WARNING LIGHTS AND CHIMES

Warning lights and gauges can alert you to a vehicle condition that may become serious enough to cause expensive repairs. A warning light may illuminate when a problem exists with one of your vehicle’s functions. Many lights will illuminate when you start your vehicle to make sure the bulb works. If any light remains on after starting the vehicle, have the respective system inspected immediately.

Note: The instrument cluster will self-test when the ignition is turned on. During this self-test you may hear an audio buzz and/or the gauges will sweep. This is normal operation

Stop engine: If this red warning light illuminates while driving, a high coolant temperature/low coolant level, low engine oil pressure or high diesel particulate filter soot loading may exist. An audible tone will also sound when this light is illuminated. Safely pull off the road as soon as possible and stop the engine. Continuing to drive while this light is illuminated may result in extensive engine damage. Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.

2008 Low Cab Forward Truck (lcf) Supplement USA (fus)

Instrument Cluster

Check engine: If this yellow warning light illuminates while driving, a problem in the electronic engine controls has been detected or the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) needs a parked regeneration (refer to Diesel Particulate Filter [DPF] in the Maintenance and Specifications chapter for more information). Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.

Service Engine Soon: This yellow warning light will illuminate to display any emissions-related issues. Contact your dealership or authorized service center as soon as possible.

Wait to start: With the key in the ON position, this yellow light will illuminate if the glow plug heat is necessary as a starting aid. Wait until the light goes off before starting. The light should always illuminate briefly, when the ignition key is in the ON position. Refer to Starting the engine and Cold weather operation in the Driving chapter. After the engine starts, the light should remain off. The light should always illuminate at least momentarily when the engine is cold and the ignition is turned to ON. If it does not illuminate, the glow plug system should be checked and repaired promptly to avoid difficulty in cold starting.

To reduce the risk of death or personal injury and the potential

for damage to the engine, do not use volatile starting aids such as ether, propane or gasoline in the air intake system. The glow plugs will ignite any of the vapors.
