ditions, and you could lose control and
have an accident. Do not use Speed Con-
trol in heavy traffic or on roads that are
winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
To Resume Speed
To resume a previously set speed, push the
RES button and release. Resume can be used
at any speed above 20 mph (32 km/h) up to
the maximum speed of 100 mph (160 km/h).
To Deactivate
A soft tap on the brake pedal, pushing the
RES button, or normal brake pressure while
slowing the vehicle will deactivate Speed
Control without erasing the set speed
memory. Rotating the center ring upward to
turn the system off or turning the ignition
switch OFF erases the set speed memory.
PARKSENSE REAR PARK ASSIST
If an obstacle is behind the vehicle when
REVERSE gear is engaged, an audible alert is
activated.The tones emitted by the loudspeaker inform
the driver that the vehicle is approaching an
obstacle. The pauses between the tones are
directly proportional to the distance from the
obstacle. Pulses emitted in quick succession
indicate the presence of a very close ob-
stacle. A continuous tone indicates that the
obstacle is less than 12 inches (30 cm) away.
PARKVIEW REAR BACK-UP CAMERA
You can see an on-screen image of the rear of
your vehicle whenever the gear selector is put
into REVERSE. The ParkView Rear Back-Up
Camera image is displayed on the touch-
screen display located on the center stack of
the instrument panel.
NOTE:
If the touchscreen display appears foggy,
clean the camera lens located on the top rear
of the vehicle below the center light.
WARNING!
Drivers must be careful when backing up
even when using the Rear Back-Up Cam-
era. Always check carefully behind your
WARNING!
vehicle, and be sure to check for pedestri-
ans, animals, other vehicles, obstructions,
or blind spots before backing up. You are
responsible for the safety of your surround-
ings and must continue to pay attention
while backing up. Failure to do so can
result in serious injury or death.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GAS
ENGINE
The gas cap is located behind the fuel filler
door on the left side of the vehicle. If the gas
cap is lost or damaged, be sure the replace-
ment cap is for use with this vehicle.
WARNING!
• Never have any smoking materials lit in
or near the vehicle when the fuel door is
open or the tank is being filled.
• Never add fuel when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most state
and federal fire regulations and may

The DEF injection system and SCR catalyst
enable the achievement of diesel emissions
requirements; while maintaining outstanding
fuel economy, drivability, torque and power
ratings.
Refer to “Instrument Cluster Display” in
“Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel” for
system messages and warnings.
NOTE:
• Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF injec-tion system. You may occasionally hear an
audible clicking noise from under the ve-
hicle at a stop. This is normal operation.
• The DEF pump will run for a period of time after engine shutdown to purge the DEF
system. This is normal operation and may
be audible from under the vehicle.
Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed,
load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF that
is used by your vehicle.
DEF Fill Procedure
NOTE:
Refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in “Techni-
cal Specifications” for the correct fluid type.
CAUTION!
It is extremely important to avoid any con-
tamination of the diesel fuel with Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF). Ensure that the die-
sel fuel filler cap is in place and com-
pletely tightened before opening or filling
the DEF.
1. Remove cap from DEF filler neck (located on drivers side of the vehicle in the fuel
door).
2. Insert DEF fill adapter/nozzle into DEF tank filler neck.
CAUTION!
•To avoid DEF spillage, and possible dam-
age to the DEF tank from overfilling, do
not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.
• DO NOT OVERFILL. DEF will freeze be- low 12ºF (-11ºC). The DEF system is
designed to work in temperatures below
the DEF freezing point, however, if the
tank is overfilled and freezes, the system
could be damaged.

SCHEDULED SERVICING — GASOLINE
ENGINE
Your vehicle is equipped with an automatic
oil change indicator system. The oil change
indicator system will remind you that it is
time to take your vehicle in for scheduled
maintenance.
Based on engine operation conditions, the oil
change indicator message will illuminate in
the instrument cluster. This means that ser-
vice is required for your vehicle. Operating
conditions such as frequent short-trips,
trailer tow, and extremely hot or cold ambient
temperatures will influence when the “Oil
Change Required” message is displayed. Se-
vere Operating Conditions can cause the
change oil message to illuminate as early as
3,500 miles (5,600 km) since last reset.
Have your vehicle serviced as soon as pos-
sible, within the next 500 miles (805 km).
Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change
indicator message after completing the sched-
uled oil change. If a scheduled oil change is
performed by someone other than your autho-
rized dealer, the message can be reset byreferring to the steps described under “Instru-
ment Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know
Your Instrument Panel” in your Owner’s
Manual on
www.ramtrucks.com/en/owners/
manuals for further information.
NOTE:
Under no circumstances should oil change
intervals exceed 10,000 miles (16,000 km),
twelve months or 350 hours of engine run
time, whichever comes first. The 350 hours
of engine run or idle time is generally only a
concern for fleet customers.
Severe Duty All Models
Change Engine Oil at 4,000 miles
(6,500 km) or 350 hours of engine run time
if the vehicle is operated in a dusty and off
road environment or is operated predomi-
nately at idle or only very low engine RPM’s.
This type of vehicle use is considered Severe
Duty. Once A Month Or Before A Long Trip:
• Check engine oil level
• Check windshield washer fluid level
• Check the tire inflation pressures and look
for unusual wear or damage
• Check the fluid levels of the coolant reser- voir, brake master cylinder, and power
steering and fill as needed
• Check function of all interior and exterior lights

Required Maintenance Intervals.
Refer to the maintenance schedules on the
following page for the required maintenance
