Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver , even on short trips. Someone on the road may be a poor driver and cause a collision that includes you. This can happen far away from home or on your own str eet. Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of injuries in a collision.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 1 — Latch Plate Latch Plate T o Buckle 2 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE 35.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
W ARNING! A frayed or torn belt could rip apart in a collision and leave you with no protection. Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays, or loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system.
panel and insert it into the black keyed buckle until there is an audible “click”. For proper seatbelt usage, r efer “Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions” in this section.
W ARNING! • If the black latch and black buckle are not prop- erly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • When reattaching the black latch and black buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
away from your neck. Pr ess the button located on the upper belt guide, and then move it up or down to the position that fits you best. As a guide, if you are shorter than average you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average you will prefer a higher position.
2. Grasp the shoulder portion and pull downward until the entire belt is extracted. 3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound.
BeltAlert 威 will be reactivated if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled for more than 10 seconds and the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Seat Belt Extender If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended, your authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender . This extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough. When it is not requir ed, remove the extender and stor e it.
NOTE: These airbags are certified to the new Federal regulations for Advanced Airbags. The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision.
the second stage determines whether the output force is low , medium, or high. If a low output is sufficient to meet the need, the remaining gas in the inflator is expended. W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to open them manually .
W ARNING! Infants in rear-facing child restraints must NEVER- ride in the front seat of a vehicle with a passenger front airbag unless the airbag is turned off (Regular Cab V ehicles Only). An airbag deployment can cause severe injury or death to infants in that position.
If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center . Phone numbers are provided under ⬙ If Y ou Need Assistance ⬙ in Section 9 of this manual. W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision.
type of collision. Advanced Fr ont Airbags ar e not ex- pected to reduce the risk of injury in r ear , or side collisions. The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Airbag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted. The diagnostics also recor d the nature of the malfunction. W ARNING! Ignoring the Airbag W arning Light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision.
The passenger front airbag is to be turned of f only if the passenger: • is an infant (less than one year old) who must ride in the front seat because ther e is no rear seat, because the rear seat i.
T o T urn On the Passenger Airbag (Regular Cab V ehicles Only) – If Equipped Place the ignition key in the Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch (If Equipped), push the key in and turn counter- clockwise, and remove the key fr om the switch. This will turn on the passenger airbag (if equipped).
Enhanced Accident Response System In the event of an impact causing airbag deployment, if the communication network remains intact, and the power remains intact, depending on the natur e of the event the ORC will determine whether to have the Enhanced Accident Response System perform the follow- ing functions: • Cut off fuel to the engine.
• As the airbags deflate, you may see some smoke-like particles. The particles are a normal by-pr oduct of the process that generates the non-toxic gas used for airbag inflation. These airborne particles may irritate the skin, eyes, nose, or throat.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few minutes between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating.
• A 12 V olt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling. It is contr olled by a built-in thermostat. • A heated intake air system both improves engine starting and reduces the amount of white smoke generated by a warming engine.
6. Check to see that there is oil pr essure. 7. Release the parking brake. Starting Procedure – Engine Manifold Air T emperature Below 66°F (19°C) NOTE: The temperature displayed on the over head console (if equipped) does not necessarily reflect the engine manifold air temperature.
3. After engine start-up, check to see that there is oil pressur e. 4. Allow the engine to idle about three minutes until the manifold heaters have completed the post-heat cycle. 5. Release the parking brake and drive. NOTE: • Engine idle speed will automatically increase to 1,000 RPM at low coolant temperatures to impr ove engine warm-up.
NOTE: Excessive white smoke and poor engine perfor- mance will result if manifold heaters ar e not recycled. 2. Heat generated by the manifold heaters dissipates rapidly in a cold engine.
Starting Fluids W ARNING! Starting fluids or flammable liquids are never to be used in the Cummins 威 diesel engine (see W arning label). Never pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister , air intake piping, or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle.
engine control module. Post-heat operation can r un for several minutes, and then the electrical system and voltmeter needle will stabilize. • The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of the headlamps, interior lamps, and also a noticeable reduction in blower motor speed.
• The engine requir es the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel” . Use of incorrect fuel could r esult in engine and exhaust system damage. Refer to” Starting and Operating/Fuel Requirements” in this manual for more information.
