BASE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
DESCRIPTIONS — DIESEL ENGINE
1. Tachometer
○
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Engine Coolant Temperature
○
This gauge shows the engine coolant tempera-
ture. The gauge pointer will likely show higher
temperatures when driving in hot weather, up
mountain grades, or in heavy stop and go traf-
fic. If the red Warning Light turns on while driv-
ing, safely bring the vehicle to a stop, and turn
off the engine. DO NOT operate the vehicle until
the cause is corrected.
WARNING!
A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or oth-
ers could be badly burned by steam or boiling cool-
ant. You may want to call an authorized dealer for
service if your vehicle overheats.
CAUTION!
Driving with a hot engine cooling system could dam-
age your vehicle. If the 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," turn the engine off immediately and call an
authorized dealer for service.
3. Instrument Cluster Display
○
When the appropriate conditions exist, this dis-
play shows the instrument cluster display mes-
sages. Refer to "Instrument Cluster Display" in
"Getting To Know Your Instrument Panel" for
further information.
4. Oil Pressure Gauge
○
The pointer should always indicate some oil
pressure when the engine is running. A continu-
ous high or low reading under normal driving
conditions may indicate a lubrication system
malfunction. Immediate service should be
obtained from an authorized dealer.
5. Speedometer
○
Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
○
The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Die-
sel Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is required to maintain nor-
mal vehicle operation and emissions compli-
ance. If something is wrong with the gauge, a
DEF Warning Message or Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL) will be displayed. More information is
available in the instrument cluster display sec-
tion under the heading of Diesel Exhaust Fluid
(DEF) Warning Messages.
NOTE:
○
The gauge may take up to five seconds to update
after adding a gallon (approximately 4 liters) or
more of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF
tank. If you have a fault related to the DEF sys-
tem, the gauge may not update to the new level.
See an authorized dealer for service.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL
○
The DEF gauge may also not immediately update
after a refill if the temperature of the DEF fluid is
below 39°F (4°C). The DEF tank heater will
warm up the DEF fluid and allow the gauge to
update after a period of run time. Under very
cold conditions, it is possible that the gauge may
not reflect the new fill level for several drives.
7. Fuel Gauge
○
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.
○
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel
filler door is located.
Refer to "Refueling The Vehicle —
Gas Engine" in "Starting And Operating" for
further information.
