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 威 , Mega Cab 威 and Crew Cab models.
W ARNING! Never leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving unattended children in a vehicle is dangerous for a number of reasons. A child or others could be seri- ously or fatally injured. Don’t leave the key in the ignition. A child could operate power windows, other controls, or move the vehicle.
rough r oad conditions may trigger the auto reverse function unexpectedly during auto closure. If this happens, pull the switch lightly to the first detent and hold to close the window manually .
Wind Buffeting W ind buffeting can be described as the per ception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter-type sound in the ears. Y our vehicle may exhibit wind buffeting with the windows down or in partially open positions. This is a normal occurrence and can be minimized.
NOTE: The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. Please pay close attention to the information in this section. It tells you how to use your restraint system properly , to keep you and your passengers as safe as possible.
collision the belt will lock and reduce the risk of you striking the inside of the vehicle or being thrown out. W ARNING! • It is 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.
2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go around your lap. 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 injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you properly .
4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. T o remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up on the shoulder belt. T o loosen the lap belt if it is too tight, tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt. A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.
5. Position the shoulder belt on your chest so that it is comfortable and not resting on your neck. The r etractor will withdraw any slack in the belt. 6. T o release the belt, push the r ed button on the buckle. The belt will automatically retract to its stowed position.
Regular Cab Front Center Three Point Belt 1. The front center seat belt on the Regular 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 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.
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. Squeeze the anchorage button lo- cated on the upper belt guide to release the anchorage, and then move it up or down to the position that fits you best.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too loose or too high is dangerous. • A belt worn too loose can allow you to slip down and under the belt in a collision. • A belt that is too loose or too high will apply crash forces to the abdomen, not to the stronger hip bones.
Seat Belts In Passenger Seating Positions The seat belts in the passenger seating positions are equipped with Automatic Locking Retractors (ALR) which are used to secur e a child restraint system. For additional information refer to “Installing Child Re- straints Using the V ehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints” section.
The pretensioners ar e triggered by the Occupant Re- straint Controller (ORC). Like the airbags, the pr etension- ers are single use items. A deployed pretensioner or a deployed airbag must be replaced immediately .
NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt Reminder Light to turn on while the seat belt retracts and turn of f while re- buckling the seat belt. 4. T urn the ignition switch to the LOCK position. A single chime will sound to signify that you have success- fully completed the programming.
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.
The Advanced Front Airbags have a multistage inflator design. This allows the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation based on the severity and type of collision. This vehicle may be equipped with driver and/or front passenger seat track position sensors that may adjust the inflation rate of the Advanced Front Airbags based upon seat position.
• Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtains (SABIC) • Front and Side Impact Sensors • Front Seat Belt Pr etensioners, Seat Belt Buckle Switch, and Seat T rack Position Sensors Advanced Front Airbag Features The Advanced Front Airbag system has multistage driver and front passenger airbags.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Do not mount any accessories to the knee bolster such as alarm lights, stereos, citizen band radios, etc. Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC) — If Equipped SABIC airbags may offer side-impact pr otection to front and rear seat outboar d occupants in addition to that provided by the body str ucture.
W ARNING! • If your vehicle is equipped with left and right Supplemental Side Airbag Inflatable Curtain (SABIC), do not stack luggage or other cargo up high enough to block the location of the SABIC. The area where the SABIC is located should re- main free from any obstructions.
Children that ar e not big enough to wear the vehicle seat belt properly (see Section on Child Restraints) should be secured in the r ear seat in child restraints or belt- positioning booster seats. Older children who do not use child restraints or belt-positioning booster seats should ride properly buckled up in the r ear seat.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions, the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
The Advanced Front Airbags will not deploy in all frontal collisions, including some that may produce substantial vehicle damage — for example, some pole collisions, truck underrides, and angle of fset collisions.
It also includes diagnostics that will illuminate the instru- ment cluster Airbag W arning Light if a malfunction is noted that could affect the airbag system.
