GUIDE

This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new RAM brand vehicle
and to provide a convenient reference source for common questions. Howev\
er, it is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and import\
ant safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals found on the website on the back c\
over and
other Warning Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For addi\
tional information on accessories
to help personalize your vehicle, visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local

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 the legal mini\
mum. 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 a\
nd then drive.

This User Guide is intended to familiarize you with the important featur\
es of your vehicle. Your Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect manuals and Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the

The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in a collision and personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the
driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may tak\
e their attention off the road. Use of
any electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable\
radios, vehicle navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and coul\
d lead to a serious collision. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehic\
le is moving. If you find yourself
unable to devote 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.

PARKSENSE FRONT AND REAR PARK
ASSIST — IF EQUIPPED
The ParkSense Park Assist system provides
visual and audible indications of the distance
between the rear and/or front fascia and a
detected obstacle when backing up or mov-
ing forward, e.g. during a parking maneuver.
Refer to “ParkSense System Usage
Precautions” in the Owner’s Manual at
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/
owners-manual.html (U.S. Residents) or
www.owners.mopar.ca (Canadian Residents)
for limitations of this system and recommen-
dations.
ParkSense will retain the last system state
(enabled or disabled) from the last ignition
cycle when the ignition is changed to the
ON/RUN position.
ParkSense can be active only when the gear
selector is in REVERSE or DRIVE. If
ParkSense is enabled at one of these gear
selector positions, the system will remain
active until the vehicle speed is increased to
approximately 7 mph (11 km/h) or above. A
warning will appear in the instrument clusterdisplay indicating the vehicle is above
ParkSense operating speed. The system will
become active again if the vehicle speed is
decreased to speeds less than approximately
6 mph (9 km/h).
ParkSense Sensors
For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab
vehicles, the rear ParkSense sensors are
shipped loose. Please refer to the Ram Body
Builders Guide for more information.
Cleaning The ParkSense System
Clean the ParkSense sensors with water, car
wash soap and a soft cloth. Do not use rough
or hard cloths. Do not scratch or poke the
sensors. Otherwise, you could damage the
sensors.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK UP CAMERA
— IF EQUIPPED
Your vehicle may be equipped with the
ParkView Rear Back Up Camera that allows
you to see a image of the rear surroundings of
your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put
into REVERSE or whenever it is initiated through the "Backup Camera" button in the
"Controls" menu. Whenever the gear selector
is put into REVERSE, the image will be
displayed in the rearview mirror display (if
equipped) or Uconnect screen (if equipped)
along with a caution note to “check entire
surroundings” across the top of the screen.
After five seconds this note will disappear.
NOTE:
For the 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab
vehicles, the Rear Backup Camera is shipped
loose and not installed. Please refer to the
Ram Body Builders Guide for more informa-
tion.
The ParkView Camera is located to the left of
the tailgate handle.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned off), the rear Cam-
era mode is exited and the navigation or
audio screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE
(with Camera delay turned on), the rear Cam-
era image will be displayed for up to 10 sec-
onds after shifting out of REVERSE unless

Android Auto
Android Auto is a feature of your Uconnect
system, and your Android 5.0 Lollipop, or
higher, powered smartphone with a data plan,
that allows you to project your smartphone
and a number of its apps onto the touch-
screen radio display. Android Auto automati-
cally brings you useful information, and orga-
nizes it into simple cards that appear just
when they are needed. Android Auto can be
used with Google's best-in-class speech tech-
nology, the steering wheel controls, the knobs
and buttons on your radio faceplate, and the
radio display’s touchscreen to control many
of your apps. To use Android Auto follow the
following procedure:
1. Download the Android Auto app from theGoogle Play store on your Android-
powered smartphone. 2. Connect your Android powered smart-
phone to one of the media USB ports in
your vehicle. If the Android Auto app was
not downloaded, the first time you plug
your device in, the app will begin to
download.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided USB
cable that came with your phone, as after-
market cables may not work. 3. Once the device is connected, the system
will display the Android Auto home
screen. Android Auto should automati-
cally launch, but if it does not launch
automatically, refer to the Uconnect Own-
er’s Manual Supplement for the procedure
to enable the feature “AutoShow.” You
can also launch it by pressing Android
Auto located in the “Apps” menu. If you
use Android Auto frequently you can move
the app to the menu bar at the bottom of
the touchscreen. Press the “Apps” button
and locate the Android Auto app; then
press and drag the selected App to replace
an existing shortcut in the main menu bar.
Once Android Auto is up and running on your
Uconnect radio, the following features can be
utilized using your smartphone’s data plan:
• Google Maps for navigation
• Google Play Music, Spotify, iHeart Radio, etc. for music
• Handsfree Calling, and Texting for commu- nication
• Hundred of compatible apps

NOTE:
To use Android Auto, make sure you are in an
area with cellular coverage. Android Auto
may use cellular data and your cellular cov-
erage is shown in the upper right corner of the
radio screen.
Maps
Push and hold the VR button on the steering
wheel or tap the microphone icon to ask
Google to take you to a desired destination by
voice. You can also touch the Navigation icon
in Android Auto to access Google Maps.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 navigation sys-
tem.
While using Android Auto, Google Maps pro-
vides voice-guided:
• Navigation
• Live traffic information
• Lane guidance
NOTE:
If you are using the native Uconnect naviga-
tion system, and you try and start a new route
using the Android Auto, via voice or any other
method, a pop-up will appear asking if you
would like to switch from Uconnect naviga-
tion to smartphone navigation. A pop-up will
also appear, asking if you’d like to switch, if
Android Auto 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 naviga-
tion type will remain unchanged.
For further information, refer to
www.android.com/auto/.
For further information on the navigation
function, please refer to
https://support.google.com/android or
https://support.google.com/androidauto/.

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.
