RAM CHASSIS CAB 2024, Owner'S Manual

Page: 150 / 360

WARNING!
In case of engine runaway, due to flammable fumes
from fuel spills or turbocharger oil leaks being sucked
into the engine, do the following to help avoid per-
sonal injury and/or vehicle damage:
•
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
•
Using a CO2 or dry chemical type fire extinguisher,
direct the spray from the fire extinguisher into the
grille on the passenger side so that the spray
enters the engine air intake.
The inlet for the engine air intake is located behind
the passenger side headlamp and receives air
through the grille.
REFUELING THE VEHICLE — GASOLINE
ENGINE
If the fuel filler cap is lost or damaged, be sure the
replacement cap is the correct one for this vehicle.
1. Remove the fuel cap by rotating it counterclockwise.
2. Insert the refueling nozzle into the filler pipe.
3. Fill the vehicle with fuel.
NOTE:
○
When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the
fuel tank is full.
○
Wait five seconds before removing the fuel
nozzle to allow excess fuel to drain from the
nozzle.
4. Remove the refueling nozzle, reinstall the fuel cap.
WARNING!
•
Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the
vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank is
being filled.
•
Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is run-
ning. This is in violation of most state and federal fire
regulations and may cause the MIL to turn on.
CAUTION!
•
Damage to the fuel system or emissions control
system could result from using an improper fuel
tank filler tube cap (fuel filler cap). A poorly fitting
cap could let impurities into the fuel system. Also,
a poorly-fitted aftermarket cap can cause the Mal-
function Indicator Light (MIL) to illuminate due to
fuel vapors escaping from the system.
•
A poorly fitting fuel filler cap may cause the MIL to
turn on.
•
To avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top
off” the fuel tank after filling.
NOTE:
Tighten the gas cap a quarter turn until you hear one click.
This is an indication that the cap is properly tightened.
If the gas cap is not tightened properly, the Malfunction
Indicator Light will come on. Be sure the gas cap is
tightened every time the vehicle is refueled.
WARNING!
A fire may result if gasoline is pumped into a portable
container that is inside of a vehicle. You could be
burned. Always place gas containers on the ground
while filling.
LOOSE FUEL FILLER CAP MESSAGE
If the vehicle diagnostic system determines that the
fuel filler cap is loose, improperly installed, or damaged,
a loose gASCAP indicator will display in the instrument
cluster telltale display area
page 78. Tighten the
fuel filler cap properly and push the RIGHT button to
turn off the message. If the problem continues, the
message will appear the next time the vehicle is
started.