Y our vehicle is equipped with a turbo speed limiter , this feature limits the engine speed to 1,200 RPM when engine coolant temperatures ar e below 70°F (21°C). This feature is designed to pr otect the turbo charger from damage and will only operate in P ARK or NEUTRAL.
NOTE: For EVIC messages related to the vehicle’s exhaust system, refer to “Maintaining Y our V ehicle/ Maintenance Procedur es/Intervention Regeneration Strategy — EVIC Message Process Flow” in this manual.
NOTE: • During engine shut down on vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, it is normal for the diesel engine to resonate heavily for a moment during engine shut off. When the engine is connected to a manual transmission, this resonance causes load gear rattle from the transmission.
Engine Speed Control CAUTION! Prevent overspeeding the engine going downhill. When descending steep grades, use a combination of gears and service brakes to control vehicle/engine speed.
• Up Steep Hills — Select a lower transmission gear , but try and keep the torque converter clutch engaged. • Air Conditioning — T urn it off temporarily . Do Not Operate The Engine W ith Low Oil Pressure When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the minimum oil pressur es required ar e: Idle 700 to 800 RPM .
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the heater cord to a gr ound-fault interrupter protected 1 10–1 15 V olt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire exten- sion cord.
Once the switch is in the ON position and the vehicle is moving faster than 5 mph (8 km/h); the exhaust brake will automatically operate when the driver removes pressur e from the accelerator pedal. Exhaust braking is most effective when the engine RPM is higher .
The purpose of the exhaust brake (engine braking) fea- ture is to supply negative (braking) tor que to the engine. T ypically , the engine braking is used for , but not limited to, vehicle towing applications where vehicle braking can be achieved by the internal engine power , thereby spar- ing the mechanical brakes of the vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Before shifting into any gear , make sure your foot is firmly on the brake pedal. W ARNING! It is dangerous to move the shift lever out of P ARK or NEUTRAL if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in reverse.
then place the shift lever in P ARK position. On four- wheel drive vehicles be sure that the transfer case is in a drive position! W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage.
DRIVE This position provides all forwar d gears, including fourth gear direct and fifth or sixth (if equipped) gear over drive (refer to Over drive Operation in this section).
• the engine coolant has reached normal operating tem- perature; • vehicle speed is above approximately 38 mph (61 km/h) for fifth gear and 50 mph (80 km/h) for sixth gear; • the “TOW HAUL O/D OFF” switch has not been activated; • transmission has reached normal operating temperatur e.
When T o Use “TOW HAUL” and “O/D OFF” Modes When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc., and frequent transmission shifting oc- curs, press the “T OW HAUL O/D OFF” switch once to select TOW HAUL.
W ARNING! Do not use the TOW HAUL feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control, which may cause an accident possi- bly resulting in personal injury or death.
• If the vehicle has not been driven in several days, the first few seconds of operation after shifting the trans- mission into gear may seem sluggish. This is due to the fluid partially draining from the tor que converter into the transmission. This condition is normal and will not cause damage to the transmission.
Shifting T ruck models with manual transmission are equipped with a clutch interlocking ignition system. The clutch pedal must be fully pressed to start the vehicle. Fully press the clutch pedal befor e shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly pr ess the accelerator pedal.
vehicle speeds listed for acceleration. When heavily loaded or pulling a trailer these recommended up-shift speeds may not apply . Maximum Recommended Up-shift Speeds Gear Selec- tion L t o2 2t o3 3t .
Maximum Recommended Downshift Speeds CAUTION! Failure to follow the recommended downshifting speeds may cause the engine to overspeed and/or damage the clutch disc even if the clutch pedal is pressed.
FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE OPERA TION — IF EQUIPPED Manually Shifted T ransfer Case Operating Information/Precautions The transfer case provides four mode positions.
Proper operation of four -wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel. Any differ ence will adversely affect shifting and can cause damage to the transfer case. NOTE: Do not attempt to make a shift while only the front or r ear wheels are spinning.
4H Four-Wheel Drive High Range - This range locks the front and r ear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to r otate at the same speed. Additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only . N Neutral - This range disengages the front and r ear driveshafts from the powertrain.
vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/ disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelera- tor pedal after completing the shift. Apply a constant force when shifting the transfer case lever . 2H or 4H ⇔ 4L W ith the vehicle rolling at 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h), shift the transmission into NEUTRAL.
allow for an aftermarket upfit with a transmission driven PTO (power take of f). The customer will have the ability to operate the PTO in either a “stationary” or “mobile” mode.
