charging Ram 1500 2019 User Guide

CAUTION!
Do not connect jumper cable to any of the fuses on the
positive battery terminal. The resulting electrical cur-
rent will blow the fuse.
6. Once the engine is started, remove the jumper cables in the reverse sequence:
Disconnecting The Jumper Cables
1. Disconnect the negative (-)end of the jumper cable from
the engine ground of the vehicle with the discharged
battery.
2. Disconnect the opposite end of the negative (-)jumper
cable from the negative (-)post of the booster battery.
3. Disconnect the positive (+)end of the jumper cable from
the positive (+)post of the booster battery.
4. Disconnect the opposite end of the positive (+)jumper
cable from the positive (+)post of the vehicle with the
discharged battery.
If frequent jump starting is required to start your vehicle
you should have the battery and charging system in-
spected at an authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
Accessories plugged into the vehicle power outlets
draw power from the vehicle’s battery, even when not
in use (i.e., cellular devices, etc.). Eventually, if plugged
in long enough without engine operation, the vehicle’s
battery will discharge sufficiently to degrade battery
life and/or prevent the engine from starting.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate action.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission in
NEUTRAL, but do not increase the engine idle speed
while preventing vehicle motion with the brakes.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down an
impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.7
IN CASE OF EMERGENCY 477

IPOD/USB/MP3 CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED
Located on the center stack, just below the instrument
panel, is the main media hub. There are four total USB
Ports : Two Mini-USBs (Type C) and two Standard USBs
(Type A). There is also an AUX Port located in the middle
of the USB Ports. All four of the USB Ports include a USB
Trident and a numerical value one through three, which
indicates that the vehicle can support three fully-
functioning USB Ports at a time. Each USB Port will
support media and charging simultaneously.
NOTE:
•The Type C USB port is the primary media port for the
radio. Two devices can be plugged in at the same time
and both ports provide charging capabilities, but only
one port can transfer data to the head unit at a time.
• Both ports share a single data connection. However, the
user cannot switch between Type A or Type C. For example, if a device is plugged into the Type A USB
port and another device is plugged into the Type C port,
connection to the Type A port will be lost. Alternatively, if
a device is plugged into the Type C port and another device
is plugged into the Type A port, the Type C device
maintains primary connection.

If equipped, two Mini-USB Ports (Type C), two Standard
USB Ports (Type A), and one AUX Port may be located to
the left of the center stack, just below the climate controls.
Some USB ports support media and charging. You can use
features, such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Pandora
and others while charging your phone.NOTE:
Plugging in a phone or another USB device may
cause the connection to a previous device to be lost.
For further information, refer to the Uconnect Owner ’s
Manual Supplement or visit UconnectPhone.com.
RADIO OPERATION AND MOBILE PHONES
Under certain conditions, the mobile phone being on in
your vehicle can cause erratic or noisy performance from
your radio. This condition may be lessened or eliminated
by relocating the mobile phone antenna. This condition is
not harmful to the radio. If your radio performance does
not satisfactorily “clear” by the repositioning of the an-
tenna, it is recommended that the radio volume be turned
down or off during mobile phone operation when not
using Uconnect (if equipped).
