Child Restraint

time — babies and children, too. Every state in the United
States and all Canadian provinces require that small
children ride in proper restraint systems. This is the law,
and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it. THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE 59

29. Low Fuel Warning Light
Glows when the pointer is between “E” and 1/8
indication mark (approximately 15% of tank vol-
ume) on the fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge
pointer is on “E” (equivalent to Distance To Empty [DTE]
= 0 on the overhead console if so equipped) there is
reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approxi-
mately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put
in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running
out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions
in areas where there aren’t many gas stations. (See page
136 for more information.)
Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows:
• 52 gallons - Standard Rear Tank
• 22 gallons - Optional Mid Ship Tank 30. Door Ajar
The Door Ajar light will illuminate when any door is
opened. When the ignition is ON the Door Ajar light will
stay illuminated until the open door is closed. When the
ignition is OFF the Door Ajar light will stay illuminated
until the open door is closed or the battery saver feature
automatically turns the light off.
31. CRUISE Light
This indicator lights when the electronic speed control
system is turned on.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK
The clock and radio each use the display panel built into
the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or
time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio
model) whenever the ignition switch is in the “ON” or
“ACC” position.180 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

POWER TAKE OFF OPERATION – IF EQUIPPED
The 3500 Dodge Chassis Cab vehicle, when equipped
with either the automatic 6 speed or manual G-56 6 speed
transmissions, will allow for an aftermarket upfit with a
transmission driven PTO (power take off). The customer
will have the ability to operate the PTO in either a
“stationary” or “mobile” mode. The vehicles will be
factory set to the “stationary” mode. In order to select the
“mobile” mode a DaimlerChrysler Dealership is required
to modify the vehicles settings using their proprietary
Dealer service tool.
Stationary Mode
To operate the PTO in this mode the vehicle must meet
the following conditions:
• Be in “park” position (vehicles equipped with auto-
matic transmission)
• Upfitter provider (on/off) switch has been activated • Parking brake applied (vehicles equipped with
manual transmission)
• Vehicle must be running
• No vehicle, brake or clutch switch faults present
• PTO must be correctly installed using the vehicle
provided circuits
The customer has the choice to operate the PTO by
utilizing the cruise control switches or by utilizing a
remote control (provided by the PTO supplier). To oper-
ate the feature using the cruise control switches the
customer must first activate the up fitter provided on/off
switch. Next, the cruise control “on” switch is selected.
Following this step the “set” switch must be depressed.
The vehicle is now in the PTO mode and is ready for use.
In order to increase or decrease the engine idle speed, to
optimize the PTO function, the “accel” and “decel” cruise
switches can be used respectively. To disengage PTO296 STARTING AND OPERATING
