NOTE:
The engine and transmission block heater cord is a factory installed option. If your
vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are available from your authorized MOPAR
®
dealer.
• A 12 Volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is
controlled by a built-in thermostat.
• A Diesel Pre-Heat system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount
of white smoke generated by a warming engine.
Water In Fuel Message
• If a Generic Warning Light appears in the cluster and a “Service Fuel Filter” message
appears in EVIC, the fuel/water separator will need to be drained immediately to
prevent engine damage.
• Please see your authorized dealer for draining the fuel filter/water separator and
fuel filter replacement.
AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION — DIESEL ONLY
• The automated manual transmission is a conventional six-speed manual trans-
mission with an electronically-controlled hydraulic system that controls the clutch
and gear shifting. In forward gears, this transmission offers two modes of
operation: MANUAL (M) mode (where the driver controls the transmission shift-
ing), and Automatic mode (the DRIVE [D] position), where the electronic system
controls the gear shifts. In either mode, there is no clutch pedal; the electronic
system always controls the clutch operation.
NOTE:
• Engine torque will be interrupted briefly during the transmission upshifts, making
these shifts more abrupt than with a typical automatic transmission. This is
normal.
• Although transmission shifting is performed automatically, the vehicle will not
"creep" when the brake pedal is released, and may in fact roll backwards on an
incline. At a stop, the accelerator pedal must be pressed to transmit driving torque
to the wheels.
• In Automatic Mode the Automated Manual Transmission adapts the gear changing
strategy evaluating the road condition such as slopes and bends in the in the road.
• During low-speed driving conditions in first gear, vehicle momentum changes may
feel exaggerated in response to changes in accelerator pedal position. This
behavior is normal and is similar to other vehicles equipped with a manual
transmission.
