WARNING! (Continued)
• Care should always be exercised when operating a vehicle with unrestrained cargo. Vehicle speeds may need to be reduced. Severe turns or rough roads may cause shifting or bouncing of the cargo that may result in vehicle damage. If wide build- ing materials are to be frequently carried, the installation of a support is recommended. This will restrain the cargo and transfer the load to the pickup box floor. • If you wish to carry more than 600 lbs (272 kg) of material suspended above the wheelhouse, sup- ports must be installed to transfer the weight of the load to the pickup box floor or vehicle damage may result. The use of proper supports will permit loading up to the rated payload. • Unrestrained cargo may be thrown forward in an
accident causing serious or fatal injury.
178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE
There are stampings in the sheet metal on the inner side bulkheads of the box in front of and behind both wheel housings. Place wooden boards across the box from side to side to create separate load compartments in the pickup box. There are four tie-down cleats bolted to the lower sides of the pickup box that can sustain loads up to 1000 lbs (450 kg) total.
SLIDE-IN CAMPERS
Camper Applications Certain truck models are not recommended for slide-in campers. To determine if your vehicle is excluded, please refer to the “Consumer Information Truck-Camper Load- ing” document available from your authorized dealer. For safety reasons, follow all instructions in this impor- tant document.
NOTE: When a cap or pickup camper is installed on a vehicle, an alternate Center High-Mounted Stop Light (CHMSL) must be provided.
EASY-OFF TAILGATE Tailgate removal is sometimes necessary for loading and can be easily removed by following these steps: 1. Unlatch the tailgate and open it enough so that there is some slack in the support cables. 2. Remove the support cables by releasing the locking tang and rotating them away from the box. Once the cables are free, move to the right side of the tailgate.
UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 179
NOTE: • Do not carry the tailgate loose in the truck pickup box. • Dual rear wheel pickup models require properly spaced rear clearance lights. If such a vehicle is oper- ated without a tailgate, suitable lights must be installed.
WARNING!
To avoid inhaling carbon monoxide, which is deadly, the exhaust system on vehicles equipped with “Cap or Slide-In Campers” should extend beyond the overhanging camper compartment and be free of leaks.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION
1. Check Gauges – Premium Cluster Only
This light illuminates when the Voltmeter, Engine Oil Pressure or Engine Coolant Temperature gauges indicate a reading either too high or too low. Examine the gauges carefully, and follow the instructions contained below for each indicated problem. NOTE: When the ignition switch is turned to OFF, the Fuel Gauge, Voltmeter, Oil Pressure and Engine Coolant Temperature gauges may not show accurate readings. When the engine is not running, turn the ignition switch to ON to obtain accurate readings. 2. Voltmeter
When the engine is running, the gauge indicates the electrical system voltage. The pointer should stay within the normal range if the battery is charged. If the pointer moves to either extreme left or right and remains there during normal driving, the electrical sys- tem should be serviced.
NOTE: • If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of the gauge, the “Check Gauges” indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. • The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation at vari- ous engine temperatures. This cycling operation is caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the cycling operation is controlled by the engine control module. Post-heat operation can run for sev- eral minutes, and then the electrical system and volt- meter needle will stabilize.
3. Turn Signal Indicators
The arrow will flash with the exterior turn signal when the turn signal lever is operated.
If the vehicle electronics sense that the vehicle has traveled about 1 mile (1.6 km) with the turn signals on, a
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189
continuous chime will sound to alert you to turn the signals off. If either indicator flashes at a rapid rate, check for a defective outside light bulb. 4. Tachometer The Tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.
during starting, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the system inspected by an authorized dealer as soon as possible. 6. High Beam Indicator
This indicator shows that headlights are on high beam.
CAUTION!
Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer at high RPM for extended periods. Engine damage may occur.
5. Airbag Warning Light
This light turns on and remains on for seven seconds as a bulb check when the ignition switch is first turned ON. If the light is not on
7. Seat Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition switch is first turned ON, this light will turn on for five to eight seconds as a bulb check. During the bulb check, if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, a chime will sound. After the bulb check or when driving, if the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Reminder Light will illuminate and the chime will sound. Refer to “Occupant Restraints” in Section 2 for more information. 8. Speedometer The Speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour (mph/kph).
