For more information on ATC, MTC, and climate
control settings, see Ú page 61.
NOTE:These features will stay on through the duration of
Remote Start, or until the ignition is placed in the
ON/RUN position. The climate control settings will
change if manually adjusted by the driver while the
vehicle is in remote start mode. This includes
turning the climate controls off using the OFF
button.

D
E-ICER ACTIVATION — IF EQUIPPED
When Remote Start is active and the outside
ambient temperature is less than 33°F (0.6°C),
the Windshield Wiper De-Icer will activate. Exiting
Remote Start will resume previous operation. If the
Windshield Wiper De-Icer was active, the
Windshield Wiper De-Icer timer and operation will
continue.
REMOTE START CANCEL MESSAGE
The following messages will display in the
instrument cluster if the vehicle fails to remote
start or exits Remote Start prematurely:
Remote Start Canceled — Door Open
Remote Start Canceled — Hood Open
Remote Start Canceled — Fuel Low
Remote Start Canceled — Tailgate Open
Remote Start Canceled — Time Expired
Remote Start Disabled — Start Vehicle To Reset
The message will stay active until the ignition is
placed in the ON/RUN position.
REMOTE START — IF EQUIPPED (DIESEL)
This system uses the key fob to start the
engine conveniently from outside the
vehicle while still maintaining security.
The system has a range of approximately
328 ft (100 m).
Remote Start is used to defrost windows in cold
weather, and to reach a comfortable climate in all
ambient conditions before the driver enters the
vehicle.
NOTE:
The vehicle must be equipped with an auto -
matic transmission to be equipped with Remote
Start.
Obstructions between the vehicle and the key
fob may reduce this range.
The Remote Start system will wait for the Wait
To Start yellow telltale to extinguish before
cranking the engine Ú page 132. This allows
time for the engine preheat cycle to heat the
cylinder air, and is normal in cold weather.
HOW TO USE REMOTE START
Push and release the Remote Start button on the
key fob twice within five seconds. The vehicle
doors and tailgate will lock, the turn signals will
flash twice, and the horn will chirp twice. Pushing
the Remote Start button again will shut the engine
off.
NOTE:
With Remote Start, the engine will only run for
15 minutes.
Remote Start can only be used twice.
If an engine fault is present or fuel level is low,
the vehicle will start and then shut down in 10
seconds.
WARNING!
Do not start or run an engine in a closed
garage or confined area. Exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide (CO) which is odorless and
colorless. Carbon monoxide is poisonous and
can cause serious injury or death when
inhaled.
Keep key fobs away from children. Operation
of the Remote Start system, windows, door
locks or other controls could cause serious
injury or death.

Power Inverter Switch (If Equipped)
Exterior Truck Bed Power Inverter (If Equipped)

NOTE:400 W is the maximum for the inverter, not each
outlet. If two outlets are in use, 400 W is shared
among the devices plugged in. The power inverter is designed with built-in
overload protection. If the power rating of 400 W is
exceeded, the power inverter automatically shuts
down. Once the electrical device has been
removed from the outlet, the inverter should
automatically reset.
NOTE:
The Power Inverter will only turn on if the ignition
is in the ACC or ON/RUN position.
Due to built-in overload protection, the power
inverter will turn off if the power rating is
exceeded.
AUXILIARY SWITCHES — IF EQUIPPED
Four auxiliary switches are located in the lower
switch bank of the instrument panel and can be
used to power various electrical devices.The functionality of the auxiliary switches can be
changed via the Uconnect Settings. All switches
can be configured for setting the switch type
operation to latching or momentary, power source
of either battery or ignition, and ability to hold last
state across key cycles.

Auxiliary Switches

NOTE:Holding last state conditions are met when switch
type is set to latching and power source is set to
ignition within Uconnect Settings Ú page 215.
The auxiliary switches manage the relays that
power four blunt cut wires. These wires are located
under the instrument panel in the passenger
compartment and under the hood to the right, near
the battery.
WARNING!
To avoid serious injury or death:
Do not insert any objects into the receptacles.
Do not touch with wet hands.
Close the lid when not in use.
If this outlet is mishandled, it may cause an
electric shock and failure.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL129
Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to
additional maintenance required on your vehicle or
engine. Refer to the following messages that may
be displayed on your instrument cluster display:
Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at
Consistent Speeds to Clear — This message will
be displayed if the exhaust particulate filter
reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Under conditions of exclusive short duration
and low speed driving cycles, your diesel engine
and exhaust after-treatment system may never
reach the conditions required to cleanse the
filter to remove the trapped PM. If this occurs,
the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at
Highway Speeds to Remedy” message will be
displayed. If this message is displayed, you will
hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this
condition. By simply driving your vehicle at
highway speeds for up to 20 minutes, you can
remedy the condition in the particulate filter
system and allow your diesel engine and
exhaust after-treatment system to cleanse the
filter to remove the trapped PM and restore the
system to normal operating condition.
Exhaust System Regeneration in Process
Continue Driving — This message indicates that
the DPF is self-cleaning. Maintain your current
driving condition until regeneration is
completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed —
This message indicates that the DPF
self-cleaning is completed. If this message is
displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in
alerting you of this condition.
Exhaust System Service Required —
See Dealer — This message indicates regenera -
tion has been disabled due to a system malfunc -
tion. At this point the engine Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) will register a fault code, the
instrument panel will display a Malfunction Indi -
cator Light (MIL) light.
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced
See Dealer — This message indicates the PCM
has derated the engine to limit the likelihood of
permanent damage to the after-treatment
system. If this condition is not corrected and a
dealer service is not performed, extensive
exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To
correct this condition it will be necessary to have
your vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.
NOTE:Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing
your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by
0 miles (0 kilometers) remaining will prevent the
diesel exhaust filter from performing its cleaning
routine. This will shortly result in a Malfunction
Indicator Light (MIL) and reduced engine power.
Only an authorized dealer will be able to correct
this condition.
CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with continued
operation.CAUTION!
See an authorized dealer, as damage to the
exhaust system could occur soon with continued
operation.
