This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with you\
r new RAM brand vehicle
and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions. Howev\
er, it is not a substitute for
your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and important safety messages,
please consult your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals and other Warning Labels in
your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on
accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada)
or your local RAM brand dealer.
Driving and Alcohol
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of collisions. 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 a collision. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes
are slower, and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink\
and
then drive.
IMPORTANT

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collisi\
on and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when \
using any
device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any\
electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and could lead to a serious collision.
Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while th\
e vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to v\
ehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of
cellular telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’\
s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
