Engine Starting (Parking Brake Applied)
Safety and
Emergency
Equipment•Before entering the cab, verify that the vehicle
is equipped with spare electrical fuses (if used),
three red reflective triangles, a properly charged
and rated fire extinguisher and wheel chocks.
•Walk around the vehicle and verify all steps
and grab handles, inside and out (as well as
behind), are tight and clean. Use extreme caution
and a three-point stance at all times.
•Inspect door latches for proper closing,
latching and locking.
Starting the
EngineSet the parking brake. If starting a vehicle with a
manual transmission, press the clutch and verify
the transmission is in neutral. If starting a vehicle
with an automatic transmission, make sure the
gearshift lever is in positionNorP(if equipped
with a park position).
Diesel engine:Turn the key to the on position.
Turn the key to start when the wait to start
indicator light in the instrument cluster turns off.
Gasoline engine:Turn the key to start, then
release it as soon as the engine starts.
Engine Oil
PressureVerify pressure builds to normal operating range.
Air Chime (If
Equipped with an
Air Compressor)The low air pressure warning chime should sound
immediately after the engine starts but before the
compressor has built-up pressure. The chime
should stop when the air pressure reaches 70 psi
(483 kPa) (or more). Let the air pressure build
to governed cut-out pressure, which should occur
between 115–130 psi (793–896 kPa).
AcceleratorPress the accelerator and verify that it operates
smoothly, without any binding or irregular feel.
Release the pedal and verify the engine returns
to idle speed immediately.

Engine Oil Pressure Gauge
Indicates engine oil pressure. The needle should stay in the normal
operating range. If the needle falls below the normal range, stop the
vehicle, turn off the engine and check the engine oil level. Add oil if
needed. If the oil level is correct, have your vehicle checked at your
authorized dealer.

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.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
Indicates fluid level in DEF tank.
Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in
motion 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. Also, higher
than normal operating temperature can be caused by special operation
conditions (i.e., snowplowing, towing or off-road use). Operating the
transmission for extended periods of time with the gauge in the higher
than normal area may cause internal transmission damage. Altering the
severity of the driving conditions is recommended to lower the
transmission temperature into the normal range. If the gauge continues
to show high temperatures, see your authorized dealer.
Fuel Gauge
Indicates approximately how much fuel is left in the fuel tank (when the
ignition is on). The fuel gauge may vary slightly when the vehicle is in
motion or on a grade. The fuel icon and arrow indicates which side of
the vehicle the fuel filler door is located.

Gauge Package (If Equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped with an optional gauge package which has
one of the following configurations:
1.Transmission temperature
gauge:Displays the
transmission temperature at the
transmission sump.
2.Hourmeter:Displays the hours
of engine run time.
3.Voltmeter:Displays electrical
system voltage.
WARNING LAMPS AND INDICATORS
The following warning lamps and indicators alert you to a vehicle
condition that may become serious. Some lamps illuminate when you
start your vehicle to make sure they work. If any lamps remain on after
starting your vehicle, see the respective system warning lamp for further
information.
Note:Some warning indicators appear in the information display and
function the same as a warning lamp but do not display when you start
your vehicle.
Anti-Lock Braking System
If it illuminates when you are driving, this indicates a
malfunction. You continue to have the normal braking system
(without ABS) unless the brake warning lamp is also
illuminated. Have the system checked by your authorized dealer.
Brake System
To confirm the brake system warning light is functional, it
momentarily illuminates when the ignition is turned to the on
position when the engine is not running, or in a position
between on and start.
If the brake system warning light does not illuminate at this time, seek
service immediately from your authorized dealer.

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 your 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 the fuel cap may not be properly installed.
Continued driving with this light on may cause the service
engine soon warning indicator to come on.
Check Suspension
It illuminates when the air suspension dump switch has been
activated.
Check Transmission (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a problem has been detected in
the transmission; 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 operating limitations are being placed on the
transmission (i.e. upshifts and downshifts may be restricted). Direction
changes do not occur.
Cruise Control
It illuminates when you switch this feature on.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the diesel exhaust fluid level falls below
0.5 gallons (1.9L) in the five gallon (19.0L) tank or one gallon
(3.8L) in the nine gallon (34.0L) tank. Refill the tank or, at a
minimum, add at least one gallon (3.8L) to the five gallon (19.0L) tank
or two gallons (7.6L) to the nine gallon (34.0L) tank.
Diesel Particulate Filter (diesel engine only)
It illuminates when the soot level in the diesel particulate filter
has reached a point where it requires operator assistance. See
Diesel particulate filterin theMaintenancechapter, and your
engine operator’s manual, for more details.
Do Not Shift (Allison automatic transmission only)
It illuminates while driving if a problem has been detected in
the transmission; shifting may be restricted. Depending on the
severity of the problem, the shifter’s digital read-out may turn
blank.
Operation may continue in order to reach service assistance. The control
unit may not respond to shift selector requests, since operating
limitations are being placed on the transmission (i.e. upshifts and
downshifts may be restricted). Direction changes do not occur.
Direction Indicator
It illuminates when the left or right turn signal or the hazard
warning flasher is switched on. If the indicators stay on or flash
faster, check for a burned out bulb.
Electronic Locking Differential
It illuminates when using the electronic locking differential.
Engine Oil Pressure (gasoline engine only)
It illuminates when engine oil pressure is low.
Fasten Safety belt
It illuminates and a chime sounds to remind you to fasten your
safety belt.
