Door Ajar
Displays when the ignition is on
and any door is not completely
closed.
Electronic Locking Differential (If
Equipped) Illuminates when using the
electronic locking differential.
Engine Coolant Temperature If it illuminates when your vehicle
is moving, this indicates that the
engine is overheating. Stop your
vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so and
switch the engine off. Have your vehicle
checked as soon as possible. See Engine
Coolant Check
(page 226). idk
Engine Oil Pressure If it illuminates with the engine
running, or when you are driving,
this indicates a malfunction.
Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe to
do so and switch off the engine. Check the
engine oil level.
Note: Do not resume your journey if it
illuminates despite the level being correct.
Have the system checked as soon as
possible.

Hydromax Illuminates to indicate normal
hydromax booster reserve
system activation when the
engine is off and the service brake pedal is
applied. This light may also illuminate
momentarily if the engine is running and
the driver turns the steering wheel fully in
one direction while braking. If the light
remains on while the engine is running, this
indicates inadequate hydraulic booster
pressure or reserve pump system failure.
Stop the vehicle as soon as possible and
seek service immediately by your
authorized dealer.

If you do not have a blown fuse and the
brake lamps are properly working, the
following procedure allows you to move
the gearshift lever from park (P):
1. Apply the parking brake. Switch the
ignition key to off, then remove the key.
2. Move the steering column to the full down and full rearward position,
toward the driver seat.
3. Remove the gearshift lever boot.
4. Place your fingers into the hole where you removed the gearshift lever boot
and pull the top half of the shroud up
and forward to separate it from the
lower half of the shroud. There is a
hinge at the forward edge of the top of
the shroud. Roll the top half of the
shroud upward on the hinge point, then
pull straight rearward toward the driver
seat to remove.
5. Remove the top half of the shroud.
6. Remove the three fasteners under the column that secure the lower shroud
half to the column. 7.
Pull the lock lever into the full unlocked
position and remove the lower shroud
cover by pulling the lever handle
through the slot in the cover.
8. Apply the brake. Gently lift the override
disk and move the gearshift lever into
neutral (N). 9. Start your vehicle.
Perform Steps 4 through 8 in reverse order,
making sure to engage the hinge pivots
between the upper and lower halves of the
shroud. Keep slight pressure in the forward
direction as you rotate the halves together.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck in Mud
or Snow
If your vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, you
could rock it out by shifting between
forward and reverse gears, stopping
between shifts in a steady pattern. Press
lightly on the accelerator in each gear.
Note:
Do not rock your vehicle if the engine
is not at normal operating temperature or
damage to the transmission could occur.
Note: Do not rock your vehicle for more
than a minute or damage to the
transmission and tires could occur, or the
engine could overheat.
POWER TAKE-OFF (IF EQUIPPED)
Auxiliary equipment called power take-off,
or PTO, is often added to the engine or
transmission to operate utility equipment.
Examples include a wheel-lift for tow
trucks, cranes, tools for construction or tire
service and pumping fluids. PTO
applications draw auxiliary horsepower
from the powertrain, often while the

