112GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
There are two adjustable utility rail cleats on each
side of the bed that can be used to assist in
securing cargo.

Adjustable Cleat Assembly

Each utility rail cleat must be tightened down in
one of the detents along either utility rail in order to
keep cargo properly secured.
To move the utility rail cleat to any position on the
utility rail, turn the cleat retainer nut counter-
clockwise several times. Then, pull out on the
utility rail cleat and slide it to the detent nearest
the desired location. Make sure the utility rail cleat
is seated in the detent, and tighten the nut. To remove the utility rail cleats from the side utility
rails, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located at the end of the rail toward the front of the
vehicle.
To remove the utility rail cleat from the front utility
rail, slide the cleat to the rectangular cutout
located on the left side of the rail.
TONNEAU COVER — IF EQUIPPED
The Tonneau Cover can be installed on the truck
bed to keep cargo out of view, and protect from
inclement weather.
The Tonneau Cover consists of the following
features:
Easy roll up cover
Tonneau fore/aft locator
Crossbar inside bed locator
Rear latches
Stowage straps
NOTE:The Tonneau Cover can be rolled up and secured
at the front of the truck bed without removing it
completely.
TONNEAU COVER INSTALLATION
To install the Tonneau Cover, proceed as follows:

1. Position the rolled up Tonneau Cover on the
truck bed and align it to the two fastener
locations at the front of the bed.

Fastener Locations

2. Using a #T50 Torx head driver, secure the fasteners to the bed.
3. Lower the tailgate to the fully open position before unrolling the Tonneau Cover.

The TrailCam view can also be activated by
pressing the icon on the Back Up Camera view.
The Back Up Camera view can also be activated by
pressing the icon on the TrailCam view.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
Camera Delay turned off and TrailCam view is
active, the TrailCam mode is exited and the
previous screen appears again.
When the vehicle is shifted out of REVERSE with
Camera Delay turned on and the TrailCam view is
active, the TrailCam image will be displayed for up
to 10 seconds unless the vehicle speed exceeds
8 mph (13 km/h), the transmission is shifted into
PARK, the ignition is placed in the OFF position, or
the touchscreen X button to disable display of the
TrailCam view is pressed.
Whenever the TrailCam image is activated through
the Manual Activation Methods, and the vehicle
speed is greater than or equal to 8 mph (13 km/h),
a display timer for the image is initiated. The image
will continue to be displayed until the display timer
exceeds 10 seconds.
NOTE:
If the vehicle speed remains below 8 mph
(13 km/h) while in 2WD or 4WD High, the
TrailCam image will be displayed continuously
until deactivated via the touchscreen X button,
the transmission is shifted into PARK, or the
ignition is placed in the OFF position.
The touchscreen X button to disable the display
of the camera image is made available ONLY
when the vehicle is not in REVERSE.
The TrailCam view will stay active regardless of
the vehicle speed and time while in 4WD Low.
Cleaning The TrailCam
Press and hold the Clean Camera button located
on the TrailCam view to wash the TrailCam. Washer
fluid will stop when the button is released.
The camera can be washed up to 20 seconds at
a time while holding the button.
The Clean Camera system is not available when
windshield washing is in process.
When enabled, active dynamic Tire Lines are
projected on the ground plane of the TrailCam view
based on the steering wheel position.

2. Remove the diesel fuel filler cap by rotating it counterclockwise.

Fuel and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Fill Location

3. Fully insert the diesel nozzle into the filler pipe. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
4. When the nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. Wait five seconds before removing
the fuel nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain
from nozzle.
5. Remove the diesel nozzle, reinstall fuel cap and close the fuel filler door.
NOTE:
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
Tighten the fuel filler cap about a quarter turn
until you hear one click. This is an indication that
the cap is properly tightened.
If the fuel filler cap is not tightened properly, the
MIL will come on. Be sure the cap is tightened
every time the vehicle is refueled.
AVOID USING CONTAMINATED FUEL
Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can
cause severe damage to the engine fuel system.
Proper maintenance of the engine fuel filter and
fuel tank is essential see Ú page 368.
BULK FUEL STORAGE — DIESEL FUEL
If you store quantities of fuel, good maintenance of
the stored fuel is also essential. Fuel contaminated
with water will promote the growth of “microbes.”
These microbes form “slime” that will clog the fuel
filtration system and lines. Drain condensation
from the supply tank and change the line filter on
a regular basis.
NOTE:When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of fuel,
air is pulled into the fuel system.
If the vehicle will not start see Ú page 370.
DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID
Your vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) system to meet the very stringent
diesel emissions standards required by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The purpose of the SCR system is to reduce levels
of NOx (oxides of nitrogen emitted from engines)
that are harmful to our health and the environment
to a near-zero level. A small quantity of Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is injected into the exhaust
upstream of a catalyst where, when vaporized, it
converts smog-forming nitrogen oxides (NOx) into
harmless nitrogen (N2) and water vapor (H2O), two
natural components of the air we breathe. You can
operate with the comfort that your vehicle is
contributing to a cleaner, healthier world
environment for this and generations to come.
System Overview
This vehicle is equipped with a Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) injection system and a Selective Catalytic
Reduction (SCR) catalyst to meet the emission
requirements.

2 — DEF Filler
WARNING!
Do not open the high pressure fuel system with
the engine running. Engine operation causes
high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can
cause serious injury or death.

cleaning cloth in order to clean the touchscreen.
If necessary, use a lint-free cloth dampened
with a cleaning solution, such as isopropyl
alcohol or an isopropyl alcohol and water solu -
tion ratio of 50:50. Be sure to follow the solvent
manufacturer's precautions and directions

1. Park on a firm, level surface. Avoid ice or
slippery areas.

2. Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
3. Apply the parking brake.
4. Shift the automatic transmission into PARK (P), or a manual transmission into REVERSE.
5. Cycle the ignition to OFF.
6. Block both the front and rear of the wheel diagonally opposite of the jacking position. For
example, if the driver’s front wheel is being
changed, block the passenger’s rear wheel.
Wheel Blocked Example

NOTE:Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when
the vehicle is being jacked in position.
JACK LOCATION
The jack and tools are stored under the right rear
seat.

Jack And Tool Location
See the following steps to remove:

1. Fold up the right rear seat.

2. Remove the jack and tools by turning the wing
bolt counterclockwise, remove the wing bolt
and then lift the assembly out from under the
seat.

JACKING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION!
The winch mechanism is designed for use with
the jack wrench extension tool only. Use of air
wrench or power tool may damage the winch.
WARNING!
Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to
help prevent personal injury or damage to your
vehicle:
Always park on a firm, level surface as far from
the edge of the roadway as possible before
raising the vehicle.
Turn on the Hazard Warning Flashers.
Apply the parking brake firmly and shift an
automatic transmission in PARK; a manual
transmission to REVERSE.

to be raised.
Never start or run the engine with the vehicle
on a jack.
Do not let anyone sit in the vehicle when it is
on a jack.
Do not get under the vehicle when it is on a
jack. If you need to get under a raised vehicle,
take it to a service center where it can be
raised on a lift.
Only use the jack in the positions indicated
and for lifting this vehicle during a tire change.
If working on or near a roadway, be extremely
careful of motor traffic.
To assure that spare tires, flat or inflated, are
securely stowed, spares must be stowed with
the valve stem facing the ground.
