Courtesy and dome lights are turned on when the front doors are opened, when the dimmer control (rotating wheel on the right side of the switch) is rotated to the upward detent position, or if equipped, when the UN- LOCK button is pressed on the key fob. When a door is open and the interior lights are on, rotating the dimmer control all the way down to the OFF detent will cause all the interior lights to go out. This is also known as the 9Party9 mode because it allows the doors to stay open for extended periods of time without discharging the vehi- cle’s battery. The brightness of the instrument panel lighting can be regulated by rotating the dimmer control up (brighter) or down (dimmer). When the headlights are ON you can supplement the brightness of the odometer, trip odom- eter, radio and overhead console by rotating the control up until you hear a click. This feature is termed the “Parade” mode and is useful when headlights are re- quired during the day.

Mega Cabt/Quad Cabt models may have an optional switched dome lamp that may be operated by pressing the lens. Battery Saver To protect the life of your vehicle’s battery, load shedding is provided for both the interior and exterior lights. If the ignition is OFF and any door is left ajar for 10
minutes or the dimmer control is rotated upwards for 10
minutes, the interior lights will automatically turn off. If the headlamps remain on while the ignition is cycled OFF, the exterior lights will automatically turn off after eight minutes. If the headlamps are turned on and left on for eight minutes while the ignition is OFF, the exterior lights will automatically turn off. NOTE: Battery saver mode is cancelled if the ignition is ON.

Headlamp Delay To aid in your exit, your vehicle is equipped with a headlamp delay that will leave the headlamps on for 90
seconds. This delay is initiated when the ignition is turned OFF while the headlamp switch is ON, and then the headlamp switch is cycled OFF. Headlamp delay can be cancelled by either turning the headlamp switch ON then OFF, or by turning the ignition ON. Headlights, Parking Lights, Panel Lights

When the headlight switch is rotated to the first position, the parking lights, taillights, side marker lights, license plate light and instrument panel lights are all turned on. The headlights will turn ON when the switch is rotated to the second position.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 131

Light Switch Rotation

Your vehicle is equipped with plastic headlight lenses that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and therefore different lens cleaning procedures must be followed.

132 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

To minimize the possibility of scratching the lenses and reducing light output, avoid wiping with a dry cloth. To remove road dirt, wash with a mild soap solution fol- lowed by rinsing. Do not use abrasive cleaning components, solvents, steel wool or other abrasive materials to clean the lenses. Daytime Running Lights (Canada Only and Fleet Vehicles) The headlights on your vehicle will illuminate when the engine is started and the transmission is in any gear except PARK. This provides a constant 9Lights ON9
condition until the ignition is turned OFF. The lights illuminate at less than 50% of normal intensity. If the parking brake is applied, the Daytime Running Lights (DRL) will turn OFF. Also, if a turn signal is activated, the DRL lamp on the same side of the vehicle will turn off for the duration of the turn signal activation. Once the turn signal is no longer active, the DRL lamp will illuminate.

Lights-on Reminder If the headlights, parking lights, or cargo lights are left on after the ignition is turned OFF, a chime will sound when the driver’s door is opened. Fog Lights — If Equipped

The fog lights are turned ON by placing the headlight rotary control in the parking light or headlight position and pushing in the headlight rotary control. The fog lights will operate only when the parking lights are on or when the vehicle headlights are on low beam. An indicator light located in the instrument cluster will illuminate when the fog lights are on. The fog lights will turn off when the switch is pushed a second time, when the headlight switch is rotated to the OFF position, or the high beam is selected.

Cargo Light — If Equipped

Windshield Wiper / Washer Switch

136 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

The wipers and washers are operated by a switch in the multifunction control lever. Turn the end of the handle to select the desired wiper speed. Intermittent Wiper System The intermittent feature of this system was designed for use when weather conditions make a single wiping cycle, with a variable pause between cycles, desirable. For maximum delay between cycles, rotate the control knob into the upper end of the delay range. The delay interval decreases as you rotate the knob until it enters the LOW continual speed position. The delay can be regulated from a maximum of about 15 seconds between cycles, to a cycle every two seconds. The delay intervals will double in duration when the vehicle speed is 10 mph (16 km/h) or less.

WARNING!

Sudden loss of visibility through the windshield could lead to an accident. You might not see other vehicles or other obstacles. To avoid sudden icing of the windshield during freezing weather, warm the windshield with the defroster before and during windshield washer use.

