JUMP STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
Note:Do not attempt to push-start your automatic transmission vehicle.
Automatic transmissions do not have push-start capability. Attempting to
push-start a vehicle with an automatic transmission may cause
transmission damage.
The 6.7 diesel engine can be jump started using the same procedure as a
gasoline engine. Use the primary battery (battery located on the
passenger side) for any jump starting procedure and refer to your
Owner’s Manualfor the proper method of jump starting.
RUNNING OUT OF DEF (DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID)
If your vehicle runs out of DEF, it will enter into a speed limited mode
and can also enter into an idle-only mode. Normal vehicle operation will
not resume until DEF is refilled. See theSelective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) Systemsection in theFuel and Refuelingchapter for more
information.
Contact roadside assistance for help in finding a retailer that sells DEF.
See theCustomer Assistancechapter in theOwner’s Manualfor more
information.

MINOR TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Air purge procedure
Turn the key on for 30 seconds, then turn off. Repeat the procedure six
times.
If the engine won’t crank
WARNING:Battery posts, terminals and related accessories
contain lead and lead compounds.Wash hands after handling.
Turn on the headlights. If the lights are dim, do not go on at all or when
the ignition is turned to START the lights become dim or go out, the
battery connections may be loose or corroded, or the battery may be
discharged. If there is a clicking or stuttering sound coming from the
engine compartment when you turn the key to START, this may also
indicate a loose or corroded battery connection.
Check the battery connections at the battery posts, cable connection to
the engine grounding point and at the starter connection.
If a discharged battery is suspected, have it checked and corrected.
•The gearshift lever must be in P (Park) or N (Neutral) in order for
the starter to operate.
•Try operating the starter switch several times. Should the switch be
corroded, this operation may clean the contacts or make the switch
temporarily operable until you can reach the dealer.
•If all electrical connections are tight and you need assistance to start,
refer toJump startingin theRoadside Emergencieschapter of your
Owner’s Manual.
If engine cranks but won’t start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 10 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
•
Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the tank
control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty tank.
•Leaving the ignition key turned to on for over two minutes without
starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs will cease
activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to off and
then back to on again.
