DIESEL ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS
The diesel engine does not require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal
operation is allowed, providing the following recommendations are followed:
• 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.
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.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consistent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL
OILS MUST NEVER BE USED.

CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the engine
before you drain the water from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Separator Filter” in “Maintaining
Your Vehicle” in your Diesel Supplement on the DVD for further information.
Extreme Cold Weather
• The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed in the water jacket of the
engine. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, three-wire
extension cord.
• Its use is recommended for environments that routinely fall below -10°F. It should
be used when the vehicle has not been running overnight or longer periods and
should be plugged in two hours prior to start. Its use is required for cold starts with
temperatures under -20°F.
• 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.
NOTE:
The engine block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your vehicle is not
equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR
®dealer.
Water In Fuel Message
If a Water In Fuel message orindicator appears in the cluster and a chime
sounds five times, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to
prevent engine damage.
Refer to “Draining Fuel Water Separator” in this guide for draining instructions or see
your dealer.

CAUTION!
• Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an
appropriate container.
•
Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a possibility
debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to install
the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel system.
• If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the engine
before you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
EXHAUST REGENERATION
This engine meets all required EPA diesel engine emissions standards. To achieve
these emissions standards, your vehicle is equipped with a state-of-the-art engine
and exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly integrated into your vehicle and
managed by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). Additionally, 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 Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC).
Perform Service
Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remind you
when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) will
display “Perform Service”.
When the “Perform Service” message is displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to have
the emissions maintenance performed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now
This message Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) reached 80% of its
maximum storage capacity.
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 Exhaust Filter XX% Full
Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your
current driving condition until regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed

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
• Electronically-heated DEF lines• 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:
• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injection system. You may occasionally hear
an audible clicking noise. This is normal operation.
• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF
system. This is normal operation.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
The DEF gauge (located in the EVIC) will display the level of DEF remaining in the tank.
Completely fill the DEF tank through the diesel exhaust fluid fill location (located
behind the fuel door) at every maintenance interval or before if prompted by the
Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC).
NOTE:
• The gauge may take up to five seconds
to update after adding a gallon or more
of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the
DEF tank. If you have a fault related to
the DEF system, the gauge may not
update to the new level. See your au-
thorized dealer for service.
• The DEF gauge may also not immedi-
ately update after a refill if the tem-
perature of the DEF fluid is below 12°F
(-11°C). The DEF line heater will pos-
sibly warm up the DEF fluid and allow
the gauge to update after a period of
run time. Under very cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may not reflect
the new fill level for several drives.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS) which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure EVIC display illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving
on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect
the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD OR
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR.
NOTE:
After inflation, the vehicle may need to be driven for 20 minutes before the flashing light
will turn off.
WHAT TO DO IN EMERGENCIES
150

- Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system called
OBD II that monitors engine and automatic transmission control systems. The light
will illuminate when the key is in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb
does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition
checked promptly.
Certain conditions, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the light after engine start.
The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical
driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require
towing.
CAUTION!
Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on could cause
damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and
driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power
loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.
WARNING!
A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as referenced above, can reach higher tempera-
tures than in normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you drive slowly or
park over flammable substances such as dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could
result in death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or others.
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
The “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster will
come on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position. It should go out
with the engine running. If the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light” comes
on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in the
ESC system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has
been driven several miles (kilometers) at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see
your authorized dealer as soon as possible to have the problem diagnosed and
corrected.
NOTE:
• The “ESC Off Indicator Light” and the “ESC Activation/Malfunction Indicator
Light” come on momentarily each time the ignition switch is turned to ON/RUN.
• Each time the ignition is turned to ON/RUN, the ESC system will be ON, even if
it was turned off previously.