Windshield Washers To use the washer, push in on the washer knob on the end of the multifunction control lever and hold while spray is desired. If the washer knob is depressed while in the delay range, the wiper will operate for several seconds after the washer knob is released. It will then resume the intermittent interval previously selected. If the washer knob is pushed for a period greater than one second

while in the OFF position, the wiper will wipe approxi- mately three wipes after the wash knob is released. To prevent freeze-up of your windshield washer system in cold weather, select a solution or mixture that meets or exceeds the temperature range of your climate. This rating information can be found on most washer fluid containers.

TILT STEERING COLUMN To tilt the column, pull rearward on the lever below the turn signal control and move the wheel up or down, as desired. Push the lever forward to lock the column firmly in place.

Release the accelerator and the vehicle will operate at the selected speed.

To Deactivate A soft tap on the brake pedal, normal braking, clutch pressure while slowing the vehicle, or pressing the CAN- CEL button will deactivate speed control without erasing the memory. Pushing the ON/OFF button to the OFF position or turning off the ignition erases the memory.

WARNING!

Leaving the speed control ON when not in use is dangerous. You could accidentally set the system to cause it to go faster than you want. You could lose control and have an accident. Always leave the sys- tem OFF when you aren’t using it.

To Resume Speed To resume a previously set speed, push and release the RESUME button. Resume can be used at any speed above 30 mph (50 km/h). To Vary The Speed Setting When the speed control is on, speed can be increased by pressing and holding the RESUME/ACCEL button. When the button is released, a new set speed will be established. Tapping the RESUME/ACCEL button once will result in a 2 mph (3 km/h) speed increase. Each time the button is tapped, speed increases so that tapping the button three times will increase speed by 6 mph (10 km/h), etc. Tapping the DECEL button once will result in a 1 mph (2
km/h) speed decrease. Each time the button is tapped, speed will decrease. For example, tapping the button three times will decrease the speed by 3 mph (5 km/h), etc.

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 141

To decrease speed while the speed control is on, press and hold the DECEL button. Release the button when the desired speed is reached, and the new speed will be set. To Accelerate For Passing Depress the accelerator as you would normally. When the pedal is released, the vehicle will return to the set speed. NOTE: When driving uphill, at elevations above 2,000
ft. (610 meters), or when the vehicle is heavily loaded (especially when towing), the vehicle may slow below the SET speed. If the vehicle speed drops below 35 mph (56 km/h), the speed control will automatically disen- gage. If this happens, you can push down on the accel- erator pedal to maintain the desired speed. Vehicles equipped with a 6–speed manual transmission should be operated in 4th or 5th gear under the above conditions.

142 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

HomeLinkt Buttons

NOTE: HomeLinkt is disabled when the Vehicle Secu- rity Alarm is active.

WARNING!

Your motorized door or gate will open and close while you are training the Universal Transceiver. Do not train the transceiver if people or pets are in the path of the door or gate. Only use this transceiver with a garage door opener that has a “stop and reverse” feature as required by federal safety standards. This includes most garage door opener models manufactured after 1982. Do not use a garage door opener without these safety features. Call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for safety information or assistance.

WARNING!

Vehicle exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a danger- ous gas. Do not run your vehicle in the garage while training the transceiver. Exhaust gas can cause seri- ous injury or death.

Programming HomeLinkT

Before You Begin If you have not trained any of the HomeLinkt buttons, erase all channels before you begin training. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds. The EVIC will display “CLEARING CHAN- NELS.” Release the buttons when the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.”

UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE 153

It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter of the device being programmed to HomeLinkt for more efficient training and accurate transmission of the radio-frequency signal. Your vehicle should be parked outside of the garage while training. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Place the hand-held transmitter 1 to 3 in (3 to 8 cm) from the HomeLinkt buttons while keeping the EVIC display in view. For optimal training, point the battery end of the hand- held transmitter away from the HomeLinkt. 3. Simultaneously, press and hold both the chosen HomeLinkt button and the hand-held transmitter button until the EVIC display changes from “CHANNEL # TRAINING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.”

