warning Ram 1500 2014 Get to Know Guide 

REAR HEATED SEATS
The rear heated seat switches are located
on the rear of the center console.
• Press the switch once to select High-level heating.
• Press the switch a second time to select Low-level heating.
• Press the switch a third time to shut the heating elements off.
When the HIGH-level setting is selected,
the heater will provide a boosted heat
level during the first four minutes of op-
eration. Then, the heat output will drop to
the normal HIGH-level. If the HIGH-level
setting is selected, the system will auto-
matically switch to LOW-level after a
maximum of 60 minutes of continuous
operation. At that time, the number of
illuminated LEDs changes from two to
one, indicating the change. The LOW-
level setting will turn OFF automatically after a maximum of 45 minutes.
WARNING!
• Persons who are unable to feel pain to the skin because of advanced age, chronic illness, diabetes, spinal cord injury, medication, alcohol use, exhaus-
tion or other physical conditions must exercise care when using the seat heater.
It may cause burns even at low temperatures, especially if used for long periods
of time.
• Do not place anything on the seat that insulates against heat, such as a blanket
or cushion. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. Sitting in a seat that
has been overheated could cause serious burns due to the increased surface
temperature of the seat.

fascia/bumper in the horizontal direction, depending on the location, type and
orientation of the obstacle.
The six ParkSense
®sensors, located in the front fascia/bumper, monitor the area in

cloth. Do not use rough or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the sensors. Otherwise,
you could damage the sensors.
NOTE:
When the Instrument Cluster reads either Clean Sensor or Blinded, please clean off
the bumper sensors to see if the condition is corrected.
PARKVIEW® REAR BACK-UP CAMERA

®
camera located to the left of the tailgate handle.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up; even when using the ParkView®Rear
Back-Up Camera. Always check carefully behind your vehicle, and be sure to
check for pedestrians, animals, other vehicles, obstructions, or blind spots before
backing up. You must continue to pay attention while backing up. Failure to do so
can result in serious injury or death.

Pinch Protection Feature
This feature will detect an obstruction in the opening of the sunroof during Express
Close operation. If an obstruction in the path of the sunroof is detected, the sunroof
will automatically retract. Remove the obstruction if this occurs. Next, press the
switch forward and release to Express Close.
NOTE:
If three consecutive sunroof close attempts result in Pinch Protect reversals, the
fourth close attempt will be a Manual Close movement with Pinch Protect disabled.
WARNING!
•Do not let children play with the sunroof. Never leave children unattended in a
vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Do not leave the Key Fob in or near
the vehicle, and do not leave the ignition of a vehicle equipped with Keyless
Enter-N-Go™ in the ACC or ON/RUN mode. Occupants, particularly unattended
children, can become entrapped by the power sunroof while operating the power
sunroof switch. Such entrapment may result in serious injury or death.
• In a collision, there is a greater risk of being thrown from a vehicle with an opensunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed. Always fasten your seat
belt properly and make sure all passengers are properly secured.
•
Do not allow small children to operate the sunroof. Never allow your fingers, other
body parts, or any object to project through the sunroof opening. Injury may result.
WIND BUFFETING
Wind buffeting can be described as a helicopter-type percussion sound. If buffeting
occurs with the rear windows open, adjust the front and rear windows together.
If buffeting occurs with the sunroof open, adjust the sunroof opening, or adjust any
window. This will minimize buffeting.
