been detected, have the system
serviced immediately by your
authorized dealer. Normal braking is still functional unless the brake
warning light also is illuminated.

engine is powered-up and only when
a PLC trailer or a PLC diagnostic
tool is connected. If the light
remains on after the vehicle is
started, continues to flash or fails to
illuminate, have the system serviced
immediately.
Traction control (if equipped):
Illuminates and flashes slowly if the
Off Road or Mud/Snow mode is
selected and flashes rapidly during a
traction control event.

your safety belt. A Belt-Minder
chime will also sound to remind you
to fasten your safety belt. Refer to
theSeating and Safety Restraints
chapter to activate/deactivate the Belt-Minderchime feature.
Charging system:Illuminates when
the battery is not charging properly.
If it stays on while the engine is
running, there may be a malfunction
with the charging system. Contact your authorized dealer as soon as
possible. This indicates a problem with the electrical system or a related
component.

TRAILER AIR SUPPLY AND PARKING BRAKE MODULAR
CONTROLS (IF EQUIPPED)
The trailer air supply valve delivers air to the trailer supply and will
automatically pop out, shutting off the trailer supply, if pressure is
decreased to approximately 35 psi (249 kPa).
The parking brake controls the spring brakes on the tractor. When the
knob is pulled out it causes the trailer supply valve to pop out, applying
both the tractor and trailer parking brakes. The trailer brakes may be
independently released by pushing only the trailer air supply valve in.
Initial charge
With the air system completely discharged, both knobs (1 and 2) will be
out. When the air pressure reaches 70 psi (483 kPa) the trailer air
supply (1 – red knob) may be pushed in and should stay in charging the
trailer air system and releasing the trailer brakes.

3. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the booster
vehicle’s battery.
4. Remove the jumper cable from the positive (+) terminal of the
disabled vehicle’s battery.
After the disabled vehicle has been started and the jumper cables
removed, allow it to idle for several minutes so the engine computer can
relearnits idle conditions.
WRECKER TOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Before moving the disabled vehicle, check for adequate road clearance of
vehicle components. It is recommended the disabled vehicle be unloaded
prior to being towed to reduce any abnormal load to the vehicle
components resulting from the towing procedures. Before towing, be
sure to fully release the parking brake. The spring-actuated type parking
brake can be reset by recharging the air system with at least 64 psi
(441 kPa) of air. If the brake system will not retain air pressure, then the
spring brakes must be released manually. Refer toParking brakein the
Drivingchapter.
Note:For towing, make sure the vehicle is securely connected to the
tow vehicle and the tow vehicle’s parking brakes are applied before
releasing the disabled vehicle’s spring brakes.
