Oil Change Reset Procedure
1. Without pushing the brake pedal, push and release theENGINE START/STOP button and place the ignition
to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2. Fully push the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds.
3. Without pushing the brake pedal, push and release the ENGINE START/STOP button once to return the
ignition to the OFF/LOCK position.
NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you
start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not
reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure. Secondary Method For Oil Change Reset
1. Without depressing the brake pedal, push and release
the ENGINE START/STOP button and place the igni-
tion to the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine).
2.
Navigate to Oil Lifesubmenu in Vehicle Info on DID.
3. Push and Hold the OKbutton until the gauge resets to
100%
Fuel Filter Life Reset
The cluster will display the “Fuel System Service Re-
quired – See Dealer” or “Service Fuel Filter” message
when the fuel filter maintenance life is less than 5%. To
verify if this is a fuel filter change event, go to the “Fuel
Filter Life” screen in the “Vehicle Info” menu. When this
message appears, dealers should replace the fuel filters.
NOTE: Use the steering wheel DID controls for the
following procedure(s)

•Exhaust System Service Required - See Dealer —
This messages indicates regeneration has been disabled
due to a system malfunction. At this point the engine
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will register a fault
code, the instrument panel will display a MIL light.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust
system could occur soon with continued operation.
• Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer —
This message indicates the PCM has derated the
engine to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to
the after-treatment system. If this condition is not
corrected and a dealer service is not performed, exten-
sive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To
correct this condition it will be necessary to have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer. NOTE:
Failing to follow the oil change indicator, chang-
ing your oil and resetting the oil change indicator by
0 miles remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter
from performing it’s cleaning routine. This will shortly
result in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and re-
duced engine power. Only an authorized dealer will be
able to correct this condition.CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust
system could occur soon with continued operation.

Normal Starting Procedure — Keyless Enter-N-Go
Observe the instrument panel cluster lights when starting
the engine.
NOTE:Normal starting of either a cold or a warm
engine is obtained without pumping or pressing the
accelerator pedal
1. Always apply the parking brake.
2. Press and hold the brake pedal while pushing the ENGINE START/STOP button once.
NOTE: A delay of the start of up to five seconds is
possible under very cold conditions. The Wait to Start
telltale will be illuminated during the pre-heat process,
When the engine Wait To Start light goes off the engine
will automatically crank.
CAUTION!
If the “Water in Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain the water
from the fuel filters to avoid engine damage. Refer to
“Maintenance Procedures/Draining Fuel/Water Sepa-
rator Filter” in “Maintaining Your Vehicle” for fur-
ther information.
3. The system will automatically engage the starter to crank the engine. If the vehicle fails to start, the starter
will disengage automatically after 25 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine prior to the engine starting, push the button again.
5. Check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.
6. Release the parking brake.

STARTING AND OPERATING 35

Biodiesel Fuel Requirements
A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel meeting ASTM speci-
fication D975 is recommended for use with your diesel
engine. If frequent operation with Biodiesel blends that
are between 6% and 20% (B6–B20) is desired, the main-
tenance schedule is subject to shorter intervals.
The oil and filter change along with fuel filter replace-
ment is subject to shorter intervals when operating your
engine on biodiesel greater than 5%. Do not use biodiesel
greater than 20%.
For regular use of biodiesel blends between 6% and 20%
(B6–B20) it is important that you understand and comply
with these requirements. Refer to the “Maintenance
Chart” in the “Maintenance Schedules” section for fur-
ther direction.
CAUTION!
Failure to comply with Oil Change requirements for
vehicles operating on biodiesel blends between 6%
and 20% (B6–B20) will result in premature engine
wear. Such wear is not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources
typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed
Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl
Ester (SME or SOME) base).
Biodiesel fuel has inherent limitations which require that
you understand and adhere to the following require-
ments if you use blends of Biodiesel between 6% and 20%
(B6–B20). There are no unique restrictions for the use
of B5.
44 STARTING AND OPERATING

Fuel Water Separation — Must Use MOPAR
Approved Fuel Filter Elements
Biodiesel fuel has a natural affinity to water and water
accelerates microbial growth. Your MOPAR filtration
system is designed to provide adequate fuel water sepa-
ration capabilities.
Fuel In Oil Dilution — Must Adhere To Required
Oil Change Interval
Fuel dilution of lubricating oil has been observed with
the use of Biodiesel fuel. Fuel in oil must not exceed 5%.
To ensure this limit is met your oil change interval must
be maintained with in the suggested schedule. The
regular use of biodiesel between 6% and 20% requires
intervals shorter than the outlined 10,000 miles and must
not exceed the suggested schedule. When routinely op-
erating on biodiesel between 6% and 20%, oil and filter
replacement intervals must not exceed 8,000 Miles or
6 months, which ever comes first.
Biodiesel Fuel Filter Change Intervals
The use of biodiesel requires intervals shorter than the
outlined 30,000 miles (48 280 km) and must not exceed
the suggested schedule. When operating on biodiesel
between 6% and 20%, fuel filter replacement intervals
must not exceed 20,000 Miles (40 233 km).
NOTE:Under no circumstances should oil change inter-
vals exceed 8,000 miles (12 875 km) or 6 months, if
regular operation occurs with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends.
Under no circumstances should fuel filter intervals ex-
ceed 20,000 miles (40 233 km), if regular operation occurs
with 6% - 20% biodiesel blends. Failure to comply with
these Oil Change and fuel filter requirements for vehicles
operating on biodiesel blends up to B20 may result in
premature engine wear. Such wear is not covered by the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The engine may suffer
severe damage if operated with concentrations of bio-
diesel higher than 20%.
