ESCRIPTIONS

1. Tachometer



Indicates the engine speed in revolutions

per minute (RPM x 1000).

2. Voltmeter



When the vehicle is in the RUN state, the

gauge indicates the electrical system

voltage. The pointer should stay within the

normal range if the battery is charged. If the

pointer moves to either extreme left or right

and remains there during normal driving,

the electrical system should be serviced.

3. Instrument Cluster Display



When the appropriate conditions exist, this

display shows the instrument cluster

display messages

Ú

page 81.



The display always shows one of the main

menu item after the ignition is placed on.

4. Oil Pressure Gauge



The pointer should always indicate the oil

pressure when the engine is running. A

continuous high or low reading under

normal driving conditions may indicate a

lubrication system malfunction. Immediate

service should be obtained from an autho

-

rized dealer.

5. Speedometer



Indicates vehicle speed.

6. Temperature Gauge



The gauge pointer shows engine coolant

temperature. The pointer positioned within

the normal range indicates that the engine

cooling system is operating satisfactorily.



The gauge pointer will likely indicate a

higher temperature when driving in hot

weather, up mountain grades, or when

towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to

exceed the upper limits of the normal oper

-

ating range.

7. Fuel Gauge



The pointer shows the level of fuel in the

fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN

position.



The fuel pump symbol points to the

side of the vehicle where the fuel

door is located.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or

others could be badly burned by steam or boiling

coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized

dealer for service if your vehicle overheats. If you

decide to look under the hood yourself, Follow

the warnings under the Cooling System Pressure

Cap paragraph

Ú

page 354.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could

damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge

reads “H,” pull over and stop the vehicle. Idle the

vehicle with the air conditioner turned off until

the pointer drops back into the normal range. If

the pointer remains on the “H,” turn the engine

off immediately and call an authorized dealer for

service.

The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of

Diesel Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. DEF is



The pointer shows the level of fuel in the

fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the



The fuel pump symbol points to the

side of the vehicle where the fuel

filler door is located.

NOTE:



The gauge may take up to five seconds to

update after adding a gallon or more of 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.

WARNING!

A hot engine cooling system is dangerous. You or

others could be badly burned by steam or boiling

coolant. It is recommended to call an authorized

dealer for service if your vehicle overheats.

CAUTION!

Driving with a hot engine cooling system could

damage your vehicle. If the temperature gauge

reads greater “H,” pull over and stop the vehicle.

Idle the vehicle with the air conditioner turned

off until the pointer drops back into the normal

range. If the pointer remains on the “h,” turn the

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 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.

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle is equipped with an instrument cluster

display, which offers useful information to the

driver. With the ignition in the OFF mode, opening/

closing of a door will activate the display for

viewing, and display the total miles, or kilometers,

in the odometer. Your instrument cluster display is

designed to display important information about

your vehicle’s systems and features. Using a driver

interactive display located on the instrument

panel, your instrument cluster display can show

you how systems are working and give you

warnings when they are not. The steering wheel

mounted controls allow you to scroll through the

main menus and submenus. You can access the

specific information you want and make selections

and adjustments.

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Messages

The Cummins® diesel engine meets all diesel

emissions standards, resulting in one of the lowest

emitting diesel engines ever produced. To achieve

these emissions standards, your vehicle is

equipped with a state-of-the-art engine and

exhaust system. These systems are seamlessly

integrated 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.

Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to

additional maintenance required on your vehicle or

engine. The following messages may display in

your instrument cluster display:



Perform Service — Your vehicle will require emis

-

sions maintenance at a set interval. To help

remind you when this maintenance is due, the

instrument cluster display will display “Perform

Service”. When the “Perform Service” message

is displayed in the instrument cluster display it is

necessary to have the emissions maintenance

performed. Emissions maintenance may

include replacing the Closed Crankcase Ventila

-

tion (CCV) filter element. The procedure for

clearing and resetting the "Perform Service"

indicator message is located in the appropriate

Service Information.



Exhaust System — Regeneration Required

Now — "Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at

Highway Speeds to Remedy" will be displayed in

the instrument cluster display if the exhaust

particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum

storage capacity. Under conditions of exclusive

short duration and low speed driving cycles,

your Cummins® diesel engine and exhaust

after-treatment system may never reach the

conditions required to remove the trapped PM.

If this occurs, the “Exhaust Filter XX% Full Safely

Drive at Highway Speeds to Remedy” message

will be displayed in the instrument cluster

display. If this message is displayed, you will

hear one chime to assist in alerting you of this

condition

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.
