24. Low Wash Light

below approximately 1/4 filled. The light will remain on

trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the

26. Fuel Gauge
Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the
ON position.
27. Low Fuel Warning Light
Glows when the pointer is between “E” and 1/8
indication mark (approximately 15% of tank vol-
ume) on the fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge
pointer is on “E” (equivalent to Distance To Empty [DTE]
= 0 on the overhead console if so equipped) there is
reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approxi-
mately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put
in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running
out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions
in areas where there aren’t many gas stations.
Ram fuel tank volumes are as follows:
• 26 gallons (98L) - 1500 short box models
• 34 gallons (129L) - 2500/3500 short box models
• 35 gallons (132L) - 1500/2500/3500 long box models
28. Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light
This light indicates that there is excessive trans-
mission fluid temperature that might occur
with severe usage such as trailer towing. If this
light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the
engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEU-
TRAL until the light goes off.
