INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY

Your vehicle will be 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 aren’t. The

steering wheel mounted controls allow you to scroll

through and enter the main menus and submenus. You

can access the specific information you want and make

selections and adjustments.

CAUTION!

Do not operate the engine with the tachometer pointer

in the red area. Engine damage will occur.

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.

This vehicle is equipped with an Intelligent Battery Sensor

(IBS) to perform additional monitoring of the electrical

system and status of the vehicle battery.
In cases when the IBS detects charging system failure, or

the vehicle battery conditions are deteriorating, electrical

load reduction actions will take place to extend the driving

time and distance of the vehicle. This is done by reducing

power to or turning off non-essential electrical loads.
Load reduction is only active when the engine is running.

It will display a message if there is a risk of battery

depletion to the point where the vehicle may stall due to

lack of electrical supply, or will not restart after the current

drive cycle.

When load reduction is activated, the message “Battery

Saver On” or “Battery Saver Mode” will appear in the

instrument cluster display.
These messages indicate the vehicle battery has a low

state of charge and continues to lose electrical charge at

a rate that the charging system cannot sustain.

NOTE:



The charging system is independent from load reduc

tion. The charging system performs a diagnostic on the

charging system continuously.



If the Battery Charge Warning Light is on it may indicate

a problem with the charging system

page 117.

The electrical loads that may be switched off (if equipped),

and vehicle functions which can be effected by load

reduction:



Heated Seat/Vented Seats/Heated Wheel



Rear Defroster And Heated Mirrors



HVAC System



150W Power Inverter System



Audio and Telematics System

Loss of the battery charge may indicate one or more of the

following conditions:



The charging system cannot deliver enough electrical

power to the vehicle system because the electrical

loads are larger than the capability of the charging

system. The charging system is still functioning prop

erly.



Turning on all possible vehicle electrical loads (e.g.

HVAC to max settings, exterior and interior lights, over

loaded power outlets +12 Volt, 150W, USB ports)

during certain driving conditions (city driving, towing,

frequent stopping).



Installing options like additional lights, upfitter elec

trical accessories, audio systems, alarms and similar

devices.



Unusual driving cycles (short trips separated by long

parking periods).



The vehicle was parked for an extended period of time

(weeks, months).



The battery was recently replaced and was not charged

completely.



The battery was discharged by an electrical load left on

when the vehicle was parked.



The battery was used for an extended period with the

engine not running to supply radio, lights, chargers,

+12 Volt portable appliances like vacuum cleaner’s,

game consoles and similar devices.

What to do when an electrical load reduction action

message is present (“Battery Saver On” or “Battery Saver

Mode”)
During a trip:



Reduce power to unnecessary loads if possible:



Turn off redundant lights (interior or exterior)



Check what may be plugged in to power outlets

+12 Volt, 150W, USB ports



Check HVAC settings (blower, temperature)



Check the audio settings (volume)

After a trip:



Check if any aftermarket equipment was installed

(additional lights, upfitter electrical accessories, audio

systems, alarms) and review specifications if any (load

and Ignition Off Draw currents).



Evaluate the latest driving cycles (distance, driving

time and parking time).



The vehicle should have service performed if the

message is still present during consecutive trips and

the evaluation of the vehicle and driving pattern did not

help to identify the cause.

ESSAGES

This engine meets all required diesel engine emissions

standards. 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.

116

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL

Your vehicle has the ability to alert you to additional

maintenance required on your vehicle or engine. Refer to

the following messages that may be displayed on your

instrument cluster display:



Exhaust Filter Nearing Full Safely Drive at Consistent

Speeds to Clear — This message will be displayed if the

exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum

storage capacity. Under conditions of exclusive short

duration and low speed driving cycles, your diesel

engine and exhaust after-treatment system may never

reach the conditions required to cleanse the filter to

remove the trapped PM. If this occurs, the “Exhaust

Filter XX% Full Safely Drive at Highway Speeds to

Remedy” message will be displayed. If this message is

displayed, you will hear one chime to assist in alerting

you of this condition. By simply driving your vehicle at

highway speeds for up to 20 minutes, you can remedy

the condition in the particulate filter system and allow

your diesel engine and exhaust after-treatment system

to cleanse the filter to remove the trapped PM and

restore the system to normal operating condition.



Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Continue

Driving — This message indicates that the DPF is

self-cleaning. Maintain your current driving condition

until regeneration is completed.



Exhaust System — Regeneration Completed — This

message indicates that the DPF self-cleaning is

completed. If this message is displayed, you will hear

one chime to assist in alerting you of this condition.



Exhaust System Service Required — See Dealer — This

messages indicates regeneration has been disabled

due to a system malfunction. At this point the engine

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) will register a fault

code, the instrument panel will display a Malfunction

Indicator Light (MIL).



Exhaust Filter Full — Power Reduced See Dealer — This

message indicates the PCM has derated the engine to

limit the likelihood of permanent damage to the

after-treatment system. If this condition is not

corrected and a dealer service is not performed, exten

sive exhaust after-treatment damage can occur. To

correct this condition it will be necessary to have your

vehicle serviced by an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

Failing to follow the oil change indicator, changing your oil

and resetting the oil change indicator by 0 miles (0 kilo

meters) remaining will prevent the diesel exhaust filter

from performing its cleaning routine. This will shortly result

in a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) and reduced engine

power. Only an authorized dealer will be able to correct

this condition.