A quantity of non-toxic gas is generated to inflate the side curtain airbag. The inflating side curtain airbag pushes the outside edge of the headliner out of the way and covers the window .
NOTE: Front and/or side airbags will not deploy in all collisions. This does not mean something is wrong with the airbag system. If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
Airbag W arning Light Y ou will want to have the airbags ready to inflate for your protection in a collision. While the airbag system is designed to be mainte- nance free, if any of the following occurs, have an authorized dealer service the system immediately .

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 seat back tether anchorage have been available for some time.
reach. If the buckled seat belt interfer es with the child restraint installation, instead of tucking the seat belt behind the child restraint, r oute the seat belt through the child restraint belt path and then buckle it. This should stow the seat belt out of the reach of an inquisitive child.
W e urge you to car efully follow the directions of the manufacturer when installing your child r estraint. Many , but not all, restraint systems will be equipped with separate straps on each side, with each having a hook or connector , and a means for adjusting the tension in the strap.
then allow the belt to retract into the r etractor . For additional information on ALR, refer to “Automatic Locking Mode”. T o install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the r etractor to route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the buckle.
T ether Anchorage Points at the Right and Center Front Seat (Regular Cab - All Seats) 1. Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach over the seat back under the head restraint to the tether anchor dir ectly behind the seat.
Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence (Quad Cab 威 /Crew Cab/Mega Cab 威 - Rear Seats) Quad Cab 威 /Mega Cab 威 1. Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the r ear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band.
4. Route each tether strap to the anchor behind the center seat, and attach the hooks to the metal ring. 5. Place a child restraint on the center r ear seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor dir ectly behind the seat and to the anchor directly behind the right seat.
Crew Cab 1. The tether straps loops are located between the r ear glass and the rear seat. Ther e is a tether strap loop located behind each seating position. Y ou can gain access to the center seating position tether strap loop by raising the head restraint and r eaching between the rear glass and rear seat.
3. Pass each tether strap hook under the head restraint and through the loop of webbing behind the child seat. 4. Route each tether strap through the tether strap loop behind the center seat, and attach the hooks to the anchor located directly behind the center r ear seat located under a plastic cover .

ST ARTING PROCEDURES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belt. The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating.
If Engine Fails T o Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the “Normal Starting” procedur e, it may be flooded. Push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. This should clear any excess fuel in case the engine is flooded.
accelerator pedal pushed all the way to the floor . Release the accelerator pedal and the key fob once the engine is running smoothly . If the engine shows no sign of starting after two 15- second periods of cranking with the accelerator pedal held to the floor , the “Normal Starting” procedure should be repeated.
W ARNING! Remember to disconnect the cord before driving. Damage to the 1 10-115 V olt electrical cord could cause electrocution. AUTOMA TIC TRANSMISSION CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the follow- ing precautions are not observed: • Shift into P ARK only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop.
Key Ignition Park Interlock This vehicle is equipped with a Key Ignition Park Inter- lock which requir es the shift lever to be placed in P ARK prior to turning the key fob to the LOCK position. The key fob can only be removed fr om the ignition switch when the ignition is in the LOCK position and once removed the shift lever is locked in P ARK.
5. Using a screwdriver or other suitable tool, pr ess and hold the override tab through the access port (ringed circle) on the bottom of the steering column. 6. Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position. 7. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL.
5. Move the shift lever into the NEUTRAL position. 6. The vehicle may then be started in NEUTRAL. 7. Reinstall the override cover . Four–Speed Automatic T ransmission – If Equipped NOTE: Under extremely cold temperatur es (-6°F (-21°C) and when in DRIVE, transmission operation may be briefly limited to only second gear operation.
