Performance and Maintenance

Driving for Better Fuel Economy

Economical Driving

How you drive, where you drive and when you drive all affect fuel economy.

For diesel vehicles, driving too fast, driving so slowly that the engine knocks, driving with the exhaust brake switched on all the time, and frequently using the exhaust brake to adjust your speed can lead to poor fuel economy.

Drive at a constant speed as much as possible. When accelerating, increase your speed gently and slowly, and up-shift early.

Maintain a constant cruising speed, as traffic allows, and avoid sudden stops.

Chevrolet Low Cab Forward Owner Manual (GMNA-Localizing-U.S.-

10399647) - 2016 - crc - 5/25/16

26 In Brief

Frequent short trips, excessive idling and use of the air conditioner in cool weather when "Vent" would provide adequate comfort, can all lead to decreased fuel economy.

Warming up the engine for longer than necessary, driving with the vehicle overloaded and revving the engine are a waste of fuel.

Overcooling of the engine not only accelerates wear of the vital engine parts but also hurts fuel economy.

The careful attention you give your vehicle, as far as maintenance is concerned, will also help fuel economy.

Protection of Engine against Overcooling

Overcooling of the engine not only accelerates wear of the vital engine parts but also hurts fuel economy.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used with diesel engines to reduce the amount of regulated emissions produced. The DEF system must be maintained for the vehicle to run properly.

DEF is not a fuel additive. For refilling instructions, see Diesel Exhaust Fluid 0 182. DEF should not be mixed with or added to diesel fuel. DEF freezes when exposed to temperature below −11 °C (12 ° F).

Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid

DEF can be purchased at a dealer. It can also be purchased at authorized vehicle and truck dealerships. Additionally, some diesel truck fueling stations or retailers may have DEF for purchase. See Recommended Fluids and Lubricants 0 358.

When the remaining level of DEF becomes excessively low the DEF gauge will change color from green to amber. In addition, warning and indicator lights will come on as shown in the table and engine power will be reduced so the vehicle speed will not exceed 89 km/h (55 MPH). See Diesel Exhaust Fluid 0 182.

1. Main Key

2. Spare Key

3. Metal plate with key code

One key (1) can operate all the locks on the vehicle. Keep one of the two keys provided as a spare (2). Record the key code numbers.

Both sides of the key are identical, so you can insert the key in the engine control switch without worrying about which way you insert it.

The key code is indicated on a separate metal plate (3) in order to prevent it from being acquired by an unauthorized person.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System

See Radio Frequency Statement 0 381.

If there is a decrease in the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) operating range:

Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far from the vehicle.

Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.

Check the transmitter's battery. See “Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control Unit” later in this section.

If the transmitter is still not working correctly, see your dealer or a qualified technician for service.

Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) System Operation

The keyless entry system allows you to lock/unlock the doors by simply pressing the remote control button rather than inserting the key into the lock.

The remote control unit works within a 10 m (33 ft) radius of the cab center as indicated in the figure. The actual distance over which the unit operates may vary depending on conditions.

Locking

Should you lose the remote control unit, please contact your dealer.

After locking the doors using the remote control unit, be sure to check that they are locked by pulling the door handles.

Avoid getting water on the remote control unit, dropping it, hitting it against another object, or stepping on it; otherwise, the remote control unit could malfunction.

Do not leave the remote control unit on the dashboard or any other surface where the unit might be exposed to high temperatures (exceeding 60°C/140°F). Doing so may result in shorter battery life or malfunction of the remote control unit.

If the keyless entry system fails to operate normally, lock and unlock the doors using the key and have the system inspected by your dealer.

The lock or unlock buttons on the remote control unit must be fully pressed for more than 1 second to work.

If you do not open any doors within about 30 seconds after pressing the unlock button to unlock the doors, the automatic locking function of the system will lock the doors again to prevent theft.

In areas near a TV tower, electric power plant, radio station, etc. or under any conditions involving strong electrical disturbances, the remote control unit operating range might change or the keyless entry system might not work.

The keyless entry system does not operate in the following cases:

The engine control switch is in the "ON" position.

The key is inserted in the engine control switch.

One of the doors is open.

Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control Unit

When the battery runs down, replace it. Battery life is approximately two years.