154 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Then release both the HomeLinkt and hand-held trans- mitter buttons. If the EVIC display states “DID NOT TRAIN” repeat Step 3. If the signal is too weak, replace the battery in the original hand-held transmitter. It may take up to 30 seconds, or longer, in rare cases. The garage door may open and close while you train. NOTE: Some gate operators and garage door openers may require you to replace Step 3 with procedures noted in the “Gate Operator/Canadian Programming” section. 4. Press and hold the just-trained HomeLinkt button. If the channel has been trained, the EVIC display will now state “CHANNEL # TRANSMIT.” If the EVIC display still states “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” repeat Step 3.

NOTE: After training a HomeLinkt channel, if the garage door does not operate with HomeLinkt and the garage door opener was manufactured after 1995, the garage door opener may have rolling code. If so, proceed to the heading “Programming A Rolling Code System.” 5. PROGRAMMING A ROLLING CODE SYSTEM At the garage door opener motor (in the garage), locate the “learn” or “training” button. This can usually be found where the hanging antenna wire is attached to the garage door opener motor (it is NOT the button normally used to open and close the door).

7. Return to the vehicle and press the programmed HomeLinkt button twice (holding the button for two seconds each time). If the device is plugged in and activates, programming is complete. If the device does not activate, press the button a third time (for two seconds) to complete the training. If you have any problems, or require assistance, please call toll-free 1–800–355–3515 or, on the Internet at www.HomeLink.com for information or assistance. To program the remaining two HomeLinkt buttons, repeat each step for each remaining button. DO NOT erase the channels. Gate Operator/Canadian Programming Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter sig- nals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission – which may not be long enough for HomeLinkt to pick up the signal during programming.

1 — Garage Door Opener 2 — Training Button 6. Firmly press and release the “learn” or “training” button. The name and color of the button may vary by manufacturer. NOTE: There are 30 seconds in which to initiate the next step after the “Learn” button has been pressed.

156 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-out” in the same manner. It may be helpful to unplug the device during the cycling process to prevent possible overheating of the garage door or gate motor. If you are having difficulties programming a garage door opener or a gate operator, replace “Programming HomeLink” Step 3 with the following: 3. Continue to press and hold the HomeLinkt button while you press and release - every two seconds (“cycle”) your hand-held transmitter until HomeLinkt has successfully accepted the frequency signal. The EVIC display will change from “CHANNEL # TRAIN- ING” to “CHANNEL # TRAINED.” If you unplugged the device for training, plug it back in at this time.

Then proceed with Step 4 under “Programming HomeLinkt” earlier in this section. Using HomeLinkT To operate, simply press and release the programmed HomeLinkt button. Activation will now occur for the trained device (i.e., garage door opener, gate operator, security system, entry door lock, home/office lighting, etc.) The hand-held transmitter of the device may also be used at any time. Reprogramming A Single HomeLinkT Button To reprogram a channel that has been previously trained, follow these steps: 1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position. 2. Press and hold the desired HomeLinkt button for 20
seconds until the EVIC display states “CHANNEL # TRAINING.” Do not release the button.

3. Without releasing the button, proceed with Program- ming HomeLinkt Step 2 and follow all remaining steps. Security It is advised to erase all channels before you sell or turn in your vehicle. To do this, press and hold the two outside buttons for 20
seconds until the EVIC message states “CHANNELS CLEARED.” Note that all channels will be erased. Indi- vidual channels cannot be erased. The HomeLinkt Universal Transceiver is disabled when the Vehicle Security Alarm is active.

Pickup Box Features

The pickup box on your new vehicle has many features designed for utility and convenience.

178 UNDERSTANDING THE FEATURES OF YOUR VEHICLE

If you are installing a toolbox to the front of the NOTE: pickup box, you must use Mopart toolbox brackets available from your authorized dealer. You can carry wide building materials (sheets of ply- wood, etc.) by building a raised load floor. Place lumber across the box in the indentations provided above the wheel housings and in the bulkhead dividers to form the floor.

WARNING!

The pickup box is intended for load carrying pur- poses only, not for passengers, who should sit in seats and use seat belts.

WARNING!

† 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.

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 dealer.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

Instrument Cluster – 6.7L Diesel Engine

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTION

1. Check Gauges

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

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 189

the pointer moves to either extreme left or right and remains there during normal driving, the electrical sys- tem should be serviced. If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of NOTE: the gauge, the “Check Gauges” indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. NOTE: † 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. † The cycling action will cause temporary dimming of the headlights, interior lights, and also a noticeable reduction in blower motor speed.

190 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

3. Turn Signal Indicators Lights in instrument cluster flash when outside turn signals are operating. 4. Tachometer The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer at high rpm for extended periods. Engine damage may occur.