T o operate the PTO via a r emote switch the customer must make sure the above conditions ar e met. It is vital for proper operation that the PT O and remote have been installed correctly , paying special attention to ensure the vehicle provided wiring has been connected pr operly .
NOTE: For application specific information with respect to PTO and pump r equirements and additional vehicle information (wiring schematics, preset idle values, en- gine speed limits, and vehicle hardwar e and software requir ements) please refer to the Dodge Body Builders Guide by accessing “www .
W ARNING! On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differential never run the engine with one rear wheel off the ground since the vehicle may drive through the rear wheel remaining on the ground. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. Care should be taken to avoid sudden accelerations when both rear wheels ar e on a slippery surface.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow- ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission/transaxle, axle, etc.) for signs of con- tamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed. The fluid should only be checked if a leak is suspected, abnormal noises are apparent, and/or the system is not functioning as antici- pated.
NOTE: The “Brake W arning Light” will come on and flash to indicate that the parking brake is applied. Y ou must be sure that the parking brake is fully applied before leaving the vehicle. Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the shift lever is in the P ARK position.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Be sure the parking brake is fully disengaged before driving, failure to do so can lead to brake problems due to excessive heating of the rear brakes. When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade.
W ARNING! (Continued) • ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
ABS W arning Light The ABS includes an amber warning light, located in the instrument cluster . When the light is illuminated, the ABS is not functioning. The system reverts to standar d non- anti-lock brakes. W ARNING! Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident.
NOTE: • P (Passenger) - Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designa- tion. Example: P215/65R15 95H. • European-Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

254 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unequal tire pressures from one side of the ve- hicle to the other can cause the vehicle to drift to the right or left. • Always drive with each tire inflated to the recom- mended cold tire inflation pressure. Economy Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard are always “cold tire inflation pr essure.
T ire pr essure may increase fr om 2 to 6 psi (13 to 40 kPa) during operation. DO NOT reduce this normal pr essure build up or your tire pr essure will be too low . T ire Inflation Pressure — 4500/5500 with Steel Carcass Ply T ires This type of tire utilizes steel cor ds in the sidewall.
4500/5500 T ire Inflation 5 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 259.
When adjusting inflation pressur e to a tire and wheel assembly mounted on a vehicle, use a Remote Mount Automatic Inflation Kit or see your authorized dealer .
Radial Ply Tires W ARNING! Combining radial ply tires with other types of tires on your vehicle will cause your vehicle to handle poorly . The instability could cause an accident result- ing in serious injury or death. Always use radial ply tires in sets of four (or six, in case of trucks with dual rear wheels).
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change sus- pension dimensions and performance characteris- tics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
CAUTION! Replacing original tires with tires of a different size may result in false speedometer and odometer read- ings. SUPPLEMENT AL TIRE PRESSURE INFORMA TION — IF EQUIPPED A light load vehicle condition is defined as two passen- gers [150 lbs (68 kg) each] plus 200 lbs (91 kg) of cargo.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Do not drive for a prolonged period on dry pave- ment. • Observe the tire chain manufacturer’s instructions on method of installation, operating speed, and conditions for usage. Always use the lower sug- gested operating speed of the chain manufacturer if different than the speed recommended by the manufacturer .
SNOW TIRES Snow tires should be of the same size and type constr uc- tion as the front tir es. Consult the manufacturer of the snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed requir ement associated with the tire. These tires should always be operated at the vehicle maximum capacity inflation pressur es under any load condition.
Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in Section 8 of this manual for the proper maintenance intervals. Mor e fre- quent rotation is permissible if desir ed. The reasons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to rotation being performed.
The tires used on dual wheel assemblies should be matched for wear to prevent overloading one tir e in a set. T o check if tires ar e even, lay a straight edge across all four tires. The straight edge should touch all the tir es. CAUTION! 4500/5500 Dual Rear T ires have only one approved direction of rotation.
ENGINE RUNA W A Y W ARNING! In case of engine runaway due to flammable fumes from gasoline spills or turbocharger oil leaks being sucked into the engine, do the following to help avoid personal injury and/or vehicle damage: 1. Shut off engine ignition switch.
