when a new vehicle has been driven
a certain distance, but this is not a
malfunction. The vehicle may not
emit white smoke immediately after
purchase.
DPF PM Accumulation Level
This green display only indicates
DPF soot accumulation status. The
DIC can display the PM
accumulation level in green. The L
indicates Low accumulation of PM
and the H indicates High
accumulation of PM in the DPF.
As PM accumulation increases
inside the DPF, the DIC will display
additional bars increasing from L to
H to show the approximate level of
PM accumulation. SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) (Diesel
Only) 093. DPF Regeneration Status
This amber display indicates the
DPF is regenerating. During DPF
regeneration, the DIC can display
the status of PM reduction in amber.
The highest accumulation level bar
will be flashing as indication of the
regeneration process.
As PM levels decrease in the DPF
during the regeneration process, the
DIC will decrease the number of
bars from H to L. See
Driver
Information Center (DIC) (Diesel
Only) 093. Automatic Regeneration of DPFThe DPF will regenerate itself as
part of normal operation.
The engine control module (ECM)
controls this function based on
several factors including hours of
operation and mileage. When
automatic regeneration starts, the
regeneration in progress indicator
light (amber) is displayed on
the DIC.
During regeneration the engine idle
speed will increase and the exhaust
brake may activate when the vehicle
is idling while stopped or parked.
Regeneration is normally completed
in about 20 minutes. See
Driver

310 Vehicle Care
In addition, when trucks are driven
continuously on high-crown roads,
an increase in air pressure of
35 kPa (5 psi) in the outer tire of a
dual tire operation will prolong outer
tire life. Be sure not to exceed the
inflation pressure limits shown on
the“VIN and Weight Rating Plate”
for the 3.0L diesel engine, on the
“VIN, Weight Rating, and
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Plate” for the 5.2L diesel engine,
or the “Vehicle Certification and
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Plate” for gas engines. See Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) 0383.
Wheel and Tire Balancing
Proper tire balancing provides the
best riding comfort and helps to
reduce tire tread wear.
Out-of-balance tires can cause
annoying vehicle vibration and
uneven tire wear, such as cupping
and flat spots. See your authorized
dealer for wheel balancing.
Front End Alignment
Proper front end alignment improves
tire tread mileage. Your vehicle's
front end suspension parts should be inspected often and aligned
when needed. (See the
Maintenance Schedule for more
information.) Improper alignment will
not cause the vehicle to vibrate;
however, improper toe-in alignment
will cause front tires to roll at an
angle that will result in faster tire
wear. Incorrect caster or camber
alignment will cause your front tires
to wear unevenly, and may cause
the vehicle to "pull" to the left or
right.
Tire Traction
A decrease in driving, cornering and
braking traction occurs when water,
snow, ice, gravel or other material is
on the road surface. Driving
practices and vehicle speed should
be adjusted to the road conditions.
When driving on wet or slushy
roads, it is possible for a wedge of
water to build up between the tire
and road surface. This is known as
hydroplaning, and may cause partial
or complete loss of traction, vehicle
control and stopping ability; this
condition is also more likely with
worn tires.
To reduce the chance of traction
loss, follow these tips:
.
Slow down during rainstorms or
when roads are slushy.
. Slow down if the road has
standing water or puddles.
. Replace tires when front tread
depth is 3.2 mm (4/32 in.) and
rear tread depth is 1.6 mm
(2/32 in.).
. Keep tires properly inflated.
Tire Replacement
Recommendations
{Warning
Do not mix different construction
types of tires on your vehicle such
as radial, bias and bias-belted
tires except in emergencies,
because vehicle handling could
be affected and may result in loss
of vehicle control, or personal
injury or death. (Continued)

Vehicle Care 313
If the original equipment tires are
low rolling tires, it is recommended
to use the LRRA tires shown in the
above table.
For gas engines, please refer to the
emission control identifiers on
Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission
plate for your original equipment
tires. Also, please refer to“Vehicle
Certification and Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) Emissions Plate” for the
location of the Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emission plate. See Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) 0383.
For the 5.2L diesel engine, please
refer to the emission control
identifiers on Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emission plate for your
original equipment tires. Also,
please refer to “VIN, Weight Rating,
and Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Plate” for the location of
the Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emission plate. See Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) 0383. Wheel Replacement
Recommendations
Wheels must be replaced if they
become damaged (for example:
bent, heavily rusted, leak air) or if
wheel nuts often become loose. Do
not use bent wheels that have been
straightened and do not use inner
tubes in leaking wheels which are
designed for tubeless tires. Such
wheels may have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
When replacing wheels for any
reason, the new wheels should be
equal in load capacity, diameter,
width, offset and mounting types to
those originally installed in your
vehicle.
A wheel of the wrong size or type
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
stopping ability, headlight aim,
bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or tire chain
clearance on the body and chassis. Replacement with "used" wheels is
not advised. They may have been
subjected to harsh treatment or very
high mileage and could fail without
warning.
{Warning
Consult your dealer before
replacing wheels. Never use
wheels that are not designed for
the vehicle. Doing so would
impede safe vehicle operation.
The use of wheels and/or tires with
higher load carrying limits than
originally equipped on your vehicle
does not in itself increase the
GAWR or the GVWR of the vehicle.
Replacement wheels can be
obtained from the authorized dealer
or tire dealer.

346 Service and Maintenance
necessary equipment, you should
let your authorized dealer's service
department or another qualified
service center do these jobs.
The schedule includes general
maintenance which you or a
qualified technician should perform
periodically.
Explanation of Vehicle
Maintenance and Log
The following is a brief explanation
of normal vehicle use.
NORMAL VEHICLE USE—The
maintenance instructions contained
in this section are based on the
assumption that your vehicle will be
used as designed:
.To carry passengers and cargo
with the limitations indicated on
the vehicle VIN and GVW plate.
. On reasonable road surfaces
within legal operating limits.
. On a daily basis, as a general
rule, for at least several miles/
kilometers. Unusual operating conditions, such
as driving in dusty areas (sweeper,
agricultural or off-road vehicles),
extended idling (refrigeration
vehicles), or vehicles operated for
frequent short trips, will require
more frequent vehicle maintenance.
The log groups items according to
mile/kilometer service intervals. Use
the item codes (letter and number)
to find the description of the
maintenance and the time intervals.
Follow whichever interval comes
first, time or miles/kilometers.
After the maintenance services are
performed, insert the month, day
and mileage/ kilometers in the area
provided next to the serviced item.
The services shown up to
176 000 km (110,000 miles) are to
be repeated after the initial
176 000 km (110,000 miles) at the
same intervals.
Severe Driving Conditions
A vehicle operated under severe
conditions (see list below) requires
more frequent maintenance. .
Frequent short trips of less than
6 kilometers (4 miles) in
moderate temperatures
. Frequent short trips of less than
16 kilometers (10 miles) in sub-
freezing temperatures
. Frequent and extended low-
speed engine operation (door-
to- door deliveries, stop- and- go
traffic, etc.)
. Driving on unpaved roads with
heavy dust
. Towing a trailer
Preventive Maintenance
As any mechanical device operates,
a certain amount of wear occurs.
The amount of wear depends on
certain variables –type and method
of operation and the schedule of
maintenance. These variables may
be emphasized as critical to
malfunction but each is dependent
upon the other. For example, if a
vehicle is repeatedly overloaded,
driven at excessive speed or
improperly shifted, no schedule of
maintenance can prevent
malfunction. Also, if a preventive
