2. Get the vehicles close enough so the jumper cables
can reach, but be sure the vehicles are not touching
each other. If they are, it could cause a ground
connection you do not want. You would not be able
to start your vehicle, and the bad grounding
could damage the electrical systems.
To avoid the possibility of the vehicles rolling, set
the parking brake firmly on both vehicles involved
in the jump start procedure. Put an automatic
transmission in PARK (P) or a manual transmission
in NEUTRAL before setting the parking brake.
If you have a four-wheel-drive vehicle, be sure the
transfer case is in a drive gear, not in NEUTRAL.
Notice:If you leave your radio or other accessories
on during the jump starting procedure, they could
be damaged. The repairs would not be covered
by your warranty. Always turn off your radio and
other accessories when jump starting your vehicle.
3. Turn off the ignition on both vehicles. Unplug
unnecessary accessories plugged into the cigarette
lighter or accessory power outlets. Turn off the
radio and all lamps that are not needed. This will
avoid sparks and help save both batteries, and
it could save the radio!4. Open the hood on the other vehicle and locate the
positive (+) and the negative (−) terminal locations
on that vehicle.
Open the hood on your
vehicle and find the remote
positive (+) terminal,
located under a red plastic
cover on the passenger’s
side of the vehicle.
Squeeze the tab to open
the cover and access
the remote positive (+)
terminal.
You will not see the battery (or batteries) of your
vehicle under the hood. They are located in a frame
mounted battery box, which is located on either the
driver’s or the passenger’s side of the vehicle. You
will not need to access your battery (or batteries) for
jump starting. The remote positive (+) terminal is for
that purpose.

Scheduled Maintenance
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of
this vehicle. The services shown after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated at the same miles (km)
after those intervals for the life of this vehicle.
Gasoline engine vehicles and some DURAMAX
®diesel
engine vehicles have a computer that lets you know
when to change your engine oil. This is not based
on mileage, but on engine operation and engine
temperature. When the computer has calculated that the
oil needs changing, the Engine Oil Life System will
indicate that a change is necessary. SeeEngine Oil Life
System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-31orEngine Oil
Life System (DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 5-33or
Engine Oil Life System (Caterpillar®Diesel Engine) on
page 5-34.