W ARNING! Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
ADDING FUEL CAUTION! T o avoid fuel spillage and overfilling, do not “top off” the fuel tank after filling. NOTE: • When the fuel nozzle “clicks” or shuts off, the fuel tank is full. • T ighten the gas cap until you hear a “clicking” sound.
W ARNING! • Never have any smoking materials lit in or near the vehicle when the gas cap is removed or the tank filled. • Never add fuel to the vehicle when the engine is running. A void Using Contaminated Fuel Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can cause severe damage to the engine fuel system.
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or pillar .
T ire Size The tire size on the Label r epresents the actual tire size on your vehicle. Replacement tires must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Improper weight distributions can have an adverse ef fect on the way your vehicle steers and handles and the way the brakes operate. CAUTION! Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.
measure GTW is to put your fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. The entire weight of the trailer must be supported by the scale. Gross Combination W eight Rating (GCWR) The GCWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle and trailer when weighed in combination.
T railer Sway Control The trailer sway control is a telescoping link that can be installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associated with the telescoping motion to dampen any unwanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.
W eight-distributing systems may not be compatible with surge brake couplers. Consult with your hitch and trailer manufacturer or an authorized r ecreational vehicle dealer for additional information.
T railer Hitch Classification Definitions Class Max. T railer Hitch Industry Standards Class I - Light Duty 2,000 lbs (907 kg) Class II - Medium Duty 3,500 lbs (1587 kg) Class III - Heavy Duty 5,000 l.
Never exceed the maximum tongue weight stamped on your bumper or trailer hitch. Consider the following items when computing the weight on the rear axle of the vehicle: • The tongue weight of the trailer . • The weight of any other type of cargo or equipment put in or on your vehicle.
CAUTION! (Continued) • During the first 500 miles (805 km) of trailer towing, limit your speed to 50 mph (80 km/h). Perform the maintenance listed in Section 8 of this manual. When towing a trailer , never exceed the GA WR, or GCWR, ratings. W ARNING! Improper towing can lead to an injury accident.
W ARNING! (Continued) • V ehicles with trailers should not be parked on a grade. When parking, apply the parking brake on the tow vehicle. Put the tow vehicle automatic transmission in P ARK. With four -wheel drive ve- hicles, make sure the transfer case is not in NEU- TRAL.
− When replacing tir es, refer to “T ires – General Infor - mation” in this section. Replacing tires with a higher load carrying capacity will not increase the vehicle’s GVWR and GA WR limits.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T owing any trailer will increase your stopping distance. When towing you should allow for addi- tional space between your vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.

REPLACEMENT P ARTS Use of genuine MOP AR 威 parts for normal/scheduled maintenance and repairs is highly r ecommended to en- sure the designed performance. Damage or failur es caused by the use of non-MOP AR 威 parts for maintenance and repairs will not be cover ed by the manufacturer’s warranty .
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES The pages that follow contain the required maintenance services determined by the engineers who designed your vehicle. Besides those maintenance items specified in the fixed maintenance schedule, there ar e other components which may requir e servicing or replacement in the future.
parked overnight. When checking oil after operating the engine, first ensure the engine is at full operating tem- perature, then wait for 30 minutes after engine shutdown to check the oil. Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings.
Engine Oil Selection For best performance and maximum protection under all types of operating conditions, the manufacturer only recommends engine oils that ar e API CJ-4 certified and meet the requir ements of Chrysler Group LLC. Use MOP AR 威 or an equivalent oil meeting Chrysler Material Standard MS-10902.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) Use SAE 15W -40 engine oil that meets Chrysler Materials Standard MS-10902 and the API CJ-4 engine oil category . In ambient temperatures below 0°F (-18°C), SAE 5W -40 synthetic engine oil that meets Chrysler Materials Stan- dard MS-10902 and the API CJ-4 engine oil category is requir ed.
Synthetic Engine Oils Y ou may use synthetic engine oils provided the r ecom- mended oil quality requir ements are met, and the recom- mended maintenance intervals for oil and filter changes are followed.
The condition of the air cleaner filter is monitored by the Engine Control Module. The “SER VICE AIR FIL TER” message will display in the Electronic V ehicle Informa- tion Center (EVIC) when service is requir ed. Refer to “Electronic V ehicle Information Center” in this manual.
exhaust aftertreatment damage. This includes the use of non-approved air filters. Use only MOP AR 威 approved air filters or equivalent. A visual inspection of the air cleaner filter element is never recommended under normal cir cumstances.
