RAM 1500 TRX (2022 year). Manual in english

When the truck is used to carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo load of the

truck consists 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.

NOTE:

These ratings are also provided on the vehicle certification label located on the

driver’s side B-pillar. See

page 215 for more information.

For any additional instructions, please contact your conversion/camper

manufacturer or an authorized dealer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE

SENTRY KEY

The Sentry Key Immobilizer system prevents

unauthorized vehicle operation by disabling the

engine. The system does not need to be armed or

activated. Operation is automatic, regardless of

whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The system uses a key fob, keyless push button

ignition and a Radio Frequency (RF) receiver to

prevent unauthorized vehicle operation. Therefore,

only key fobs that are programmed to the vehicle

can be used to start and operate the vehicle. The

system cannot reprogram a key fob obtained from

another vehicle.
After placing the ignition in the ON/RUN position,

the Vehicle Security Light will turn on for three

seconds for a bulb check. If the light remains on

after the bulb check, it indicates that there is a

problem with the electronics. In addition, if the light

begins to flash after the bulb check, it indicates

that someone attempted to start the engine with

an invalid key fob. In the event that a valid key fob

is used to start the engine but there is an issue

with the vehicle electronics, the engine will start

and shut off after two seconds.

If the Vehicle Security 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

serviced as soon as possible by an authorized

dealer.

All of the key fobs provided with your new vehicle

have been programmed to the vehicle electronics

page 490.
