POWER W AGON: THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE Y our Power W agon is a specialty vehicle, equipped with several features not available on other pr oduction trucks. It is very important that you read the following sections of the owner’s manual before operation.
Ignition Key Removal Automatic T ransmission Place the shift lever in P ARK. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, and remove the key . NOTE: If you try to remove the key befor e you place the lever in P ARK, the key may become trapped temporarily in the ignition cylinder .
W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children in a vehicle unattended is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seriously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the keys in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
Locking Doors With The Key Y ou can insert the key with either side up. T o lock the door , turn the key rearwar d, to unlock the door , turn the key forward. See Section 7 of this manual for door lock lubrication. STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED Y our vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering wheel 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.
If the V ehicle Security Alarm Indicator Light turns on during normal vehicle operation (vehicle running for longer than 10 seconds), it indicates that there is a fault in the electronics. Should this occur , have the vehicle ser- viced as soon as possible.
4. Insert a blank Sentry Key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch ON within 60 seconds. After 10 seconds a single chime will sound and the V ehicle Theft Alarm Indicator Light will stop flashing, turn on again for 3 seconds, and then turn off.
Rearming of the System: The security system will rearm itself after the 15 addi- tional minutes of headlights and security telltale flashing, if the system has not been disabled. If the condition which initiated the alarm is still present, the system will ignore that condition and monitor the r emaining doors and ignition.
The Security Alarm System is designed to protect your vehicle; however , you can create conditions wher e the system will arm unexpectedly . If you remain in the vehicle and lock the doors with the transmitter , the alarm will sound when you pull the door handle to exit.

of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions except the Quad Cab front center seating position have combination lap/shoulder belts.
W ARNING! • 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 the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly .
4. Position the lap belt acr oss 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.
6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position. If necessary , slide the latch plate down the webbing to allow the belt to retract fully . W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection.
2. T o reattach the seat belt to the fr ont center seat, pull the black buckle latch plate forward fr om the cab back panel and insert it into the black keyed buckle until there is an audible click. Refer to the previous section for the proper seat belt usage.
Inserting Latch Plate In Use Position 40 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
W ARNING! If the black latch and buckle are not connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not restrain you properly . Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck.
Automatic Locking Restraint (ALR) Mode – If Equipped In this mode, the shoulder belt is automatically pre- locked. The belt will still retract to r emove any slack in the shoulder belt. The automatic locking mode is avail- able on all passenger seating positions with a combina- tion lap/shoulder belt.
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.
Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert) will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women W e recommend that pr egnant women use seat belts throughout their pr egnancies. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the baby safe. Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible.
These airbags are certified to the new Federal r egulations that allow less forceful deployments. This vehicle may also be equipped with window bags to protect the driver and passengers in the first and second row sitting next to a window . If the vehicle is equipped with window bags, they are located above the side windows.
NOTE: Do not use a clothing bar mounted to the coat hooks in this vehicle. A clothing bar will impede the proper performance of the window bags. Airbags inflate in moderate to high speed impacts. Along with the seatbelts, front airbags work with the instr ument panel knee bolsters to provide impr oved protection for the driver and front passenger .
seats should ride properly buckled up in the r ear seat. Never allow children to slide the shoulder belt behind them or under their arm. • All occupants should use their seat belts properly . • The driver and front passenger seats should be moved back as far as practical to allow the airbag room to inflate.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag • Steering Wheel and Column • Inst.
• The airbag control module also monitors the r eadiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever the ignition switch is in the ST AR T or RUN positions. These include all of the items listed above except the knee bolsters, the instrument panel, and the steering wheel and column.
passenger’s front airbag is deflated thr ough vent holes in the sides of the airbag. In this way the airbags do not interfere with your contr ol of the vehicle. • The knee impact bolsters help protect the knees and position you for the best interaction with the front airbag.

