STARTING PROCEDURES

Your vehicle uses the same starting procedures as de-
scribed in the Dodge Ram 1500/2500/3500 Owner’s
Manual. No special starting instructions are required.

NOTE:

Periodically the vehicle will automatically switch

from operation on CNG to Gasoline for a short duration,
depending on conditions. This is done for a number of
reasons, including to maintain the freshness and appro-
priate seasonal blend of gasoline, to ensure maintenance
of the gasoline injectors and/or to meet high-load de-
mands.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS

gas quality as specified in National Fire Protection Asso-
ciation NFPA52 and American National Standard ANSI/

tion (CSA) B51–M1991 G4.1.2 or SAE J1616. Use of