P ARK This range supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use P ARK while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply the parking brake first, then place the shift lever in the P ARK position.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the transmission into P ARK, remove the key fob from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
1 (First) This range is for hard pulling at low speeds in mud, sand, snow , or on steep grades. Begins and stays in low gear with no upshift. Provides engine compr ession braking at low speeds. Overdrive Operation The Overdrive automatic transmission contains an elec- tronically contr olled fourth gear (OVERDRIVE).
The transmission will downshift from OVERDRIVE to DRIVE if the accelerator pedal is fully pressed at vehicle speeds above approximately 35 mph (56 km/h). When T o Use TOW/HAUL Mode When driving in hilly areas, towing a trailer , carrying a heavy load, etc.
T ransmission Limp Home Mode T ransmission function is monitored for abnormal condi- tions. If a condition is detected that could result in transmission damage, the T ransmission Limp Home Mode will be engaged. In this mode, the transmission will operate (when in DRIVE) in second gear only .
equipped). Y ou must press the brake pedal to move the shift lever out of the P ARK position. T o drive, move the shift lever from P ARK or NEUTRAL to the DRIVE position. Pull the shift lever toward you when shifting into REVERSE or P ARK, or when shifting out of P ARK.
On vehicles equipped with 4.7L or 5.7L engines, use of ERS (or TOW/HAUL mode) also enables an additional underdrive gear which is not normally used during through-gear accelerations. This additional gear im- proves vehicle performance and cooling capability when towing a trailer on certain grades.
W ARNING! Do not downshift for additional engine braking on a slippery surface. The drive wheels could lose their grip and the vehicle could skid. Screen Display 1234 5 * D Actual Gear(s) Allowed 1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-5 * Applies to vehicles equipped with 4.
W ARNING! • Never use the P ARK position as a substitute for the parking brake. Always apply the parking brake fully when parked to guard against vehicle movement and possible injury or damage. • Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Unintended movement of a vehicle could injure those in and near the vehicle. As with all vehicles, you should never exit a vehicle while the engine is running. Before exiting a vehicle, you should always shift the transmission into P ARK, remove the key fob from the ignition, and apply the parking brake.
• the engine coolant (antifreeze) has r eached normal operating temperature; • vehicle speed is above approximately 30 mph (48 km/h); • the TOW/HAUL switch has not been activated; • transmission has reached normal operating temperature.
Shifts into Overdrive (fourth gear) ar e allowed during steady cruise (for impr oved fuel economy) and automatic closed-throttle downshifts to thir d gear are performed (for improved braking) when driving conditions warrant. The “TOW/HAUL Indicator Light” will illuminate in the instrument cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated.
torque converter clutch is not engaged, it may seem as if the transmission is not shifting into Overdrive when cold. This is normal. Pressing the T OW/HAUL switch when the transmission is sufficiently warm will dem- onstrate that the transmission is able to shift into and out of Overdrive.
moving the shift lever to the desired positions. The 4H and 4L positions are intended for loose, slippery r oad surfaces only . Driving in the 4H and 4L positions on dry , hard surfaced r oads may cause increased tire wear and damage to the driveline components.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move regardless of the transmission position.
Shifting Procedure – Manually Shifted T ransfer Case 2H ⇔ 4H Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the vehicle stopped or in motion. If the vehicle is in motion, shifts can be made up to 55 mph (88 km/h).
T ransfer Case Position Indicator Light The “T ransfer Case Position Indicator Light” in the instrument cluster is used to alert the driver that the fr ont axle is fully engaged and all four wheels are driving.
• Neutral (NEUTRAL) This electronically shifted transfer case is designed to be driven in the two-wheel drive position (2WD) for normal street and highway conditions on dry , hard surfaced roads.
3. When the shift is complete, the indicator light for the selected position will stop flashing and remain ON. If One Or More Shift Conditions Are Not Met: 1. The indicator light for the current position will r emain ON. 2. The newly selected position indicator light will con- tinue to flash.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW , the engine speed is approximately thr ee times that of the 2WD or 4WD LOCK positions at a given road speed. T ake care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Proper operation of four -wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel.
