Auto Unlock On Exit — If Equipped This feature unlocks all of the doors of the vehicle when any door is opened. This will occur only after the vehicle has been shifted into the Park position after the vehicle has been driven (shifted out of Park and all doors closed).
8. If a chime is not hear d, program mode was canceled before the featur e could be changed. If necessary repeat the above procedur e. Child Protection Door Lock T o provide a safer envir onment for children riding in the rear seat, the r ear doors of your vehicle have the child- protection door lock system.
W ARNING! A void trapping anyone in a vehicle in a collision. Remember that the rear doors can only be opened from the outside when the child protection locks are engaged. NOTE: After setting the child protection door lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
WINDOWS Power Windows – If Equipped The control on the left fr ont door panel has up-down switches that give you fingertip control of all power windows. There is a single opening and closing switch on the front passenger door for passenger window contr ol and on the rear doors of Quad Cab and Mega Cab models.
W indow Lockout Switch (4 Door Models Only) The window lockout switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window control on the other doors. T o disable the window controls on the other doors, pr ess the window lock button. T o enable the window controls, press the window contr ol button again.
Sliding Rear Window – If Equipped A locking device in the center of the window helps to prevent entry fr om the rear of the vehicle. Squeeze the lock to release the window . Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the fr ont seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal inju- ries.
• A shoulder belt placed behind will not protect you from injury during a collision. Y ou are more likely to hit your head in a collision if you do not wear your shoulder belt. The lap and shoulder belt are meant to be used together . 4. Position the lap belt acr oss your thighs, below your abdomen.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Standard Cab Front Center Three Point Belt 1. The fr ont center seat belt on the Standard Cab may be disconnected to open up utilization of the storage areas behind the front seats. The black latch plate can be detached from the black keyed seat belt buckle located on the inboard side of the passenger seat.
W ARNING! • If the black latch and black buckle are not prop- erly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • When reattaching the black latch and black buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
W ARNING! If the black latch and buckle are not connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not restrain you properly . Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
Center Lap Belts The center seating position for the Quad Cab front seat has a lap belt only . T o fasten the lap belt, slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a ⬙ click. ⬙ T o lengthen the lap belt, tilt the latch plate and pull. T o remove slack, pull the loose end of the webbing.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the airbag contr ol module. Like the airbags, the pretensioners ar e single use items.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of starting the vehicle, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least thr ee times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. 4. T urn off the engine. A single chime will sound to signify that you have successfully completed the pro- gramming.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use the seat belt extender when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured because the airbags are not there to protect you. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are designed to open only when the airbags are in- flating.
airbag unless the airbag is turned off (Standar d Cab V ehicles Only). An airbag deployment can cause se- vere injury or death to infants in that position. See the Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch (If Equipped) sec- tion. • If your vehicle does not have a rear seat, see the Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch (If Equipped) sec- tion.
Airbag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Airbag Control Module • AIRBAG Readiness Light • Driver Airbag • Passenger Airbag (If Equipped) • Steering Wheel and C.
• If it detects a malfunction in any part of the system, it turns on the light either momen- tarily or continuously . The instrument clus- ter will flash the seat belt indicator if it detects a fault with the airbag indicator .
Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch – (Standard Cab V ehicles Only) (If Equipped) The passenger front airbag is to be turned of f only if the passenger: • is an infant (less than 1 year old) who must r.
W ARNING! Whenever an airbag is turned off, even a lap/ shoulder belted passenger may hit their head, neck, or chest on the dashboard (instrument panel) or windshield in a crash.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
Enhanced Accident Response System If the airbags deploy after an impact and the electrical system remains functional, vehicles equipped with power door locks will unlock automatically . In addition, approximately 10 seconds after the vehicle has stopped moving, the interior lights will light until the ignition switch is turned off.
NOTE: Perchlorate Material – special handling may apply , See www .dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/per chlorate Airbag Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in an impact.

Children 12 years and under should ride pr operly buck- led up in a rear seat, if available. According to crash statistics, children ar e safer when properly r estrained in the rear seats rather than in the fr ont. W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle.
infant carriers do, so they can be used rearwar d-facing by children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) but are less than one year old. • Rearward-facing child seats must NEVER be used in the front seat of a vehicle with a fr ont passenger airbag (if equipped) unless the airbag is turned off.