Identification dots are located above the standar d cab front seat lower anchorages as a guide for locating lower anchors. NOTE: For children riding in the fr ont seat of a Stan- dard Cab model r efer to the “Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch” located in this section.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for some time.
Installing the Child Restraint System W ARNING! Do not install child restraint systems equipped with LA TCH attachments in the center position of a Quad Cab model rear seat. The LA TCH anchorages in this seat are designed for the two outboard seating posi- tions only .
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
2. Lift the cover (if so equipped), and attach the hook to the square opening in the sheet metal. 3. Install the child r estraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to the manufactur er’s instructions. Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence - (Quad Cab Rear Seats) 1.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES – GAS ENGINES The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating. W ARNING! Be sure to turn off the engine if you want to rest or sleep in your car .
Normal Starting Normal starting of either a warm or cold engine is obtained without pumping or depressing the accelerator pedal. T urn the key to the ST AR T position and release when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the starting pr ocedure.
CAUTION! T o prevent damage to the starter , do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. W ait 10 to 15 seconds before trying again. W ARNING! Never pour fuel or other flammable liquids into the throttle body air inlet opening in an attempt to start the vehicle.
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 .
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cord. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. W ARNING! Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P (Park).
“N” Neutral Shift to Neutral when the vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. NOTE: T owing the vehicle, coasting, or driving, with the transmission in neutral (N) position, can cause severe damage to the transmission.
• the engine coolant has reached normal operating tem- perature; • vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48 km/h); • the “TOW HAUL O/D OFF” switch has not been activated; • transmission has reached normal operating tempera- ture.
When T o Use “TOW HAUL” and “O/D OFF” Modes When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc- curs, press the “T OW HAUL O/D OFF” button once to select TOW HAUL.
T orque Converter Clutch A featur e, designed to improve fuel economy , has been included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle. A clutch within the torque converter engages automati- cally at calibrated speeds. This may result in a slightly differ ent feeling or response during normal operation in the upper gears.
T ruck models with manual transmission are equipped with a clutch interlocking ignition system. The clutch pedal must be fully depressed to start the vehicle. Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal.
T o shift into Reverse, come to a complete stop. Depress the clutch and pause briefly to allow the gear train to stop. Reverse has a “crash-through” lockout featur e. Move the shift lever from the Neutral position straight across, in one swift motion, and down into Reverse.
Maximum Recommended Downshifting Speeds Gear Selec- tion 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Maxi- mum Speed 16 mph (25 km/h) 30 mph (48 km/h) 50 mph (80 km/h) 76 mph (122 km/h) 105 mph (168 km/h) CAUTION! Failure to follow the recommended downshifting speeds may cause the engine to over speed and / or damage the clutch disc even if the clutch pedal is depressed.
road surfaces only . Driving in the 4H and 4L positions on dry hard surfaced r oads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the Neutral (N) position without first fully engaging the parking brake.
Shifting Procedure - Manually Shifted T ransfer Case 2H ⇔ 4H Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is in motion, shifts can be made up to 55 mph (88 km/h).
NOTE: Shifting into or out of 4L is possible with the vehicle completely stopped, however difficulty may oc- cur due to the mating clutch teeth not being properly aligned. Several attempts may be requir ed for clutch teeth alignment and shift completion to occur .
W ARNING! On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differen- tial, never run the engine with one rear wheel off the ground, since the vehicle may drive through the rear wheel remaining on the ground. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. Care should be taken to avoid sudden accelerations when both rear wheels ar e on a slippery surface.
Axle Locker System Dodge Power W agons are equipped with electr onically locking front and r ear axles. Locking the axles provides greater traction in sever e low traction conditions or in rock climbing envir onments where one wheel is likely to not be in contact with the ground.
The switch has three positions, AXLE UNLOCK, REAR LOCK, and FRONT/REAR. Under normal driving con- ditions the switch should be left in the AXLE UNLOCK position. In the AXLE UNLOCK position, the fr ont and rear axles ar e unlocked. In the REAR LOCK position, the rear axle is locked.
NOTE: Left to right wheel speed differ ence may be necessary to allow the axle to fully lock. If the indicator light is flashing after placing the switch in the REAR LOCK or FRONT/REAR position, drive the vehicle in a turn or on loose gravel to expedite the locking action.
Stabilizer/Sway Bar System Power W agon vehicles are equipped with an electr onic disconnecting stabilizer/sway bar . This system allows greater fr ont suspension travel in off-road situations. This system is controlled by the electr onic control sway bar switch located on the instrument panel.