5. Airbag Indicator Light The indicator lights and remains lit for 6 to 8 seconds when the ignition is first turned on. If the light stays on, flickers or comes on while driving, have the airbag system checked by an authorized dealer.

6. High Beam Indicator

This indicator shows that headlights are on high beam.

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 seat belt remains unbuckled, the Seat Belt Warning Light will flash or remain on continuously. Refer to 9Enhanced Driver Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlertt)9 under “Occupant Restraints” in section 2. 8. Speedometer The speedometer shows the vehicle speed in miles per hour and/or kilometers per hour.

9. Oil Pressure Gauge

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. 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 “Four-Wheel Drive Operation” in Section 5 of this manual.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 191

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 button is pushed once. 12. Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge indicates engine coolant temperature. Any reading within the normal range indicates that the cooling system is operat- ing satisfactorily. The gauge needle will likely indicate a higher temperature when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, in heavy traffic, or when towing a trailer. If the needle rises to the “245°F” (118°C) mark, stop the vehicle, shift into NEUTRAL, and increase the engine idle speed for two to three minutes. If the tem- perature reading does not return to normal, shut your engine OFF and allow it to cool. Seek authorized service immediately. Refer to “Cooling System” under “Main- taining Your Vehicle” in Section 7.

192 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

CAUTION!

Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the en- gine running as you would not be able to react to the temperature indicator if the engine overheats.

NOTE: Engine idle speed will automatically increase to 1000 rpm at elevated coolant temperatures to improve engine cooling. If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of NOTE: the gauge, the “Check Gauges” indicator will illuminate and a single chime will sound. 13. Security Light The light will flash rapidly for approximately 16 seconds when the Vehicle Theft Alarm is arming. The light will

flash at a slower rate after the alarm is set. The Security Light will also come on for about two seconds when the ignition is first turned ON. 14. Transmission Range Indicator (Automatic Transmissions Only) When the gear selector lever is moved on vehicles with the 68RFE transmission, this indicator shows the auto- matic transmission gear range selected (P R N D). Ve- hicles equipped with Auto-6/Electronic Range Select (ERS) will display the selection of the desired top gear, in the position next to the D (Drive). 15. 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), “gASCAP” (which indicates that your gas cap is possibly loose or damaged), and “noFUSE” (indicates that the IOD fuse is removed from the Integrated Power Module), will dis- play in the odometer.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 193

NOTE: Most warnings will display in the EVIC (Elec- tronic Vehicle Information Center). 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 6 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. 16. Front Fog Light Indicator — If Equipped

17. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)

This light is part of an onboard diagnostic system which monitors the emissions and engine control system. If the vehicle is ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on, as a bulb check, until the engine is started. If the vehicle is not ready for emissions testing the light will come on when the ignition is first turned on and remain on for 15 seconds, then blink for five seconds, and remain on until the vehicle is started. If the bulb does not come on during starting, have the condition investigated promptly. If this light comes on and remains on while driving, it suggests a potential engine control problem and the need for system service. Although your vehicle will usually be drivable and not need towing, see your authorized dealer for service as soon as possible.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the MIL on could cause damage to the engine control system. It also could affect fuel economy and drivability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic converter damage and power loss will soon occur. Immediate service is required.

18. Brake System Warning Light This light illuminates when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and remains on for a few seconds. If the light stays on longer, it may be an indication that the parking brake has not been released. This light will illuminate if the brake fluid is low, especially when braking or accelerating hard. This light will illuminate if the ABS indicator light has a malfunction. This light will flash if the engine is running and the parking brake is on.

If the light remains on when the parking brake is released, it indicates a possible brake hydraulic system malfunction. In this case, the light will remain on until the cause is corrected. If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary and continued operation of the vehicle in this condition is dangerous. Acceleration which causes the rear wheels to slip for a period of time may result in the red brake light illumi- nating and a brake switch code being set on ABS equipped vehicles. Depressing the brake pedal should extinguish the red brake light. 19. ABS Warning Light

This light monitors the Anti-Lock Brake System which is described elsewhere in this manual. This light will come on when the ignition key is turned to the ON position and may stay on for five seconds. If the ABS light remains on or comes on during driving, it indicates

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 195

that the anti-lock portion of the brake system is not functioning and that service is required. See your autho- rized dealer immediately. The ABS light could also illuminate during loss of traction and remain illuminated until the brake pedal is pressed. 20. Cargo Light

The Cargo Light will illuminate when the Cargo Light is activated by pressing the Cargo Light Button on the headlight switch.