4WD LOCK Four-Wheel Drive Lock Range - This range locks the fr ont and rear driveshafts together for cing the front and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. This range pr ovides additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only . 4WD LOW Four-Wheel Drive Low Range - This range pr ovides low speed four-wheel drive.
When the shift is complete, the position indicator light for the selected position will stop flashing and remain ON. 2WD ⇔ 4WD LOCK Rotate the 4WD control switch to the desir ed position. Shifts between 2WD and 4WD LOCK can be done with the vehicle stopped or in motion.
3. While still rolling, r otate the transfer case control switch to the desired position. 4. After the desired position indicator light is ON (not flashing), shift the transmission back into gear . Alternate Procedure 1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
This electronically shifted transfer case pr ovides five mode positions: • T wo-wheel drive high range (2WD) • Four-wheel drive automatic range (4WD AUTO) • Four-wheel drive lock range (4WD LOCK.
the front and r ear driveshafts together forcing the front and rear wheels to r otate at the same speed. This is accomplished by rotating the 4WD Contr ol Switch to the desired position. Refer to “Shifting Pr ocedure” for spe- cific shifting instructions.
2. The newly selected position indicator light will con- tinue to flash. 3. The transfer case will not shift. NOTE: Before r etrying a selection, make certain that all the necessary requir ements for selecting a new transfer case position have been met.
Proper operation of four -wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel. Any difference in tir e size can cause damage to the transfer case. Because four-wheel drive pr ovides improved traction, there is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.
4WD LOW Four-Wheel Drive Low Range - This range pr ovides low speed four-wheel drive. Locks the fr ont and rear drive- shafts together forcing the fr ont and rear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction and maximum pulling power for loose, slippery road surfaces only .
the vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/ disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelera- tor pedal after turning the control switch. If the vehicle is stopped, the ignition switch must be in the ON position with the engine either running or OFF .
NOTE: If Steps 1 or 2 of either the Preferr ed or Alternate Procedur e are not satisfied prior to attempting the shift or if they no longer are being met while the shift attempt is in process, the desir ed position indicator light will flash continuously while the original position indicator light is ON, until all requir ements have been met.
The locking axles are contr olled by the axle locker switch. The switch has three positions, AXLE UNLOCK, REAR LOCK, and FRONT/REAR LOCK. Under normal driv- ing conditions, the switch should be left in the AXLE UNLOCK position. In the AXLE UNLOCK position, the front and r ear axles are unlocked.
W ARNING! Do not use the locked axle position for normal driving. A locked front axle is intended for of f-road driving only . Locking the front axle during on-road driving will reduce the steering ability . This could cause an accident and you may be seriously injured.
(OR V) trails or recr eation areas. Y ou should always tread lightly and only use established roads, trails or OR V recr eational areas. The National Forest Service, Bur eau of Land Management or local Department of Natural Re- sources ar e a wealth of information and usually have maps with marked trails.
CAUTION! The door sill height is 25 inches. W ater may intrude into the interior of the vehicle at greater depths. Simultaneous Brake And Throttle Operation Many off-r oad driving conditions require the simulta- neous use of the brake and throttle (two footed driving).
W ARNING! Always wear your seat belt and firmly tie down cargo. Unsecured cargo can become projectiles in an off-road situation. When T o Use Low Range When driving off-r oad, shift into 4L (Low Range) for additional traction or to improve handling and contr ol on slippery or difficult terrain.
CAUTION! On icy or slippery roads, do not downshift at high engine RPMs or vehicle speeds because engine brak- ing may cause skidding and loss of control. • Mud – Deep mud creates a gr eat deal of suction around the tir es and is very difficult to get through.
CAUTION! Reduced tire pressures may cause tire unseating and total loss of air pressure. T o reduce the risk of tire unseating, while at a reduced tire pressure, reduce your speed and avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu- vers. Crossing Obstacles (Rocks And Other High Points) While driving off r oad, you will encounter many types of terrain.
