2024 RAM 1500
The driver’s primary responsibility is the safe operation of the vehicle. Driving while
distracted can result in loss of vehicle control, resulting in an accident and personal
injury. FCA US LLC strongly recommends that the driver use extreme caution when
using any device or feature that may take their attention off the road. Use of any
electrical devices, such as cellular telephones, computers, portable radios, vehicle
navigation or other devices, by the driver while the vehicle is moving is dangerous and
could lead to a serious accident. Texting while driving is also dangerous and should
never be done while the vehicle is moving. If you nd yourself unable to devote your
full attention to vehicle operation, pull off the road to a safe location and stop your
vehicle. Some states or provinces prohibit the use of cellular telephones or texting
while driving. It is always the driver’s responsibility to comply with all local laws.
This Owner’s Manual has been prepared to help you get acquainted with your new
Ram brand vehicle and to provide a convenient reference for common questions.
Not all features shown in this manual may apply to your vehicle. For additional
information on accessories to help personalize your vehicle, visit (USA),
owners.mopar.ca (Canada) or your local Ram brand dealer.
This Owner’s Manual is intended to familiarize you with the important features of
your vehicle. Your most up-to-date Owner’s Manual, Radio Instruction Manual and
Warranty Booklet can be found by visiting the website on the back cover.
U.S. Residents: If you are the first registered retail owner of your vehicle, you

Canadian Residents: If you are the rst registered retail owner of your vehicle, you
may obtain a complimentary printed copy of the Warranty Booklet or purchase a
replacement kit by calling 1-800-387-1143 or by contacting your dealer.
DRIVING AND ALCOHOL
Drunk driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Your driving ability can be seriously impaired with blood alcohol levels
far below the legal minimum. If you are drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated non-drinking driver, call a cab, a friend or use
public transportation.
WARNING
Driving after drinking can lead to an accident. Your perceptions are less sharp, your reexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired when you have been drinking. Never drink and then drive.

INTRODUCTION
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Ram vehicle. Be assured that it represents precision workmanship, distinctive styling, and high quality.
This is a specialized utility vehicle. It can go places and perform tasks that are not intended for conventional passenger vehicles. It handles and maneuvers differently from many
passenger vehicles both on-road and off-road, so take time to become familiar with your vehicle. If equipped, the two-wheel drive version of this vehicle was designed for on-road
use only. It is not intended for off-road driving or use in other severe conditions suited for a four-wheel drive vehicle. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Owner’s
Manual. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls, particularly those used for braking, steering, transmission, and transfer case shifting. Learn how your vehicle handles on
different road surfaces. Your driving skills will improve with experience. When driving off-road, or working the vehicle, don’t overload the vehicle or expect the vehicle to overcome
the natural laws of physics. Always observe federal, state, provincial and local laws wherever you drive. As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or a collision page 187.
This Owner's Manual has been prepared with the assistance of service and engineering specialists to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of your vehicle. It is
supplemented by customer-oriented documents. Within this information, you will find a description of the services that FCA US LLC offers to its customers as well as the details of
the terms and conditions for maintaining its validity. Please take the time to read all of these publications carefully before driving your vehicle for the first time. Following the
instructions, recommendations, tips, and important warnings in this manual will help ensure safe and enjoyable operation of your vehicle.
This Owner's Manual describes all versions of this vehicle. Options and equipment dedicated to specific markets or versions are not expressly indicated in the text. Therefore, you
should only consider the information that is related to the trim level, engine, and version that you have purchased. Any content introduced throughout the Owner's Information,
which may or may not be applicable to your vehicle, will be identified with the wording “If Equipped”. All data contained in this publication are intended to help you use your
vehicle in the best possible way. FCA US LLC aims at a constant improvement of the vehicles produced. For this reason, it reserves the right to make changes to the model
described for technical and/or commercial reasons. For further information, contact an authorized dealer.
When it comes to service, remember that authorized dealers know your Ram vehicle best, have factory-trained technicians, genuine Mopar® parts, and care about your
satisfaction.

