Check trans (Allison automatic transmission)
The lamp will illuminate for several
seconds after the ignition is turned
to the ON position. Illumination of
this light indicates that a problem
has been detected and shifting may
be restricted. Depending upon the
severity of the problem, the
read-out digit on the shifter display
may be blank. Operation may
continue in order or reach service assistance. The ECU may not respond
to shift selector requests, since operating limitations are being placed on
the transmission, i.e. upshifts and downshifts may be restricted.
Direction changes will not occur.
Refer to theMaintenance and Carechapter.
Safety belt
Momentarily illuminates when the
ignition is turned to the ON position
to remind you to fasten your safety
belts. For more information, refer to
theSeating and safety restraints
chapter.
Service engine soon
TheService Engine Soonindicator
light illuminates when the ignition is
first turned to the ON position to
check the bulb. If it comes on after
the engine is started, one of the
engine’s control systems may be
malfunctioning. The light may illuminate without a driveability concern
being noted. The vehicle will usually be drivable and will not require
towing.
Temporary malfunctions may cause yourService Engine Soonlight to
illuminate. Examples are:
1. The vehicle has run out of fuel. (The engine may misfire or run
poorly.)
2. Poor fuel quality or water in the fuel.

These and other temporary malfunctions can be corrected by filling the
fuel tank with good quality fuel. After three driving cycles without these
or any other temporary malfunctions present, theService Engine Soon
light should turn off. (A driving cycle consists of a cold engine startup
followed by mixed city/highway driving.) No additional vehicle service is
required.
If theService Engine Soonlight remains on, have your vehicle serviced
at the first available opportunity.
Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust temperatures
could damage the fuel system, interior floor coverings or other
vehicle components, possibly causing a fire.

SAFETY RESTRAINTS
Safety restraints precautions
Always drive and ride with your seatback upright and the lap
belt snug and low across the hips.

injury in a collision.
Seating and safety restraints

All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should always
properly wear their safety belts, even when an air bag SRS is
provided.
It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or
outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and
safety belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a
safety belt properly.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely
to die than a person wearing a seat belt.
Each seating position in your vehicle has a specific safety belt
assembly which is made up of one buckle and one tongue that
are designed to be used as a pair. 1) Use the shoulder belt on the
outside shoulder only. Never wear the shoulder belt under the arm.
2) Never swing the safety belt around your neck over the inside
shoulder. 3) Never use a single belt for more than one person.
Always transport children 12 years old and under in the back
seat and always properly use appropriate child restraints.
Combination lap and shoulder belts
1. Insert the belt tongue into the
proper buckle (the buckle closest to
the direction the tongue is coming
from) until you hear a snap and feel
it latch. Make sure the tongue is
securely fastened in the buckle.

2. To unfasten, push the release
button and remove the tongue from
the buckle.
The front and rear outboard safety restraints in the vehicle are
combination lap and shoulder belts. The front and rear seat passenger
outboard safety belts have vehicle sensitive emergency locking retractors.
Vehicle sensitive retractor
The vehicle sensitive retractor allows free shoulder belt length
adjustment to your movements and locks in response to vehicle
movement. For example, if the driver brakes suddenly or turns a corner
sharply, or the vehicle receives an impact of approximately 8 km/h (5
mph) or more, the combination safety belts will lock to help reduce
forward movement of the driver and passengers.
Front safety belt height adjustment
SuperCab and CrewCab vehicle has safety belt height adjustments for
the driver and front passenger. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt so
the belt rests across the middle of your shoulder.
