DIESEL INSTRUMENT CLUSTER
1. Tachometer
○
Indicates the engine speed in revolutions per
minute (RPM x 1000).
2. Instrument Cluster Display
○
When the appropriate conditions exist, this dis-
play shows the instrument cluster display mes-
sages
page 78.
○
The display always shows one of the main menu
item after the ignition is placed on.
3. Speedometer
○
Indicates vehicle speed.
4. Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Gauge
○
The DEF Gauge displays the actual level of Die-
sel 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 dis-
played. More information is available in the
instrument cluster display section under the
heading of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) Warning
Messages.
NOTE:
○
The DEF tank on these vehicles is designed with
a large amount of full reserve. So the level sen-
sor 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 sys-
tem, 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 pos-
sibly 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.
5. Fuel Gauge
○
The pointer shows the level of fuel in the fuel
tank when the ignition switch is in the ON/RUN
position.
○
The fuel pump symbol points to the
side of the vehicle where the fuel
filler door is located.
NOTE:
The Instrument Cluster Warning Indicators will illumi-
nate briefly for a bulb check when the ignition is first
cycled.
