to the trailer brakes in 0.5 increments.
The GAIN setting can be increased to a
maximum of 10 or decreased to a mini-
mum of 0 (no trailer braking).
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
WARNING!
Connecting a trailer that is not compatible with the ITBM system may result in
reduced or complete loss of trailer braking. There may be a increase in stopping
distance or trailer instability which could result in personal injury.

CAUTION!
•Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces. Drain the filter into an appro-
priate container.
•Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter. There is a possibility
debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to install
the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel system.
• If the “Water In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT START the enginebefore you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
ADDING FUEL – DIESEL ENGINE ONLY
• Your vehicle is equipped with a cap-less fuel system.
• Most fuel cans will not open the flapper door.
• A funnel is provided to open the flapper door to allow emergency refueling with afuel can.
Emergency Fuel Can Refueling
1. Retrieve funnel from the jack storage area under the passenger seat.
2. Insert the funnel into same filler pipe opening as the fuel nozzle.
3. Ensure the funnel is inserted fully to hold flapper door open.
4. Pour fuel into funnel opening.
5. Remove the funnel from filler pipe, clean off prior to putting back in the jack storage area under the passenger seat.
EXHAUST REGENERATION
• Under certain conditions, your Cummins®diesel engine and exhaust after-
treatment system may never reach the conditions required to remove the trapped
particulate matter. If this occurs, the “Exhaust System — Regeneration Required
Now” message will be displayed on the EVIC screen in your cluster and you will
hear one chime to alert you of this condition. Driving your vehicle at highway
speeds for as little as 45 minutes can remedy the condition and allow the engine
and exhaust after-treatment system to remove the trapped particulate matter.
• PLEASE NOTE: Under typical operating conditions, NO indications of regenera- tion state will be displayed. If you do reach 80% of filter capacity, the following
messages will assist you in inducing and understanding the regeneration process.

Perform Service
• Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set interval. To help remindyou when this maintenance is due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center
(EVIC) will display “Perform Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is
displayed on the EVIC it is necessary to have the emissions maintenance
performed. Emissions maintenance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase
Ventilation (CCV) filter element, and cleaning of the EGR Cooler. The procedure for
clearing and resetting the "Perform Service" indicator message is located in the
appropriate Service Information.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Required Now
• “Exhaust System—Regeneration Required Now” will be displayed on the EVIC if the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity.
Exhaust Filter XX% Full
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is approaching full.
Exhaust System — Regeneration in Process Exhaust Filter XX% Full
• Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is self-cleaning. Maintain your current driving condition until regeneration is completed.
Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed
•
Indicates that the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) self-cleaning is completed. If this
message is displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.
Exhaust Service Required — See Dealer Now
• Regeneration has been disabled due to a system malfunction. The Powertrain control Module (PCM) will register a fault code and the instrument panel will
display the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL).
Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer
• The PCM derates the engine in order to limit the likelihood of permanent damage to the after-treatment system. If this condition is not corrected and a dealer service
is not performed, extensive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. Have your
vehicle serviced by your local authorized dealer.
CAUTION!
See your authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust system could occur with the
exhaust filter full.

Adding Diesel Exhaust Fluid
• The DEF gauge (located in the instrument cluster) will display the level of DEFremaining in the tank.
NOTE:
Driving conditions (altitude, vehicle speed, load, etc.) will effect the amount of DEF
that is used in your vehicle.
NOTE:
Since DEF will begin to freeze at 12°F (-11°C), your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic DEF heating system. This allows the DEF injection system to operate
properly at temperatures below 12°F (-11°C). If your vehicle is not in operation for an
extended period of time with temperatures below 12°F (-11°C), the DEF in the tank
may freeze. If the tank is overfilled and freezes, it could be damaged. Therefore, do
not overfill the DEF tank. Extra care should be taken when filling with portable
containers to avoid overfilling. Note the level of the DEF gauge in your instrument
cluster. On pickup applications, you may safely add a maximum of 2 gallons of DEF
from portable containers when your DEF gauge is reading ½ full. On Chassis Cab
applications a maximum of 2 gallons may be added when the DEF gauge is reading
¾ full
DEF Fill Procedure
• Remove cap from DEF tank (located on drivers side of the vehicle).
• Insert DEF container into DEF tank.
• Reinstall cap onto DEF tank.
• Refer to your Owner's Manual on the DVD for further details.
CAUTION!
•To avoid DEF spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the DEF tank after filling.•When DEF is spilled, clean the area immediately with water or a mild solvent.

ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE
•Dial toll-free 1-800-521-2779 for U.S. Residents or 1-800-363-4869 for Canadian
Residents.
• Provide your name, vehicle identification number, license plate number, and your location, including the telephone number from which you are calling.
• Briefly describe the nature of the problem and answer a few simple questions.
• You will be given the name of the service provider and an estimated time of arrival. If you feel you are in an “unsafe situation”, please let us know. With your consent,
we will contact local police or safety authorities.
INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING LIGHTS
- Electronic Stability Control (ESC) Activation/Malfunction Indicator Light
•
If this indicator light flashes during acceleration, apply as little throttle as possible.
While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your speed and driving to the
prevailing road conditions. To improve the vehicle's traction when starting off in deep
snow, sand or gravel, it may be desirable to switch the ESC system off.
- Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Light
•
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a
different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
• As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) which display in the Electronic Vehicle Information
Center (EVIC) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure EVIC display illuminates, you should stop
and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
• IF THE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING INDICATING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE, ADJUST THE AIR
PRESSURE IN THE LOW TIRE TO THE AIR PRESSURE SHOWN ON THE VEHICLE PLACARD
OR TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE LABEL LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR. NOTE: AFTER
INFLATION, THE VEHICLE MAY NEED TO BE DRIVEN FOR 20 MINUTES BEFORE THE
FLASHING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF.
•
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has
not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low EVIC display.
