Trailer
If you are pulling a trailer, perform an inspection of the trailer similar to
that of the tractor. The inspection should follow trailer manufacturer
recommendations and should include at a minimum: general condition,
landing gear, doors, sides, lights, reflectors, suspension, brakes, tires,
wheels, cargo placement, stability and tie-downs.
Transmission
WARNING:If the unit starts in gear and/or the neutral start
switch is not functioning correctly, the vehicle may inadvertently
move which could result in property damage, personal injury or death.
If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission, regularly
inspect the transmission’s neutral start switch. The engine should only
start in positionNorP.
Inspect the transmission fluid level and shift linkage for proper
operation.

Deactivating and Activating the Belt-Minder® Feature
WARNING:While the design allows you to deactivate your
Belt-Minder®, this system is designed to improve your chances of
being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you leave
the Belt-Minder® system activated for yourself and others who may use
the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not deactivate or activate
the Belt-Minder® feature while driving the vehicle.
Read Steps 1-4 thoroughly before proceeding with the deactivation or
activation programming procedure.
The system can be deactivated and activated by performing the following
procedure:
Before following the procedure, make sure that:
•the parking brake is set
•the gearshift is in positionP(if equipped) orNfor an automatic
transmission or neutral for a manual transmission
•the ignition is off
•all vehicle doors are closed
•the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled
•the parklamps and headlamps are off.
1. Turn the ignition on. (DO NOT START THE ENGINE.)
2. Wait until the safety belt warning light turns off (approximately one
or two minutes).
•Steps 3–5 must be completed within 60 seconds after the safety
belt warning light turns off, or the procedure has to be repeated.
3. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times at a moderate
speed, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.
4. Turn on the parklamps and headlamps, then turn them off.
5. Buckle then unbuckle the safety belt three times at a moderate
speed, ending with the safety belt in the unbuckled state.
•After Step 5, the safety belt warning light turns on for three
seconds.
6. Within seven seconds of the light turning on, buckle then unbuckle
the safety belt.
•This disables the Belt-Minder® feature if it is currently enabled.
•This enables the Belt-Minder® feature if it is currently disabled.
Confirmation of disabling Belt-Minder® is provided by the safety belt
warning light flashing four times per second for three seconds.

possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
Indicates fluid level in DEF tank.
Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is
moving or on a grade. The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Engine Coolant Temperature Gauge
Indicates engine coolant temperature. At normal operating temperature,
the level indicator is in the normal range. If the engine coolant
temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the vehicle as soon as safely
possible, switch off the engine and let the engine cool.
WARNING:Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the
engine is running or hot.
Transmission Fluid Temperature Gauge
Indicates transmission fluid temperature. At normal operating
temperature, the level indicator is in the normal range. If the
transmission fluid temperature exceeds the normal range, stop the
vehicle as soon as safely possible and verify the airflow is not restricted,
such as snow or debris blocking airflow through the grill. Special
operating conditions, such as snowplowing, towing or off-road use, can
also cause higher than normal operating temperatures. Internal
transmission damage may occur if you operate the transmission for
extended periods with the gauge in the higher than normal area.
Changing the severity of the driving conditions may help lower the
transmission temperature into the normal range. If the gauge continues
to show high temperatures, see an authorized dealer.
Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much fuel is in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when your vehicle is
moving or on a grade. The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

WARNING:Driving a vehicle with the brake system warning
light on is dangerous. A significant decrease in braking
performance may occur. It takes you longer to stop the vehicle. Have
the vehicle checked by your authorized dealer. Driving extended
distances with the parking brake engaged can cause brake failure and
the risk of personal injury.
Charging System
It illuminates when the 12–volt battery is not charging properly.
Contact an authorized dealer as soon as possible. This indicates
a problem with the electrical system or a related component.
Check Fuel Cap (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when you may not have installed the fuel cap
properly. Continued driving with this light on may cause the
service engine soon warning indicator to come on.
Check Suspension
It illuminates when you press the air suspension dump switch.
Check Transmission (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a transmission problem exists;
shifting may be restricted. Depending on the severity of the
problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn blank.
On MD 3000 series transmissions, operation may continue in order to
reach service assistance. The control unit may not respond to shift
selector requests, since there are operating limitations on the
transmission (such as upshift and downshift restrictions). Direction
changes do not occur.
Cruise Control
It illuminates when you switch this feature on.