190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
9. Oil Pressure Gauge — Premium Cluster Only
The pointer should always indicate some oil pres- sure when the engine is running. A continuous high or low reading, under normal driving conditions, may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immedi- ate service should be obtained from an authorized dealer. If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of NOTE: the gauge, the “Check Gauges” indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. 10. Transfer Case Position This display indicator shows the transfer case position selection. For additional information refer to “4-Wheel Drive Op- eration” in section 5 of this manual.
11. TOW HAUL
The TOW HAUL button is located at the end of the gear shift lever. This light will illuminate when the TOW HAUL OD/OFF button is pushed once.
12. OD/OFF The OD/OFF button is located at the end of the gear shift lever. This light will illuminate when the TOW HAUL OD/OFF button is pushed twice. 13. Temperature Gauge
The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem- perature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operat-
ing satisfactorily. The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera- ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
CAUTION!
WARNING!
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could damage your vehicle. If temperature gauge reads “H” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until the pointer drops back into the normal range. If the pointer remains on the “H” and you hear continuous chimes, turn the engine off immediately, and call an authorized deal- ership for service.
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or others could be badly burned by steam or boiling coolant. You may want to call an authorized dealer- ship for service if your vehicle overheats. If you decide to look under the hood yourself, see Section 7
of this manual. Follow the warnings under the Cool- ing System Pressure Cap paragraph.14. Vehicle Security Light — If Equipped
This light will flash at a fast rate for approxi- mately 15 seconds, when the vehicle security alarm is arming, and then will flash slowly until the vehicle is disarmed.
192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
15. Shift Lever Indicator (Automatic Transmission Only) This display indicator shows the automatic transmission shift lever selection. NOTE: You must apply the brakes before shifting from PARK. 16. Odometer/Trip Odometer The odometer shows the total distance the vehicle has been driven. U.S. federal regulations require that upon transfer of vehicle ownership, the seller certify to the purchaser the correct mileage that the vehicle has been driven. Therefore, if the odometer reading is changed during repair or replacement, be sure to keep a record of the reading before and after the service so that the correct mileage can be determined. The two trip odometers show individual trip mileage. To switch from odometer to trip odometers, press and release the Trip Odometer button.
To reset a trip odometer, display the desired trip odom- eter to be reset then push and hold the button until the display resets (approximately two seconds). Vehicle Warning Messages When the appropriate conditions exist, messages such as “door” (indicates that a door(s) may be ajar), “hood” (if the hood is open or ajar, on vehicles with remote start), “gASCAP” (indicates that your gas cap is possibly loose or damaged), “LoW tirE” (indicates low tire pressure), CHANgE OIL” (indicates that the engine oil should be change), “LoWASH” (low washer fluid), “ESPOFF” (in- dicates that ESP is turned off), and “noFUSE” (indicates that the IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated Power Module), will display in the odometer. NOTE: There is also an engine hour function. This indicates the total number of hours the engine has been running. To display the engine hours perform the follow- ing: Place the ignition in RUN, but do not start the
engine. With the odometer value displayed, hold the trip button down for a period of six seconds. The odometer will change to trip value first, then it will display the engine hour value. The engine hours will be displayed for a period of 30 seconds until the ignition is turned OFF or the engine is started. CHANgE OIL Message Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change indicator system. The “CHANgE OIL” message will flash in the instrument cluster odometer for approximately 12 seconds after a single chime has sounded to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil change indicator system is duty cycle based, which means the engine oil change interval may fluctuate dependent upon your personal driving style. Unless reset, this message will continue to display each time you turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. To turn off the message temporarily, press and
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 193
release the Trip Odometer button on the instrument cluster. To reset the oil change indicator system (after performing the scheduled maintenance), refer to the following procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Do not start the engine). 2. Fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within 10 seconds. 3. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF/LOCK position. If the indicator message illuminates when you NOTE: start the engine, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary repeat this procedure. 17. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped
This indicator will illuminate when the front fog lights are on.