A winch can deliver a high pulling force with a gr eat deal of control. It allows you to walk the vehicle out of the situation in a slow controlled manor .
W ARNING! W inch cables are under high tension when in use and can become a projectile if they fail. Never stand over or straddle the winch cable. Never jerk or overload the winch cable. Never stand in front of the vehicle while winching. Failure to follow these in- structions can result in serious or fatal injury .
W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking. Y ou might not have full braking power when you need it to prevent an accident. If you have been operating your vehicle in dirty conditions, get your brakes checked and cleaned as necessary .
3. Apply at least 500 lbs. of tension to the r ope while winding the rope in. Always use care to ensur e the rope does not pile up on one side of the drum and is neatly wound onto the drum. CAUTION! W ire rope must spool on the winch drum in the direction indicated on the drum rotation decal on the winch.
UNDERST ANDING THE FEA TURES OF YOUR WINCH W inch Components ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 291 5.
1. Motor: The winch motor is powered by the vehicle charging system and featur es a thermal protection switch that automatically stops motor function in the power-in direction if the motor gets too hot. 2. Remote Socket: The remote socket allows the r emote control to be attached to the contr ol pack to allow the winch to function.
WINCH ACCESSORIES The following accessories are necessary to attach the winch to anchors, change direction of pull, and for safe winching. Gloves: W ire rope, thr ough use, will develop 9 barbs 9 which can slice skin. It is ex- tremely important to wear protective gloves while oper - ating the winch or handling the wire r ope.
Clevis/D-Shackles: The D-Shackle is a safe means of connecting the looped ends of cables, straps and snatch blocks. The shackle’s pin is threaded to allow easy r e- moval.
General Information Practice using your winch before you get stuck. Some key points to remember when using your winch ar e: 1. Always take your time to assess the situation and plan your pull carefully . 2. Always take your time when using a winch. 3.
CAUTION! Be careful not to pull the W inch Cable Collar through the rollers. W atch and listen to W inch for proper snugness. 1. Inspect the winch, winch mount, and wir e rope for damage. Do not use the winch if the mount is loose or rope shows excessive wear or damage.
4. Fr ee the winch hook and attach hook strap. Free the winch hook from its anchor point. Attach hook strap to the hook (if not attached). 5. Pull wir e to anchor point.
over-wrap when slackened, leading to wir e rope damage. T o prevent losing the end, hold the hook strap while you work. 6. Secur e to the anchor point. Once you’ve established your anchor point, secure the tr ee-trunk protector or choker-chain ar ound the object.
NOTE: How to choose an anchor point: A secure anchor is critical to winching operations. An anchor must be strong enough to hold while winching. Natural an- chors include trees, stumps and r ocks. Hook the cable as low as possible. If no natural anchors are available when recovering another vehicle, your vehicle becomes the anchor point.
9. Connect the r emote control to the winch control box, located behind the front bumper . Be careful not to let the remote contr ol cord dangle in front of the winch. If you choose to control the winch fr om inside your vehicle, always pass the remote thr ough a window to avoid pinching the cord in the door .
12. Check wire r ope. The wire r ope should be neatly wound around the spooling dr um. Improper winding can cause damage to the wire r ope. 13. In certain situations you may decide to throw a heavy blanket or similar object over the wire r ope. A heavy blan- ket can absorb energy should the wire r ope break.

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 an automatic transmission in Park, a manual transmission in Reverse or First gear . Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
Brake Noise During normal operation of the brake system certain noises may be present fr om time to time. Occasional 9 groan 9 or 9 squeal 9 noises may occur during normal operation of the brake system which may not be indica- tive of a problem.
W ARNING! Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason, the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.

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.
1. Safety— W ARNING! • Improperly inflated tires are dangerous and can cause accidents. • Under inflation increases tire flexing and can result in tire failure. • Over inflation reduces a tire’s ability to cushion shock. Objects on the road and chuckholes can cause damage that result in tire failure.
maximum loaded vehicle condition. These pressur e con- ditions will be found in the “Supplemental T ire Pressur e Information” section of this manual. The pressur e should be checked and adjusted as well as inspecting for signs of tire wear or visible damage at least once a month.
Check tire pr essures more often if subject to a wide range of outdoor temperatures, as tir e pressures vary with temperature changes. T ire pressur es change by approximately 1 psi (7 kPa) per 12° F (7° C) of air temperature change. Keep this in mind when checking tire pr essure inside a garage, especially in the winter .
W ARNING! High speed driving with your vehicle under maxi- mum load is dangerous. The added strain on your tires could cause them to fail. Y ou could have a serious accident. Don’t drive a vehicle loaded to the maximum capacity at continuous speeds above 75 mph (120 km/h).
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or replaced) and r ein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
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 someone.
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 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 un- approved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. NOTE: On 4x4 Power W agon models, class “U” snow chains are permitted on the r ear wheels only of vehicles equipped with L T285/70R17D. CAUTION! Do not use tire chains on the 4X4 front wheels of Ram T rucks equipped with L T285/70R17D.
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform different steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.

accumulation of bugs, leaves, etc. If dirty , clean by gently spraying water from a gar den hose vertically down the face of the condenser . Check the coolant recovery bottle tubing for brittle r ub- ber , cracking, tears, cuts and tightness of the connection at the bottle and radiator .
CAUTION! Mixing of coolants other than specified HOA T en- gine coolants, may result in engine damage and may decrease corrosion protection. If a non-HOA T cool- ant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency , it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
The use of lower quality water will reduce the amount of corrosion pr otection in the engine cooling system. Please note that it is the owner’s responsibility to main- tain the proper level of pr otection against freezing ac- cording to the temperatur es occurring in the area where the vehicle is operated.
do not store ethylene glycol based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground. If ingested by a child, contact a physician immediately . Clean up any ground spills immediately . Coolant Level The coolant bottle provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate.
• Check coolant freeze point in the radiator and in the coolant recovery bottle. If antifr eeze needs to be added, contents of coolant recovery bottle must also be protected against fr eezing.
Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks are present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from for eign matter or moisture.
Rear Axle And 4x4 Front Driving Axle Fluid Level Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct Fluid type. For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not r equired. When the vehicle is serviced for other reasons the exterior surfaces of the axle assembly should be inspected.
T ransfer Case Fluid Level Check This fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug. The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with the vehicle in a level position. Lubricant Selection Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for correct fluid type.
Fluid Level Check – 545RFE Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal operating temperature 82°C (180°F). This occurs after at least 15 miles (25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature the fluid cannot be held comfortably be- tween the fingertips.