Crossing Large Rocks When approaching lar ge rocks, choose a path which ensures you drive over the lar gest with your tires. This will lift your undercarriage over the obstacle. The tr ead of the tire is tougher and thicker than the side wall and is designed to take the abuse.
accelerator to avoid spinning the log out from under your tires. Then ease the vehicle of f the log using your brakes. CAUTION! Do not attempt to cross a log with a greater diameter than the running ground clearance or the vehicle will become high centered.
the vehicle if something goes wrong? If everything looks good and you feel confident, then change trans- mission into a lower gear , shift the transfer case into 4L (Low) and proceed with caution. Y ou should use first gear and 4L (Low Range) for very steep hills.
ability to proceed then make sur e you are in 4L (Low Range) with the transmission in first gear (manually select first gear on automatic transmissions) and pro- ceed with caution. Allow engine braking to control the descent and apply your brakes if necessary , but do not allow the tires to lock.
W ARNING! If the engine stalls or you lose headway or cannot make it to the top of a steep hill or grade, never attempt to turn around. T o do so may result in tipping and rolling the vehicle, which may result in severe injury . Always back carefully straight down a hill in REVERSE.
CAUTION! W ater ingestion into the axles, transmission, transfer case, engine or vehicle interior can occur if you drive too fast or through too deep of water .
CAUTION! Muddy waters can reduce the cooling system effec- tiveness by depositing debris onto the radiator . • Crossing Ditches, Streams, Shallow Rivers Or Other Flowing W ater – Flowing water can be extremely dangerous. Never attempt to cr oss a fast running stream or river even in shallow water .
form to the ground contour . Differ ent terrain, tires, and vehicles requir e different tir e pressur e. Hard surfaces like rock and heavier vehicles r equire higher pressur es than softer surfaces such as sand and lighter vehicles. Y ou will need to experiment to determine what is right for your situation.
vehicle impingement on the surroundings, then using a tow strap to the vehicle tow hooks would be fast and easy . If the vehicle is severely hung up or in a situation where gr eat care needs to be taken during the recovery , then nothing can do the job better than a winch.
CAUTION! Damage can occur when spinning your tires at an excessive high speed. Do not spin your tires faster than an indicated 35 mph (56 km/h). • Using the T ow Hooks With a T ow Strap – T ow straps are a quick and easy way to r ecover your vehicle from minor situations if you have a secondary vehicle which is not stuck.
W ARNING! Never use tow straps with end hooks or link two straps with a clevis pin. These heavy metal objects could become projectiles if a strap breaks, which could cause severe injury . Never leave more than two or three feet of slack in the strap. More slack than this greatly increases the risk of injury and vehicle dam- age.
as you power the winch in. Be careful not to allow slack in the cable as you recover the vehicle. Do not try to guide the cable into the drum. If it starts to bunch up on one end, let it. Y ou can re-spool the cable afterwards. Never use a winch cable as a tow strap and always stand back while winching.
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water , or similar dirty conditions, have the radiator , fan, brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.
W ARNING! On vehicles equipped with a limited-slip differential never run the engine with one rear wheel off the ground since the vehicle may drive through the rear wheel remaining on the ground. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle. Care should be taken to avoid sudden accelerations when both rear wheels ar e on a slippery surface.
Flowing/Rising W ater W ARNING! Do not drive on or across a road or path where water is flowing and/or rising (as in storm run-off). Flow- ing water can wear away the road or path’s surface and cause your vehicle to sink into deeper water . Furthermore, flowing and/or rising water can carry your vehicle away swiftly .
CAUTION! (Continued) • Driving through standing water may cause dam- age to your vehicle’ s drivetrain components. Al- ways inspect your vehicle’ s fluids (i.e., engine oil, transmission, axle, etc.) for signs of contamination (i.e., fluid that is milky or foamy in appearance) after driving through standing water .