W ARNING! • Improper installation can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. It could come loose in a collision. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions ex- actly when installing an infant or child restraint.
Pull the belt from the r etractor until there is enough to allow you to pass through the child r estraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle. Then pull on the belt until it is all removed fr om the retractor . Allow the belt to return to the r etractor , pulling on the excess web- bing to tighten the lap portion about the child re- straint.
Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren (LA TCH) Each vehicle is equipped with the child restraint anchor - age system called LA TCH, which stands for Lower Anchors and T ether for CHildren. LA TCH child restraint anchorage systems are installed in the Standar d Cab passenger seat position and the Quad Cab rear seat outboard positions.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for some time.
of reach of childr en. It is recommended that befor e installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
rearwar d-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the strap. In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether anchorages.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence - (Quad Cab Rear Seats) 1. Obtain tether straps by raising the head r estraints and reaching between the r ear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band. Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly impr oved by raising the seat cushion to the “up” position.

attempting to start the engine. This can be accomplished by turning the ignition OFF for at least 5 seconds and then back ON after the W AIT TO ST ART light has gone off, but befor e the engine is started. However , repeated cycling of the manifold heaters will result in damage to the heater elements or reduced battery voltage.
NOTE: When a diesel engine is allowed to run out of fuel or the fuel gels at low temperatures, air is pulled into the fuel system. Y ou may try priming as described below . 1. Add a substantial quantity of fuel to the tank (5 to 10 gallons) or eliminate the gelled fuel condition.
Starting Fluids W ARNING! ST AR TING FLUIDS or flammable liquids are NEVER TO BE USED in the Cummins Diesel (see W arning label). Never pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister , air intake piping, or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle.
cycle of the intake manifold heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the cycling operation is controlled by the engine contr ol mod- ule, this time will not exceed 150 seconds. The needle should then stabilize at the approximate operation point.
NOTE: The engine requir es the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel” . Use of incorrect fuel could r esult in engine and exhaust system damage. Refer to Fuel Re- quirements in this section for further details on fuel recommendations. Engine Block Heater The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather .
W inter Front Usage If a winter front or cold weather cover is to be used, a percentage of the total grille opening ar ea must be left uncovered to pr ovide sufficient air flow to the char ge air cooler and automatic transmission oil cooler .
If temperatures ar e below 32°F (0°C), operate the engine at moderate speeds for 5 minutes before full loads ar e applied. Engine Idling — In Cold Weather A void prolonged idling in ambient temperatur es below 0°F .
Stopping The Engine Idle the engine a few minutes before r outine shutdown. After full load operation, idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it down. This idle period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant to carry excess heat away from the combustion chamber , bearings, internal components, and turbocharger .
Engine Speed Control CAUTION! Prevent overspeeding the engine going down hill. When descending steep grades, use a combination of gears and service brakes to control vehicle/engine speed.
• Up Steep Hills — select a lower transmission gear , but try and keep the torque converter clutch engaged. • Air Conditioning — turn it off temporarily . Do Not Operate The Engine W ith Low Oil Pressure When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the minimum oil pressur es requir ed are: Idle 700 to 800 RPM .
ENGINE BLOCK HEA TER — IF EQUIPPED The engine block heater warms engine coolant and permits quicker starts in cold weather . Connect the cord to a standard 1 10-1 15 volt AC electrical outlet with a grounded, thr ee-wire extension cor d. The engine block heater cord is r outed under the hood on the driver side of the vehicle.
NOTE: For optimum braking power it is recommended to use the Exhaust Brake while in T ow/Haul Mode. The purpose of the exhaust brake (engine braking) fea- ture is to supply negative (braking) tor que to the engine.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
W ARNING! Never use Park position on an automatic transmis- sion as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. W ARNING! Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P (Park).
