Note:
Depending on your vehicle options
and instrument cluster type, not all of the
messages display or are available. Certain
messages may be abbreviated or shortened
depending upon which cluster type you
have. Press the OK button to acknowledge and
remove some messages from the
information display. Other messages will
be removed automatically after a short
time.
Certain messages need to be confirmed
before you can access the menus.
AWD Action
Message
The all wheel drive system has automatically disabled itself due to the system overheating.
AWD Temporarily
Disabled
The all wheel drive system is locking up the torque transfer clutchto help reduce clutch temperature.
AWD Temporarily
Locked
Displays when the system automatically disables to protect itself.
This may be caused by operating the vehicle with a mini spare tire installed, if the system detects dissimilar size tires, or if there is an
issue with another vehicle system preventing AWD operation. The system resumes normal operation and clears this message after
you cycle the ignition on and off and drive a short distance with the road tire re-installed or after the other vehicle system issues are resolved.
AWD OFF
Displays after the system cools and the all wheel drive system resumes normal function.
AWD Restored

All-Wheel Drive Messages
Action / Description
AWD Messages
Displayed when the system has been
automatically disabled to protect itself.
This is caused by operating the vehicle with the compact spare tire installed or if thesystem is overheating. The system willresume normal function and clear this
message after cycling the ignition on and off and driving a short distance with the
road tire re-installed or after the system is allowed to cool.
AWD OFF
Displayed when the all wheel drive systemresumes normal function and clears this
message after driving a short distance with
the road tire re-installed or after the system cools.
AWD Restored
Displayed when the all wheel drive system
has automatically disabled itself due to thesystem overheating.
AWD Temporarily Disabled
Displayed when the all wheel drive systemneeds to temporarily lock to help reduce the heat in the AWD torque actuator.
AWD Temporarily Locked
Displayed in conjunction with the power-train malfunction/reduced power light
when the system is not operating properly. If the warning stays on or continues to
come on, contact your authorized dealer as soon as possible.
AWD Malfunction Service Required
Never use a spare tire of a different size
other than the tire provided. The AWD
system will disable and enter rear-wheel
drive only mode to protect driveline
components if a non-full sized tire is
installed. Some limited AWD traction could
be provided if a mini-spare is installed on
one of the front wheels. If you are in driving
conditions where limited AWD traction is
needed while a mini-spare is installed, it is
recommended the mini-spare be installed
on the front axle. If a mini-spare is installed, this condition is
indicated by a message in the information
display. If there is a message in the
information display from using a non-full
sized spare tire, this indicator should turn
off after reinstalling the repaired or
replaced normal road tire and cycling the
ignition off and on. It is recommended to

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Specifications
WARNING: When you install a wheel, always remove any corrosion, dirt or foreign
materials present on the mounting surfaces of the wheel or the surface of the wheel
hub, brake drum or brake disc that contacts the wheel. Make sure to secure any fasteners
that attach the rotor to the hub so they do not interfere with the mounting surfaces of
the wheel. Installing wheels without correct metal-to-metal contact at the wheel
mounting surfaces can cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel to come off while
your vehicle is in motion, resulting in loss of vehicle control, personal injury or death. lb.ft (Nm)

Bolt Size
150 lb.ft (204 Nm)
M14 x 1.5
1 Torque specifications are for nut and bolt threads free of dirt and rust. Use only our
recommended replacement fasteners.
Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque within 100 miles (160 kilometers) after any
wheel disturbance, such as tire rotation, changing a flat tire or wheel removal. Wheel pilot bore.

Inspect the wheel pilot bore and
mounting surface prior to installation.
Remove any visible corrosion or loose
particles.

Driver Training/EVOC
Replace engine oil and filter as indicated by the information
display and perform services listed in the Extreme Usage
Scheduled Maintenance chart.
As required
Inspect brake pads, rotors, calipers hoses, and service as
required.
Inspect engine oil level.
Inspect vehicle every day
prior to starting training
Set tire pressure. Refer to driver door placard for cold tire
pressure information.
Inspect tire quality for wear.
Set wheel lug nut torque. The cold wheel lug nut torque
is 150 lb.ft (204 Nm). If wheels are torqued while they are
hot (after 15 minutes of EVOC driving), torque may be
checked to hot wheel lug nut torque of
70 lb.ft (95 Nm).
Proper functioning of safety devices (seat belts, no air bag
lights, etc.)
Front differential/axle fluid.
25 hours of training use
Rear differential/axle fluid.
100 hours of training use
Change transmission and transfer case fluids.
Annually
Note: Follow base owner guide direction
for 1,000-mile vehicle break-in prior to using
vehicle for training purposes.
Note: Incorporate vehicle cool-down after
hard driving.
Note: Perform Training / EVOC service
according to the Extreme Usage Scheduled
Maintenance chart.
Note: Use Police Interceptor part numbers
for replacement parts. Engine Idle Hour Meter
Your vehicle may have an idle meter to
indicate how much time the vehicle has
been sitting in park (P) or neutral (N). The
meter is incorporated with the vehicle
odometer. Depressing the odometer-reset
button once displays the trip odometer
(miles [kilometers] following by a "T" for
trip odometer); depressing the
odometer-reset button a second time
displays the idle meter (hours following by
an "H" for hours). The idle meter only
accumulates time while the vehicle is in
park (P) or neutral (N). Displayed time is
cumulative for the vehicle and cannot be
reset to zero. Police vehicles often
