground, make sure that the jack will not
damage surrounding truck parts and adjust the jack position as required.
55
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
WARNING!
• Do not attempt to change a tire on the side of the vehicle close to moving
traffic. Pull far enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when
operating the jack or changing the wheel.
• Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off
the jack and fall on you. You could be crushed. Never get any part of your
body under a vehicle that is on a jack. If you need to get under a raised
vehicle, take it to a service center where it can be raised on a lift.
• The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only. The jack
should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes. The vehicle
should be jacked on a firm, level surface only. Avoid ice or slippery areas.
• If it is necessary to retrieve the spare tire from under the vehicle on the
side of the vehicle close to moving traffic, pull far enough off the road to
avoid the danger of being hit.
Carefully follow these tire changing procedures to help prevent personal
injury or damage to your vehicle: Always park on a firm, level surface as far
from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle.
• Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle less
stable and could cause it to slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove the tire.
• A loose tire or jack, thrown forward in a collision or hard stop, could
endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the jack parts and
the spare tire in the places provided.

• Take care to avoid the radiator cooling fan whenever the hood is raised. It
can start anytime the ignition switch is on. You can be injured by moving
fan blades.
• Remove any metal jewelry, such as watch bands or bracelets, that might
make an inadvertent electrical contact. You could be severely injured.
• Batteries contain sulfuric acid that can burn your skin or eyes and
generate hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. Keep open
flames or sparks away from the battery.
• Do not allow vehicles to touch each other as this could establish a
ground connection and personal injury could result.
• Failure to follow this procedure could result in personal injury or property
damage due to battery explosion.
• Do not connect the cable to the negative post (-) of the discharged
battery. The resulting electrical spark could cause the battery to explode
and could result in personal injury.
EMERGENCY TOW HOOKS
• If your vehicle is equipped with tow hooks, they are mounted in the front.
• For off-road recovery, it is recommended to use both of the front tow hooks to
minimize the risk of damage to the vehicle.
CAUTION!
Tow hooks are for emergency use only, to rescue a vehicle stranded
off-road. Do not use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing.

WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
FREEING A STUCK VEHICLE
• If your vehicle becomes stuck in mud, sand or snow, it can often be moved by
a rocking motion. Turn your steering wheel right and left to clear the area
around the front wheels. Then, move the shift lever back and forth between
REVERSE and DRIVE. Using minimal accelerator pedal pressure to maintain
the rocking motion, without spinning the wheels, is most effective.
• Allow the engine to idle with the transmission shift lever in NEUTRAL for at
least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize
overheating and reduce the risk of transmission failure during prolonged
efforts to free a stuck vehicle.
NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) or
Traction Control
Revving the engine or spinning the wheels too fast may lead to
transmission overheating and failure. It can also damage the tires. Do not
spin the wheels above 30 mph (48 km/h) while in gear (no transmission
shifting occurring).
Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces generated by excessive
wheel speeds may cause tire damage or failure. A tire could explode and
injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle's wheels faster than 30 mph
(48 km/h) when you are stuck. Do not let anyone near a spinning wheel, no
matter what the speed.
, turn the system off before attempting to “rock” the vehicle.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
62
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
EVENT DATA RECORDER (EDR)
• This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose
of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as
an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in
understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to
record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
• These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no
personal data (e.g. name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However,
other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type
of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation.
• To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) sometimes known simply by the name of its active
component, UREA—is a key component of selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
systems, which help diesel vehicles meet stringent emission regulations. DEF
is a liquid reducing agent that reacts with engine exhaust in the presence of a
catalyst to convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen
and water vapor.
• Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction system in order
to meet the very stringent diesel emissions standards required by the
Environmental Protection Agency. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is the
first and only technology in decades to be as good for the environment as it is
good for business and vehicle performance.
• The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels of NOx (oxides of nitrogen
emitted from engines) that are harmful to our health and the environment to an
almost near-zero level. Small quantities of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) are
injected into the exhaust upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized,
convert smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into harmless nitrogen (N2) and
water vapor (H2O), two natural components of the air we breathe. You can
operate with the comfort that your vehicle is contributing to a cleaner, healthier
world environment for this and generations to come.
System Overview
• This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) injection system
and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission
requirements.
• The DEF injection system consists of the following components:
• DEF tank
• DEF pump
• DEF injector
• DEF control module
• NOx sensors
• Temperature sensors
• SCR catalyst
• The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst enable the achievement of diesel
emissions requirements; while maintaining outstanding fuel economy,
drivability, torque and power ratings.
NOTE: The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge
the DEF system. This is normal operation.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid Storage
• Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is considered a very stable product with a long
shelf life. If DEF is kept in temperatures between 10° to 90°F (-12° to 32°C), it
will last a minimum of one year.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
• DEF is subject to freezing at the lowest temperatures. For example, DEF may
freeze at temperatures at or below 12° F (-11° C). The system has been
designed to operate in this environment.
NOTE: When working with DEF, it is important to know that:
• Any containers or parts that come into contact with DEF must be DEF
compatible (plastic or stainless steel). Copper, brass, aluminum, iron or
non-stainless steel should be avoided as they are subject to corrosion by DEF.
• If DEF is spilled, it should be wiped up completely.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
• The DEF gauge (located on the EVIC display) will display the level of DEF
remaining in the tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 75%, add approximately 2.5 gallons (9.5 Liters) to
fill the DEF tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 50%, add approximately 4 gallons (15 Liters) to fill
the DEF tank.
• When the DEF gauge reads 25%, add approximately 6 gallons (23 Liters) to fill
the DEF tank.
NOTE: Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the
amount of DEF that is used in your vehicle.
DEF Fill Procedure
• Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of the vehicle).
• Insert DEF container into DEF tank.
CAUTION!
•
To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.
•
When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild solvent.
• Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.