“N” Neutral Shift to Neutral when the vehicle is standing for pro- longed periods with the engine running. The engine may be started in this range. Set the parking brake if you must leave the vehicle. “D” Drive This position provides all forwar d gears, including 3rd gear direct and 4th or 5th gear over drive (see Overdrive Operation).
• vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48 km/h); • the “TOW HAUL O/D OFF” switch has not been activated; • transmission has reached normal operating tempera- ture.

ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 313 5.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Under inflation, also increases tire r olling resistance and r esults in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, resulting in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es of Ram 4X2 trucks. NOTE: The use of class “U” chains is permitted on the front and r ear of 4X4, Ram T rucks with Dual Rear Wheels and L T235/80R17E tires.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never put any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
W ARNING! After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and location. While driving you may experience, abrupt stopping, rapid accelera- tion, or sharp turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move around with force, resulting in serious injury .
Preparations Park the vehicle on a firm level surface, avoiding ice or slippery areas. Set the parking brake and place the gear selector in P ARK (automatic transmission) or REVERSE (manual transmission). On four-wheel drive vehicles, shift the transfer case to the “4L” position.
Instructions W ARNING! Carefully follow these tire changing warnings to help prevent personal injury or damage to your vehicle: • Always park on a firm, level surface as far from the edge of the roadway as possible before raising the vehicle. • Block the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be raised.
When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack drive tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the extension tube. Securely place the jack under the sway bar bracket (unless both tire’s ar e flat on one side, then place jack under shock bracket) facing forward in vehicle.
4. By rotating the wheel wrench clockwise, raise the vehicle until the wheel just clears the surface. W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle unstable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
7. Install wheel center cap and remove wheel blocks. Do not install chrome or aluminum wheel center caps on the spare wheel. This may r esult in cap damage. 8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack will not lower by turning the dial (thumb wheel) by hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in order to lower the jack.
CAUTION! Use a back and forth motion to remove the hub cap. Do not use a twisting motion when removing the hub cap, damage to the hub cap finish may occur . CAUTION! The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel has two pry off notches. Make sure that the hook of the jack handle driver is located squarely in the cap notch before attempting to pull off.
Slots in the wheels will assist in properly orienting the inner and outer wheels. Align these slots when assem- bling the wheels for best access to the tire valve on the inner wheel. The tires of both dual wheels must be completely off the gr ound when tightening to insure wheel centering and maximum wheel clamping.
1. T ighten the wheel nuts in the numbered sequence to a snug fit. 2. Retighten the wheel nuts in the same sequence to the torques listed in the table. Go thr ough the sequence a second time to verify that specific torque has been achieved. Retighten to specifications at 100 miles (160 km) and after 500 miles (800 km).
wheel. The nuts should then be tightened to recom- mended torque. T ighten the nuts to final torque in increments. Pr ogress ar ound the bolt circle, tightening the nut opposite to the nut just previously tightened until final torque is achieved. Recommended tor ques are shown in the following chart.
JUMP-ST ARTING W ARNING! T o prevent personal injury or damage to clothing, do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or fabrics. Do not lean over a battery when connecting jumper cables or allow cable clamps to touch each other . Keep open flames or sparks away from battery vent holes.
CAUTION! Use the Jump Start Procedure only when the charge indicator (if equipped) in both batteries is dark in the center . Do not attempt jump starting when either battery charge indicator (if equipped) is bright or yellow .
2. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to negative (-) post of booster battery . Connect the other end of the jumper cable to a good ground on the engine block of the vehicle with the discharged battery . Make sure a good connection is made, free of dirt and gr ease.
W ARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: 1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent; 2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion; 3. Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle.
not freeing the vehicle, may lead to transmission over - heating and failure. Allow the engine to idle with the transmission selector in NEUTRAL for at least one minute after every five rocking-motion cycles. This will minimize overheating and r educe the risk of transmis- sion failure during pr olonged efforts to fr ee a stuck vehicle.
CAUTION! T ow hooks are for emergency use only , to rescue a vehicle stranded off road. Do not use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. Y ou could damage your vehicle. TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Proper towing or lifting equipment is r equired to prevent damage to your vehicle.

