Idle Shutdown
If the vehicle has a diesel engine it could have an
engine idle shutdown feature.
This feature automatically shuts down the engine after it
idles continuously for five minutes and if the following
conditions are met:
•The parking brake is set.
•The vehicle is at a complete stop.
•The automatic transmission is in N (Neutral) or
P (Park).
If the parking brake is not engaged, then the engine
shuts down after 15 minutes of continuous idling
operation.
The driver can reset the engine shutdown timer by
momentarily changing the position of the accelerator,
brake, or clutch pedal or by shifting the transmission out
of P (Park) or N (Neutral). Once reset, the engine idle
shutdown will restart the shutdown sequence described
above, and will continue to do so until the engine
shuts down or the vehicle is driven.The engine will not go into idle shutdown mode if:
•The Power Take-Off (PTO) equipment is operating.
SeePower Take-Off (PTO) on page 2-30for more
information.
•The engine coolant temperature is below 60°F.
The engine idle shutdown will be activated once
the vehicle coolant reaches 60°F or above.
•The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) is in regeneration
mode and the green DPF lamp is illuminated to
notify the driver that DPF is regenerating. The
engine idle shutdown mode will be overridden for
the time necessary to complete the regeneration
process, up to a maximum of 30 minutes.
•Service or maintenance is being performed on the
engine. The engine idle shutdown mode may be
deactivated, by using a diagnostic scan tool,
for a period of up to a maximum of 60 minutes.

Low Oil Level Light
Your vehicle may have a
low oil level light.
This light should come on as a check, when you start
your engine. If the light fails to come on, have it repaired
as soon as possible so you will be aware when the oil
level is low.
Vehicles that have Caterpillar
®diesel engines may not
have a low oil level light. In this case, the light will
neither come on as a check when you start your engine,
nor will it come on to indicate a low oil level.
If this light comes on and stays on, it means your
engine is low on oil. You need to check the oil level
right away. SeeEngine Oil (DURAMAX Diesel Engine)
on page 5-24orEngine Oil (Caterpillar Diesel Engine)
on page 5-27orEngine Oil (Isuzu Diesel Engine)
on page 5-28orEngine Oil (Gasoline Engine) on
page 5-32for further information.Notice:Lack of proper engine oil maintenance
can damage the engine. The repairs would not be
covered by the vehicle warranty. Always follow the
maintenance schedule in this manual for changing
engine oil.
Change Engine Oil Light
The change engine oil light
should come on briefly as
a bulb check when you
start the engine. If the light
does not come on, have
it serviced.
If the change engine oil light comes on and stays on
after you start the engine, have the oil changed.
For additional information on when to change engine oil
for gasoline engines or DURAMAX
®diesel engines, see

Diesel Particulate Filter Warning
Light
Your vehicle may have two
Diesel Particulate Filter
(DPF) Warning lights.
These lights will come on briefly when the ignition is
turned to ON/RUN. One of these lights will come on
green during DPF regeneration. If the other light comes
on yellow, perform a manual regeneration or drive the
vehicle for automatic regeneration. If the light changes
from yellow to red, the DPF requires an immediate
regeneration. If the DPF is not regenerated, the service
engine soon light will come on and engine power will be
reduced.
SeeDiesel Particulate Filter on page 2-46andReduced
Engine Power Light on page 3-42for more information.
Air Filter Restriction Indicator
If your vehicle has this
feature, the gage is located
above the switchbank in
the center of the instrument
panel. It monitors the
engine air filter.
As the filter gets dirty, the yellow indicator will begin to
rise. When it reaches the red/orange change area,
the filter should be replaced.
After replacing the filter, reset the gage by pressing in
the yellow reset button at the bottom of the gage.
If you have a Caterpillar
®diesel engine, also see your
Caterpillar®Operation & Maintenance Manual.

Scheduled Maintenance
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of
this vehicle. The services shown after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated at the same miles (km)
after those intervals for the life of this vehicle.
Gasoline engine vehicles and some DURAMAX
®diesel
and Isuzu diesel engine vehicles have a computer
that lets you know when to change the engine oil. This
is not based on mileage, but on engine operation
and engine temperature. When the computer has
calculated that the oil needs changing, the Engine Oil
Life System will indicate that a change is necessary. See
Engine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-35
orEngine Oil Life System (DURAMAX/Isuzu Diesel
Engines) on page 5-36orEngine Oil Life System
(Caterpillar Diesel Engine) on page 5-38.
The “Footnotes” at the end of this Maintenance
Schedule further explain maintenance services.
