Biodiesel fuel is a product converted from renewable fuel sources,
including vegetable oil, animal fat and cooking oil. You should not use
raw, refined, and recycled vegetable/plant oils, greases, and animal fats.
Biodiesel fuel blends must meet requirements of ASTM D7467 standard
specification. See your engine operator’s manual for more information
and restrictions about the use of biodiesel fuel.
Octane Recommendations - Gasoline Engines
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
pump (R+M)/2 octane rating of 87
is recommended. Some stations
offer fuels posted as Regular with
an octane rating below 87,
particularly in high altitude areas. Do not use fuels with a posted octane
rating below 87.
Do not be concerned if your engine sometimes knocks lightly. However, if
it knocks heavily under most driving conditions while you are using fuel
with the recommended octane rating, see an authorized dealer to
prevent any engine damage.
RUNNING OUT OF FUEL
Gasoline Engine
Avoid running out of fuel because this situation may have an adverse
effect on powertrain components.
If you have run out of fuel:
•You may need to cycle the ignition from off to on several times after
refueling to allow the fuel system to pump the fuel from the tank to
the engine. On restarting, cranking time takes a few seconds longer
than normal.
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, adding four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) of fuel is enough to restart the engine. If your
vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) may be required.
•The service engine soon indicator may come on. For more
information on the service engine soon indicator, see theInstrument
Clusterchapter.
SeeGeneral informationin theInformation Displayschapter for
information on Miles to Empty.
Diesel Engine
Avoid running out of fuel as this allows air to enter the fuel system,
which makes restarting your vehicle difficult.

vehicle is out of fuel and on a steep grade, more than four–five
gallons (15–19 liters) may be required.
•The fuel system must be primed before attempting to restart the
engine. See your engine operator’s manual for instructions on priming
the engine.
•Use caution not to overheat and damage the starter by cranking the
engine for an excessive period. You may need to crank the engine for
a longer time than normal. If the engine fails to start in 30 seconds,
turn the ignition to the off position and wait for two minutes before
cranking the engine again.
•Any remaining trapped air self-purges from the fuel system once the
engine starts running.
•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.
SeeGeneral informationin theInformation Displayschapter for
information on Miles to Empty.
REFUELING
WARNING:Fuel vapor burns violently and a fuel fire can cause
severe injuries. To help avoid injuries to you and others:
•Read and follow all the instructions on the pump island.
•Turn off your engine when you are refueling.
•Do not smoke if you are near fuel or refueling your vehicle.
•Keep sparks, flames and smoking materials away from fuel.
•Stay outside your vehicle and do not leave the fuel pump unattended
when refueling your vehicle - this is against the law in some places.
•Keep children away from the fuel pump; never let children pump
fuel.
•Do not use personal electronic devices while refueling.
Use the following guidelines to avoid electrostatic charge build-up when
filling an ungrounded fuel container:
•Place approved fuel container on the ground.
•DO NOT fill a fuel container while it is in the vehicle (including the
cargo area).

Keep a record for at least one month and record the type of driving (city
or highway). This provides an accurate estimate of your vehicle’s fuel
economy under current driving conditions. Additionally, keeping records
during summer and winter shows how temperature impacts fuel
economy. In general, lower temperatures mean lower fuel economy.
SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (DIESEL
ENGINE ONLY)
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, you must maintain the
DEF level. Generally, you should fill the DEF tank before the DEF gauge
in the instrument cluster reaches the first low level warning (see
Warning messages and vehicle operations).
The engine control unit monitors the amount of fluid available in the
DEF tank. Failure to maintain an adequate amount of DEF in the system
generates warning messages that appear in the information display and,
unless you refill the DEF tank, leads to a forced reduction of engine
operations.
Warning Messages and Vehicle Operations
The instrument cluster contains a DEF gauge and indicator lights to alert
you to any low DEF level conditions. The indicator lights illuminate if the
DEF gauge level drops below 1 gallon (3.8 liters) in the 5-gallon
(19.0 liters) DEF tank or 2 gallons (7.6 liters) in the 10-gallon
(34.0 liters) DEF tank.
Upon filling the DEF tank after a low-level warning, normal operation
resumes when you restart your vehicle.

Allison 2500
WARNING: To avoid sudden, unexpected vehicle movement
and possible personal injury or death:
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Shift the transmission into positionN.
3. Apply the parking brake and make sure it is holding properly.
4. Turn the engine off when you leave the vehicle.Never leave the
vehicle unattended when the engine is running.
This transmission is available with a column-mounted gearshift lever. The
instrument cluster displays the gear positions.
Allison 3000
Note:For more information about this transmission, see the separate
Allison 3000 Series Operator’s Manual.
The Allison 3000 series offers two shift modes: Performance and
Economy.
Performance mode gives the best all-around transmission operation. The
transmission defaults to this mode when you start the engine. Pressing
MODE on the shifter switches to Economy mode and illuminates the
Mode ON lamp.
Economy mode provides operation at lower engine RPM while
maintaining adequate performance.
If the engine speed is above idle when a gear is selected using the
shifter, the vehicle does not move; the shifter must be moved to re-select
a gear after the engine speed returns to idle.
Torque Lock
If you park your vehicle on an incline without properly engaging position
P(by shifting into positionPbefore applying the parking brake), the
weight of the vehicle may generate an excessive amount of torque on the
parking pawl. This makes it difficult to shift the transmission out of
positionP.Hold the brake pedal down while shifting out of positionP,
then release the parking brake.

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•It may be necessary to have an authorized dealer increase the coolant
concentration above 50%.
•A coolant concentration of 60% provides improved freeze point
protection. Engine coolant concentrations above 60% decrease the
overheat protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may
cause engine damage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•It may be necessary to have an authorized dealer decrease the
coolant concentration to 40%.
•A coolant concentration of 40% provides improved overheat
protection. Engine coolant concentrations below 40% decrease the
corrosion and freeze protection characteristics of the engine coolant
and may cause engine damage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extreme climates should use
prediluted engine coolant for optimum cooling system and engine
protection.
What You Should Know About Fail-Safe Cooling (If Equipped)
(Gasoline Engine Only)
WARNING:If fail-safe cooling activates, pull off the road as soon
as safely possible and turn the engine off. The engine may
automatically shut off while driving without further indication.
If the engine coolant supply is very low, this feature allows you to drive
your vehicle temporarily before incremental component damage occurs.
The fail-safe distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and
terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat:
•The engine coolant temperature gauge moves to the red (hot) area.
•The information display indicates the engine is overheating.
•The service engine soon indicator illuminates.
If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine
automatically switches to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled
cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine.
