UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 207 27. Transmission Oil Temperature Warning Light (Automatic Transmissions Only) This light indicates that there is excessive transmission fluid temperature that might occur with severe usage such as trailer towing. It may also occur when operating the vehicle in a high torque converter slip condition, such as 4-wheel-drive operation (e.g., snow plowing, off- road operation). If this light comes on, stop the vehicle and run the engine at idle or faster, with the transmission in NEUTRAL until the light goes off. 28. Odometer/Trip Odometer Button Press this button to toggle between the odometer and the trip odometer display. Holding the button in resets the trip odometer reading when in trip mode. 29. Fuel Gauge Shows level of fuel in tank when ignition switch is in the ON position. 30. Low Fuel Warning Light When the fuel level drops to 1/16 tank, the fuel symbol will light and a single chime will sound. NOTE: If your vehicle is equipped with an overhead console module (CMTC), it is possible for DTE to display "LO FUEL" before the low fuel warning light turns on in the instrument cluster. This could occur because the low fuel warning is set to a specified fuel tank volume and DTE is an estimated distance calculation based on vehicle fuel economy and remaining fuel tank volume. Vehicle fuel tank volumes are as follows: • 26 gal (98 L) - 1500 short box models • 34 gal (128 L) - 1500/2500/3500 short box models • 35 gal (132 L) - 1500/2500/3500 long box models 4
