Stop engine (if equipped)
This light is used in conjunction
with the electronic engine control.
Refer to the Engine Operator’s
Manual for specific information
regarding this feature.
If the engine shuts down, it can be
restarted and operated for 30
seconds at a time or until the
problem is corrected. Refer toEngine shutdown systemin theStarting
chapter.
Drivers of electronically controlled engines should know the
extent of warning engine shutdown system before operating the
vehicle. This information can be obtained from your dealer.
Turn signal
Illuminates when the left or right
turn signal or the hazard lights are
turned on. If one or both of the
indicators stay on continuously or
flash faster, check for a burned-out
turn signal bulb. Refer toExterior bulbsin theMaintenance and care
chapter.
High beams
Illuminates when the high beam
headlamps are turned on.
Anti-lock brake system (ABS)

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.

Driving style—good driving and fuel economy habits
Give consideration to the lists that follow and you may be able to change
a number of variables and improve your fuel economy.
Habits
•Smooth, moderate operation can yield up to 10% savings in fuel.
•Steady speeds without stopping will usually give the best fuel
economy.
•Anticipate stopping; slowing down may eliminate the need to stop.
•Sudden or hard accelerations may reduce fuel economy.
•Slow down gradually.
•Driving at reasonable speeds (traveling at 88 km/h [55 mph] uses 15%
less fuel than traveling at 105 km/h [65 mph]).
•Using the air conditioner or defroster may reduce fuel economy.
•Resting your foot on the brake pedal while driving may reduce fuel
economy.
Conditions
•Carrying unnecessary weight may reduce fuel economy.
•Fuel economy may decrease with lower temperatures during the first
12–16 km (8–10 miles) of driving.
•Flat terrain driving improves fuel economy over hilly roads.
•Transmissions give their best fuel economy when operated in the top
cruise gear and with steady pressure on the accelerator.
•Close windows for highway driving.

MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Diesel engine
For troubleshooting information, refer to the diesel engine operator’s
manual.
If engine won’t crank
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator’s manual.
If engine cranks but won’t start
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator’s manual.
If engine runs hot
For troubleshooting information, refer to the engine operator’s manual.
If fuses burn out
Burned-out or“blown-out”fuses or circuit breaker tripping (if equipped)
usually indicate an electrical short circuit, although a fuse may
occasionally fail from vibration. Insert a second fuse or reset the breaker
(if equipped). If this fuse immediately burns out or the breaker (if
equipped) trips and you cannot locate the fuse, return your vehicle to
your dealer for a circuit check.
If lamp bulbs burn out
Repeated lamp burn-out usually indicates a loose connection, either at
the lamp socket, the system ground or a malfunctioning voltage
regulator. If examination does not indicate the cause of the trouble,
return your vehicle to your dealer for inspection.
If headlamps flash on and off
If headlamps flash on and off at regular intervals, the system circuit
breaker (if equipped) is operating, indicating a short circuit or overload.
Take your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
