WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES
Base instrument cluster with standard measure shown; metric
similar
Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may
become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may
illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions.
Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the
bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning light for additional information.
Note:Some warning lights are
reconfigurable telltale (RTT)
indicator lights and will illuminate in
the message center. These lights
function the same as the other
warning lights.

information.
6.Speedometer:Indicates the current vehicle speed.
Odometer and trip odometer:The odometer is displayed on the lower

the vehicle has traveled. For trip odometer information, refer toMessage
centerin this chapter.
MESSAGE CENTER
Your vehicle’s message center is capable of monitoring many vehicle
systems and will alert you to potential vehicle problems and various

This allows you to use the full message center functionality by clearing
the message.
PARK BRAKE ENGAGED— Displayed when the parking brake is set,
the engine is running and the vehicle is driven more than 3 mph
(5 km/h). If the warning stays on after the parking brake is released,
contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM— Displayed when a fault has been detected
by the ABS module.
CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM— Displayed when the electrical system
is not maintaining proper voltage. If you are operating electrical
accessories when the engine is idling at a low speed, turn off as many of
the electrical loads as soon as possible. If the warning stays on or comes
on when the engine is operating at normal speeds, contact your
authorized dealer as soon as possible.
BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW— Indicates the brake fluid level is low
and the brake system should be inspected immediately. Refer toBrake
fluidin theMaintenance and Specificationschapter.

•The engine may run rough and produce white smoke while air is in
the fuel system. This is normal and should stop after a short period of
time.
Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) System
Your vehicle is equipped with a selective catalytic reduction (SCR)
system to help reduce emission levels of oxides of nitrogen from the
exhaust of the diesel engine. The system automatically injects diesel
exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust system to enable proper SCR
function.
Importance of maintaining the DEF level
In order for the SCR system to operate properly, the DEF must be
maintained. Generally, the DEF tank should be filled before the DEF
gauge in the instrument cluster reached the first low level warning (refer
toDEF warning messages and vehicle operations).
The engine control unit will monitor the amount of fluid available in the
DEF tank. Failure to maintain an adequate amount of DEF in the system
will generate warning messages that appear in the instrument cluster
message center and, unless the DEF tank is refilled, will lead to a forced
reduction of engine operations.
DEF warning messages and vehicle operations
Your vehicle is equipped with a DEF gauge located in the instrument
cluster. The low level warning symbols (see chart) are illuminated if the
DEF gauge level drops below 0.5 gallon (1.9L) in the 5 gallon (19.0L)
DEF tank or 1 gallon (3.8L) in the 9 gallon (34.0L) DEF tank.
Upon filling the DEF tank after a low level warning, normal operation will
resume when the vehicle is restarted.
