Oil Change Indicator System — If
Equipped
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil
change indicator system. The “Oil Change
Due” message will display in the instrument
cluster display for five seconds after a single
chime has sounded, to indicate the next scheduled oil change interval. The engine oil
change indicator system is duty cycle based,
which means the engine oil change interval
may fluctuate, dependent upon your
personal driving style.
To have the oil changed, please refer to an
authorized dealer.
Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) — If Equipped
The Gear Shift Indicator (GSI) system is
enabled on vehicles with a manual transmis
-
sion, or when a vehicle with an automatic
transmission is in manual shift mode. The
GSI provides the driver with a visual indica -
tion when the recommended gear shift point
has been reached. This indication notifies
the driver that changing gears will allow a
reduction in fuel consumption. When the up
shift indicator is shown on the instrument
cluster display, the GSI is advising the driver
to engage a higher gear. When the down shift
indicator is shown on the display, the GSI is
advising the driver to engage a lower gear.
The GSI remains illuminated until the driver
changes gears, or the driving conditions
return to a situation where changing gear is
not required to improve fuel consumption.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages
This engine meets all required diesel engine
emissions standards. To achieve these emis-
sions standards, your vehicle is equipped
with a state-of-the-art engine and exhaust
system. These systems are seamlessly inte -
grated into your vehicle and managed by the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM
manages engine combustion to allow the
exhaust system’s catalyst to trap and burn
Particulate Matter (PM) pollutants, with no
input or interaction on your part.

WARNING!
A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you
park over materials that can burn. Such
materials might be grass or leaves coming
into contact with your exhaust system. Do
not park or operate your vehicle in areas
where your exhaust system can contact
anything that can burn.
CAUTION!
Always drive at a speed appropriate to the
traffic conditions, the weather and traffic
regulations. The engine may be switched
off even if the warning light is on: repeated
interruptions of the regeneration process
could cause an early deterioration of
engine oil. For this reason, it is always
advisable to wait for the symbol to go off
before turning off the engine, following the
instructions above. Do not complete the
DPF regeneration process when the vehicle
is stopped.

sensor reading indicates an engine block
heater has not been used. The Glow Plug
light will flash during in cold weather for up
to ten seconds.
If equipped with a block heater harness the
message “Plug In Engine Heater”, will be
displayed in the instrument cluster when the
ambient temperature is below 5°F (-15° C) at
the time the engine is shut off as a reminder
to avoid possible crank delays at the next
cold start.
CAUTION!
The TPMS has been optimized for the
original equipment tires and wheels.
TPMS pressures and warning have been
established for the tire size equipped on
your vehicle. Undesirable system operation
or sensor damage may result when using
replacement equipment that is not of the
same size, type, and/or style. Aftermarket
wheels can cause sensor damage. Using
aftermarket tire sealants may cause the
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
sensor to become inoperable. After using
an aftermarket tire sealant it is
recommended that you take your vehicle to
an authorized dealer to have your sensor
function checked.

Exhaust GasThe best protection against carbon monoxide
entry into the vehicle body is a properly
maintained engine exhaust system.
Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of
the exhaust system, when exhaust fumes can
be detected inside the vehicle, or when the
underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged,
have a competent mechanic inspect the
complete exhaust system and adjacent body
areas for broken, damaged, deteriorated, or
mispositioned parts. Open seams or loose
connections could permit exhaust fumes to
seep into the passenger compartment. In
addition, inspect the exhaust system each
time the vehicle is raised for lubrication or oil
change. Replace as required.
Safety Checks You Should Make Inside
The Vehicle
Seat Belts
Inspect the seat belt system periodically,
checking for cuts, frays, and loose parts.
Damaged parts must be replaced immediately.
Do not disassemble or modify the system.
Front seat belt assemblies must be replaced
after a collision. Rear seat belt assemblies
must be replaced after a collision if they
have been damaged (i.e., bent retractor, torn
webbing, etc.). If there is any question
regarding seat belt or retractor condition,
replace the seat belt.
Air Bag Warning Light
The Air Bag warning light will turn on for
four to eight seconds as a bulb check when
the ignition switch is first turned to ON/RUN.
If the light is either not on during starting,
stays on, or turns on while driving, have the
system inspected at an authorized dealer as
soon as possible. After the bulb check, this
light will illuminate with a single chime when
a fault with the Air Bag System has been
detected. It will stay on until the fault is
removed. If the light comes on intermittently
or remains on while driving, have an autho
-
rized dealer service the vehicle immediately.
Refer to “Occupant Restraint Systems” in
“Safety” for further information.
WARNING!
Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They
contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Breathing it can
make you unconscious and can eventually
poison you. To avoid breathing (CO), follow
these safety tips:
Do not run the engine in a closed garage
or in confined areas any longer than
needed to move your vehicle in or out of
the area.
If you are required to drive with the
trunk/liftgate/rear doors open, make sure
that all windows are closed and the
climate control BLOWER switch is set at
high speed. DO NOT use the recircula-
tion mode.
If it is necessary to sit in a parked vehicle
with the engine running, adjust your
heating or cooling controls to force
outside air into the vehicle. Set the
blower at high speed.

during the pre-heat process, When the
engine “Wait To Start” telltale goes off the
engine will automatically crank.
3. The system will automatically engage thestarter to crank the engine. If the vehicle
fails to start, the starter will disengage
automatically after 30 seconds.
4. If you wish to stop the cranking of the engine prior to the engine starting, push
the ENGINE START/STOP button again.
5. Check that the oil pressure warning light has turned off.
6. Release the parking brake.Engine Warm Up
Avoid full throttle operation when the engine
is cold. When starting a cold engine, bring
the engine up to operating speed slowly to
allow the oil pressure to stabilize as the
engine warms up.
NOTE:
High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine
can result in excessive white smoke and poor
engine performance. No-load engine speeds
should be kept under 1,200 RPM during the
warm-up period, especially in cold ambient
temperature conditions.
ENGINE BREAK-IN
RECOMMENDATIONS
A long break-in period is not required for the
engine and drivetrain (transmission and axle)
in your vehicle.
Drive moderately during the first 300 miles
(500 km). After the initial 60 miles
(100 km), speeds up to 50 or 55 mph (80 or
90 km/h) are desirable. While cruising, brief full-throttle accelera
-
tion within the limits of local traffic laws
contributes to a good break-in. Wide-open
throttle acceleration in low gear can be detri -
mental and should be avoided.
The engine oil installed in the engine at the
factory is a high-quality energy conserving
type lubricant. Oil changes should be consis -
tent with anticipated climate conditions
under which vehicle operations will occur.
For the recommended viscosity and quality
grades, refer to “Fluids And Lubricants” in
“Technical Specifications”.
NOTE:
A new engine may consume some oil during
its first few thousand miles (kilometers) of
operation. This should be considered a
normal part of the break-in and not inter -
preted as a problem.
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the starter, do not
crank continuously for more than 10
seconds at a time. Wait 10 to 15 seconds
before trying again.
CAUTION!
Never use Non-Detergent Oil or Straight
Mineral Oil in the engine or damage may
result.
