A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) with Integrated Ignition Key — If Equipped Y our vehicle may use a keyless ignition system. This system consists of a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) trans- mitter with integrated ignition key and a W ireless Igni- tion Node (WIN) with integral ignition switch.
Integrated Ignition Key The Integrated Key operates the ignition switch. It also contains the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter and an emer gency key , which stores in the rear of the RKE transmitter . The emergency key allows for entry into the vehicle should the battery in the vehicle or the RKE transmitter go dead.
T o remove the emergency key from the RKE transmitter , slide the mechanical latch at the top of the RKE transmit- ter sideways with your thumb and then pull the key out with your other hand. NOTE: Y ou can insert the double-sided emergency key into the lock cylinder with either side up.
Refer to “Key Off Power Delay ,” under “Customer- Programmable Features (SETUP)” in the “Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC),” in Section 4. W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons.
The system uses ignition keys that have an embedded electronic chip (transponder) to pr event unauthorized vehicle operation. Ther efore, only keys that are pro- grammed to the vehicle can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The system will shut the engine off in two seconds if someone uses an invalid key to try to start the engine.
CAUTION! Always remove the Sentry Keys 威 from the vehicle and lock all doors when leaving the vehicle unat- tended. At the time of purchase, the original owner is provided with a four-digit Personal Identification Number (PIN). Keep the PIN in a secure location.

RAMBOX SAFETY W ARNING Safety W arning Carefully follow these warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: W ARNING! • Always close the storage bin covers when your vehicle is unattended. • Do not allow children to have access to the storage bins.
Rambox Storage Bin Cover Emergency Release Lever — If Equipped As a security measure, a Storage Bin Cover Emergency Release is built into the storage bin cover latching mecha- nism.
• An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel • Knee bolsters/blockers for front seat occupants • All seat belt systems (except driver’s and second row center position) include Auto.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision. Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the vehicle. Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” Pulling Out Latch Plate And W ebbing Latch Plate T o Buckle 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTI.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
2. T o reattach the seat belt to the front center seat, pull the black buckle latch plate forward from the cab back panel and insert it into the black keyed buckle until there is an audible “click”. For proper seatbelt usage, refer “Lap/ Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions” in this section.
W ARNING! • If the black latch and black buckle are not prop- erly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • When reattaching the black latch and black buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front row outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downward to help position the belt away from your neck. Press the button located on the upper belt guide, and then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too loose or too high is dangerous. • A belt worn too loose can allow you to slip down and under the belt in a collision. • A belt that is too loose or too high will apply crash forces to the abdomen, not to the stronger hip bones.
Seat Belt Pretensioners The seat belts for both front outboard seating positions are equipped with pretensioning devices that are de- signed to remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a collision. These devices impr ove the performance of the seat belt by assuring that the belt is tight about the occupant early in a collision.
BeltAlert 威 can be enabled or disabled by your authorized dealer or by following these steps: NOTE: The following steps must occur within the first 60 seconds of the ignition switch being turned to the ON or ST AR T position. Chrysler LLC does not recommend deactivating the BeltAlert 威 .
extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not requir ed, remove the extender and store it. W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision.
NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have different rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
Advanced Front Airbag Features The Advanced Front Airbag system has multistage driver and fr ont passenger airbags. This system provides output appropriate to the severity and type of collision as determined by the Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC), which may receive information from the impact sensors at the front of the car .
Supplemental Seat Side Airbags — If Equipped Supplemental seat side airbags provide enhanced protec- tion and work together with supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) to help protect an occupant during a side impact. The supplemental seat side airbag is marked with an airbag label sewn into the outboar d side of the seat.
NOTE: • Should a vehicle r ollover occur , the pr etensioners and/or SABIC airbags on both sides of the vehicle may deploy . • Airbag covers may not be obvious in the interior trim; but they will open during airbag deployment.
Along with seat belts and pretensioners, Advanced Fr ont Airbags work with the knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger .
Y ou should read the instructions provided with your child r estraint to make sur e that you are using it properly . All occupants should AL W A YS wear their lap and shoul- der belts properly . The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the Advanced Front Airbags room to inflate.
Airbag Deployment Sensors and Controls Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) The ORC is part of a Federally regulated safety system requir ed for this vehicle. The ORC determines if deployment of the front and/or side airbags in a fr ontal or side collision is required.
