To minimize the possibility of catalyst damage:

• Do not shut off the engine or interrupt the ignition

when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in
motion.

• Do not try to start engine by pushing or towing the

vehicle.

• Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires

disconnected or removed, such as when diagnostic
testing, or for prolonged periods during very rough
idling or malfunctioning operating conditions.

Maintenance-Free Battery
All Dodge trucks are equipped with maintenance-free
batteries. You will never have to add water, nor is
periodic maintenance required.

WARNING!

Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con-
tain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands
