226 Driving and Operating
When Canceling Cruise Control
Press the cruise control main switch
again to turn the cruise control
system off. The cruise control main
indicator light will go out.
The cruise control set speed is
canceled in the following cases:
.When the brake pedal is
pressed.
. When the selector lever is
shifted to the N position.
. When cruising speed is
approximately 27 km/h (17
MPH). * .
When the vehicle speed
decreases more than 20% below
your set speed.
. When the cruise control main
switch is turned off. *
. When the engine control switch
is turned to the LOCK position. *
. When trouble develops in the
system. *
Memory speed is eliminated. *
When you do not use the cruise
control, be sure to place the cruise
control main switch into off.
When you place the engine control
switch into ACC, place the cruise
control main switch into off, then
reset the cruise control if you want
to use the cruise control again.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will
work on hills depends upon your
speed, load and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep your speed down. Of
course, applying the brake takes
you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise
control on steep hills.
When Returning to Cruise Control
Driving
If you have canceled cruise control
under the following conditions, you
can return to the cruise control
driving condition before cancellation
when you operate and release the
cruise control resume switch. The
moment the resume switch is
released, the cruise set indicator
light comes on.
.
When pressing the brake pedal.
. When the selector lever is
shifted to the N position.
When the vehicle speed decreases
to 40 km/h (25 MPH) or less, it is
not possible to return to the cruise
control driving. You must reset the
cruise control.

238 Driving and Operating
Optional PTO switches are available
from your dealer to ease installation
of a PTO.
The optional PTO main switch and
PTO engine speed control switch
can be used increase the engine
idle r/min without additional
programming. Pressing the PTO
main switch once will activate the
PTO mode and raise the idle up
speed up to the preset 800 r/min.
Once in PTO mode the PTO engine
speed control switch can be used to
adjust the idle speeds between the
preset 1,300 and 1,700 r/min.
Moving the selector lever from park
or neutral, applying the brake pedal
or releasing the parking brake will
cancel PTO mode and return the
engine idle speed to normal. For
additional details about PTO
programming, contact your dealer.

246 Vehicle Care
and the oil should be changed
regularly according to the
Maintenance Schedule.
The engine oil performs the
following important functions:
.It prevents engine parts from
becoming worn.
. It cools engine parts.
. It cleans engine parts.
. It seals the combustion
chambers and prevents rust.
Replace the engine oil at regular
intervals.
When particulate matter (PM) has
accumulated to a preset level in the
diesel particulate filter (DPF), the
filter is automatically regenerated
through combustion. To make this
regeneration (combustion) possible,
a small amount of fuel is injected
into the engine combustion chamber
after firing. This causes fuel to
gradually become mixed with the
engine oil, and the engine oil level
may rise beyond the original level.
This does not indicate a malfunction
of the engine.Access to the Engine
Single Cab Model
Access to the engine oil dipstick is
located on the engine left side after
tilting the cab. See Cab Tilting
0 243.
Crew Cab Model
The engine oil dipstick is under the
engine inspection sub cover located
beneath the driver's seat.
Checking the Engine Oil Level
Press the engine oil level check
switch. If engine oil level is low the
red oil pressure warning light will
turn on. If the engine oil level is
above the "OK", the green oil level
indicator will turn on.
The oil level varies while the engine
is running, right after it is stopped,
and on sloping ground. When
checking the oil level, be sure the
vehicle is on level ground while the
engine is cool.

258 Vehicle Care
1. When the engine is cool,remove the radiator cap (1).
.Turn the cap slowly to the
left until it reaches a “stop”.
Do not press down while
turning the cap.
. Wait until any remaining
pressure (indicated by a
hissing sound) is relieved,
then press down on the cap
and continue turning it to
the left.
2. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck (2) and install the
radiator cap. Add enough engine coolant to provide for
required cooling, freezing, and
corrosion protection.
3. Run the engine until the engine coolant temperature rises to
normal level, and idle the
engine for 10 minutes.
4. Install the radiator cap.
Check, replenish or change the
engine coolant only after the engine
has sufficiently cooled down.
When the engine is still hot, take
care to prevent engine coolant from
contact with the exhaust manifold.
Any such contact could result in
exhaust manifold damage.
If you use the proper quality engine
coolant, there is no need to add
extra inhibitors or additives which
claim to improve the system. They
may be harmful to the proper
operation of the system.
Do not overfill the engine coolant
reserve tank.
If the level of engine coolant
changes rapidly, have your vehicle
inspected at your dealer. Thermostat
The engine coolant temperature is
controlled by thermostat(s). The
thermostats stop engine coolant
flow through the radiator until a
preset temperature is reached. The
thermostats are installed in the
engine coolant outlet on the engine
block. The same thermostats are
used in both winter and summer.
When a replacement is needed,
genuine GM parts are
recommended.
Radiator Pressure Cap
The radiator cap, a 108 kPa (16 psi)
pressure type, must be installed
tightly, otherwise engine coolant
may be lost and damage to the
engine may result from overheating.
The radiator pressure cap should be
checked periodically for proper
operation. If a replacement is
required, a genuine GM part is
recommended.
