WARNING: Operating, servicing and maintaining a passenger vehicle or off-highway motor
vehicle can expose you to chemicals including engine exhaust, carbon monoxide, phthalates, and
lead, which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. To minimize exposure, avoid breathing exhaust, do not idle the engine except as necessary,
service your vehicle in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves or wash your hands frequently when
servicing your vehicle. For more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov/passenger-vehicle.
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident and
personal injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when using any device or feature that may take 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 could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should never be done while the vehicle 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 telephones or texting while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new Ram brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference for common
questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit
www.mopar.com/en-us/care/owners-manual.html (U.S.), www.owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Ram brand dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously
impaired with blood alcohol levels far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with
a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend or use public transportation.
This Owner’s Manual illustrates and describes the operation of features and equipment that are either standard or optional on this vehicle. This manual may
also include a description of features and equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. Please disregard any features and
equipment that are no longer available or were not ordered on this vehicle. FCA US LLC reserves the right to make changes in design and specifications, and/or
make additions to or improvements to its products without imposing any obligation upon itself to install them on products previously manufactured.
With respect to vehicles sold in Canada, the name FCA US LLC shall be deemed to be deleted and the name FCA Canada Inc. used in substitution therefore.
If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Warranty Booklet by calling
1-866-726-4636 (U.S.) or 1-800-387-1143 (Canada), or by contacting your dealer.
This Owner’s Manual is intended to familiarize you with the important features of your vehicle. Your most up-to-date Owner’s Manual, Navigation/Uconnect
manuals and Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the back cover. U.S. residents can purchase replacement kits by visiting
www.techauthority.com and Canadian residents can purchase replacement kits by calling 1-800-387-1143.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reflexes are slower
and your judgment is impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer, congratulations on selecting your new vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality.
This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and perform tasks that are not intended for conventional passenger vehicles. It handles and maneuvers differently from many
passenger vehicles both on-road and off-road, so take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped, the two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed for on-road use
only. It is not intended for off-road driving or use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel drive vehicle. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owner’s Manual. Be sure
you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particularly those used for braking, steering, transmission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles on different road surfaces.
Your driving skills will improve with experience. When driving off-road, or working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the vehicle to overcome the natural laws of physics.
Always observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or a
collision. Refer to “Driving Tips” in “Starting and Operating” for further information.
This Owner's Manual has been prepared with the assistance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is
supplemented by Warranty Information, and customer-oriented documents. Within this information, you will find a description of the services that FCA US LLC offers to its customers,
the vehicle's warranty coverage, and the details of the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity. Please take the time to read all of these publications carefully before driving
your vehicle for the first time. Following the instructions, recommendations, tips, and important warnings in this manual will help ensure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
This Owner's Manual describes all versions of this vehicle. Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not expressly indicated in the text. Therefore, you should
only consider the information which is related to the trim level, engine, and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the Owner's Information, that may or
may not be applicable to your vehicle, will be identified with the wording “If Equipped”. All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your vehicle in the best possible
way. FCA US LLC aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model described for technical and/or commercial
reasons. For further information, contact an authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that authorized dealers know your vehicle best, have factory-trained technicians and genuine MOPAR® parts, and care about your satisfaction.

CONSUMER INFORMATION — TRUCK-CAMPER LOADING
This information is provided in fulfillment of the requirement by the United States
Government, Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, that “every manufacturer of trucks that are capable of accommodating
slide-in campers, manufactured on or after April 1, 1973 shall provide... at the time of
original purchase to the first person who purchases the truck”... information on Truck
Camper Loading.
A slide-in camper document is provided in your vehicle’s glove compartment that contains
your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), truck model, cargo weight rating, and the
forward/rearward limit of a camper. To obtain additional dimensional and technical
specifications for your vehicle, please visit https://www.ramtrucks.com.

Figure 1 illustrates the dimensions describing the forward and rearward limits of the zone in which the Center of Gravity (CG) of a slide-in camper must be located, to provide satisfactory
vehicle handling and to prevent overload of the front and rear axles.
Figure 2 illustrates a proper match between truck and camper.
NOTE:
The camper Center of Gravity falls within the specified zone.
A — Forward Limit of Camper CG
B — Rearward Limit of Camper CG
20_DT_OM_EN_USC_t.book Page 10

When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the truck consists
of the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of installed additional camper
equipment not included in the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of camper
cargo, and the weight of passengers in the camper. The total cargo load should not exceed
the truck’s cargo weight rating and the camper’s CG should fall within the truck’s
recommended CG zone when installed.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your vehicle.
When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the front and rear wheels
separately, to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed either of the
Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not exceed the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). If weight ratings are exceeded, move or remove items to
get the total weight below the ratings.
NOTE:
These ratings are also provided on the vehicle certification label located on the driver’s
side B-pillar. See “Vehicle Loading” in “Starting And Operating” for more information.
For any additional instructions, please contact your conversion/camper manufacturer or
an authorized dealer.

KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle uses a keyless ignition system. The ignition
system consists of a key fob with Remote Keyless Entry
(RKE) and a START/STOP push button ignition system. The
Remote Keyless Entry system consists of a key fob and
Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be detected if it is located next to
a mobile phone, laptop or other electronic device;
these devices may block the key fob’s wireless signal.
If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Charging
Pad, the key fob may not be detected if it is placed
within 15 cm (150 mm) of the pad. Refer to “Wireless
Charging Pad — If Equipped” in this chapter for further
information.
The key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, tailgate,
and the RamBox (if equipped) as well as activate the Panic
Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft (20 m)
using a handheld key fob. The key fob does not need to be
pointed at the vehicle to activate the system.
NOTE:
In the ON/RUN position, all key fob buttons will work
until the vehicle reaches 2 mph (4 km/h).
The key fob should not be placed next to the wireless
charging pad (if equipped).
Key Fob
In case the ignition switch does not change with the push
of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully depleted
battery. A low key fob battery can be verified by referring to
the instrument cluster, which will display directions to
follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by a
message in the instrument cluster display, or by the LED
light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no longer illu-
minates from key fob button pushes, then the key fob
battery requires replacement.
In a situation where the battery is low or fully depleted, a
backup method can be used to operate the ignition switch.
Put the nose side of the key fob (side opposite of the
emergency key) against the START/STOP ignition button
and push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors And Tailgate

system.
Air Suspension (Remote Lowering Of
The Vehicle) — If Equipped
For easy entry and loading, your vehicle can be
lowered by pushing the key fob air suspension
lowering button two times. When key fob
lowering is requested, the vehicle will send a
series of chirps and flashes to alert the customer that the
operation has begun and will continue these alerts until it

lower remotely:
The vehicle must not already be in Entry/Exit (Park) ride
height.
The vehicle battery must be fully charged.
All doors must be closed.
The key fob must be out of the vehicle.
NOTE:
Ensure the vehicle is clear of all objects, pets, and people
prior to remote lowering.

vehicle lowering is cancelled, the vehicle will raise up to
the next defined level and lock out the remote lowering
feature until the ignition has been cycled ON/OFF.
To cancel vehicle lowering, push the key fob air
suspension lowering button one time during the lowering
process. When vehicle lowering is cancelled, the horn will
chirp two times and the turn signal lamps will flash four
times. Once raising is completed, the horn will chirp one
