Engine Coolant Temperature
If it illuminates when your vehicleis moving, this indicates that theengine is overheating. Stop yourvehicle as soon as it is safe to do so andswitch the engine off. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible. See EngineCoolant Check (page 238).idk
Engine Oil Pressure
If it illuminates with the enginerunning, or when you are driving,this indicates a malfunction.Stop your vehicle as soon as it is safe todo so and switch off the engine. Check theengine oil level.
Note:Do not resume your journey if itilluminates despite the level being correct.Have the system checked as soon aspossible.

High Beam
Illuminates when you switch onthe high beam headlamps. Itflashes when you use theheadlamp flasher.
Hydromax
If the light illuminates andremains on when the key is in theon position or the engine isrunning, this indicates inadequate hydraulicbooster pressure or reserve pump systemfailure. Stop the vehicle as soon aspossible and have your vehicle checked.
Low Fuel Level
Illuminates when the fuel levelis low or the fuel tank is nearlyempty. Refuel as soon aspossible.
Parking Brake Warning
Briefly illuminates when youswitch the ignition to the onposition, with the engine off. Italso illuminates when you apply theparking brake. If the park brake lamp doesnot illuminate at these times, seekimmediate service.

1.When your vehicle has stopped, shiftinto neutral (N) or park (P).
2.Apply the parking brake and switch theignition off.
3.Turn the fuel filler capcounterclockwise and remove it.
4.Refuel your vehicle as required.
5.Replace the fuel filler cap, turn itclockwise until you feel a strongresistance.
If the fuel cap warning lamp or a warningmessage appears in the instrument cluster,you may not have installed the fuel fillercap correctly.
If the fuel cap warning lamp remains on,at the next opportunity, safely pull off ofthe road, remove the fuel filler cap, alignthe cap properly and reinstall it. The checkfuel cap warning lamp or warning messagemay not reset immediately. It may takeseveral driving cycles for the indicators toturn off. A driving cycle consists of anengine start-up (after four or more hourswith the engine off) followed by normalcity and highway driving.
FUEL CONSUMPTION
The advertised capacity is the maximumamount of fuel that you can add to the fueltank after running out of fuel. Included inthe advertised capacity is an emptyreserve. The empty reserve is anunspecified amount of fuel that remainsin the fuel tank when the fuel gaugeindicates empty.
Note:The amount of fuel in the emptyreserve varies and should not be relied uponto increase driving range.
Filling the Fuel Tank
For consistent results when refueling:
•Turn the ignition off before fueling; aninaccurate reading results if the engineis left running.
•Use the same fill rate(low-medium-high) each time the tankis filled.
•Allow no more than one automaticshut-off when refueling.
Results are most accurate when the fillingmethod is consistent.
Calculating Fuel Economy
Do not measure fuel economy during thefirst 1,000 mi (1,600 km) of driving (this isyour engine’s break-in period). A moreaccurate measurement is obtained after2,000 mi (3,200 km) to 3,000 mi(4,800 km). Also, fuel expense, frequencyof fill ups or fuel gauge readings are notaccurate ways to measure fuel economy.
1.Fill the fuel tank completely and recordthe initial odometer reading.
2.Each time you fill the fuel tank, recordthe amount of fuel added.
3.After at least three fill ups, fill the fueltank and record the current odometerreading.
4.Subtract your initial odometer readingfrom the current odometer reading.
To calculate L/100 km (liters per 100kilometers) fuel consumption, multiply theliters used by 100, then divide by kilometerstraveled. To calculate MPG (miles pergallon) fuel consumption, divide milestraveled by gallons used.

GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these ratingsby overloading can cause componentfailure resulting in property damage,personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubricationoxidation increases and shortens the lifeof the lubricant and seals, requiring axlelubrication changes to become morefrequent to preserve the axle. Do notconsistently run extreme pressure (EP)lubricants above 250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions
WARNING: When operating aloaded vehicle, the driver must keep alladjustable axles on the ground at alltimes, supporting their share of thevehicle’s load. Failure to do so canoverload other axles, tires, wheels,springs, steering components, brakesand frames, resulting in early componentfailure, loss of vehicle control, possibleproperty damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,performing axle conversions. However, weunderstand that, on occasion, others installaftermarket add-on axles on the truckchassis that allow operator control forweight transfer from other axles (such asair lift axles).
2-SPEED REAR AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Never shift atwo-speed axle when descending asteep grade as this may cause loss ofvehicle control and result in personalinjury.
Note:Do not shift between ranges whenthe speed control is on.
A two-speed rear axle allows the driver toselect a low range for greater pulling powerand a high range for greater road speedand fuel economy. You can also use theseranges to provide extra steps betweentransmission shifts when driving on steepgrades or fuel economy may be factors.
Axle Shifting
Note:Do not shift the axle to LOW whenyour vehicle is moving. Use LOW when youdrive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe gradeor in congested traffic. Use HIGH for allnormal driving conditions with a lightlyloaded or partially loaded vehicle.
Note:The axle is set to HIGH by default.
To shift the axle between HIGH and LOWwith the vehicle stopped, place thetransmission in position N, then press andhold the button for two seconds.
