Operation in standing water
Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and
severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to
avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion
of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.
Consult your dealer for service immediately.
Engine block heater (if equipped)
Refer to theDrivingchapter in theOwner’s Guide.
Rapid heat supplemental heating system (if equipped)
The optional rapid heat feature is an electrically powered device that is
designed to provide supplemental heat during engine warm up. For
maximum effectiveness mid to low blower speed is recommended during
initial warm up. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the
climate control unit will determine the appropriate blower speed for
existing conditions.
Note:Additional aftermarket electrical loads operated during engine
warm up may impact the performance of the rapid heat supplemental
heater.
DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
If your vehicle is equipped with dual
fuel tanks, you will have a selector
control, located to the right of the
steering wheel, which allows you to
draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel
gauge will display the amount of
fuel in the currently selected tank.

Coolant change interval
❑6 years or 105,000 miles (168,000 km) - change coolant (whichever comes first) or as indicated from the coolant tests
for concentration (freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion inhibitor).
❑After initial change - change coolant every 3 years or 45,000 miles (72,000 km) or as indicated from the coolant tests
for concentration (freeze-point) or additive strength (corrosion inhibitor).
❑Use coolant specified in theOwner’s Guideunder theMaintenance and Specificationschapter
❑For special operating conditions, seeSpecial Operating Conditionsat the end of this section
Check every month
❑Check function of all interior and exterior lights❑Check tires for wear and adjust air pressure (including spare tire)
❑Check that holes in the tail-pipe of the exhaust system are clear of debris-the holes/slots are functional
❑Check engine oil level
❑Check windshield washer fluid level
❑Check and drain fuel filter/water separator
❑Check air filter restriction gauge
Check every six months
❑Check lap/shoulder belts and seat latches for wear and function❑Check that externally-mounted spare tire is tight (seeOwner’s Guide)
❑Check power steering fluid level
❑Check washer spray, wiper operation and clean all wiper blades (replace as necessary)
❑Check parking brake for proper operation
❑Check and lubricate all hinges, latches and outside locks
❑Check and lubricate door rubber weatherstrips
❑Check and clean body and door drain holes
❑Check safety warning lamps (brake, ABS, air bag, safety belt) for operation
❑Check engine and secondary cooling system concentration (freeze-point protection), additive strength (corrosion inhibitor),
coolant level and hoses
❑Check battery connections and clean if necessary
Retightening lug nuts
❑On vehicles equipped with single rear wheels, retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque at 500 miles (800 km) after
any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑On vehicles equipped with dual rear wheels, retighten the wheel lug nuts to the specified torque at 100 miles (160 km),
and again at 500 miles (800 km) of new vehicle operation and after any wheel disturbance (tire rotation, changing a flat
tire, wheel removal, etc.).
❑Refer toWheel Lug Nut Torque Specificationin yourOwner’s Guidefor the proper lug nut torque specification.