Seat belts are necessary for your protection in all colli- sions, and also are needed to help keep you in position, away from an inflating airbag. The ORC monitors the r eadiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or ON position.
Driver and Passenger Airbag Inflator Units The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units.
inflating side airbag exits through the seat seam into the space between the occupant and the door . The side airbags fully inflate in about 10 milliseconds.
Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network r emains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the nature of the event the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System to perform the following functions: • Cut off fuel to the engine.
airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat. If you have skin or eye irritation, rinse the area with cool water . For nose or throat irritation, move to fresh air . If the irritation continues, see your doctor .
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not attempt to modify any part of your ad- vanced airbag system. The airbag may inflate accidentally or may not function properly if modi- fications are made. T ake your vehicle to an autho- rized dealer for any advanced airbag system ser- vice.

of child restraints can be used rearward-facing: infant carriers and ⬙ convertible ⬙ child seats. Both types of child restraints are held in the vehicle by the lap/ shoulder belt. • The infant carrier is only used r earward-facing in the vehicle.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
• If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the r estraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the latch plate around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secure, try a differ ent seating position.
Child r estraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seat back tether anchorage have been available for some time.
NOTE: • When using the LA TCH attaching system to install a child restraint, please ensure that all seat belts not being used for occupant restraints are stowed and out of reach of children. It is recommended that befor e installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
W e urge you to carefully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child restraint. Many , but not all, restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector , and a means for adjusting the tension in the strap.
then allow the belt to retract into the retractor . For additional information on ALR, refer to “Automatic Locking Mode” in this section. T o install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the r etractor to route it through the belt path of the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
T ether Anchorage Points at the Right and Center Front Seat (Regular Cab - All Seats) 1. Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor dir ectly behind the seat.
Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence (Quad Cab 威 /Crew Cab - Rear Seats) 1. Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the rear glass and rear seat.
2. Place a child restraint on each outboard rear seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor directly behind the seat and then to the anchor directly behind the center rear seat. 3. Pass each tether strap hook under the head r estraint and through the loop of webbing behind the child seat.

Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who are large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the fr ont of the seat when their back is against the seat back should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
The recommended viscosity and quality grades are shown in Section 7 of this manual. NON-DETERGENT OR STRAIGHT MINERAL OILS MUST NEVER BE USED. A new engine may consume some oil during its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of operation. This should be considered a normal part of the break-in and not inter- preted as an indication of difficulty .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside the V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts. Damaged parts must be r eplaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced after a collision.
Lights Have someone observe the operation of exterior lights while you work the controls. Check turn signal and high beam indicator lights on the instrument panel. Door Latches Check for positive closing, latching, and locking. Fluid Leaks Check area under vehicle after overnight parking for fuel, engine coolant, oil, or other fluid leaks.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belt. The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter from overheating.
T ip Start Feature Do not press the accelerator . T urn the ignition key briefly to the ST AR T position and r elease it. The starter motor will continue to run but will automatically disengage when the engine is running.
If the engine has been flooded, it may start to run, but not have enough power to continue running when the key is released. If this occurs, continue cranking with the accel- erator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key once the engine is running smoothly .
AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. • Shift into or out of REVERSE only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop and the engine is at idle speed.
Brake/T ransmission Shift Interlock System This vehicle is equipped with a Brake T ransmission Shift Interlock System (BTSI) that holds the shift lever in the P ARK position when the ignition switch is in the LOCK position.
Center Console Shifter — If Equipped There is an override for the BTSI that allows you to move the shift lever out of the P ARK position if an electrical system malfunction occurs (i.
Four–Speed Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped NOTE: Under extremely cold temperatures (-6°F (-21°C) and when in DRIVE, transmission operation may be briefly limited to only second gear operation. Normal operation will resume once the transmission temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
REVERSE This range is for moving the vehicle rearwar d. Use this range only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. NEUTRAL This range is used when the vehicle is standing for prolonged periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range.
Overdrive Operation The Over drive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled fourth and fifth gear (OVERDRIVE). The transmission will automatically shift from third gear to OVERD.
When T o Use TOW/HAUL Mode When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc- curs, press the TOW/HAUL switch. This will improve performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting.
