Engine compartment (with engine off)
Engine oilUse the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the
proper operating range. SeeEngine oil checkin
theMaintenancechapter.
Engine coolantLook through the plastic reservoir or the clear
sight glass on the reservoir (depending upon
vehicle equipment) and verify the coolant level is
within the proper operating range.Do not
remove the pressure cap until the coolant
has cooled.SeeEngine coolant checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Power steering
fluidVerify that the fluid level is in the proper
operating range. SeePower steering fluid check
in theMaintenancechapter.
Brake fluidRemove the master cylinder caps and inspect the
fluid level. SeeBrake fluid checkin the
Maintenancechapter.
Clutch fluidRemove the cap and inspect the fluid level. See
Clutch fluid and linkagein theMaintenance
chapter.
Belts (fan,
alternator, water
pump and air
conditioning
compressor)Inspect for glazing, fraying or cracking. There
should be no more than 5-7 cracks per rib, per
inch (2.5 centimeters).
Fluid leaksInspect for signs of fluid puddles or dripping fluid
on the ground under the engine, or the underside
of the engine.
HVAC air inletInspect for debris that may have collected on the
HVAC air inlet grille or inside the exterior module
as this may reduce system performance.

Engine starting (with parking brake applied)
Safety and
emergency
equipmentBefore entering the cab, verify that the vehicle is
equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps and
grab handles, inside and out (as well as behind),
are tight and clean. Use extreme caution and a
three-point stance at all times.
Inspect door latches for proper closing, latching
and locking.
Starting the
engineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, and
then release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine oil
pressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Low air pressure
warning tone (if
equipped with an
air compressor)A tone indicating low air pressure should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The tone
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cutout pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.
VoltmeterCheck the gauge (diesel engine) or indicator light
(gasoline engine) to verify the alternator is
charging.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the diesel exhaust fluid level falls below
0.5 gallons (1.9L) in the 5- gallon (19.0L) tank or one gallon
(3.8L) in the 9-gallon (34.0L) tank. Refill the tank or, at a
minimum, add at least one gallon (3.8L) to the 5- gallon (19.0L) tank or
two gallons (7.6L) to the 9- 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 transmission problem exists;
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 there are operating
limitations on the transmission (such as. upshift and downshift
restrictions). Direction changes do not occur.
Direction Indicator
It illuminates when you turn on the left or right turn signal or
the hazard warning flasher. 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 tone sounds to remind you to fasten your
safety belt.

•TRIP A/B: Registers the distance of individual journeys. Press and
release the INFO button until the A or B trip appears in the display
(this represents the trip mode). Press the RESET button to reset.
SeeSystem check and vehicle feature customizationlater in this
section to switch the display from metric to English.
•MILES (KILOMETERS) TO E: This displays an estimate of
approximately how far you can drive with the fuel remaining in your
tank under normal driving conditions. Remember to turn the ignition
off when refueling to allow this feature to detect the added fuel
correctly. The distance to empty calculation uses a running average
fuel economy based on your recent driving history of 500 miles
(800 kilometers). This value is not the same as the average fuel
economy display. The running average fuel economy resets to a
factory default value if the battery is disconnected.
•AVG MPG (L/100 km): Average fuel economy displays your average
fuel economy in miles/gallon or liters/100 km.
•TIMER: Displays the trip elapsed drive time. Press and release
RESET to pause the timer. Press and hold RESET to reset the timer.
