Filling the DEF Tank
WARNING:Make sure that DEF does not come into contact
with eyes, skin or clothing. Should DEF contact your eyes, flush
them with plenty of water and contact a physician. Clean affected skin
with soap and water. If DEF is swallowed, drink plenty of water and
contact a physician immediately.
WARNING:Refill DEF in a well-ventilated area. When opening
the cap on the DEF tank or bottle containing DEF, ammonia
vapors may escape. The vapors can be irritating to skin, eyes and
mucous membranes. Inhaling ammonia vapors can cause burning to the
eyes, throat and nose and cause coughing and watery eyes.

Contaminated DEF
SCR systems are sensitive to contamination of the DEF. USE ONLY
CERTIFIED DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID. If the system becomes
contaminated and you continue to drive your vehicle with contaminated
DEF, the following warnings result:

If any of these warnings appear, you must purge the contaminated DEF
and replace it with approved DEF. See an authorized dealer or the
Workshop Manual.
Upon filling the DEF tank after a DEF contaminated warning, normal
operation resumes when you restart your vehicle.
DEF Guidelines and Information
•DEF is non-flammable, non-toxic, colorless and water-soluble.
•Use only DEF that carries the trademark: AMERICAN PETROLEUM
INSTITUTE CERTIFIED DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID.
•An ammonia odor may be smelled when the cap is removed or during
a refill. Refill the DEF tank in a well-ventilated area.
•Before filling the tank, make sure the surrounding area is clean of
debris to prevent contamination.
•Do not dilute DEF with water or any other liquid.
•Do not put DEF in the fuel tank or any other tank on your vehicle.
•Do not re-use the nozzle or the DEF container once it is empty.
•Do not overfill the DEF tank.
•Avoid spilling DEF on painted surfaces, carpeting or plastic
components. Immediately wipe away any DEF that has spilled on
painted surfaces with a damp cloth and water. If it has already
crystallized, use warm water and a sponge.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
You can see the manual transmission shift patterns on either the shift
lever knob or the sun visor. Study this information carefully before you
drive your vehicle even though you may be familiar with similar units. Do
not attempt to drive your vehicle without knowing the exact shift pattern
of the transmission. Consult an authorized dealer if any questions exist
as to the shifting instructions posted in your vehicle.
Driving Hints
WARNING:Do not coast the vehicle with the clutch pedal
pressed or with the transmission in neutral. This practice could
result in loss of vehicle control.
The following driving hints are a brief, general guide in operating the
different manual transmissions used in your vehicle.
•When shifting into first gear or reverse with your vehicle standing
still, quickly release and press the clutch pedal (if necessary to
complete gear engagement).
•Always use the lowest (or most appropriate) gear to start your
vehicle.
•Always use a gear ratio low enough to allow the engine to operate
above the minimum engine operation speed range.
•Do not lug the engine.
•Do not slam or jerk the gearshift lever into gear.
•When more power is required, shift to a lower gear and accelerate
the engine near the governed speed.
To go forward, press the clutch pedal in and shift into first gear while
the engine is idling. Engage the clutch while pressing the accelerator to
start forward. Operate the clutch and upshift as required by driving
conditions.
To go backward, put the gearshift lever in reverse and engaging the
clutch while pressing lightly on the accelerator.
Shifting with a Synchronized Transmission
With the clutch pedal pressed in, use the second gear synchronizer to
stop the clutch disc rotation, this allows smooth engagement of first gear
or reverse. To complete the gear engagement, it may be necessary to
apply light pressure to the gearshift lever during initial engagement of
the clutch. It takes a second or two to match gear speeds; steady
pressure on the gearshift lever helps the synchronizer perform its job

Spicer ES56-7B and ES066-7B 7-speed
These transmissions are equipped with seven forward
gears and one reverse; 2–7 are synchronized gears. The
shift pattern is on the gearshift knob.
Do not shift the transmission into first gear or reverse while your vehicle
is moving as this could damage the transmission.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OPERATION (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Hold the brake pedal down while you move the
gearshift lever between positions. If you do not hold the brake
pedal down, your vehicle may move unexpectedly and cause property
damage, personal injury or death.
Main transmission, auxiliary transmission, transfer case and power
take-off (PTO) control shift patterns can be found on a placard or decal
on the driver’s sun visor, on the instrument panel or on the shift control
itself.
Use the main transmission control to select the various gear ratios or
speeds of the transmission. Selecting position D does not change the
transmission gear ratio, but for use where the gear ratios in the main
transmission are adequate to handle the vehicle operation.
If the transmission fails to shift properly, check the inline 10A fuse
located in the battery cables above the battery.

Brake-shift Interlock
Vehicles equipped with a gasoline engine have a brake-shift interlock
feature that prevents you from moving the gearshift lever from position
Pwhen the ignition is in the on position and the brake pedal is not
pressed.
If you cannot move the gearshift lever out of positionPwith the ignition
in the on position and the brake pedal pressed, it is possible that a fuse
has blown or your vehicle’s brake lamps are not operating properly. See
theFuseschapter.
WARNING:Do not drive your vehicle until you verify that the
brake lamps are working.
WARNING:When doing this procedure, you will be taking the
vehicle out of park which means the vehicle can roll freely. To
avoid unwanted vehicle movement, always fully set the parking brake
prior to doing this procedure. Use wheel chocks if appropriate.
WARNING:If the parking brake is fully released, but the brake
warning lamp remains illuminated, the brakes may not be
working properly. See your authorized dealer.

If the fuse is not blown and the brake lamps are working properly, the
following procedure allows you to move the gearshift lever from position
P:
1. Apply the parking brake, and
turn the engine off.
2. Remove the lower finish panel
below the steering column.
3. Turn the key to the on position,
but do not start the engine.
4. Pull back on the solenoid, and
at the same time, shift the
transmission into positionN.
5. Start your vehicle.
See an authorized dealer as soon as
possible if this procedure is used.
Six–speed TorqShift® Transmission
WARNING:Always set the parking brake fully and make sure
the gearshift is latched in position P. Turn the ignition to the off
position and remove the key whenever you leave your vehicle.
WARNING:Do not use the tow/haul feature when driving in icy
or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause
the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the
possible loss of vehicle control.
