Easter Eggs (Owner's Manual)

[SpeedyV]

I thought I'd point out at least a few "Easter Eggs" in the owner's manual. Feel free to add your own! Here goes:

• On page 128, the manual states that there are TWO 400W power inverters on certain models (front and rear of center console). This implies you can have two devices drawing up to 400W each plugged in simultaneously. Is this correct, or is it a typo?
• On page 181, there is a reference to the "Swing Gate Open Warning Light". Well, isn't THAT interesting. The mythical swing gate surfaces again...
• You will find the word "eTorque" exactly ONCE in the entire manual...on page 337. This is also the ONLY reference to a "hybrid electric battery". There is NO reference to "48V" anywhere in the manual, even though there are MANY warnings about the dangers of jump starting a vehicle and 12V battery terminals.
• If you run out of gas, see page 405. A funnel is provided (with the "jack and jack tool kit") to enable you to refill the truck with a portable gas can, since most gas cans do not have a neck that can open the flapper doors.
• On page 666, you'll find the "CD/DVD Disc Maintenance" section. But where, pray tell, will you find a DVD player?

What am I missing?

Multifunction tailgate is coming, I just don't know when.

The CD player in the dash is also a DVD player if I remember correctly.

As far as the inverters I'm not sure if what they mean is 2 plugs or 2 inverters. Whether you could use both at the same time I'm not sure, I'd say that's up in the air until someone tries it.

There is one 400W inverter and 2 or 3 outlets, depending on trim/options. You can't exceed 400W total across all outlets.

Anxiously awaiting the mutifunction tailgate.

The center console has lots of easter eggs as well, thanks for posting what you saw in the manual.

Then I was correct in thinking that the manual has a typo, as it clearly states, "There is a second inverter...".

 

[edrclark]

Maybe the rambox has a second inverter

Please tell me more about this? Thanks.

Well, we can start with the Ramcharger. The different generations of Ram trucks. The construction formulas and stuff on the lid.

I will find the link to the article in a few

My manual must be different as I don't have same info on page 337 and 405. They getting power plug and power inverter mixed up only 1 power inverter with 2 or 3 plugs.

I should clarify that I'm referencing the PDF version of the manual.

That's another Easter Egg...for the longest time, it was v3. Looks like some updates have arrived!