T ransmission Limp Home Mode T ransmission function is monitored for abnormal condi- tions. If a condition is detected that could r esult in transmission damage, the T ransmission Limp Home Mode will be engaged. In this mode, the transmission will remain in the current gear until the vehicle is brought to a stop.
Five–Speed Automatic T ransmission — If Equipped The shift lever display located in the instrument panel cluster indicates the transmission gear range. The shift lever is mounted either on the right side of the steering column (if equipped) or on the floor console (if equipped).
On vehicles equipped with 4.7L or 5.7L engines, use of ERS (or TOW/HAUL mode) also enables an additional underdrive gear which is not normally used during through-gear accelerations. This additional gear im- proves vehicle performance and cooling capability when towing a trailer on certain grades.
W ARNING! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid. Screen Display 1234 5 * D Actual Gear(s) Allowed 1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-5 * Applies to vehicles equipped with 4.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK. Check by trying to move the shift lever back and forth without first pulling it toward you after you have set it in P ARK. Make sure it is in P ARK before leaving the vehicle.
Overdrive Operation The Over drive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically controlled fourth and fifth gear (Overdrive). The transmission will automatically shift from DRIVE to Overdrive i.
performance and reduce the potential for transmission overheating or failure due to excessive shifting. When operating in the TOW/HAUL mode, fifth gear is dis- abled and 2-3 and 3-4 shift patterns are modified.
NOTE: • The torque converter clutch will not engage until the transmission fluid and engine coolant (antifreeze) are warm [usually after 1 to 3 miles (1.6 to 4.8 km) of driving]. Because the engine speed is higher when the torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission is not shifting into Overdrive when cold.

desired position. Refer to “Shifting Procedure” for spe- cific shifting instructions. The 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions are designed for loose, slippery road surfaces only . Driving in the 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions on dry hard surfaced r oads may cause in- creased tire wear and damage to the driveline compo- nents.
the control knob back to the current position, wait five seconds, and retry selection. T o find the shift require- ments, refer to the ⬙ Shifting Procedur e ⬙ for your transfer case, located in this section. The “SVC 4WD W arning Light” monitors the electr onic shift four -wheel drive system.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission position.
Shifting Procedure NOTE: • If any of the requirements to select a new transfer case position have not been met, the transfer case will not shift. The position indicator light for the previous positi.
selected position indicator light will flash and the origi- nal position indicator light will remain ON. At this time, reduce speed and stop spinning the wheels to complete the shift. 2WD or 4WD LOCK ⇔ 4WD LOW NOTE: When shifting into or out of 4WD LOW some gear noise may be heard.
NOTE: • If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferr ed or Alternate Procedur e are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift, then the desired position indicator light will flash continuously while the original position indicator light is ON, until all requir ements have been met.
• Four-wheel drive low range (4WD LOW) • Neutral (NEUTRAL) This electronically shifted transfer case is designed to be driven in the two–wheel drive position (2WD) or four- wheel drive position (4WD AUTO) for normal street and highway conditions on dry hard surfaced r oads).
T ransfer Case Position Indicator Lights The T ransfer Case Position Indicator Lights (4WD, 4LOW , and 4WD AUTO) are located on the instrument cluster and indicate the current and desired transfer case selection.
W ARNING! Always engage the parking brake when powering down the vehicle if the “SVC 4WD W arning Light” is illuminated. Not engaging the parking brake may allow the vehicle to roll which may cause personal injury . NOTE: Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or rear wheels ar e spinning.
For additional information on the appropriate use of each transfer case mode position see the information below: 2WD Rear-Wheel Drive High Range - This range is for normal street and highway driving on dry hard surfaced roads. 4WD AUTO Four-Wheel Drive Auto Range - This range sends power to the rear wheels.
position indicator light will continue to flash until all the requirements for the selected position have been met. T o retry a shift: return the contr ol knob back to the original position, make certain all shift requir ements have been met, wait five seconds and try the shift again.
3. While still r olling, rotate the transfer case control switch to the desired position. 4. After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmission back into gear . Alternate Procedure 1. Bring the vehicle to complete stop.
slippery surface, a slight application of the accelerator will supply maximum traction. When starting with only one rear wheel on an excessively slippery surface, slight momentary application of the parking brake may be necessary to gain maximum traction.
DRIVING THROUGH W A TER Driving through water more than a few inches/ centimeters deep will requir e extra caution to ensure safety and prevent damage to your vehicle. Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off).
