GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL91
Diesel INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

1. Tachometer

Indicates the engine speed in revolutions
per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Instrument Cluster Display
When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the instrument cluster
display messages. Refer to “Instrument
Cluster Display” in “Getting To Know Your
Instrument Panel” for further informa -
tion.
3. Speedometer
Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Fuel Gauge
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in
the ON/RUN position.
 The fuel pump symbol points
to the side of the vehicle where
the fuel filler door is located. Refer to “Refueling The Vehicle — Diesel
Engine” in “Starting And Operating” for
further information.
5. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Diesel Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank.
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is required to
maintain normal vehicle operation and
emissions compliance. If something is
wrong with the gauge, a DEF Warning
Message or Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL) will be displayed. More information
is available in the instrument cluster
display section under the heading of
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Warning
Messages. NOTE:
The DEF tank on these vehicles is designed
with a large amount of full reserve. So the
level sensor will indicate a full reading even
before the tank is completely full. To put it
another way, there’s additional storage
capacity in the tank above the Full mark
that’s not represented in the gauge. You may
not see any movement in the reading – even
after driving up to 200 miles
(321 kilometers) in some cases.
The gauge may take up to five seconds to
update after adding a gallon or more of
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) to the DEF tank. If
you have a fault related to the DEF system,
the gauge may not update to the new level.
See an authorized dealer for service.
The DEF gauge may also not immediately
update after a refill if the temperature of the
DEF fluid is below 39°F (4°C). The DEF tank
heater will possibly warm up the DEF fluid
and allow the gauge to update after a period
of run time. Under very cold conditions, it is
possible that the gauge may not reflect the
new fill level for several drives.
