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 transportation.

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

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER LLC

Chrysler LLC and Cummins威welcome you as a Cum-

mins威turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.

Almost 100% of all heavy duty trucks are diesel-powered

because of the fuel economy, rugged durability, and high

torque which permits pulling heavy loads. Cummins威,

engines power well over half of these trucks. Now this

same technology and proven performance is yours in

your truck equipped with the Cummins威turbocharged

diesel engine.

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. 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.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering

wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle with-

out the ignition key. If the steering wheel is moved

approximately a half turn in either direction and the key

is not in the ignition switch, the steering wheel will lock.

To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel

With the engine running, turn the steering wheel upside

down, turn off the engine and remove the key. Turn the

steering wheel slightly in either direction until the lock

engages.

To Release the Steering Wheel Lock

Insert the key in the ignition switch and start the engine.

If the key is difficult to turn, move the wheel slightly to

the right or left to disengage the lock.

NOTE: If you turned the wheel to the right to engage

the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to

disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage

the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The Cummins威turbocharged diesel engine does not

require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal

operation is allowed, providing the following recommen-

dations are followed:

NOTE: Light duty operation such as light trailer towing

or no load operation will extend the time before the

engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and

power may be seen at this time.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

For additional vehicle break-in requirements, refer to

“Trailer Towing” in Section 5 of the Owners Manual.

•

Warm up the engine before placing it under load.

•

Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged

periods.

•

Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent

engine lugging.

•

Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indica-

tors.

•

Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.

•

Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carry-

ing or towing significant weight.

Because of the construction of the Cummins威turbo-

charged diesel engine, engine run-in is enhanced by

loaded operating conditions which allow the engine

parts to achieve final finish and fit during the first

6,000 miles (10 000 km).
