Turn and Lane-Change Signals
The turn signal has two upward (for right) and
two downward (for left) positions. These positions
allow you to signal a turn or a lane change.
To signal a turn, move the lever all the way up or
down. When the turn is finished, the lever will
return automatically.
An arrow on the
instrument panel cluster
will flash in the
direction of the turn or
lane change.
To signal a lane change, just raise or lower the
lever until the arrow starts to flash. Hold it
there until you complete your lane change. The
lever will return by itself when you release it.
As you signal a turn or a lane change, if the arrows
don’t flash but just stay on, check the turn signal
flasher and circuit breaker. SeeFuses and
Circuit Breakers on page 341.If a bulb is burned out, replace it to help avoid an
accident. If the arrows don’t go on at all when
you signal a turn, check the circuit breaker and for
burned-out bulbs.
Headlamp High/Low-Beam Changer
To change the headlamps from low to high
beam or high to low beam, pull the multifunction
lever all the way toward you, then release it.
When the high beams
are on, this light on the
instrument panel
cluster will also be on.
144

Marker Lamps
If your vehicle has this feature, you can manually
blink the marker and clearance lamps.
The marker lamp defeat
switch is located in the
instrument panel
switchbank.
Press and hold the bottom of the switch to turn off
the marker and clearance lamps. When you
release the switch, the marker and clearance
lamps will come back on.
Instrument Panel Brightness
This feature controls the brightness of the
instrument panel lights.
The thumbwheel for this feature is located to the
right of the exterior lamp control.
Turn the thumbwheel up to brighten the lights.
When the thumbwheel is moved to the first
position, the radio display and transmission
selection display will go to full intensity. The
instrument panel cluster will also be dimly
lit. Moving the thumbwheel up to the next position
will activate the interior dome lamps.
152

Instrument Panel Cluster
Your instrument panel cluster is designed to let you know at a glance how your vehicle is running. You
will know how fast you are going, about how much fuel is left and many other things you will need to drive
safely and economically.

{CAUTION:
If the airbag readiness light ever comes
on when you have turned off the airbag, it
means that something may be wrong with
the airbag system. The right front
passenger’s airbag could inate even
though the switch is off. If this ever
happens, do not let anyone whom the
national government has identied as a
member of a passenger airbag risk group
sit in the right front passenger’s position
(for example, do not secure a rear-facing
child restraint in the right front
passenger’s seat) until you have your
vehicle serviced. SeeAirbag Off Switch on
page 76andAirbag Readiness Light on
page 165for more on this, including
important safety information.
Charging System Light
The charging system
light may be located in
the instrument panel
cluster, or with the
auxiliary warning lights
in the center of the
instrument panel.
It should come on briefly when you turn on the
ignition, before the engine is running, as a check to
show that it is working.
If it stays on, or comes on while you are driving,
have your vehicle checked right away. You
could have a loose generator drive belt or some
other problem.
Driving while this light is on will drain your battery.
If you must drive a short distance with the light
on, turn off your radio and other accessories.
Sustained driving with a generator failure could
result in a lack of back-up braking if the engine
quits or the power steering pump should fail.
167

Oil Pressure Gage
The engine oil pressure gage, on the lower right
portion of your instrument panel cluster, shows
engine oil pressure in psi (pounds per square inch)
or in kPa (kilopascals). Oil pressure may vary
with outside temperature and oil viscosity,
but readings of 30 to 40 psi (205 to 275 kPa) on
gasoline engines at operating temperature
and moderate road speeds are normal. If you
have a diesel engine, the normal operating range
should be between 35 and 70 psi (240 to 480 kPa).A reading in the low pressure zone may be
caused by a dangerously low oil level or other
problem.
If you have a Caterpillar
®diesel engine, also see
your Caterpillar®Operation & Maintenance
Manual.
{CAUTION:
Do not keep driving if the oil pressure is
low. If you do, your engine can become so
hot that it catches re. You or others
could be burned. Check your oil as soon
as possible and have your vehicle
serviced.
Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
may damage the engine. The repairs would
not be covered by your warranty. Always follow
the maintenance schedule in this manual for
changing engine oil.

The light will come on momentarily during starting.
If the light fails to come on, have it repaired as
soon as possible so you will be aware when
the lock system is in use.
SeeRear Axle Differential Lock Control on
page 215for more information.
Reduced Engine Power Light
If the check engine and
reduced engine power
lights are on, the
electronic throttle control
may be disabled, and a
noticeable change in the
vehicle’s performance
may occur.
If the reduced engine power light is on, but there
is no change in performance, proceed to your
destination. The performance may be reduced the
next time the vehicle is driven. The vehicle may
be driven at a slower speed while the reduced
engine power light is on, but acceleration
and speed may be limited.
Anytime the check engine light stays on, the
vehicle should be taken to an authorized dealer as
soon as possible for service.
Highbeam On Light
This light comes on
when the high-beam
headlamps are in use.
SeeHeadlamp High/Low-Beam Changer on
page 144.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light
This light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster. It goes on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 151
for more information.
When it begins to get dark, the DRL indicator light
is a reminder to turn on your headlamps.
