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

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER LLC
Chrysler LLC and Cummins威 welcome you as a Cummins威 turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.
Almost 100% of all heavy duty trucks are diesel-powered
because of the fuel economy, rugged durability, and high
torque which permits 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.
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. 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.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Information Provided by:
STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering
wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle without the ignition key. If the steering wheel is moved
approximately a half turn in either direction and the key
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. Turn the
steering wheel slightly in either direction until the lock
engages.
To Release the Steering Wheel Lock
Insert the key in the ignition switch and start the engine.
If the key 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.
ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
The Cummins威 turbocharged diesel engine does not
require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal
operation is allowed, providing the following recommendations are followed:
NOTE: Light duty operation such as light trailer towing
or no load operation will extend the time before the
engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and
power may be seen at this time.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 7
Information Provided by:
For additional vehicle break-in requirements, refer to
“Trailer Towing” in Section 5 of the Owners Manual.
•
Warm up the engine before placing it under load.
•
Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged
periods.
•
Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent
engine lugging.
•
Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indicators.
•
Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.
•
Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carrying or towing significant weight.
Because of the construction of the Cummins威 turbocharged diesel engine, engine run-in is enhanced by
loaded operating conditions which allow the engine
parts to achieve final finish and fit during the first
6,000 miles (10 000 km).

1. Check Gages Warning Light
This light will illuminate when the voltmeter,
engine oil pressure, or engine coolant temperature
gauge indicates a reading either too high or too low.
Examine the gauges carefully, and follow the instructions
contained below for each indicated problem.
NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the
fuel gauge, voltmeter, oil pressure and engine coolant
temperature gauges may not show accurate readings.
When the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch
to ON to obtain accurate readings.
2. Voltmeter
When the engine is running, the gauge indicates
the electrical system voltage. The pointer should
stay within the normal range if the battery is charged. If
the pointer moves to either the extreme left or right, and
remains there during normal driving, the electrical system should be serviced.
NOTE:
•
If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of the
gauge, the “Check Gages Warning Light” will illuminate and a single chime will sound.
•
The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at various engine temperatures. This cycling operation is
caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold
heater system. The number of cycles and the length of
the cycling operation is controlled by the engine
control module. Post-heat operation can run for several minutes, and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will stabilize.
•
The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of
the headlights, interior lights, and also a noticeable
reduction in blower motor speed.
