towing RAM CHASSIS CAB 2023 Owners Manual

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident 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 accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devote your full attention to vehicle 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.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Ram brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit mopar.com/om (USA), owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Ram brand dealer.

DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. 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 an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.
WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway
motor vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates,
and lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except
as necessary, service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently
when servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.

Slide-On-Rod Extender

NOTE:The sun visor can also be extended while the sun
visor is against the windshield for additional sun
blockage through the front of the vehicle.

The outside mirror(s) can be adjusted to the center
of the adjacent lane of traffic to achieve the
optimal view.
NOTE:If your vehicle is equipped with puddle lamps
under the outside mirrors, they can be turned off
through the Uconnect system Ú page 199.
Trailer Tow Telescoping Mirrors
Your vehicle may be equipped with manual or
power trailer telescoping mirrors. These mirrors
are designed with an adjustable mirror head that
can be extended when trailering to provide a
greater vision range when towing extra-wide loads.
Power Telescoping Mirrors
The Power Telescoping Mirror Switch is located on
the door trim panel, above the power mirror
controls. The switch enables the driver to extend or
retract the mirror head.
Power Telescoping Mirror Switch

To adjust the outside mirrors, push the Telescoping
Mirror Switch. Use the left and right arrows on the
directional button to move both driver’s and passenger
mirrors outward or inward to desired position.

Power Telescoping Mirror Switch a second time.
WARNING!
Vehicles and other objects seen in the driver or
passenger side convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than they really are. Relying
only on the convex mirror could cause you to
collide with another vehicle or other object. Use
your inside mirror when judging the size or
distance of a vehicle seen in the convex mirror.

LUSTER DESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed
in revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Voltmeter
When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the
gauge indicates the electrical system
voltage. The pointer should stay within the
normal range if the battery is charged. If the
pointer moves to either extreme left or right
and remains there during normal driving,
the electrical system should be serviced.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, this
display shows the instrument cluster
display messages Ú page 89.
The display always shows one of the main
menu item after the ignition is placed on.
4. Oil Pressure Gauge
The pointer should always indicate the oil
pressure when the engine is running. A
continuous high or low reading under
normal driving conditions may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immediate
service should be obtained from an autho
-
rized dealer.
5. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Temperature Gauge
The gauge pointer shows engine coolant
temperature. The pointer positioned within
the normal range indicates that the engine
cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
The gauge pointer will likely indicate a
higher temperature when driving in hot
weather, up mountain grades, or when
towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal oper -
ating range. 7. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the
fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN
position.
 The fuel pump symbol points to
the side of the vehicle where the
fuel door is located.
NOTE:The Instrument Cluster Warning Indicators will illu -
minate briefly for a bulb check when the ignition is
first cycled.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or
others could be badly burned by steam or boiling
coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized
dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. If you
decide to look under the hood yourself, Follow
the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure
Cap paragraph Ú page 368.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could
damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge
reads “H,” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the
vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until
the pointer drops back into the normal range. If
the pointer remains on the “H,” turn the engine
off immediately and call an authorized dealer for
service.

designed to display important information about
your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver
interactive display located on the instrument
panel, your instrument cluster display can show
you how systems are working and give you
