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.

AUXILIARY POWER POINTS
WARNING:Do not plug optional electrical accessories into the
cigarette lighter socket (if equipped). Improper use of the lighter
can cause damage not covered by your warranty, and can result in fire
or serious injury.
Note:If you use the power points when the engine is not running, the
battery may discharge and there may not be sufficient battery power to
start your engine.
Note:Do not insert objects other than an accessory plug into the power
point. This damages the outlet and blows the fuse.
Note:Do not hang any type of accessory or accessory bracket from the
plug.
Note:Do not use the power point over the vehicle capacity of 12–volt
DC 180 watts or a fuse may blow.
Note:Do not use the power point for operating a cigarette lighter
element.
Note:Improper use of the power point can cause damage not covered
by your warranty.
Note:Always keep the power point caps closed when they are not in
use.
Run the engine for full capacity use of the power point. To prevent the
battery from discharging:
•Do not use the power point longer than necessary when the engine is
not running.
•Do not leave devices plugged in overnight or when you park your
vehicle for extended periods.
Locations
Power points may be:
•On the instrument panel (two locations).
•Inside the center console storage compartment (if equipped).
•On the rear of the center console (if equipped).
•Inside the 20-percent front seat console (if equipped).
•Inside the rear under seat storage compartment (if equipped).

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.

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.

CHANGING A FUSE
Fuses
WARNING:Always replace a fuse with one that has the
specified amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher amperage
rating can cause severe wire damage and could start a fire.
If electrical components in your
vehicle are not working, a fuse may
have blown. Blown fuses are
identified by a broken wire within
the fuse. Check the appropriate
fuses before replacing any electrical
components.
