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 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 collision. 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 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. However, it is not a substitute for your Owner’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions, maintenance procedures and important safety messages, please consult your Owner’s Manual,
Navigation/Uconnect manuals found on the website on the back cover and other Warning Labels in your vehicle.
Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For additional information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle,
visit www.mopar.com (U.S.), www.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local RAM brand dealer.
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 minimum. 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 and then drive.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Essential Information
Each time direction instructions (left/right or
forwards/backwards) about the vehicle are
given, these must be intended as regarding
an occupant in the driver's seat. Special
cases not complying with this rule will be
properly specified in the text.
The figures in this User Guide are provided by
way of example only: this might imply that
some details of the image do not correspond
to the actual arrangement of your vehicle.
In addition, the User Guide has been con-
ceived considering vehicles with the steering

some controls is not exactly mirror-like with
respect to the figure.
To identify the chapter with the information
needed you can consult the index at the end
of this User Guide.
Chapters can be rapidly identified with dedi-
cated graphic tabs, at the side of each odd
page. A few pages further there is a key for
getting to know the chapter order and the
relevant symbols in the tabs. There is always
a textual indication of the current chapter at
the side of each even page.
Symbols
Some vehicle components have colored la-
bels whose symbols indicate precautions to
be observed when using this component.
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
While reading this User Guide you will find a
series of WARNINGS to be followed to pre-
vent incorrect use of components which
could cause accidents or injuries.
There are also CAUTIONS that must be fol-
lowed to prevent against procedures that
could result in damage to your vehicle.

The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not
apply to body modifications or special equip-
ment installed by van conversion/camper

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 Re-
mote Keyless Entry system consists of a key
fob and Keyless Enter-N-Go feature.
NOTE:
The key fob may not be found if it is located
next to a mobile phone, laptop or other elec-
tronic device; these devices may block the
key fob’s wireless signal.
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, the lock button is
disabled. Only the unlock button is enabled.
NOTE:
In case the ignition switch does not change
with the push of a button, the key fob may
have a low or dead battery. In this situation, a
back up 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 ENGINE START/STOP button and
push to operate the ignition switch.
To Unlock The Doors And Tailgate
Push and release the unlock button on the
key fob once to unlock the driver’s door. Push
the unlock button twice within five seconds
to unlock all doors, the tailgate and the Ram-
Box (if equipped). The turn signal lights will
flash to acknowledge the unlock signal. The
illuminated entry system will also turn on.
NOTE:
The instrument cluster display or Uconnect
Settings are setup for driver door first, other-
wise this will unlock all doors.

To Lock The Doors And Tailgate
Push and release the lock button on the key
fob to lock all doors, the tailgate, and the
RamBox (if equipped). The turn signal lights
will flash and the horn will chirp to acknowl-
edge the signal.
Using The Panic Alarm
To turn the Panic Alarm feature on or off,
push the Panic button on the key fob. When
the Panic Alarm is activated, the turn signals
will flash, the horn will pulse on and off, and
the interior lights will turn on.
The Panic Alarm will stay on for three min-
utes unless you turn it off by either pushing
the Panic button a second time or drive the
vehicle at a speed of 15 mph (24 km/h) or
greater.
NOTE:
• The interior lights will turn off if you place
the ignition in the ACC or ON/RUN position
while the Panic Alarm is activated. How-
ever, the exterior lights and horn will remain
on.
• You may need to be less than 35 ft (11 m)
from the vehicle when using the key fob to
turn off the Panic Alarm due to the radio
frequency noises emitted by the system.
Air Suspension (Remote Lowering Of The
Vehicle) — If Equipped
For easy entry and loading, your
vehicle can be lowered by push-
ing 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 opera-
tion has begun and will continue these alerts
until it successfully lowers.
The following conditions must be met for the
vehicle to 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.
Canceling Remote Lowering
Vehicle lowering can be cancelled at any-
time. When 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 dur-
ing the lowering process. When vehicle low-
ering 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 time.
NOTE:
Refer to “Active-Level Four Corner Air Sus-
pension System” in “Starting And Operating”
in the Owner’s Manual for further informa-
tion.

exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is sub-
ject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and

NOTE:
Changes or modifications not expressly ap-

ance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
VEHICLE SECURITY ALARM
The vehicle security alarm monitors the ve-
hicle doors, tailgate, and ignition for unau-
thorized operation. When the vehicle security
alarm is activated, interior switches for door
locks are disabled. The system will turn the
horn off after 29 seconds, 5 seconds between
cycles, up to 8 cycles if the trigger remains
active and then the vehicle security alarm will
rearm itself.
To Arm The System
Follow these steps to arm the vehicle security
alarm:
1. Remove the key from the ignition system
(refer to "Starting The Engine" in "Starting
And Operating" for further information).
• Make sure the vehicle ignition system
is "OFF."
2. Perform one of the following methods to
lock the vehicle:
• Push lock button on the interior power
door lock switch with the driver and/or
passenger door open.
• Push the lock button on the exterior
Passive Entry Door Handle with a valid
key fob available in the same exterior
zone (refer to "Keyless Enter- N-Go —
Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information).
• Push the lock button on the key fob.
3. If any doors are open, close them.
The vehicle security alarm will set when you
use the power door locks, or use the key fob to
lock the doors. After all the doors are locked
and closed, the vehicle security light, in the
instrument panel cluster, will flash rapidly for
about 16 seconds to indicate that the alarm
is being set. After the alarm is set, the vehicle
security light will flash at a slower rate to
indicate that the system is armed.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
16

To Disarm The System
The vehicle security alarm can be disarmed
using any of the following methods:
1. Push the unlock button on the key fob.
2. Grasp the Passive Entry Unlock Door
Handle with a valid key fob within 5 ft
(1.5 m) of the passive entry door handle.

— Passive Entry" in "Getting To Know Your
Vehicle" for further information.
3.
Place the ignition out of the “OFF” position.
The vehicle security alarm is designed to
protect your vehicle. However, you can create
conditions where the system will give you a
false alarm. If one of the previously described
arming sequences has occurred, the vehicle
security alarm will arm regardless of whether
you are in the vehicle or not. If you remain in
the vehicle and open a door, the alarm will
sound. If this occurs, disarm the vehicle
security alarm.
If the vehicle security alarm is armed and the
battery becomes disconnected, the vehicle
security alarm will remain armed when the
battery is reconnected; the exterior lights will
flash, and the horn will sound. If this occurs,
disarm the vehicle security alarm.
Rearming Of The System
If something triggers the alarm, and no action
is taken to disarm it, the vehicle security
alarm will turn the horn off after 29 seconds,
5 seconds between cycles, up to 8 cycles if
the trigger remains active and then the ve-
hicle security alarm will rearm itself.
