A MESSAGE FROM FCA US LLC
FCA US LLC welcomes you as a turbocharged diesel-
powered vehicle owner. Your diesel vehicle will sound,
feel, drive and operate differently from a gasoline-
powered vehicle. It is important that you read and
understand this manual.
Almost 100% of the heavy trucks in the United States and
Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy,
rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling
heavy loads.
You may find that some of the starting, operating, and
maintenance procedures are different. However, they are
simple to follow and careful adherence to them will
ensure that you take full advantage of the features of this
engine.NOTE:
•
Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/
transmission and/or exhaust system damage. Your
vehicle’s powertrain control systems can detect and
store information about vehicle modifications that
increase horsepower and torque output such as
whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain
components, commonly referred to as downloaders,
power boxes, or performance chips have been used.
• Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to
the vehicle will effect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning Sys-
tem.
This information cannot be erased and will stay in the
system’s memory even if the modification is removed.
This information can be retrieved by FCA US LLC, and
service and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle.

CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original
equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and
warning have been established for the tire size
equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera-
tion or sensor damage may result when using re-
placement equipment that is not of the same size,
type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause
sensor damage. Using aftermarket tire sealants may
cause the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using an after-
market tire sealant it is recommended that you take
your vehicle to an authorized dealership to have your
sensor function checked.NOTE:
The TPMS telltale is also accompanied by a “Low
Tire” message in the Electronic Vehicle Information Cen-
ter (EVIC). Refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS) in “Starting And Operating” for further informa-
tion.
26. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned to
ON/RUN, during the first six seconds from
key ON, if the driver ’s seat belt is unbuckled, a
continuous chime will sound and the light will
be ON. After the first six seconds or when driving, if the
driver ’s seat belt remains unbuckled, the seat belt re-
minder light will flash or remain on continuously. This
light also indicates if the front passengers are buckled or
not (when the vehicle is equipped with the seat belt alert
also for passenger/passengers).