194 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
18. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)
The Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) is part of an onboard diagnostic system, called OBD II, that monitors engine and automatic transmission con- trol systems. The light will illuminate when the key is in the ON position, before engine start. If the bulb does not come on when turning the key from OFF to ON, have the condition checked promptly. Certain conditions such as a loose or missing gas cap, poor fuel quality, etc., may illuminate the MIL after engine start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on through several of your typical driving cycles. In most situations, the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing. If the MIL flashes when the engine is running, serious conditions may exist that could lead to immediate loss of power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle should be serviced as soon as possible if this occurs.
19. Brake Warning Light
This light monitors various brake functions, including brake fluid level and parking brake application. If the brake light turns on, it may indicate that the parking brake is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is a problem with the anti-lock brake system reservoir. If the light remains on when the parking brake has been disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Program (ESP) sys- tem. In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capac- ity in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has dropped below a specified level. The light will remain on until the cause is corrected. NOTE: The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering maneuvers, which change fluid level condi- tions. The vehicle should have service performed, and the brake fluid level checked. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is neces- sary.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 195
WARNING!
Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have an accident. Have the vehicle checked immediately.
Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate repair to the ABS system is required. Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the ON position. The light should illuminate for approxi- mately two seconds. The light should then turn off unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
196 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is applied with the ignition switch in the ON position. NOTE: This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It does not show the degree of brake application. 20. Anti-Lock Brake (ABS) Light
This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). The light will turn on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position and may stay on for as long as four seconds.
If the ABS light remains on or turns on while driving, it indicates that the Anti-Lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. However, the conventional brake system will continue to operate normally if the BRAKE warning light is not on. If the ABS light is on, the brake system should be serviced as soon as possible to restore the benefits of Anti-Lock brakes. If the ABS light does not turn on when the Ignition switch is turned to the ON position, have the light inspected by an authorized dealer.
21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Light
This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) system. If a problem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. Cycle the ignition key when the vehicle has completely stopped and the shift lever is placed in the PARK position. The light should turn off. If the light remains lit with the engine running, your vehicle will usually be drivable; however, see an authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, imme- diate service is required and you may experience reduced performance, an elevated/rough idle or engine stall and your vehicle may require towing. The light will come on when the ignition is first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an autho- rized dealer.
22. Cargo Light
The Cargo Lamp light will illuminate when the Cargo Lamp is activated by pressing the Cargo Light Button on the headlight switch.
23. SERV 4WD Indicator
The 4WD indicator will be illuminated when- ever the 4WD mode is engaged for either the manual or electric shift 4WD systems. The SERV 4WD indicator monitors the electric shift 4WD system. If the SERV 4WD light stays on or comes on during driving, it means that the 4WD system is not functioning properly and that service is required. 24. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) / Brake Assist System (BAS) Warning Lamp – If Equipped
The malfunction light for the Electronic Stabil- ity Program (ESP) is combined with Brake Assist System (BAS). The yellow ESP/BAS warning lamp is in the instrument cluster it
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 197
comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, it should go out with the engine running. If the ESP/BAS warning lamp comes on continuously with the engine running, a malfunction has been detected in either the ESP or the BAS system. If this light remains on after several ignition cycles, and the vehicle has been driven several miles at speeds greater than 30 mph (48 km/h), see an authorized dealer as soon as possible. NOTE: The ESP control system will make buzzing or clicking sounds when it is actively operating. 25. Tire Pressure Monitoring Telltale Light — If Equipped
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly, when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the
198 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illumi- nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subse- quent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the sys- tem may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle, to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the original equipment tires and wheels. TPMS pressures and warning have been established for the tire size equipped on your vehicle. Undesirable system opera- tion or sensor damage may result when using re- placement equipment that is not of the same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket wheels can cause sensor damage. Do not use tire sealant from a can, or balance beads if your vehicle is equipped with a TPMS, as damage to the sensors may result.
26. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) Indicator Light/ Traction Control System (TCS) Indicator Light — If Equipped
If this indicator light flashes during accelera- tion, apply as little throttle as possible. While driving, ease up on the accelerator. Adapt your
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 199
speed and driving to the prevailing road conditions, and do not switch off the Electronic Stability Program (ESP), or Traction Control System (TCS). 27. Transmission Temperature Indicator (Automatic Transmissions Only)
This light indicates that there is excessive trans- mission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road operation). If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light goes off. 28. Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the trip odometer reading when in trip mode.

