2018 Ram 4500 Chassis Cab User Guide

NOTE:
Only temporarily pushing the VR button on
the steering wheel will launch a native VR
session, not a Siri session, and it will not
function with CarPlay.
Music
CarPlay allows you to access all your artists,
playlists, and music from iTunes. Using your
iPhone’s data plan, you can also use select
third party audio apps including music, news,
sports, podcasts and more.
Messages
Just like Phone, CarPlay allows you to use Siri
to send or reply to text messages. Siri can also
read incoming text messages, but driver’s will
not be able to read messages, as everything is
done via voice.
Maps
To use your Apple Maps for navigation on your
Uconnect system, launch CarPlay, and push
and hold the VR button on the steering wheel
to use Siri to set your desired destination.
Alternatively, choose a Nearby destination by
pressing Destinations and selecting a cat-
egory, by launching Siri from the destinations
page, or even by typing in a destination.NOTE:
• If the VR button is not held, and is only
pushed, the native Uconnect VR will
prompt you and any navigation command
said will launch the native Uconnect navi-
gation system.

• If you are using the native Uconnect navi-gation system, and you try and start a new
route using CarPlay, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up will appear asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect naviga-
tion to iPhone navigation. A pop-up will
also appear, asking if you’d like to switch, if
an CarPlay navigation is currently in use
and you attempt to launch a native
Uconnect route. Selecting “Yes” will switch
the navigation type to the newly used
method of navigation and a route will be
planned for the new destination. If “No” is
selected the navigation type will remain
unchanged.Apps

must have the compatible app downloaded,
and you must be signed in to the app. Refer
to http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/ (U.S.

WARNING!
• ALWAYS obey traffic laws and pay atten-tion to the road. Some features are lim-
ited while the vehicle is in motion. Some
services, including SOS, will NOT work
without a subscription and an operable
network connection.
• Ignoring the rearview mirror light could
mean you may not have SOS Call service
if needed. If the rearview mirror light is
illuminated, have an authorized dealer
service the SOS Call system immedi-
ately.
• The Occupant Restraint Controller
(ORC) turns on the Air Bag Warning
Light on the instrument panel if a mal-
function is detected in any part of the
airbag system. If the Air Bag Warning
Light is illuminated, the air bag system
may not be working properly and the

the vehicle immediately and move to a
safe location.
• The SOS Call system is embedded into

nal to initiate an emergency call. To

market equipment (e.g., two-way mobile
radio, CB radio, data recorder, etc.) to
your vehicle’s electrical system or