ESSAGES

The following chart contains a list of different messages

that may appear in the instrument cluster, depending on

different system or fuel conditions. Use the descriptions to

interpret what the message means and determine the

best action to take.

WARNING LIGHTS AND MESSAGES

The warning/indicator lights will illuminate in the

instrument panel together with a dedicated message and/

or acoustic signal when applicable. These indications are

indicative and precautionary and as such must not be

considered as exhaustive and/or alternative to the

information contained in the Owner’s Manual, which you

are advised to read carefully in all cases. Always refer to

WARNING!

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as previously

referenced, can reach higher temperatures than in

normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you

drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as

dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in

death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or

others.

CAUTION!

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 previously mentioned instructions. Do not complete

the DPF regeneration process when the vehicle is

stopped.

CAUTION!

See an authorized dealer, as damage to the exhaust

system could occur soon with continued operation.

IGHTS

Air Bag Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate to indicate a

fault with the air bag, and will turn on for four to

eight seconds as a bulb check when the

ignition is placed in the ON/RUN or ACC/ON/

RUN position. This light will illuminate with a single chime

when a fault with the air bag has been detected, it will stay

on until the fault is cleared. If the light is not on during

startup, stays on, or turns on while driving, have the

system inspected at an authorized dealer as soon as

possible.

Brake Warning Light

This warning light monitors various brake

functions, including brake fluid level and

parking brake application. If the brake light

turns on it may indicate that the parking brake

is applied, that the brake fluid level is low, or that there is

a problem with the Anti-Lock Brake System reservoir.
If the light remains on when the parking brake has been

disengaged, and the fluid level is at the full mark on the

master cylinder reservoir, it indicates a possible brake

hydraulic system malfunction or that a problem with the

Brake Booster has been detected by the Anti-Lock Brake

System (ABS) / Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system.

In this case, the light will remain on until the condition has

been corrected. If the problem is related to the brake

booster, the ABS pump will run when applying the brake,

and a brake pedal pulsation may be felt during each stop.
The dual brake system provides a reserve braking capacity

in the event of a failure to a portion of the hydraulic

system. A leak in either half of the dual brake system is

indicated by the Brake Warning Light, which will turn on

when the brake fluid level in the master cylinder has

dropped below a specified level.
The light will remain on until the cause is corrected.

NOTE:

The light may flash momentarily during sharp cornering

maneuvers, which change fluid level conditions. The

vehicle should have service performed, and the brake

fluid level checked.
If brake failure is indicated, immediate repair is necessary.

Vehicles equipped with the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)

are also equipped with Electronic Brake Force Distribution

(EBD). In the event of an EBD failure, the Brake Warning

Light will turn on along with the ABS Light. Immediate

repair to the ABS system is required.

Operation of the Brake Warning Light can be checked by

turning the ignition switch from the OFF position to the

ON/RUN position. The light should illuminate for

approximately two seconds. The light should then turn off

unless the parking brake is applied or a brake fault is

detected. If the light does not illuminate, have the light

inspected by an authorized dealer.
The light also will turn on when the parking brake is

applied with the ignition switch in the ON/RUN position.

NOTE:

This light shows only that the parking brake is applied. It

does not show the degree of brake application.

Battery Charge Warning Light

This warning light will illuminate when the

battery is not charging properly. If it stays on

while the engine is running, there may be a

malfunction with the charging system. Contact

an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
This indicates a possible problem with the electrical

system or a related component.

Door Open Warning Light

This indicator will illuminate when a door is

ajar/open and not fully closed.

NOTE:

If the vehicle is moving, there will also be a single chime.

WARNING!

Driving a vehicle with the red brake light on is

dangerous. Part of the brake system may have failed. It

will take longer to stop the vehicle. You could have a

collision. Have the vehicle checked immediately.

System called OBD II that monitors engine and

automatic transmission control systems. This

warning light will illuminate when the ignition is

in the ON/RUN position before engine start. If the bulb

does not come on when turning the ignition switch from

OFF to ON/RUN, have the condition checked promptly.
Certain conditions, such as a loose or missing gas cap,

poor quality fuel, etc., may illuminate the light after engine

start. The vehicle should be serviced if the light stays on

through several typical driving styles. In most situations,

the vehicle will drive normally and will not require towing.
When the engine is running, the MIL may flash to alert

serious conditions that could lead to immediate loss of

power or severe catalytic converter damage. The vehicle

should be serviced by an authorized dealer as soon as

possible if this occurs.

A malfunctioning catalytic converter, as previously

referenced, can reach higher temperatures than in

normal operating conditions. This can cause a fire if you

drive slowly or park over flammable substances such as

dry plants, wood, cardboard, etc. This could result in

death or serious injury to the driver, occupants or

others.

CAUTION!

Prolonged driving with the Malfunction Indicator Light

(MIL) on could cause damage to the vehicle control

system. It also could affect fuel economy and

driveability. If the MIL is flashing, severe catalytic

converter damage and power loss will soon occur.

Immediate service is required.