Emission-Related Components (Gas Engines) Positive Crankcase (PCV) V alve Proper operation of the crankcase ventilation system requir es that the PCV valve be free of sticking or plug- ging from deposits. Deposits can accumulate in the PCV valve and passages with increasing mileage.
CAUTION! • It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
W ARNING! Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories con- tain lead and lead compounds. Always wash hands after handling the battery . Battery Blanket Usage A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the battery temperature decr eases to 0°F (-18°).
W ARNING! • Use only refrigerants and compressor lubricants approved by the manufacturer for your air condi- tioning system. Some unapproved refrigerants are flammable and can explode, injuring you. Other unapproved refrigerants or lubricants can cause the system to fail, requiring costly repairs.
W ARNING! Fluid level should be checked on a level surface and with the engine off to prevent injury from moving parts and to insure accurate fluid level reading. Do not overfill. Use only manufacturers recommended power steering fluid. If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level.
Front Axle Universal Drive Joints And Pivot Bearings The front axle universal joint and pivot bearings ar e permanently lubricated and do not requir e servicing.
Windshield Wiper Blades The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner . This will remove accu- mulations of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
After the engine has warmed, operate the defroster for a few minutes to reduce the possibility of smearing or freezing the fluid on the cold windshield.

Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool.
oil cooler . The percentage of opening must be incr eased with the increasing ambient air temperatur e and/or engine load. If the cooling fan can be heard cycling frequently , increase the size of the opening in the winter front.
If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner . Follow with a thorough rinsing to r emove all deposits and chemicals.
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles before replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove the cap to cool an overheated engine. Heat causes pressure to build up in the cooling system.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for coolant freeze point or r eplacing coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
• Make sure that the radiator and coolant r ecovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstr ucted. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean, also. • Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation.

Brake System Power Disc Brakes (Front and Rear) Disc brakes do not requir e adjustment; however , several hard stops during the br eak-in period are r ecommended to seat the linings and wear off any for eign material.
W ARNING! W orn brake hoses can burst and cause brake failure. Y ou could have an accident. If you see any signs of cracking, scuffing, or worn spots, have the brake hoses replaced immediately .
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from for eign matter or moisture.
When checking the fluid level, the vehicle should be in a level position. The fluid level should be 1/4” ± 1/4” (6.4 mm ± 6.4 mm) below the fill hole on the 9.25” Front Axle. The fluid level should be 3/4” ± 1/4” (19 mm ± 6.4 mm) below the fill hole on 1 1.
Manual T ransmission — If Equipped Lubricant Selection for 6-Speed Manual T ransmission — If Equipped If it becomes necessary to add fluid or change the fluid, be sure to use the same lubricant or equivalent. Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct lubricant type.
Fluid Level Check – 545RFE T ransmission Check the fluid level while the transmission is at normal operating temperature 180° F (82° C). This occurs after at least 15 mi (25 km) of driving. At normal operating temperature the fluid cannot be held comfortably be- tween the fingertips.
refer ence holes when the transmission reaches 180° F (21° C). Remember it is best to check the level at the normal operating temperature. CAUTION! Be aware that if the fluid temperature is below 50° F (10° C), it may not register on the dipstick.
Special Additives The manufacturer r ecommends against the addition of any additives to the transmission. Exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks. The use of transmission sealers should be avoided, since they may adversely affect seals.
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level T o properly check the automatic transmission fluid level, the following procedur e must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. Operate the engine at idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds and normal operating temperature.
the fluid level is correctly established at r oom tempera- ture, it should be between the HOT (upper) r eference holes when the transmission reaches 160° F - 175° F (70° C – 82° C). Remember it is best to check the level at the normal operating temperature.
The fluid and filter(s) should be changed and the bands adjusted (if equipped) as specified in the Maintenance Schedule (Section 8). V ehicles equipped with gas engines having severe usage should follow Maintenance Sched- ule “B” of the Maintenance Schedule (Section 8).
Rear Wheel Bearings — Manufacturer’s Axles These bearings are normally consider ed permanently lubricated. Cleaning and repacking is r equired only when axle shafts are r emoved or in case of extreme water or dust contamination.