21. Electronic Throttle Control (ETC)

This light informs you of a problem with the Electronic Throttle Control system. If a prob- lem is detected, the light will come on while the engine is running. If the light remains lit with the engine running your vehicle will usually be drivable, however, see your authorized dealer for service as soon as possible. If the light is flashing when the engine is running, immediate service is required and you may

196 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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 for 15 seconds as a bulb check. If the light does not come on during starting, have the system checked by an authorized dealer. 22. SERV 4WD Indicator The 4WD indicator will be illuminated whenever 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.

23. Water In Fuel Indicator

Indicates there is water detected in the fuel filter. Refer to the Maintenance section, Drain- ing Fuel/Water Separator Filter, for water drain procedure.

24. 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 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. Accord- ingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a signifi- cantly 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.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 197

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 replace- ment or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

198 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

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.

TPMS “Light Load” Reset Switch – If Equipped The TPMS ”Light Load” reset switch allows you to choose between Light Load vehicle conditions and Max Load vehicle conditions tire pressures and related TPMS warning levels. The switch is located in the instrument

panel, below the climate control panel. For additional information refer to “Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) — If Equipped” in section 5 of this manual. 25. Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light (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. 26. Wait To Start Indicator

The Wait To Start indicator will illuminate when the ignition is turned to the run position and the intake manifold temperature is below 66°F (19°C).

Follow engine starting procedure for proper engine start- ing and operating. Wait until the Wait To Start indicator turns OFF, then start the vehicle. NOTE: The Wait To Start Indicator may not illuminate if the engine coolant temperature is warm enough. 27. 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. 28. Fuel Gauge Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. 29. Low Fuel Warning Light

Glows when the pointer is between “E” and 1/8
indication mark (approximately 15% of tank vol- ume) on the fuel gauge. When the fuel gauge pointer is on “E” (equivalent to Distance To Empty

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 199

[DTE] = 0 on the overhead console, if so equipped) there is reserve fuel capacity, which corresponds to approxi- mately 8% of tank volume. This reserve capacity was put in place to prevent the likelihood of customers running out of fuel when operating at maximum load conditions in areas where there aren’t many fuel stations. Fuel tank volumes are as follows: † 34 gal (128 L) - 2500/3500 short box models † 35 gal (132 L) - 2500/3500 long box models 30. CRUISE Light This indicator lights when the electronic speed control system is turned on.

200 UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

On the RAQ radio the time button alternates the location of the time and frequency on the display. On the REF only one of the two, time or frequency, is displayed at a time. Clock Setting Procedure

1. Press and hold the time button until the hours blink. 2. Adjust the hours by turning the right side Tune/ Audio control.

3. After the hours are adjusted, press the right side Tune/Audio control to set the minutes. 4. Adjust the minutes using the right side Tune/Audio control. 5. To exit, press any button/knob or wait approximately five seconds.

RADIO GENERAL INFORMATION

Radio Broadcast Signals The radio will provide excellent reception under most operating conditions. Like any system, however, automo- tive radios have performance limitations, due to mobile operation and natural phenomena, which might lead you to believe your sound system is malfunctioning. To help you understand and save you concern about these “ap- parent” malfunctions, you must understand a point or two about the transmission and reception of radio sig- nals.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 201

FM Reception Because FM transmission is based on frequency varia- tions, interference that consists of amplitude variations can be filtered out, leaving the reception relatively clear, which is the major feature of FM radio. NOTE: The radio, steering wheel radio controls (if equipped), and 6-disc CD/DVD changer (if equipped) will remain active for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch has been turned OFF. Opening a vehicle front door will cancel this feature.

Two Types of Signals There are two basic types of radio signals: AM or Amplitude Modulation, in which the transmitted sound causes the amplitude, or height, of the radio waves to vary; and FM or Frequency Modulation, in which the frequency of the wave is varied to carry the sound. Electrical Disturbances Radio waves may pick up electrical disturbances during transmission. They mainly affect the wave amplitude, and thus remain a part of the AM reception. They interfere very little with the frequency variations that carry the FM signal. AM Reception AM sound is based on wave amplitude, so AM reception can be disrupted by such things as lightning, power lines and neon signs.