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these ratings
by overloading can cause component
failure resulting in property damage,
personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds
250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubrication
oxidation increases and shortens the life
of the lubricant and seals, requiring axle
lubrication changes to become more
frequent to preserve the axle. Do not
consistently run extreme pressure (EP)
lubricants above
250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions WARNING:
When operating a
loaded vehicle, the driver must keep all
adjustable axles on the ground at all
times, supporting their share of the
vehicle ’s load. Failure to do so can
overload other axles, tires, wheels,
springs, steering components, brakes
and frames, resulting in early component
failure, loss of vehicle control, possible
property damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,
performing axle conversions. However, we
understand that, on occasion, others install
aftermarket add-on axles on the truck
chassis that allow operator control for
weight transfer from other axles (such as
air lift axles). ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(IF EQUIPPED)
Driver-Controlled Electronic
Locking Differential
Note: Never use the differential lock at
vehicle speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h).
Some drive axles have a driver-controlled
differential lock. The differential lock can
lock or unlock the differential when your
vehicle is moving or stopped. When you
require extra traction, the differential lock
provides full power to both wheels.
When you lock the differential, your
vehicle ’s turning radius increases
(under-steer).
Take care to avoid sudden accelerations
when both drive wheels are on a slippery
surface. WARNING:
Sudden acceleration
on slippery surfaces could cause the
wheels to spin, the vehicle to turn
sideways on a crowned road surface or
in a turn, possibly resulting in loss of
vehicle control and personal injury.
Activating the Electronic Locking
Differential
You can lock and unlock the differential
when your vehicle is moving at a constant
speed of less than 25 mph (40 km/h) and
while the wheels are not slipping. Do not
lock the differential when your vehicle is
traveling down steep grades and when
traction is minimal.
The differential lock and differential lock
light automatically disengage at speeds
above
25 mph (40 km/h). The differential
lock remains off until either you restart your
vehicle, or you turn the differential lock
switch off then back on.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Do not apply the brake
pedal and accelerator pedal
simultaneously. Applying both pedals
simultaneously for more than a few
seconds will limit engine performance,
which may result in difficulty maintaining
speed in traffic and could lead to serious
injury.
Note: Occasional brake noise is normal. If
a metal-to-metal, continuous grinding or
continuous squeal sound is present, the
brake linings may be worn-out. Have the
system checked as soon as possible. If your
vehicle has continuous vibration or shudder
in the steering wheel while braking, have it
checked by an authorized dealer.
All standard equipment brakes are
self-adjusting. Automatic adjustment,
when required, occurs whenever you apply
and release the brakes during forward or
reverse operation.
Know the required stopping distances for
all driving conditions you may encounter.
For longer brake lining life, take full
advantage of engine braking power when
coming to a stop.
Wet brakes result in reduced braking
efficiency. Gently press the brake pedal a
few times when driving from a car wash or
standing water to dry the brakes.
If the brakes do not grip well:
• Check brake adjustment.
• Check the brake linings for excessive
wear.
• Check the system air pressure on
vehicles with air brakes. •
Let the brakes cool if you have been
using them excessively, as in mountain
driving or after several fast, high-speed
stops.
• If you have been driving through deep
water, gently apply the brakes several
times while your vehicle is moving
slowly.
Brake Over Accelerator
In the event the accelerator pedal
becomes stuck or entrapped, apply steady
and firm pressure to the brake pedal to
slow the vehicle and reduce engine power.
If you experience this condition, apply the
brakes and bring your vehicle to a safe
stop. Move the transmission to park (P),
switch the engine off and apply the parking
brake. Inspect the accelerator pedal for
any interference. If none are found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle towed
to the nearest authorized dealer
Anti-lock Brake System
This system helps you maintain steering
control during emergency stops by keeping
the brakes from locking. This lamp momentarily
illuminates when you switch the
ignition on. If the light does not
illuminate during start up, remains on or
flashes, the system may be disabled. Have
the system checked by an authorized
dealer. If you connect a PLC trailer with
the ignition on, the trailer ABS
light also illuminates. If the light
fails to illuminate, if it remains on after you
start the vehicle or continues to flash, have
the system serviced immediately.

Warning Lamps and Indicators
(page 66).

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION -
VEHICLES WITH: HYDRAULIC
BRAKES
WARNING: Vehicle modifications
involving braking system, aftermarket
roof racks, suspension, steering system,
tire construction and wheel and tire size
may change the handling characteristics
of your vehicle and may adversely affect
the performance of the electronic
stability control system. In addition,
installing any stereo loudspeakers may
interfere with and adversely affect the
electronic stability control system. Install
any aftermarket stereo loudspeaker as
far as possible from the front center
console, the tunnel, and the front seats
in order to minimize the risk of interfering
with the electronic stability control
sensors. Reducing the effectiveness of
the electronic stability control system
could lead to an increased risk of loss of
vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal
injury and death. WARNING:
Remember that even
advanced technology cannot defy the
laws of physics. It's always possible to
lose control of a vehicle due to
inappropriate driver input for the
conditions. Aggressive driving on any
road condition can cause you to lose
control of your vehicle increasing the risk
of personal injury or property damage.
Activation of the electronic stability
control system is an indication that at
least some of the tires have exceeded
their ability to grip the road; this could reduce the operator's ability to control
the vehicle potentially resulting in a loss
of vehicle control, vehicle rollover,
personal injury and death. If your
electronic stability control system
activates, SLOW DOWN.
The system turns on each time you switch
the ignition on.
If a fault occurs in either the stability
control or the traction control system, the
following conditions are possible:
• The stability and traction control light
illuminate.
• The stability control and traction
control systems are not maintaining
traction of the wheels.
If a driving condition activates either the
stability control or the traction control
system, the following conditions are
possible:
• The stability and traction control light
flash.
• Your vehicle slows down.
• The system reduces engine power.
• A vibration in the brake pedal.
• The brake pedal is stiffer than usual.
• If the driving condition is severe and
your foot is not on the brake, the brake
pedal could move as the system
applies higher brake force.
The stability control system has several
features built into it to help you maintain
control of your vehicle:
Electronic Stability Control
The system assists in preventing skids or
lateral slides by applying the brakes to one
or more of the wheels individually and, if
necessary, decreases engine power.
