Diesel Exhaust Fluid (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the diesel exhaust fluid level falls below
0.5 gallons (1.9L) in the five gallon (19.0L) tank or one gallon
(3.8L) in the nine gallon (34.0L) tank. Refill the tank or, at a
minimum, add at least one gallon (3.8L) to the five gallon (19.0L) tank
or two gallons (7.6L) to the nine gallon (34.0L) tank.
Diesel Particulate Filter (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the soot level in the diesel particulate filter
has reached a point where it requires operator assistance. See
Diesel particulate filterin theMaintenancechapter, and your
engine operator’s manual, for more details.
Do Not Shift (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a problem has been detected in
the transmission; shifting may be restricted. Depending on the
severity of the problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn
blank.
Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The control
unit may not respond to shift selector requests, since operating
limitations are being placed on the transmission (i.e. upshifts and
downshifts may be restricted). Direction changes do not occur.
Direction Indicator
It illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard
warning flasher is switched on. If the indicators stay on or flash
faster, check for a burned out bulb.
Electronic Locking Differential
It illuminates when using the electronic locking differential.
Engine Oil Pressure (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when engine oil pressure is low.
Fasten Safety belt
It illuminates and a chime sounds to remind you to fasten your
safety belt.

High Beam
It illuminates when the headlamp high beam is switched on.
Low Fuel Level (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when the fuel level is low or near empty. Refuel
as soon as possible.
Parking Brake Warning
It momentarily illuminates when the ignition is switched to the
on position (with the engine off). It also illuminates when the
parking brake is engaged. If the parking brake warning lamp
does not illuminate at these times, seek service immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Power Park Parking Brake option:If
the park brake warning lamp begins to blink after setting the parking
brake on your vehicle, this may indicate a failure in the parking brake
system. Seek service from your dealer immediately.
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced Power/Electronic Throttle
Control (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when a powertrain fault has been detected.
Contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Service Engine Soon
It illuminates when the ignition is first switched to the on
position to check the bulb and to indicate whether the vehicle
is ready for Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Solid illumination after the engine is started indicates the on-board
diagnostics system (OBD-II) has detected a malfunction.
WARNING:Under engine misfire conditions, excessive exhaust
temperatures could damage the catalytic converter, the fuel
system, interior floor coverings or other vehicle components, possibly
causing a fire.

ADJUSTING THE HEADLAMPS
The headlamps on your vehicle are properly aimed at the assembly plant.
If your vehicle has been in an accident, the alignment of your headlamps
should be checked by your authorized dealer.
CHANGING A BULB
Lamp Assembly Condensation
Exterior lamps are vented to accommodate normal changes in pressure.
Condensation can be a natural by-product of this design. When moist air
enters the lamp assembly through the vents, there is a possibility that
condensation can occur when the temperature is cold. When normal
condensation occurs, a thin film of mist can form on the interior of the
lens. The thin mist eventually clears and exits through the vents during
normal operation. Clearing time may take as long as 48 hours under dry
weather conditions.
Examples of acceptable condensation are:
•Presence of thin mist (no streaks, drip marks or droplets).
•Fine mist covers less than 50% of the lens.
Examples of unacceptable moisture (usually caused by a lamp water
leak) are:
•Water puddle inside the lamp.
•Large water droplets, drip marks or streaks present on the interior of
the lens.
Take your vehicle to a dealer for service if any of the above conditions of
unacceptable moisture are present.

BULB SPECIFICATION CHART
Replacement bulbs are specified in the chart below. Headlamp bulbs
must be marked with an authorized D.O.T. for North America and an E
for Europe to make sure lamp performance, light brightness and pattern
and safe visibility. The correct bulbs will not damage the lamp assembly
or void the lamp assembly warranty and will provide quality bulb
illumination time.
