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.

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.

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.

Recirculation Button
Press and release this button to change the system between recirculation mode and outside air mode. Recirculation can
be used when outside conditions such as smoke, odors, dust, or high humidity are present.
NOTE:
• Continuous use of the Recirculation mode may make the inside air stuffy and window fogging may occur. Extended
use of this mode is not recommended.
• The use of the Recirculation mode in cold or damp weather could cause windows to fog on the inside, because of
moisture buildup inside the vehicle. Select the outside air position for maximum defogging.
• Recirculation can be used in all modes except for Defrost.
• The A/C can be deselected manually without disturbing the mode control selection.
Front Defrost Mode
Turn the Knob to the Front Defrost position. Air comes from the windshield and side window demist outlets. When
the defrost button is selected, the blower level will increase. Use Defrost mode with maximum temperature settings
for best windshield and side window defrosting and defogging.

rors (if equipped). An indicator will illuminate when the rear window defroster is ON. The rear window defroster auto-

Floor Mode
Floor Mode
Air comes from the floor outlets. A slight amount of air is directed through the defrost and side window demister out-
lets.
Mix Mode
Mix Mode
Air is directed through the floor, defrost, and side window demister outlets. This setting works best in cold or snowy con-
ditions that require extra heat to the windshield. This setting is good for maintaining comfort while reducing moisture on
the windshield.
CAUTION!
Failure to follow these cautions can cause
damage to the heating elements:
• Use care when washing the inside of the rear window. Do not use abrasive
window cleaners on the interior surface
of the window. Use a soft cloth and a
mild washing solution, wiping parallel
to the heating elements. Labels can be
peeled off after soaking with warm
water.
• Do not use scrapers, sharp instru-
ments, or abrasive window cleaners on
the interior surface of the window.
CAUTION!
• Keep all objects a safe distance fromthe window.
Additional Rear Climate Control —
If Equipped
This switch, mounted on the instrument
panel to the left of the steering column,
activates the additional rear heating/air con-
ditioning system vent.
NOTE:
The switch must be enabled for operation by
the Upfitter.
Climate Control Functions
A/C (Air Conditioning)
The Air Conditioning (A/C) button allows the
operator to manually activate or deactivate
the air conditioning system. When the air
conditioning system is turned on, cool dehu-
midified air will flow through the outlets into
the cabin. For improved fuel economy, press
the A/C button to turn off the air conditioning
and manually adjust the blower and airflow
mode settings. Also, make sure to select only
Panel, Bi-Level or Floor modes.

NOTE:
• If fog or mist appears on the windshield orside glass, select Defrost mode and in-
crease blower speed if needed.
• If your air conditioning performance seems lower than expected, check the front of the
A/C condenser (located in front of the ra-
diator), for an accumulation of dirt or in-
sects. Clean with a gentle water spray from
the front of the radiator and through the
condenser.
Recirculation
When outside air contains smoke, odors, or
high humidity, or if rapid cooling is desired,
you may wish to recirculate interior air by
pressing the Recirculation control button.
The recirculation indicator will illuminate
when this button is selected. Press the button
a second time to turn off the Recirculation
mode and allow outside air into the vehicle. NOTE:
In cold weather, use of recirculation mode
may lead to excessive window fogging. On
systems with Manual Climate Controls, the
Recirculation mode is not allowed in Defrost
mode to improve window clearing operation.
Recirculation will be disabled automatically
if this mode is selected. Attempting to use
Recirculation while in this mode will cause
the LED in the control button to blink and
then turn off.
Operating Tips
Summer Operation
The engine cooling system must be protected
with a high-quality antifreeze coolant to pro-
vide proper corrosion protection and to pro-
tect against engine overheating. A solution of
50% OAT (Organic Additive Technology) cool-
ant that meets the requirements of FCA Ma-
terial Standard MS.90032 and 50% water is
recommended. Refer to “Dealer Service” in
“Servicing And Maintenance” for proper
coolant selection.
Winter Operation
Use of the air Recirculation mode during
winter months is not recommended because
it may cause window fogging.
Vacation Storage
Any time you store your vehicle or keep it out
of service (i.e., vacation) for two weeks or
more, run the air conditioning system at idle
for about five minutes in the fresh air and
high blower setting. This will ensure ad-
equate system lubrication to minimize the
possibility of compressor damage when the
system is started again.
Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be
quickly removed by turning the mode selector
to Defrost. The Defrost/Floor mode can be
used to maintain a clear windshield and pro-
vide sufficient heating. If side window fog-
ging becomes a problem increase blower
speed. Vehicle windows tend to fog on the
inside in mild but rainy or humid weather.
