DRIVING AND ALCOHOL

Drunken 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 trans-

portation.

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.

This manual illustrates and describes the operation of

features and equipment that are either standard or op-

tional on this vehicle. This manual may also include a

description of features and equipment that are no longer

disregard any features and equipment described in this

Chrysler Group LLC reserves the right to make changes

in design and specifications, and/or make additions to or

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC welcomes you as a turbocharged

diesel-powered truck owner. Your diesel truck will

sound, feel, drive, and operate differently from a

gasoline-powered truck. It is important that you read and

understand this manual.

Almost 100% of the heavy trucks in the United States and

Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy,

rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling

heavy loads.

You may find that some of the starting, operating, and

maintenance procedures are different. However, they are

simple to follow and careful adherence to them will ensure

that you take full advantage of the features of this engine.

NOTE:

•Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/

transmission and/or exhaust system damage. Your

vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect and

store information about vehicle modifications that

increase horsepower and torque output such as

whether or not performance-enhancing powertrain

components, commonly referred to as downloaders,

power boxes, or performance chips have been used.

•

Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to the

vehicle will effect the performance of the Adaptive

Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning System.

This information cannot be erased and will stay in the

system’s memory even if the modification is removed. This

information can be retrieved by Chrysler Group LLC, and

service and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle.

This information may be used to determine if repair will be

covered by New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

There is a probability that the use of a “performance

chip” will prohibit the engine from starting. In this

instance, the vehicle will need to be serviced by a

authorized dealer in order to return the vehicle to it’s

factory settings.
