This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your 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 import\
ant safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals found on the website on the back c\
over 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 mini\
mum. 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 a\
nd then drive.
IMPORTANT
Get warranty and other information online – you can review and print \
or download a copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals and the limited warranties provided by FCA US LLC for your
vehicle by visiting www.mopar.com (U.S.) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canada). Click on the applicable
link in the “Popular Topics” area of the www.mopar.com (U.S.) or www.owners.mopar.ca (Canada)
homepage and follow the instructions to select the applicable year, make and model of your vehicle.
This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important featur\
es of your vehicle. Your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals and Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the
back cover of your User Guide. We hope you find these resources useful. U.S. residents can purchase

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 collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the
driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may tak\
e 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 coul\
d lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehic\
le 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 telephone\
s or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
