IMPORTANT
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving w\
hile
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collisi\
on and personal
injury. Chrysler Group LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme cau\
tion
when using any device or feature that may take their attention off the r\
oad. Use of any
electrical devices such as cell phones, computers, portable radios, vehi\
cle 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 the vehicle is moving. If you find yourself unable to devot\
e 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.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 th\
e 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.
This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with
your new RAM and to provide a convenient reference source for common
questions. However, 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

LED light will turn off once the 9-1-1 call is terminated. Have an authorized
dealer service the vehicle if the Rearview Mirror light is continuously red. If a
connection is made between a 9-1-1 operator and your vehicle, you understand and
agree that 9-1-1 operators may, like any other 9-1-1 call, record conversations and
sounds in and near your vehicle upon connection.

4.Voice Texting – Use the sound of your voice to create, listen to and send text
messages. Just tell Uconnect®what you want the message to say - it will convert
your voice to text and send the message at your command. Powerful, cloud-based
voice recognition allows you to dictate free form text messages, and send them
from your Bluetooth - enabled phone without taking your hands of the wheel or
focus from the road. Requires a cell phone that supports Bluetooth Message

WARNING!
• ALWAYS drive safely with your hands on the steering wheel. You have full responsibility and assume all risks related to the use of the Uconnect®features
and applications in this vehicle. Only use Uconnect®when it is safe to do so.
Failure to do so may result in an accident involving serious injury or death.
• Ignoring the Rearview Mirror light could mean you may not have 9-1-1 Call
service when you need it. If the Rearview Mirror light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service the 9-1-1 Call system immediately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning Light on
the instrument panel if a malfunction is detected in any part of the air bag
system. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, the air bag system may not
be working properly and the 9-1-1 system may not be able to send a signal to
a 9-1-1 operator. If the Air Bag Warning Light is illuminated, have an
authorized dealer service your vehicle immediately.
• If anyone in the vehicle could be in danger (e.g., fire or smoke is visible,
dangerous road conditions or location), do not wait for voice contact from a
9-1-1 operator. All occupants should exit the vehicle immediately and move to
a safe location.
• The 9-1-1 Call system is embedded into the vehicle’s electrical system. Do not
add any aftermarket electrical equipment to the vehicle’s electrical system.
This may prevent your vehicle from sending a signal to initiate an emergency
call. To avoid interference that can cause the 9-1-1 Call system to fail, never
add aftermarket equipment (e.g., two-way mobile radio, CB radio, data
recorder, etc.) to your vehicle’s electrical system or modify the antennas on
your vehicle. IF YOUR VEHICLE LOSES BATTERY POWER FOR ANY REASON
(INCLUDING DURING OR AFTER AN ACCIDENT), THE UCONNECT
®FEA-
TURES, APPS AND SERVICES, AMONG OTHERS, WILL NOT OPERATE.
