NOISE POLLUTION CONTROL
In order to keep to the federal exteriornoise regulations, your vehicle may beequipped with noise emission items.Depending on your vehicle configuration,it may have all or some of the followingitems:
Air Intake System
Inspect the air cleaner. Do not alter itslocation. Do not alter inlet and outletpiping.
Body
Inspect wheel well splash shields, cabshields and under hood insulation fordeterioration, dislocation and orientation.
Cooling System
•Inspect the fan for blade damage. Ifyou find any damage, replace with therecommended parts. Inspect forfan-to-shroud interference and anydamage to shroud, such as cracks andholes.
•Do not change fan ratio or alter fanspacer dimensions and positions.
•Inspect fan clutch for proper operation.Make sure the fan is disengaged whencooling of the engine is not required.
•Inspect radiator shutters (if equipped)for proper operation. The shuttersshould be open during normaloperating temperatures.
Engine
Valve covers and block covers damp-outengine mechanical noise. If they needreplacing, make sure to replace them withthe recommended parts. Check formechanical isolations.
Transmission Enclosure
Inspect for cracks, holes and tears. Cleanany deposits, such as oil, dirt and stones.
Exhaust System
•Inspect for leaks at various jointconnections and loose clamps.
•Perform a visual inspection for cracksor holes in the muffler and tail pipe.
•Always use the recommendedreplacement parts.

Understanding Your SelectShift™Automatic Transmission
Your vehicle has a SelectShift automatictransmission gearshift lever. SelectShiftautomatic transmission gives you theability to change gears up or down, withouta clutch.
Use the buttons on the shifter to lock orunlock gears and manually select gears.Press the (+) button to upshift or the (–)button to downshift.
6- Speed Transmissions
10-Speed Transmissions
With the gearshift lever in drive (D), pressthe (–) button to activate SelectShift. Theinstrument cluster indicates the availableand selected gears.
All available gears display with the currentgear indicated. Press the (–) button againto lock out gears beginning with the highestgear. For example, press the (–) buttontwice to lock out 6th and 5th gears. Onlythe available gears display, and thetransmission shifts between the availablegears. Press the (+) button to unlock gears.
By moving the gearshift lever from the drive(D) position to the manual (M) position,you could now manually select the gearyou prefer. Only the current gear displays.Press the (+) button or the (–) button toupshift or downshift. If you press the (–)button at a vehicle speed that would causean engine overspeed, the requested gearflashes, then disappears, and thetransmission remains in the current gear.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
INFORMATION
To make sure your vehicle is ready tooperate, conduct a pre-trip inspection atthe beginning of each work period. Followthe steps listed in this section to verify aproper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING: Exercise great cautionwhen working on a vehicle equipped withan automatic fan clutch. The fan startsin motion only after the engine coolantreaches a predetermined temperatureor the refrigerant pressure (if equippedwith air conditioning) reaches apredetermined setting. The fan starts atthis point with no advance warning.Never reach near, or permit objects toprotrude into, the fan blade radius whilethe engine is running as this could resultin vehicle damage, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Do not operate thevehicle if any suspension conditionslisted in the following charts are evident.Loss of steering or suspension couldresult in property damage, personal injuryor death.
WARNING: If a wheel must bechanged, obtain expert tire service help.Mounting and un-mounting of tiresshould only be performed by a qualifiedtechnician using necessary safetyprocedures and equipment, otherwisethe result could be property damage,personal injury or death.
Note:Always make sure you apply theparking brake before starting the engine.
Engine compartment (with engine off)
Use the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the proper operatingrange. See Engine Oil Dipstick (page 227).Engine oil
Look through the plastic reservoir and verify the coolant levelis within the proper operating range. Do not remove thepressure cap until the coolant has cooled. See EngineCoolant Check (page 238).
Engine coolant
Verify that the fluid level is in the proper operating range. SeePower Steering Fluid Check (page 246).Power steering fluid
Remove the master cylinder caps and inspect the fluid level.See Brake Fluid Check (page 245).Brake fluid

Severe Climates
If you drive in extremely cold climates:
•It may be necessary to increase thecoolant concentration above 50%.
•A coolant concentration of 60%provides improved freeze pointprotection.Coolant concentrationsabove 60% decrease the overheatprotection characteristics of thecoolant and may cause enginedamage.
If you drive in extremely hot climates:
•You can decrease the coolantconcentration to 40%.
•Coolant concentrations below 40%decrease the freeze and corrosionprotection characteristics of thecoolant and may cause enginedamage.
Vehicles driven year-round in non-extremeclimates should use prediluted enginecoolant for optimum cooling system andengine protection.
Coolant Change
At specific mileage intervals, as listed inthe scheduled maintenance information,the coolant should be changed. Theinstrument cluster display may display amessage to change coolant at this time.Add prediluted coolant approved to thecorrect specification. See Capacities andSpecifications (page 291).
Engine-driven Cooling Fan (FanClutch)
Your vehicle may have an engine drivencooling fan drive (also called a fan clutch).This fan drive changes the fan speed tomatch the vehicle’s changing cooling airflow requirements. Fan speed, fan noiselevel and fuel consumption all increasebased on the driving conditions thatinclude trailer towing, hill climbing, heavyloads, high speed and high ambienttemperature, individually or in combination.
The fan drive is designed to provide theminimum fan speed (and resultingminimum fan noise and fuel consumption)required to meet the ever changing vehiclecooling air flow requirements. You can hearfan noise increasing and decreasing as theengine power requirements and vehicledriving conditions change as you drive. Thisis to be expected as being normal to theoperation of your vehicle. High levels of fannoise might also be heard when yourengine is first started, and should normallydecrease after driving for a short time.
ENGINE COOLANT CHECK -
7.3L
WARNING: Do not remove thecoolant reservoir cap when the engine ison or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10minutes for the cooling system to cooldown. Cover the coolant reservoir capwith a thick cloth to prevent thepossibility of scalding and slowly removethe cap. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury.
WARNING: Do not put coolant inthe windshield washer reservoir. Ifsprayed on the windshield, coolant couldmake it difficult to see through thewindshield.

Fail-Safe Cooling
Fail-safe cooling allows you to temporarilydrive your vehicle before any incrementalcomponent damage occurs. The fail-safedistance depends on ambienttemperature, vehicle load and terrain.
How Fail-Safe Cooling Works
If the engine begins to overheat, thecoolant temperature gauge moves towardthe red zone:
