Fuel Gage
Standard Cluster Digital Cluster
The fuel gage tells you about how much fuel you have remaining when the
ignition is
on. When the gage first indicates empty, you still have a little fuel
left, but you should get more fuel soon.
A box around the gage symbol on the digital cluster will begin to flash when
your tank
is 1/8 full or less.
Here are four things that some owners ask about. None
of these show a
problem with your fuel gage:
0 At the gas station, the gas pump shuts off before the gage reads full.
It takes a little more or less fuel to fill up than the gage indicated. For
example, the gage may have indicated the tank was half
full, but it
actually took a little more or less than half the tank’s capacity to fill the
tank.
The gage moves a little when you turn a corner or speed up.
The gage doesn’t go back to empty when you turn off the ignition.
For your fuel tank capacity, see
the Index under “Fluid Capacities.”

high warning zones indicate the normal
operating range.

If you must drive, turn off all unnecessary accessories.
Readings in either warning zone indicate a possible problem
in the electrical

Your vehicle may have either a 5-wire or 7-wire harness.
The light duty trailer wiring is a 5-wire harness assembly taped and bundled
at the left corner
of the vehicle interior, next to the endgate. The harness has
no connector, and you should have a qualified service person wire your
harness for
you. It must be routed out of your vehicle and attached so that
the trailer or the body won’t pull
it.
The heavy duty trailer wiring is a 7-wire harness assembly consisting of a
5-wire harness and a 2-wire harness taped together and stored under the
vehicle, along
the rear frame crossmember. It has a 30-amp feed wire with
an inline fuse located by the junction block. See “Fuses and Circuit
Breakers” in the Index.
Both the 5-wire harness and the 2-wire harness have no connector and
should be wired by a qualified service person. Attach the harness to the
trailer, then tape or strap
it to your vehicle’s frame rail. Be sure you leave it
loose enough so the wiring doesn’t bend or break, but not so loose that it
drags
on the ground.
Store the harness in its original place.
Wrap the harness together and tie it
neatly so it won’t be damaged.

Flow-Through Ventilation System
Your vehicle’s flow-through ventilation system supplies outside air to the
inside of your vehicle when it is moving. With the side windows closed, air
will flow into the front air
inlet grilles, through the vehicle, and out the rear
air exhaust valve. Outside air will also enter the vehicle when the heater
or
the air conditioning fan is running.
Ventilation Tips
Keep the hood and front air inlet free of ice, snow, or any other
obstruction (such
as leaves). The heater and defroster will work far
better, reducing the chance of fogging the inside
of your windows.
When you enter a vehicle in cold weather, turn the blower fan to HI for
a few moments before driving
off. This helps clear the intake ducts of
snow and moisture, and reduces the chance of fogging the inside of
your windows.
Keep the air path under the front seats clear of objects. This helps air to
circulate throughout your vehicle.