CONSUMER INFORMATION — TRUCK-CAMPER LOADING
This information is provided in fulfillment of the requirement by the United States Gov-
ernment, Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administra-
tion, that “every manufacturer of trucks that are capable of accommodating slide-in
campers, manufactured on or after April 1, 1973 shall provide... at the time of original
purchase to the first person who purchases the truck”... information on Truck Camper
Loading.
A slide-in camper document is provided in your vehicle’s glove compartment that con-
tains your Vehicle Identification Number, truck model, cargo weight rating, and the
forward/rearward limit of a camper. To obtain additional dimensional and technical
specifications for your vehicle, please visit https://www.ramtrucks.com.
Figure 1 illustrates the dimensions describing the forward and rearward limits of the
zone in which the Center of Gravity (CG) of a slide-in camper must be located, to pro-
vide satisfactory vehicle handling and to prevent overload of the front and rear axles.
Figure 2 illustrates a proper match between truck and camper.
NOTE:
The camper Center of Gravity falls within the specified zone.
INTRODUCTION 9

When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the truck con-
sists of the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the weight of installed additional
camper equipment not included in the manufacturer’s camper weight figure, the
weight of camper cargo, and the weight of passengers in the camper. The total cargo
load should not exceed the truck’s cargo weight rating and the camper’s CG should fall
within the truck’s recommended CG zone when installed.
Secure loose items to prevent weight shifts that could affect the balance of your
vehicle. When the truck camper is loaded, drive to a scale and weigh the front and rear
wheels separately, to determine axle loads. Individual axle loads should not exceed
either of the Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR). The total of the axle loads should not
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). If weight ratings are exceeded, move
or remove items to get the total weight below the ratings.
A — Forward Limit of Camper CG
B — Rearward Limit of Camper CG

NOTE:
These ratings are also provided on the Vehicle Certification Label located on the driv-
er’s side B-pillar. See page 173 for more information.
For any additional instructions, please contact your conversion/camper manufacturer
or an authorized dealer.
Camper Applications — TRX Only

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE
KEYS
KEY FOB
Your vehicle is equipped with a key fob which supports
Passive Entry, Remote Keyless Entry (RKE), Keyless
Enter ‘n Go™ (if equipped), remote air suspension low-
ering (if equipped), and Remote Start (if equipped). The
key fob allows you to lock or unlock all doors, tailgate,
and the RamBox (if equipped) as well as activate the
Panic Alarm from distances up to approximately 66 ft
(20 m). The key fob does not need to be pointed at the
vehicle to activate the system. The key fob also con-
tains an emergency key, which is stored in the rear of
the key fob.
NOTE:
•The key fob’s wireless signal may be blocked if the
key fob is located next to a mobile phone, laptop, or
other electronic device. This may result in poor
performance.
•If your vehicle is equipped with a Wireless Charging
Pad, the key fob may not be detected if it is placed
within 6 inches (15 cm) of the pad page 66.
•With the ignition in the ON position and the vehicle
moving at 2 mph (4 km/h), all RKE commands are
disabled. In case the ignition switch does not change with the
push of a button, the key fob may have a low or fully
depleted battery. A low key fob battery can be verified
by referring to the instrument cluster display, which will
display a procedure to follow.
NOTE:
A low key fob battery condition may be indicated by a
message in the instrument cluster display, or by the
LED light on the key fob. If the LED key fob light no lon-
ger illuminates from key fob button pushes, then the
key fob battery requires replacement page 19.
To Lock/Unlock The Doors And Tailgate
All doors, liftgate, and RamBox (if equipped) can be
programmed to either unlock on the first push of the
unlock button, or for the first push to unlock only the
driver’s door, then twice within five seconds to unlock
all doors, liftgate, and RamBox (if equipped). To lock all
the doors, liftgate, and RamBox (if equipped), push the
lock button once.
When the doors are unlocked, the turn signals will flash
and the illuminated entry system will be activated.
When the doors are locked, the turn signals will flash
and the horn will chirp.
The horn chirp when the lock button is pushed can be
programmed on/off within Uconnect Settings
page 194.
Using The Panic Feature
To turn the Panic feature on or off, push the Panic but-
ton on the key fob. When the Panic feature is activated,
the turn signals will flash, the horn may pulse on and
off (if equipped with horn alarm), and the interior lights
will turn on.