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
DRIVING OFF-ROAD Care should be taken when attempting to climb steep hills or driving diagonally acr oss a hill or slope. If natural obstacles for ce you to travel diagonally up or down a hill, choose a mild angle and keep as little side tilt as possible.
If for some reason the power assist is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these condi- tions, you will observe a substantial increase in steering effort, especially at very low vehicle speeds and during parking maneuvers.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not required. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
P ARKING BRAKE The foot-operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instr ument panel. T o r elease the parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle. NOTE: The “Brake W arning Light” will come on and flash to indicate that the parking brake is applied.
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave the transmission in P ARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury . • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System W ARNING! The Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System contains sophisticated electronic equipment. It may be sus- ceptible to interference caused by improperly in- stalled or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
ABS W arning Light The ABS includes an amber warning light. When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The system reverts to standard, non-anti-lock brakes. W ARNING! • Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
NOTE: The MDS system may take some time to return to full functionality after a battery disconnect. ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEM Y our vehicle is equipped with an advanced electronic brake control .
T raction Control System (TCS) The TCS monitors the amount of wheel spin of each of the driven wheels. If wheel spin is detected, brake pressur e is applied to the slipping wheel(s), and engine power is reduced to provide enhanced acceleration and stability .
W ARNING! • The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of phys- ics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
HSA Activation Criteria The following criteria must be met in order for HSA to activate: • V ehicle must be stopped • V ehicle must be on a 7% or greater incline • Gear selection matches vehicle uphill direction (i.e., vehicle facing uphill is in forward gear; vehicle back- ing uphill is in REVERSE gear).
the system recognizes when the TOW/HAUL switch is activated and compensates by releasing brake pr essure at a slower rate while throttle is applied in order to prevent the vehicle from rolling down the hill.
HSA Off Non-EVIC Equipped V ehicles If you wish to turn off the HSA system, follow this procedur e: 1. Start with the engine OFF , and the vehicle in P ARK with the wheels straight. 2. Start the engine. 3. W ith the engine running and the brake applied, rotate the steering wheel 180° counterclockwise from center .
Electronic Stability Program (ESP) The ESP system enhances directional control and stability of the vehicle under various driving conditions. ESP corrects for oversteering or understeering of the vehicle by applying the brake of the appropriate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.
ESP uses sensors in the vehicle to determine the vehicle path intended by the driver and compares it to the actual path of the vehicle. When the actual path does not match the intended path, ESP applies the brake of the appropri- ate wheel to assist in counteracting the oversteer or understeer condition.
The ESP system has multiple operating modes depend- ing on vehicle type: T wo-Wheel Drive (2WD) or Four- Wheel Drive (4WD). Four-wheel drive vehicles may be equipped with either a four-mode position (2WD/4WD LOCK/4WD LOW/NEUTRAL) or a five-mode position (2WD/4WD AUTO/4WD LOCK/4WD LOW/ NEUTRAL) transfer case.
NOTE: T o improve the vehicle’s traction when driving with snow chains or starting off in deep snow , sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch to the “Partial Off” mode by pr essing the ESP OFF switch.
into the P ARK position from any other position and then moved out of the P ARK position. This will occur even if the message was previously cleared. In this mode, ESP and TCS except for the “limited slip” feature described in the TCS section are turned off until the vehicle reaches a speed of 40 mph (64 km/h).
running. If the “ESP/BAS W arning Light” comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or BAS system or both.
TSC is only active in the default “ESP On” mode. TSC can be disabled by pressing the ESP OFF switch and entering “ESP Partial Of f” mode. It is not active in the “ESP Partial Off” or “ESP Off” modes. Please refer to the ESP portion of this section for an explanation of the dif ferent ESP operating modes.

370 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING I n f o r m a t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pressur es can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tire tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped). This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressures specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pressur e.
Tire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tire inflation pressure is very important.
For additional information, refer to “Freeing A Stuck V ehicle” in Section 6. W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure some- one.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including, but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
TIRE CHAINS Use “Class S” chains, or other traction aids that meet SAE T ype “S” specifications. NOTE: Chains must be the proper size for the vehicle as recommended by the chain manufacturer .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the r ear tires of 4X2 model trucks. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted with P245/70R17 tires only . SNOW TIRES Snow tires should be of the same size and type construc- tion as the fr ont tires.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals. More fre- quent rotation is permissible if desired. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) The T ire Pressur e Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pressure based on the vehicle recommended cold tire inflation placard pressur e. The placard pressur e is defined on the T ir e and Loading Information label.
have been r eceived. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 20 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) to receive this information. As an example, assume your vehicle has a recommended cold tire inflation placard pr essure (parked for more than 3 hours) of 35 psi (241 kPa).