OFF-ROAD DRIVING TIPS Care should be taken when attempting to climb steep hills or driving diagonally across a hill or slope. If natural obstacles force you to travel diagonally up or down a hill, choose a mild angle and keep as little side tilt as possible.
• After extended operation in mud, sand, water , or similar dirty conditions, have the radiator , fan, brake rotors, wheels, brake linings, and axle yokes inspected and cleaned as soon as possible. W ARNING! Abrasive material in any part of the brakes may cause excessive wear or unpredictable braking.
2. Attach the hook to a suitable anchor point. CAUTION! Be certain the anchor will withstand the load re- quired to tension the wire rope. 3. Apply at least 500 lbs (227 kg) of tension to the rope while winding the rope. Always use care to ensur e the rope does not pile up on one side of the dr um and is neatly wound onto the drum.
Understanding The Features Of Y our Winch W inch Components 360 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
1. Motor: The winch motor is powered by the vehicle charging system and featur es a thermal protection switch that automatically stops motor function in the power-in direction if the motor gets too hot. 2. Remote Socket: The remote socket allows the r emote control to be attached to the contr ol pack to allow the winch to function.
Winch Accessories The following accessories are necessary to attach the winch to anchors, change direction of pull, and for safe winching. Gloves: W ire r ope, through use, will develop ⬙ barbs ⬙ which can slice skin. It is ex- tremely important to wear protective gloves while oper - ating the winch or handling the wire r ope.
Clevis/D-Shackles: The D-Shackle is a safe means of connecting the looped ends of cables, straps and snatch blocks. The shackle’s pin is threaded to allow easy r e- moval.
W ARNING! (Continued) • Always stand clear of wire rope and load and keep others away during winching. • Always keep hands and clothing clear of the wire rope, hook and fairlead opening during operation and when spooling. • Never wrap wire rope back onto itself.
2. Always take your time when using a winch. 3. Use the right equipment for the situation. 4. Always wear leather gloves and do not allow the wire rope to slip thr ough your hands when handling the rope. 5. Only the operator should handle the wire r ope and remote contr ol.
CAUTION! (Continued) • Always keep remote control lead clear of the drum, wire rope and rigging. • Inspect for cracks, pinches, frayed wires, or loose connections. Replace if damaged. • Be careful not to pull the W inch Cable Collar through the rollers.
3. Disengage the clutch to allow fr ee spooling of the winch drum, r otate the clutch lever on the winch to disengage. Freespooling conserves battery power . 4. Free the winch hook and attach the hook strap. Fr ee the winch hook from its anchor point.
5. Pull the wire to the anchor point. Pull out enough wir e rope to r each your anchor point. Be sure to keep a certain amount of tension on the wire as it can become twisted and over-wrapped when slackened, leading to wir e rope damage. T o prevent losing the end, hold the hook strap while you work.
CAUTION! Always be certain the anchor you select will with- stand the load. NOTE: How to choose an anchor point: A secure anchor is critical to winching operations. An anchor must be strong enough to hold while winching. Natural an- chors include trees, stumps and r ocks.
NOTE: Always ensure the clutch is fully engaged or disengaged. 9. Connect the remote contr ol to the winch control box, located behind the front bumper .
1 1. Check your anchor . Make sure all connections ar e secured and fr ee of debris before continuing with the winching procedur e. 12. Check wire r ope. The wire rope should be neatly wound around the spooling dr um. Improper winding can cause damage to the wire r ope.
13. In certain situations you may decide to throw a heavy blanket or similar object over the wire r ope. A heavy blan- ket can absorb energy should the wire r ope break. Place it on the wire r ope midway be- tween the winch and the an- chor point. Do this before the wire r ope is put under ten- sion.
