out after the engine is started.
Diesel Engines
If this light comes on while the
engine is running, it indicates power
is being reduced due to one or more
of the following conditions:
.
Malfunction of the engine or
exhaust electronic control
system.
. DEF level is too low or empty.
If this light comes on with the
malfunction indicator lamp, see your
dealer immediately. If this light comes on with the Refill
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) warning
light and the DEF warning light, refill
DEF as soon as possible.

Gas Engines
If this light comes on while the
engine is running, this means the
engine is overheating and in
overheat protection mode. The
overheat protection mode alternates
firing groups of cylinders in order to
prevent engine damage. In this
mode, the engine loses power and
performance. This operating mode
allows your vehicle to be driven to a
safe place in an emergency. Driving
extended miles (km) and/or towing a
trailer in the overheat protection
mode should be avoided.

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
