Engine Shutdown System (Option)
Your truck may be equipped with the optional engine shut-
down system. This system continually monitors engine cool-
ant temperature and oil pressure to protect the engine from
dangerous conditions.
• After the engine starts, a warning alarm sounds; this is
normal because of the lack of oil pressure when first
starting the engine. As soon as oil pressure increases,
the buzzer turns off.
• During engine operation, if the oil pressure drops below
idle pressure or the coolant temperature climbs to a dan-
gerous level, the engine will shut down automatically—
sounding the alarm and turning the appropriate warning
light on.
• If the engine shuts down automatically or if the buzzer
and light turn on while the engine is running, drive the
vehicle to a safe stop off the highway to investigate the
problem.
CAUTION: Do not re-start your engine unless it
is necessary to move your truck to a safe loca-
tion. The low oil pressure or high engine tem-
perature condition could cause serious engine
damage.
• If it’s necessary to move the vehicle, hold the manual
override switch up while starting your engine. The alarm
will continue to sound.
• Operate the engine as little as possible until you have it
serviced at an Authorized Service Center.