For additional assistance, the winched vehicle can be slowly driven while being pulled by the winch. Continue pulling until the vehicle is on stable ground. If you ar e able to drive the vehicle, the winching operation is complete. NOTE: • A void overheating the winch motor .
section of the rope and r eposition it to the opposite end of the drum, which will fr ee up space for continued winching. 16. Secure vehicle. Once r ecovery of the vehicle’s is complete, be sure to secur e the vehicle’s brakes and put the transmission in P ARK.
NOTE: How to spool under no load: Arrange the remote contr ol lead so it cannot be caught in the winch. Arrange the wire r ope so it will not kink or tangle when spooled. Be sure any wir e rope already on the spooling drum is wound tightly and evenly layer ed.
Rigging T echniques V arious winching situations will requir e application of other winching techniques. These could range from too little distance to achieve maximum pull using straight line rigging, simply increasing pulling power , or main- taining a straight-line pulling situation.
will enable you to change your pulling direction while still allowing the wire r ope to be at 90° to wind properly onto the spooling drum. Increasing Pulling Power In some cases, you may find yourself needing more pulling power . The use of snatch blocks increases me- chanical advantage and that increases your pulling power .
vehicle’s frame/tow hook and run the wir e rope thr ough a snatch block. Disengage the clutch and, using the snatch block, pull out enough wire to r each your anchor point. Do not attach the hook to the mounting kit. Secure to the anchor point with a tree tr unk protector or choker chain.
CAUTION! Prolonged operation of the steering system at the end of the steering wheel travel will increase the steering fluid temperature and it should be avoided when possible. Damage to the power steering pump may occur . Power Steering Fluid Check Checking the power steering fluid level at a defined service interval is not requir ed.
If necessary , add fluid to restore to the pr oper indicated level. W ith a clean cloth, wipe any spilled fluid from all surfaces. Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genuine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leav- ing your vehicle or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave the transmission in P ARK. Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury . • Never leave children alone in a vehicle.
3500 Dual Rear Wheel Models Only The brake system power assist is provided by a hydr o- boost unit which shares fluid with the power steering system. Y ou may experience some clicking or hissing noises from the hydr o-boost system during hard braking conditions.
The system’s pump motor runs during an ABS stop to provide r egulated hydraulic pressure. The pump motor makes a low humming noise during operation. This is normal. The ABS conducts a low-speed selftest at about 10 mph (16 km/h). If you have your foot lightly on the brake while this test is occurring, you may feel slight pedal movement.
W ARNING! (Continued) • The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely , or hydro- planing.
W ARNING! • ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded.
Brake Assist System (BAS) – If Equipped The BAS is designed to optimize the vehicle’s braking capability during emergency braking maneuvers. The BAS detects an emergency braking situation by sensing the rate and amount of brake application and then applies optimum pressur e to the brakes.
Hill Start Assist (HSA) – If Equipped The HSA system is designed to assist the driver in launching a vehicle on an incline. HSA will maintain the level of brake pressur e the driver inputs for a short duration once the driver takes his foot off of the brake pedal.
The system will only work if the intended direction of the vehicle and vehicle gear match. For example, if the intended direction is forwar d up a hill and the vehicle is in DRIVE and the activation criteria are met, HSA will activate. The system will work in REVERSE and all forward gears, and will not activate if the vehicle is placed in NEUTRAL.
W ARNING! (Continued) • HSA is not a parking brake. If you stop the vehicle on a hill without putting the transmission in P ARK or using the parking brake, it will roll down the incline and could cause a collision with an- other vehicle or object.

Windshield Wiper Blades Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner . This will remove accumula- tions of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
W ARNING! Commercially available windshield washer solvents are flammable. They could ignite and burn you. Care must be exercised when filling or working around the washer solution. After the engine has warmed up, operate the defroster for a few minutes to reduce the possibility of smearing or freezing the fluid on the cold windshield.