29. Fuel Gauge Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. 30. Low Fuel Light
When the fuel level drops to 1/16 tank, the fuel symbol will light and a single chime will sound.
If your vehicle is equipped with an overhead NOTE: console module (CMTC), it is possible for DTE to display “LO FUEL” before the low fuel warning light turns on in the instrument cluster. This could occur because the low fuel warning is set to a specified fuel tank volume and DTE is an estimated distance calculation based on vehicle fuel economy and remaining fuel tank volume. Vehicle fuel tank volumes are as follows: • 26 gal (98 L) - 1500 short box models • 34 gal (128 L) - 1500/2500/3500 short box models • 35 gal (132 L) - 1500/2500/3500 long box models
31. CRUISE Indicator
This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned on. 32. Engine Temperature Warning Light
This light warns of an overheated engine condi- tion. As temperatures rise and the gauge ap- proaches H , this indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound after reaching a set threshold. Further overheating will cause the temperature gauge to pass H , the indicator will continuously flash and a continuous chime will occur until the engine is allowed to cool. If the light turns on while driving, safely pull over and stop the vehicle. If the A/C system is on, turn it off. Also, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and idle the ve- hicle. If the temperature reading does not return to normal, turn the engine off immediately and call for service. Refer to “If Your Engine Overheats” in Section 6
for more information.33. Charging System Light
This light shows the status of the electrical charg- ing system. The light should come on when the ignition switch is first turned ON and remain on briefly as a bulb check. If the light stays on or comes on while driving, turn off some of the vehicle’s non-essential electrical devices or increase engine speed (if at idle). If the charging system light remains on, it means that the vehicle is experiencing a problem with the charging system. Obtain SERVICE IMMEDIATELY. See an autho- rized dealer. 34. Oil Pressure Warning Light
This light indicates low engine oil pressure. The light should turn on momentarily when the engine is started. If the light turns on while driving, stop the vehicle and shut off the engine as soon as possible. A chime will sound for four minutes when this light turns on.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 201
Do not operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected. This light does not indicate how much oil is in the engine. The engine oil level must be checked under the hood.
ELECTRONIC DIGITAL CLOCK The clock and radio each use the display panel built into the radio. A digital readout shows the frequency and/or time in hours and minutes (depending on your radio model) whenever the ignition switch is in the ON or ACC position. When the ignition switch is in the OFF position, or when the radio frequency is being displayed, time keeping is accurately maintained.

Notes On Playing MP3 Files The radio can play MP3 files, however, acceptable MP3
file recording media and formats are limited. When writing MP3 files, pay attention to the following restric- tions. Supported Media (Disc Types) The MP3 file recording media supported by the radio are CD-ROM, CD-R and CD-RW. Supported Medium Formats (File Systems) The medium formats supported by the radio are ISO 9660
Level 1 and Level 2 and includes the Joliet extension. When reading discs recorded using formats other than ISO 9660 Level 1 and Level 2, the radio may fail to read files properly and may be unable to play the file nor- mally. UDF and Apple HFS formats are not supported.212 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
The radio uses the following limits for file systems: • Maximum number of directory levels: 15
• Maximum number of files: 255
• Maximum number of folders: 100
• Maximum number of characters in file/folder names: • Level 1: 12 (including a separator ⬙.⬙ and a • Level 2: 31 (including a separator3-character extension)

3-character extension)
Multisession disc formats are supported by the radio. Multisession discs may contain combinations of normal CD audio tracks and computer files (including MP3 files). Discs created with an option such as ⬙keep disc open after writing⬙ are most likely multisession discs. The use of multisession for CD audio or MP3 playback may result in longer disc loading times.
Supported MP3 File Formats The radio will recognize only files with the *.mp3 exten- sion as MP3 files. Non-MP3 files named with the *.mp3
extension may cause playback problems. The radio is designed to recognize the file as an invalid MP3 and will not play the file. When using the MP3 encoder to compress audio data to an MP3 file, the bit rate and sampling frequencies in the following table are supported. In addition, variable bit rates (VBR) are also supported. The majority of MP3 files use a 44.1 kHz sampling rate and a 192, 160, 128, 96 or VBR bit rates.MPEG