Use good quality diesel fuel
from a reputable supplier in
your vehicle. Federal law
requires that you must fuel this
vehicle with Ultra Low Sulfur
Highway Diesel fuel (15 ppm
Sulfur maximum) and prohibits
the use of Low Sulfur Highway
Diesel fuel (500 ppm Sulfur
maximum) to avoid damage to
the emissions control system.
For most year-round service,
No. 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-975 Grade S15
will provide good performance.
If the vehicle is exposed to
extreme cold (below 20°F or
-7°C), or is required to operate
at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged
periods, use climatized No. 2
diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2
diesel fuel with 50% No. 1
diesel fuel. This will provide
better protection from fuel
gelling or wax-plugging of the
fuel filters. This vehicle is fully
compatible with biodiesel
blends up to 5% biodiesel
meeting ASTM specification
D-975.

• When installing the integrated power module cover, it is important to
ensure the cover is properly positioned and fully latched. Failure to do so
may allow water to get into the integrated power module and possibly
result in a electrical system failure.
• When replacing a blown fuse, it is important to use only a fuse having the
correct amperage rating. The use of a fuse with a rating other than
indicated may result in a dangerous electrical system overload. If a
properly rated fuse continues to blow, it indicates a problem in the circuit
that must be corrected.
TIRE PRESSURES
• Check the inflation pressure of each tire, including the spare tire, at least
monthly and inflate to the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
• The tire pressures recommended for your vehicle are found on the “Tire and
Loading Information” label located on the driver’s side door opening.
NOTE: Refer to the Owner's Manual on the DVD for more information regarding
tire warnings and instructions.
TPM/RR View
WARNING!
• Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure,
affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of
the recommended load capacity for your vehicle. Never overload them.
• Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause collisions.
Under-inflation is the leading cause of tire failure and may result in severe
cracking, component separation, or “blow out”. Over-inflation reduces a
tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuck holes can
cause damage that results in tire failure. Unequal tire pressures can
cause steering problems. You could lose control of your vehicle.
Over-inflated or under-inflated tires can affect vehicle handling and can
fail suddenly, resulting in loss of vehicle control.

MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE
WHEEL AND WHEEL TRIM CARE
• All wheels and wheel trim, especially aluminum and chrome plated wheels,
should be cleaned regularly with a mild soap and water to prevent corrosion.
®
• To remove heavy soil and/or excessive brake dust, use MOPAR
Cleaner or equivalent or select a non-abrasive, non-acidic cleaner.
CAUTION!
Do not use scouring pads, steel wool, a bristle brush, or metal polishes. Do
not use oven cleaner. These products may damage the wheel's protective
finish. Avoid automatic car washes that use acidic solutions or harsh
brushes that may damage the wheel's protective finish. Only MOPAR
Wheel Cleaner or equivalent is recommended.