W ARNING! • Exhaust gases can injure or kill. They contain carbon monoxide (CO), which is colorless and odorless. Breathing it can make you unconscious and can eventually poison you. T o avoid breathing CO, refer to “Safety T ips/Exhaust Gas” in “Things T o Know Before Starting Y our V ehicle” for further information.
Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance. However , it is im- portant to keep the engine properly tuned to assur e proper catalyst operation and pr event possible catalyst damage. NOTE: Intentional tampering with emissions control systems can result in civil penalties being assessed against you.
Cooling System W ARNING! 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, do not open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot.
Refer to “Maintenance Schedule” for further information. Selection Of Coolant Use only the manufacturer’s r ecommended engine cool- ant (antifreeze). Refer to “Fluids, Lubricants, and Genu- ine Parts” in “Maintaining Y our V ehicle” for further information.
replacement. T o prevent reducing this extended mainte- nance period, it is important that you use the same engine coolant (antifreeze) thr oughout the life of your vehicle. Please review these r ecommendations for using Hybrid Organic Additive T echnology (HOA T) engine coolant (antifreeze).
W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add engine coolant (antifreeze) 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.
of this. As long as the engine operating temperatur e is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month. When additional engine coolant (antifreeze) is needed to maintain the proper level, it should be added to the coolant bottle.
• 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 W inter operation. If replacement is ever necessary , install ONL Y the corr ect type thermostat.
W ith disc brakes the fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake linings wear . However , an unexpected drop in fluid level may be caused by a leak and a system check should be conducted.
W ARNING! (Continued) • T o avoid contamination from foreign matter or moisture, use only new brake fluid or fluid that has been in a tightly closed container . Keep the master cylinder reservoir cap secured at all times. Brake fluid in a open container absorbs moisture from the air resulting in a lower boiling point.
axles. The fluid level should be 5/8 in (16 mm) below the fill hole on 9 1/4 in manufacturer’s r ear axles. For all 2500/3500 Model axles, the fluid level should be 1/4” ± 1/4 in (6.4 mm ± 6.4 mm) below the fill hole on the 9.25 in front and 3/4 in ± 1/4 in (19 mm ± 6.
Fluid Level Check This fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug. The fluid level should be to the bottom edge of the filler plug hole with the vehicle in a level position. Automatic T ransmission Selection Of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission perfor - mance.
should not be tampered with. Y our authorized dealer has the proper tools to ensur e that the fluid level is set properly . The fluid level should be checked when the engine is fully warmed up and the fluid in the transmis- sion is at normal operating temperature.
NOTE: If it is necessary to check the transmission below the operating temperature, the fluid level should be between the two “COLD” (lower) holes on the dipstick with the fluid at approximately 70°F (21°C) (r oom tem- perature).
Special Additives Automatic T ransmission Fluid (A TF) is an engineered product and its performance may be impair ed by supple- mental additives. Therefor e, do not add any fluid addi- tives to the transmission. The only exception to this policy is the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
W ashing • W ash your vehicle regularly . Always wash your ve- hicle in the shade using MOP AR 威 Car W ash or equiva- lent, or a mild car wash soap and rinse the panels completely with clear water .
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately . The cost of such repairs is considered the r esponsibility of the owner . • If your vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and pr otective coating, have your vehicle repair ed as soon as pos- sible.
• Blot any remaining stain with a clean, damp towel. • For tough stains, apply MOP AR 威 T otal Clean or equivalent, or a mild soap solution to a clean, damp cloth and remove stain.
Cleaning Headlights Y our vehicle is equipped with plastic headlights and fog lights (if equipped) that are lighter and less susceptible to stone breakage than glass headlights. Plastic is not as scratch resistant as glass and ther efore differ ent lens cleaning procedures must be followed.
Seat Belt Maintenance Do not bleach, dye or clean the belts with chemical solvents or abrasive cleaners. This will weaken the fabric. Sun damage can also weaken the fabric. If the belts need cleaning, use a mild soap solution or lukewarm water . Do not remove the belts from the car to wash them.