CAUTION! If the “W ater In Fuel Indicator Light” remains on, DO NOT ST AR T the engine before you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage.
NOTE: The fuel/water separator drain valve is located on the bottom of the fuel filter housing. If more than a couple ounces/milliliters of fuel have been drained, follow the directions for “Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter . There is a possibility debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action. It is best to install the filter dry and allow the in-tank lift pump to prime the fuel system.
Priming If The Engine Has Run Out Of Fuel W ARNING! Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death. 1. Add a substantial amount of fuel to the tank, approxi- mately 5 to 10 gal (19L to 38L).
CAUTION! Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system. NOTE: • A maximum blend of 5% biodiesel, meeting ASTM specification D-6751 may be used with your Cum- mins 威 diesel engine.
Refer to the following messages that may be displayed on your Electronic V ehicle Information Center (EVIC): W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your exhaust system.
By simply driving your vehicle at highway speeds for as little as 45 minutes, you can remedy the condition in the particulate filter system and allow your Cummins 威 diesel engine and exhaust after-tr eatment system to remove the trapped PM and restor e the system to normal operating condition.
CAUTION! See your authorized dealer , as damage to the exhaust system could occur soon with continued operation. Maintenance-Free Batteries The top of the maintenance-free batteries ar e perma- nently sealed. Y ou will never have to add water , nor is periodic maintenance requir ed.
Battery Blanket Usage A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the battery temperature decr eases to 0°F (-18°). For the same de- crease in temperatur e, the engine requires twice as much power to crank at the same RPM. The use of 120 V olt AC powered battery blankets will gr eatly increase starting capability at low temperatures.
If the cap is sealing properly , the engine coolant (anti- freeze) will begin to drain fr om the coolant recovery bottle. DO NOT REMOVE THE COOLANT PRESSURE CAP WHEN THE COOLING SYSTEM IS HOT . Cooling System – Drain, Flush and Refill Refer to the “Maintenance Schedule” in this manual for the proper maintenance intervals.
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant (antifreeze) that allows extended maintenance intervals. This engine coolant (antifreeze) can be used up to 5 Y ears or 105,000 miles (168 000 km) before replace- ment.
Cooling System Pressure Cap The cap must be fully tightened to prevent loss of engine coolant (antifreeze), and to ensur e that engine coolant (antifreeze) will r eturn to the radiator from the coolant recovery bottle. The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces.
engine cold, the level of the engine coolant (antifreeze) in the coolant recovery bottle should be between the ranges indicated on the bottle. The radiator normally remains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for engine coolant (antifreeze) fr eeze point or replacing en- gine coolant (antifreeze).
• Maintain engine coolant (antifreeze) concentration at 50% HOA T engine coolant (antifreeze) (minimum) and distilled water for proper corr osion protection of your engine, which contains aluminum components. • Make sure that the radiator and coolant r ecovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstr ucted.
Brake System Brake Master Cylinder – Brake Fluid Level Check The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked when performing under the hood service, or immedi- ately if the “Brake System W arning Light” indicates system failure. The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic reservoir .
W ARNING! (Continued) • T o avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container . Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
Fluid Level Check This fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug. The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with the vehicle in a level position. Manual T ransmission – If Equipped Lubricant Selection Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in this section for the correct fluid type.
4. Place the shift lever momentarily into each gear posi- tion ending with the shift lever in P ARK. Make sure the engine is running at idle speed. 5. Remove the dipstick and determine if the fluid is hot or cold. Hot fluid is approximately 160°F to 175°F (70°C to 82°C).
CAUTION! Be aware that if the fluid level is below 50°F (10°C), it may not register on the dipstick. Do not add fluid until the temperature is elevated enough to produce a accurate reading.
Required Maintenance For Noise Control Systems The following maintenance services must be performed every six months or 7,500 miles (12 000 km) whichever comes first, to assure pr oper operation of the noise control systems. In addition, inspection and service should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
replacement, of any device or element of design incorpo- rated into any new vehicle for the purpose of noise control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the vehicle after such device or element of design has been removed or render ed inoperative by any person.
