WARNING LAMPS AND
INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and
indicators alert you to a vehicle condition
that may become serious. Some lamps
illuminate when you start your vehicle to
make sure they work. If any lamps remain
on after starting your vehicle, refer to the
respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note: Some warning indicators appear in
the information display and operate the
same as a warning lamp but do not
illuminate when you start your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Braking System If it illuminates when you are
driving, this indicates a
malfunction. Your vehicle
continues to have normal braking without
the anti-lock brake system function. Have
your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Automatic Regeneration Control
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch it
off.
Battery If it illuminates while driving, it
indicates a malfunction. Switch
off all unnecessary electrical
equipment and have the system checked
by an authorized dealer immediately. Brake System WARNING
Driving your vehicle with the warning
lamp on is dangerous. A significant
decrease in braking performance
may occur. It may take you longer to stop
your vehicle. Have your vehicle checked as
soon as possible. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged
can cause brake failure and the risk of
personal injury. Indicates low brake fluid level or
a brake system malfunction.
Have the system checked
immediately by an authorized dealer.
Check Fuel Cap Illuminates when you may not
have properly installed the fuel
cap. Continued driving with this
light on may cause the Service engine soon
warning indicator to come on.
Check Suspension
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you press the
air suspension dump switch.
Cruise Control
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch on
this feature. See
Using Cruise
Control (page 137).
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(If Equipped) Illuminates with the key in the
ON position, when the fluid is
contaminated or the level falls
below
1.0 gal (3.8 L). Refill the tank or, at
a minimum, add at least 1.0 gal (3.8 L) in
the tank.

setting the parking brake, this may indicate
a failure in the parking brake system. Seek
service from an authorized dealer
immediately. Driving extended distances
with the parking brake engaged can cause
brake failure and the risk of personal injury.
Powertrain Malfunction/Reduced
Power/Electronic Throttle Control
(If Equipped)
Illuminates in the event of a
powertrain fault. Contact an
authorized dealer as soon as
possible.
Service Engine Soon If it illuminates when the engine
is running this indicates a
malfunction. The On Board
Diagnostics system has detected a
malfunction of the vehicle emission control
system.
If it flashes, engine misfire may be
occurring. Increased exhaust gas
temperatures could damage the catalytic
converter or other vehicle components.
Drive in a moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and have
your vehicle immediately serviced.
It illuminates when you switch the ignition
on prior to engine start to check the bulb
and to indicate whether your vehicle is
ready for Inspection and Maintenance
(I/M) testing.
Normally, it illuminates until the engine is
cranked and automatically turns off if no
malfunctions are present. However, if after
15 seconds it flashes eight times, this
indicates that your vehicle is not ready for
Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) testing.
See Catalytic Converter (page 103). Stability Control and Traction
Control Indicator
(If Equipped) Illuminates and slowly flashes
when you change the traction
control mode. It illuminates and
rapidly flashes during a traction or stability
control event.
Trailer Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) Illuminates briefly when you
switch on the ignition, and only
when a PLC trailer or a PLC
diagnostic tool is connected. If the light
fails to illuminate, remains on after you
start the vehicle or continues to flash, have
the system serviced immediately.
Transmission Tow/Haul
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch on
the tow/haul feature. If the light
flashes steadily, have the system
serviced immediately, damage to the
transmission could occur.
Two Speed Axle The Two Speed Axle indicator
comes on when you switch the
low axle range on.
Wait to Start
(If Equipped) Illuminates when you switch the
ignition on as part of the
pre-start system. Wait until the
wait to start indicator turns off before
attempting to start vehicle. WARNING
Do not use starting fluid, for example
ether, in the air intake system. Such
fluid could cause immediate
explosive damage to the engine and
possible personal injury. 62

shows a cleaning exhaust filter message,
which is the normal regeneration process.
You can also choose operator commanded
regeneration to clean the exhaust system
at this point. See Information Messages
(page 66).
If you are not able to drive in a manner that
allows effective automatic active
regeneration or you choose to perform
regeneration of the diesel particulate filter
while at idle, then operator commanded
regeneration would need to be performed.
Operator Commanded Regeneration
(If Equipped)
If your vehicle is operated with significant
stationary operation, low speed drive
cycles less than
25 mph (40 km/h), short
drive cycles, a drive time is less than 10 -
15 minutes or the vehicle does not fully
warm up, passive and active regeneration
may not sufficiently clean the diesel
particulate filter system. Operator
commanded regeneration allows you to
manually start regeneration of the diesel
particulate filter at idle to clean the filter
only when the diesel particulate filter is full
(100%). If you are not sure whether your
vehicle has this feature, contact an
authorized dealer.
When to Carry Out Operator Commanded
Regeneration
You can use the operator commanded
regeneration feature when a message
appears in the information display only.
When viewing the Exhaust Filter Status
message - Exhaust Filter XX% and the
diesel particulate filter message indicates
FULL, and you are not able to drive in a
manner that allows effective automatic
active regeneration, or if you choose to
manually start the regeneration of the
diesel particulate filter manually while the
vehicle is idle. See
Information
Messages (page 66). Operator Commanded Regeneration
Precautions and Safe Exhaust Position WARNINGS
Do not park or idle your vehicle over
dry leaves, dry grass or other
combustible materials. The
regeneration process creates very high
exhaust gas temperatures and the exhaust
will radiate a considerable amount of heat
during and after regeneration and after you
have switched the engine off. This is a
potential fire hazard. Stay clear of the exhaust tailpipe
during regeneration. Hot exhaust
gases can burn you badly.
Make sure that the louvers located at the
tip of the exhaust are clear of any
obstructions as they are used to introduce
fresh air into the tailpipe to cool the
exhaust gases as they leave the exhaust
system.
Before you start operator commanded
regeneration, do the following:
•
Shift into park (P) or if you have an
RNDM selector shift into neutral (N)
and apply the parking and or air brake,
on stable, level ground.
• Park your vehicle outside of any
structure.
• Park your vehicle
10– 15 ft (3–5 m)
away from any obstructions and away
from materials that can easily combust
or melt, for example paper, leaves,
petroleum products, fuels, plastics and
other dry organic material.
• Make sure there is a minimum of 1/8
tank of fuel.
• Make sure all fluids are at proper levels.
