MIDLINE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DESCRIPTIONS — GAS ENGINE

1. Tachometer
   1. Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Voltmeter
   1. 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
   1. When the appropriate conditions exist, this display shows the instrument cluster display messages on page 101.
   2. The display always shows one of the main menu items after the ignition is placed.
4. Oil Pressure Gauge
   1. 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 authorized dealer.
5. Speedometer
   1. Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Temperature Gauge
   1. The gauge pointer shows the engine coolant temperature. The pointer positioned within the normal range indicates that the engine cooling system is operating satisfactorily.
   2. 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 operating range.
      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 “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.
7. Fuel Gauge
   1. The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition is in the ON/RUN position.
   2. The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel door is located.

1. Tachometer
   1. Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Engine Coolant Temperature
   1. This gauge shows the engine coolant temperature. The gauge pointer will likely show higher temperatures when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades, or in heavy stop-and-go traffic. If the red Warning Light turns on while driving, safely bring the vehicle to a stop, and turn off the engine. DO NOT operate the vehicle until the cause is corrected.
      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 than “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.
3. Instrument Cluster Display

   2. The display always shows one of the main menu items after the ignition is placed.
4. Oil Pressure Gauge
   1. The pointer should always indicate some 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 authorized dealer.
5. Speedometer
   1. Indicates vehicle speed.
6. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
   1. The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Diesel Exhaust Fluid in the DEF tank. 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 DEF Warning Messages.
      NOTE:
      1. 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.
      2. 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 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.
7. Fuel Gauge
   1. The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN position.
   2. The fuel pump symbol points to the side of the vehicle where the fuel filler door is located.

      NOTE:
      1. 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 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 (322 kilometers) in some cases.