NOTE: • The TPMS is not intended to replace normal tire car e and maintenance, nor to provide warning of a tire failure or condition. • The TPMS should not be used as a tire pressure gauge while adjusting your tire pressure. • Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tir e failur e.

W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR. A dangerous driving condition can result if either rating is exceeded. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and have an accident. T ongue W eight (TW) The tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer .
safety . The addition of a friction/hydraulic sway control also dampens sway caused by traffic and cr osswinds and contributes positively to tow vehicle and trailer stability .
Fifth-Wheel Hitch The fifth-wheel hitch is a special high platform with a coupling that mounts over the r ear axle of the tow vehicle in the truck bed.
Gooseneck Hitch The gooseneck hitch employs a pivoted coupling arm which attaches to a ball mounted in the bed of a pickup truck. The coupling arm connects to the hitch mounted over the rear axle in the truck bed.
All trailer hitches should be professionally installed on your vehicle. T railer T owing Weights (Maximum T railer Weight Ratings) NOTE: For additional trailer towing information (maxi- mum trailer weight ratings) r efer to the following website addresses: • http:// www .
• The weight of any other type of car go or equipment put in or on your vehicle • The weight of the driver and all passengers. NOTE: Remember that everything put into or on the trailer adds to the load on your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Make certain that the load is secured in the trailer and will not shift during travel. When trailering cargo that is not fully secured, dynamic load shifts can occur that may be difficult for the driver to control. Y ou could lose control of your vehicle and have an accident.
T owing Requirements — T ires • Do not attempt to tow a trailer while using a compact spare tire. • Proper tire inflation pressures are essential to the safe and satisfactory operation of your vehicle. Refer to “T ires–General Information” for proper tire inflation procedur es.
CAUTION! If the trailer weighs more than 1,000 lbs (454 kg) loaded, it should have its own brakes and they should be of adequate capacity . Failure to do this could lead to accelerated brake lining wear , higher brake pedal effort, and longer stopping distances.
The electrical connections are all complete to the vehicle but you must mate the harness to a trailer connector . Refer to the following illustrations.
W ARNING! Any work done to the vehicle’s electrical system or wiring should be performed by a qualified automo- tive technician. If done improperly it may cause damage to the electrical system wiring and could result in serious or fatal injury .
Electronic Speed Control — If Equipped − Do not use in hilly terrain or with heavy loads. − When using the speed control, if you experience speed drops greater than 10 mph (16 km/h), disengage until you can get back to cruising speed. − Use speed contr ol in flat terrain and with light loads to maximize fuel efficiency .
CAUTION! Using this vehicle for snowplow applications can cause damage to the vehicle. W ARNING! Attaching a snowplow to this vehicle could adversely affect performance of the airbag system in an acci- dent. Do not expect that the airbag will perform as described earlier in this manual RECREA TIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.
Recreational T owing – Four-Wheel Drive Models CAUTION! Failure to follow these requirements can cause severe damage to the transmission and/or transfer case. NOTE: The electronic shift transfer cases must be shifted into NEUTRAL for r ecr eational towing.
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop. 2. T urn OFF the engine. 3. T urn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not start the engine. 4. Press the brake pedal. 5. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL. 6. Press the transfer case switch NEUTRAL button for four seconds.
• The ignition key must be ON for a shift to take place and for the position indicator lights to be operable. If the key in not ON, the shift will not take place and no position indicator lights will be on or flashing. • The flashing NEUTRAL indicator light indicates that shift requir ements have not been met.
NOTE: • The transfer case cannot be shifted into NEUTRAL from the 4WD AUTO (if equipped) position. • Steps 1 through 5 are requirements that must be met prior to depr essing the transfer case NEUTRAL button and must continue to be met until one second elapses and the shift has been completed.
CAUTION! • Do not use a bumper -mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged. • Do not disconnect the rear driveshaft because fluid will leak from the transfer case and fluid loss will damage internal parts.
