Airbag Readiness Light
There is an airbag readiness light on the instrument
panel cluster, which shows the airbag symbol. The
system checks the airbag’s electrical system for
malfunctions. The light tells you if there is an
electrical problem. The system check includes the
airbag sensors, the airbag modules, the wiring and
the crash sensing and diagnostic module and, if
equipped, the passenger sensing system. For more
information on the airbag system, seeAirbag
System on page 85.
This light will come on
when you start your
vehicle, and it will ash
for a few seconds.
This means the system
is ready.
If the airbag readiness light stays on after the
vehicle is started or comes on while you are
driving, the airbag system may not be working
properly. Have your vehicle serviced right away.
Airbag Off Light
If your vehicle has an airbag on-off switch, it also
has a passenger airbag status indicator located
in the overhead console.
When the ignition key is turned to RUN or START,
the passenger airbag status indicator ON and
OFF, or the symbol for on and off, will light
for several seconds as a system check. Then,
after several more seconds, the status indicator
ON or OFF, or either the on or off symbol, will light
to let you know the status of the right front
passenger’s frontal airbag.
When you manually turn the right front passenger’s
airbag off using the airbag on-off switch in the
glove box, the indicator light OFF or the off symbol
will come on and stay on to remind you that the
airbag has been turned off.

Q:What is total vehicle reserve capacity?
A:This is the difference between your GVWR and
the weight of your truck with full fuel and
passengers. It is the amount of weight you can
add to your vehicle before reaching your
GVWR. Keep in mind that reserve capacity
numbers are intended as a guide when
selecting the amount of equipment or cargo
your truck can carry. If you are unsure of your
vehicle’s front, rear, or total weight, go to a
weigh station and weigh your vehicle.
Your dealer can also help you with this.
The total vehicle reserve capacity for your
vehicle can be found in the lower right corner
of the Certi cation/Tire label as shown
previously.
See your dealer for additional advice and
information about using a snow plow on your
vehicle. Also, seeLoading Your Vehicle on
page 427.
Emergency Roof Lamp Provisions
Vehicles with the RPO VYU snow plow prep
package also have an emergency roof lamp
provision package, RPO TRW. Wiring for the
emergency roof lamp is provided above the
overhead console. SeeAuxiliary Roof Mounted
Lamp on page 227for switch location.
Truck-Camper Loading Information
Notice:Installing a truck-camper to a
vehicle that is equipped with the SS trim
package could damage the vehicle. Do not
install a truck-camper on a vehicle equipped
with the SS trim package.
A vehicle speci c Truck-Camper Loading
information label is attached to the inside of your
vehicle’s glove box. This label will tell you if
your vehicle can carry a slide-in camper, how
much of a load your vehicle can carry, and how to
correctly spread out the load. Also, it will help
you match the right slide-in camper to your vehicle.
438
When you carry a slide-in camper, the total cargo
load of your vehicle is the weight of the camper,
plus the following:
Everything else added to the camper after it left
the factory
Everything in the camper
All the people inside
The Cargo Weight Rating (CWR) is the maximum
weight of the load your vehicle can carry.
It does not include the weight of the people inside.
But, you can gure about 150 lbs (68 kg) for
each seat.
The total cargo load must not be more than your
vehicle’s CWR.Refer to the Truck-Camper Loading Information
label in the glove box for dimensions A and B
as shown in the following illustration.
Use the rear edge of the load oor for
measurement purposes. The recommended
location for the cargo center of gravity is at
point C for the CWR. It is the point where the
mass of a body is concentrated and, if suspended
at that point, would balance the front and rear.
