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. Chrysler Group 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 cell phones, 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.

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.

This guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with  
your new RAM 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

Not all features shown in this guide may apply to your vehicle. For
