2016 Ram ProMaster turn signal

Turn Signals
Move the multifunction lever up or down and the arrows
on each side of the instrument cluster flash to show
proper operation of the front and rear turn signal lights.
NOTE:If either light remains on and does not flash, or
there is a very fast flash rate, check for a defective outside
light bulb. If an indicator fails to light when the lever is
moved, it would suggest that the indicator bulb is
defective.
Parking Lights
These lights can only be turned on with ignition key in
the STOP position or removed, by moving the end of the
multifunction lever to O (off) position and then to the
headlight position.
The warning light telltale in the instrument panel comes
on. The lights stay on until the next ignition cycle is
performed.
Lane Change Assist
Tap the lever up or down once, without moving beyond
the detent, and the turn signal (right or left) will flash five
times then automatically turn off.
High Beam/Low Beam Select Switch
Pull the multifunction lever toward you to switch the
headlights to high beam. Pull the lever a second time to
switch the headlights back to low beam.
Flash-To-Pass
You can signal another vehicle with your headlights by
partially pulling the multifunction lever toward the steer-
ing wheel. This will cause the high beam headlights to
turn on until the lever is released.
Follow Me Home/Headlight Delay
When this feature is selected the driver can choose to
have the headlights remain on for a preset period of time.

While audible signals are emitted, the audio system is not
muted.
The audible signal is turned off immediately if the
distance increases. The tone cycle remains constant if the
distance measured by the inner sensors is constant. If this
condition occurs for the external sensors, the signal is
turned off after three seconds (stopping warnings during
maneuvers parallel to walls).
ParkSense Rear Park Assist Failure Indications
A malfunction of the ParkSense Rear Park Assist sensors
or system is indicated, during REVERSE gear engage-
ment, by the instrument panel warning icon.The warning icon is illuminated and a message
is displayed on the multifunction display (if
equipped). Refer to “Instrument Cluster De-
scriptions” in “Understanding Your Instrument
Panel” for further information. The sensors and wiring are tested continuously when the
ignition is in the ON/RUN position. Failures are indi-
cated immediately if they occur when the system is ON.
Even if the system is able to identify that a specific sensor
is in failure condition, the instrument cluster display
shall indicate that the ParkSense Rear Park Assist system
is unavailable, without reference to the sensor in failure
condition. If even a single sensor fails, the entire system
must be disabled. The system is turned off automatically.Cleaning The ParkSense Rear Park Assist
System
Clean the ParkSense Rear Park Assist sensors with water,
car wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough or hard
cloths. In washing stations, clean sensors quickly keeping
the vapor jet/high pressure washing nozzles at least 4
inches (10 cm) from the sensors. Do not scratch or poke
the sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the sensors.

Presetting stations with a strong signal: when the
BAND/AS button is pushed for more than two seconds,
the radio will search for the 6 best stations and automati-
cally store them in the 6 memory positions of the current
band. During the search, the display will indicateFM
AST orAM AST, depending on the band selected. To
record the stations that are found, these are sorted in
ascending order of frequency and the first one is stored in
memory position 1, and so on, until positions 1-6 are all
in use. If fewer than 6 stations are found, the unused
channels will be allocated to the 107.9 MHz frequency for
FM and AM 1710 KHz for the AM band. At the end of the
search process, the radio tunes in to the first preset
position and the display will indicate the associated
preset number (1) and the station frequency for three
seconds. The display will then return to the previous

2. Installing some form of aftermarket window tintingthat affects radio wave signals.
3. Snow or ice around the wheels or wheel housings.
4. Using tire chains on the vehicle.
5. Using wheels/tires not equipped with TPM sensors.
NOTE: Your vehicle is equipped with a regular size
spare wheel.
1. The spare tire has a tire pressure monitoring sensor, but it is not monitored until it is mounted in place of
any of the existing four road tires.
2. If you install the spare tire in place of a road tire that has a pressure below the low-pressure warning limit,
upon the next ignition key cycle, a chime will sound
and the Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light will
turn ON due to the low tire condition. Then, after driving the vehicle for up to 20 minutes above 15mph
(24km/h), the system will recognize the new sensor, so
turn off the telltale.
3. If a spare tire not equipped with tire pressure moni- toring sensor is used, then the Tire Pressure Monitor-
ing Telltale Light will turn ON, flashing for 75 seconds
and then remaining solid for each subsequent ignition
key cycle.
NOTE: For a correct Tire Pressure Monitoring behavior,
please wait for about 20 minutes in key-off during each
tire substitution.

CAUTION!
If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg)
loaded, it should have its own brakes and they
should be of adequate capacity. Failure to do this
could lead to accelerated brake lining wear, higher
brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
Towing Requirements — Trailer Lights And Wiring
Whenever you pull a trailer, regardless of the trailer size,
stoplights and turn signals on the trailer are required for
motoring safety.
The Trailer Tow Package may include a four- and seven-
pin wiring harness. Use a factory approved trailer har-
ness and connector.

HAZARD WARNING FLASHERS
The Hazard Warning flasher switch is located on the
instrument panel below the climate controls.Push the switch to turn on the Hazard Warning
flasher. When the switch is activated, all direc-
tional turn signals will flash on and off to warn oncoming
traffic of an emergency. Push the switch a second time to
turn off the Hazard Warning flashers.
This is an emergency warning system and it should not
be used when the vehicle is in motion. Use it when your
vehicle is disabled and it is creating a safety hazard for
other motorists.
When you must leave the vehicle to seek assistance, the
Hazard Warning flashers will continue to operate even
though the ignition is placed in the OFF position.
NOTE: With extended use the Hazard Warning flashers
may wear down your battery.
IF YOUR ENGINE OVERHEATS
In any of the following situations, you can reduce the
potential for overheating by taking the appropriate ac-
tion.
• On the highways — slow down.
• In city traffic — while stopped, place the transmission
in NEUTRAL, but do not increase the engine idle
speed while maintaining the motion of the vehicle
with the brakes.
NOTE: There are steps that you can take to slow down
an impending overheat condition:
• If your air conditioner (A/C) is on, turn it off. The A/C
system adds heat to the engine cooling system and
turning the A/C off can help remove this heat.
• You can also turn the temperature control to maximum
heat, the mode control to floor and the blower control
to high. This allows the heater core to act as a
