Exterior Lamps
The control located to the left of the steering column
operates the exterior lamps.
The exterior lamp control has three positions:
OFF:Turns off all lamps except the Daytime Running
Lamps (DRL).
;(Parking Lamps):Turns on the parking lamps,
together with the following:
•Marker Lamps
•Taillamps
•License Plate Lamps
•Instrument Panel Lights
O(Headlamps):Turns on the headlamps, together
with the previously listed lamps and lights.
Change the headlamps from low to high beam by
pulling the turn signal/multifunction lever toward you.
Pull the lever toward you again to return to low beam.
A circuit breaker protects the headlamps. If there is
an electrical overload, the headlamps will flicker on and
off. Have the headlamp wiring checked right away if
this ever happens.
Headlamps on Reminder
For vehicles with this system, a tone will sound when
the headlamps and/or parking lamps are turned on and
the ignition is in LOCK/OFF or ACC/ACCESSORY.

Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front of your vehicle during the
day. Fully functional daytime running lamps are required
on all vehicles first sold in Canada.
The DRL system will make the headlamps come on
at reduced brightness when the following conditions
are met:
•The ignition is on,
•the exterior lamp control is off, and
•the parking brake is released.
When the DRL are on, only the headlamps will be on.
The taillamps, sidemarker, instrument panel lights,
and other lamps will not be on.When it gets dark, the
DRL indicator light is a
reminder to turn the
headlamps on.
When the headlamps are turned on, the other lamps
that come on with the headlamps will be on.
When the headlamps are turned off, the regular lamps
will go off, and the low-beam headlamps will change
to the reduced brightness of DRL.
To idle the vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until the parking brake is
released.
Turn on the regular headlamp system when it is
needed.

ControlD. Rear Window
Defogger
On hot days, open the windows to let hot inside air
escape; then close them. This helps to reduce the time
it takes for the vehicle to cool down. It also helps the
system to operate more efficiently.
Air Delivery Mode Control:Turn clockwise or
counterclockwise to change the direction of the airflow
inside the vehicle.
Select from the following modes:
<(Maximum Air Conditioning):For maximum
cooling. The system goes into recirculation mode and
helps to maximize the air conditioner’s performance and
the vehicle’s fuel economy. This setting also cools the air
the fastest.
Y(Air Conditioning):For normal cooling on hot days.
Outside air is cooled and directed to the instrument
panel vents.
)(Bi-Level Air Conditioning):Air is divided between
the floor and instrument panel vents. The air conditioning
compressor cycles continuously in this setting as long as
the outside temperature is warm enough to activate the
compressor.
H(Vent):Air is directed to the instrument panel vents.
6(Floor):Air is directed to the floor vents. Use this
mode to send air to the rear of the vehicle. Keep the area
under the front seats free of objects that could obstruct
airflow to the rear of the vehicle.
-(Defog):This mode clears the windows of fog or
moisture. Outside air is directed to the floor and
defroster outlets. Adjust the temperature knob for
warmer or cooler air. The air conditioning compressor
may operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
0(Defrost):This mode removes fog or frost from the
windshield more quickly. Air is directed to the
windshield, with some going to the floor outlets and
front side windows. The air conditioning compressor may
operate in this setting to dehumidify the air.
The temperature knob should be in the red area and the
fan control toward high. Do not drive the vehicle until all
the windows are clear. Vehicles With Air Conditioning

Reduced Engine Power Light
If the check engine and
reduced engine power
lights are on, the electronic
throttle control may be
disabled.
A noticeable change in the vehicle’s performance may
also 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/retailer 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 3-8
for more information.
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL)
Indicator Light
This light turns on
whenever the Daytime
Running Lamps are on.
SeeDaytime Running Lamps (DRL) on page 3-15for
more information.

Air Pressure Gage
If your vehicle has air
brakes, the air pressure
gage is located above the
switchbank in the center
of the instrument panel.
This gage shows the air pressure for both your front
and rear brake systems.
If the needle on the gage indicates that the air pressure
is below 60 to 75 psi (415 to 517 kPa), the low air
warning light will come on. An alarm will also sound if
this happens.The bottom yellow pointer shows the pressure available
for the front secondary system, while the top white
pointer shows pressure for the rear primary system.
There should be no more than 4 psi (28 kPa) difference
showing between the systems.
Don’t drive until both pointers are showing at least
120 psi (827 kPa), so you’ll have enough air if you need
to apply your brakes.
Hourmeter Gage
To access the engine hourmeter gage, press the trip
odometer button three times.
The instrument panel cluster displays the accumulated
engine run time hours using the reconfigurable odometer
display. The engine run time hours displays only
when the ignition is in the LOCK or ACC/ACCESSORY
position and the trip reset button is pressed for about
four seconds. The value of the accumulated hours does
not change when the battery is disconnected.
The hourmeter resets to 0.0 when 10,000 hours
are accumulated. The instrument panel cluster begins
to reaccumulate the engine run time hours from
0.0 hours.

