GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING:Extended idling at high engine speeds can produce
very high temperatures in the engine and exhaust system,
creating the risk of fire or other damage.
WARNING:Do not park, idle, or drive your vehicle on dry grass
or other dry ground cover. The emission system heats up the
engine compartment and exhaust system, which can start a fire.
WARNING:Do not start your vehicle in a closed garage or in
other enclosed areas. Exhaust fumes can be toxic. Always open
the garage door before you start the engine.
WARNING:If you smell exhaust fumes inside your vehicle, have
your vehicle checked by an authorized dealer immediately. Do
not drive if you smell exhaust fumes.
If you disconnect the battery, your vehicle may exhibit some unusual
driving characteristics for approximately five miles (eight kilometers)
after you connect it. This is because the engine management system
must realign itself with the engine. You may disregard any unusual
driving characteristics during this period.
The powertrain control system meets all Canadian interference-causing
equipment standard requirements regulating the impulse electrical field
strength of radio noise.
When starting your vehicle, avoid pressing the accelerator pedal before
and during operation. Only use the accelerator pedal when you have
difficulty starting the engine.
If you operate your vehicle in a heavy snowstorm or blowing snow
conditions, the engine air induction may partially clog with snow or ice.
If this occurs, the engine may experience a significant reduction in
power output. At the earliest opportunity, clear all the snow or ice away
from the air induction inlet.

3. Do not press the accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, or clutch
pedal (manual transmission).
4. The parking brake must remain set.
On average, depending on filter level and other factors, the process takes
20–30 minutes to complete. The DPF lamp turns off when the process is
complete. Repeat Steps 1–5, if parked regeneration is interrupted.
To Discontinue Parked Regeneration
Press any of the floor pedals to discontinue parked regeneration.
Maintenance and Service
The DPF can retain a relatively large amount of residual ash and provide
many miles and hours of maintenance-free operation. At some point,
generally beyond 150000 miles (240000 kilometers) or 5000 hours of
operation (whichever comes first), the DPF requires professional
cleaning to remove the accumulated ash.
The exact number of miles or hours of operation vary greatly depending
upon vehicle and engine loading and operating conditions, ash content of
the engine oil, and quality of the diesel fuel used in your truck. Adhering
to your engine manufacturer’s recommended oil and fuel specifications
maximizes the miles and hours of operation before a DPF professional
cleaning is required. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s manual for
more details about recommended maintenance and service of your DPF.
Exhaust Outlet Assembly
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Note:Do not modify or remove this device. Modification of the system
or additions of aftermarket devices can reduce the effectiveness of the
system, as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. Any
modifications may also invalidate the vehicle or engine warranty. See
your warranty information.
Note:Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures that may
result in vehicle or property damage or personal injury.
The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning
device that accompanies the DPF assembly. It can help control the
temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.

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.

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 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).

FUEL CONSUMPTION
Filling the Tank
The advertised capacity is the indicated capacity and the empty reserve
combined. Indicated capacity is the difference in the amount of fuel in a
full tank and a tank when the fuel gauge indicates empty. Empty reserve
is the amount of fuel in the tank after the fuel gauge indicates empty.
Note:The amount of usable fuel in the empty reserve varies. Do not rely
on it to increase your driving range. When refueling your vehicle after
the fuel gauge indicates empty, you might not be able to refuel the full
amount of the advertised capacity of the fuel tank due to the empty
reserve still present in the tank.
For consistent results when filling the fuel tank:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling. An inaccurate reading results if
you leave the engine running.
•Use the same fill rate (low–medium–high) each time you fill the tank.
•Allow no more than two automatic click–offs when filling.
•Have the vehicle loading and distribution the same every time.
•If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, fill the tanks evenly
or the fuel gauge reading may fluctuate slightly until the fuel level
between the two tanks balances out and becomes equal.
Note:If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks add fuel to both
fuel tanks when refueling or engine performance may degrade.
Results are most accurate when the filling method is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during the first 1000 miles
(1600 kilometers) of driving; this is your engine’s break-in period. Start
measuring after driving 2000–3000 miles (3200–4800 kilometers). Also,
fuel expense, frequency of fill-ups or fuel gauge readings are not
accurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1. Fill the fuel tank completely and record the initial odometer reading.
2. Each time you fill the tank, record the amount of fuel added.
3. After at least three to five tank fill-ups, fill the fuel tank and record
the current odometer reading.
4. Subtract your initial odometer reading from the current odometer
reading.
5. Calculate fuel economy as follows:
•Standard: Divide miles traveled by gallons used.
•Metric: Multiply liters used by 100, then divide by kilometers
traveled.

Safety Chains
Note:Do not attach safety chains to the bumper.
Always connect the trailer’s safety chains to the frame or hook retainers
of your vehicle hitch.
To connect the trailer’s safety chains, cross the chains under the trailer
tongue and allow enough slack for turning tight corners. Do not allow the
chains to drag on the ground.
Trailer Brakes
WARNING:Do not connect a trailer’s hydraulic brake system
directly to your vehicle’s brake system. Your vehicle may not have
enough braking power and your chances of having a crash greatly
increase.
Electric brakes and manual, automatic or surge-type trailer brakes are
safe if you install them properly and adjust them to the manufacturer’s
specifications. The trailer brakes must meet local and federal regulations.
The rating for the tow vehicle’s braking system operation is at
the gross vehicle weight rating, not the gross combined weight
rating.
Trailer Lamps
WARNING:Never connect any trailer lamp wiring to the
vehicle’s tail lamp wiring; this may damage the electrical system
resulting in a fire. Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible for
assistance in proper trailer tow wiring installation. Additional electrical
equipment may be required.
Trailer lamps are required on most towed vehicles. Make sure all running
lights, brake lights, turn signals and hazard lights are working.
Before Towing a Trailer
Practice turning, stopping and backing up to get the feel of your
vehicle-trailer combination before starting on a trip. When turning, make
wider turns so the trailer wheels clear curbs and other obstacles.
When Towing a Trailer
•Check your hitch, electrical connections and trailer wheel lug nuts
thoroughly after you have traveled 50 miles (80 kilometers).