Radio Reception
Frequency interference and static can occur during
normal radio reception if items such as cell phone
chargers, vehicle convenience accessories, and external
electronic devices are plugged into the accessory
power outlet. If there is interference or static, unplug the
item from the accessory power outlet.
AM
The range for most AM stations is greater than for FM,
especially at night. The longer range can cause station
frequencies to interfere with each other. For better radio
reception, most AM radio stations boost the power levels
during the day, and then reduce these levels during the
night. Static can also occur when things like storms and
power lines interfere with radio reception. When this
happens, try reducing the treble on your radio.
FM Stereo
FM stereo gives the best sound, but FM signals reach
only about 10 to 40 miles (16 to 65 km). Tall buildings or
hills can interfere with FM signals, causing the sound
to fade in and out.
Fixed Mast Antenna
The fixed mast antenna can withstand most car washes
without being damaged as long as it is securely attached
to the base. If the mast becomes slightly bent, straighten
it out by hand. If the mast is badly bent, replace it.
Occasionally check to make sure the antenna is
tightened to its base. If tightening is required, tighten by
hand until fully seated plus one quarter turn.
Chime Level Adjustment
The radio is used to adjust the vehicle’s chime level.
To change the volume level of the chime, press and hold
pushbutton 6 with the ignition on and the radio power
off. The volume level will change from the normal
level to loud, and HI will appear on the radio display.
To change back to the default or normal setting, press
and hold pushbutton 6 again. The volume level will
change from the loud level to normal, and LO will appear
on the radio display. Each time the chime volume is
changed, three chimes will sound as an example of the
new volume selected. Removing the radio and not
replacing it with a factory radio or chime module will
disable vehicle chimes.

Antilock Brake System (ABS)
This vehicle has the Antilock Brake System (ABS), an
advanced electronic braking system that helps prevent a
braking skid.
When the engine is started and the vehicle begins to
drive away, ABS checks itself. A momentary motor
or clicking noise might be heard while this test is going
on. This is normal.
If there is a problem with
ABS, this warning light
stays on. SeeAntilock
Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light on
page 3-33.
Let us say the road is wet and you are driving safely.
Suddenly, an animal jumps out in front of you. You slam
on the brakes and continue braking. Here is what
happens with ABS:
A computer senses that the wheels are slowing down.
If one of the wheels is about to stop rolling, the computer
will separately work the brakes at each wheel.ABS can change the brake pressure to each wheel, as
required, faster than any driver could. This can help
the driver steer around the obstacle while braking hard.
As the brakes are applied, the computer keeps
receiving updates on wheel speed and controls braking
pressure accordingly.
Remember: ABS does not change the time needed to get
a foot up to the brake pedal or always decrease stopping
distance. If you get too close to the vehicle in front of you,
there will not be enough time to apply the brakes if that
vehicle suddenly slows or stops. Always leave enough
room up ahead to stop, even with ABS.
Using ABS
Do not pump the brakes. Just hold the brake pedal
down firmly and let antilock work. The brakes might be
felt to pulsate, or the sound of air exhausting might
be heard if the vehicle has air brakes, but this is normal.
Braking in Emergencies
ABS allows the driver to steer and brake at the same
time. In many emergencies, steering can help more than
even the very best braking.

4. Install the new filter element.
5. Reinstall and tighten the filter container and
reconnect the water sensor wire to the filter.
6. Use the fuel filter priming procedure earlier in this
section to prime the fuel filter.
7. Tighten the air bleed valve by turning it clockwise
until hand-tight.
8. Start the engine and let it idle for five minutes.
Check the fuel filter and air bleed valve for leaks.
How to Reset Fuel Filter Change
Light - DURAMAX 6.6L (LMM) Engine
The engine controller calculates when to change the fuel
filter based on vehicle and fuel use. Whenever the
fuel filter is changed, reset the fuel filter light so
the engine controller can calculate when the next fuel
filter change is required. If the fuel filter is ever changed
prior to a change fuel filter light being turned on,
reset the fuel filter change light.To reset the Fuel Filter Change light:
1. Turn the ignition key to ON/RUN with the engine off
2. Fully press the accelerator and brake pedals at the
same time for 10 seconds. If the Fuel Filter Change
light flashes for 5 seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the Fuel Filter Change light comes back on when you
start the vehicle, the light has not been reset. Repeat
the procedure. SeeChange Fuel Filter Warning Light on
page 3-45for more information.
Fuels in Foreign Countries
If you plan on driving in another country outside the
United States or Canada, the proper fuel might be hard
to find. Never use leaded gasoline or any other fuel
not recommended in the previous text on fuel. Costly
repairs caused by use of improper fuel would not
be covered by the vehicle warranty.
To check the fuel availability, ask an auto club, or
contact a major oil company that does business in the
country where you will be driving.
