Driving Operation in standing water Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine. Consult your dealer for service immediately. Engine block heater (if equipped) Refer to the Driving chapter in the Owner's Guide. Rapid heat supplemental heating system (if equipped) The optional rapid heat feature is an electrically powered device that is designed to provide supplemental heat during engine warm up. For maximum effectiveness mid to low blower speed is recommended during initial warm up. When operating in automatic mode (when equipped) the climate control unit will determine the appropriate blower speed for existing conditions. Note: Additional aftermarket electrical loads operated during engine warm up may impact the performance of the rapid heat supplemental heater. DUAL FUEL TANK SELECTOR CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED) If your vehicle is equipped with dual fuel tanks, you will have a selector control, located to the right of the steering wheel, which allows you to draw fuel from either tank. Your fuel gauge and the DTE (distance to empty) will display the amount of fuel in the currently selected tank. INTEGRATED ENGINE BRAKING This feature increases engine braking at higher engine speeds to provide better grade descent control with less brake and transmission wear and tear. This feature is integrated with the tow/haul mode feature. When tow/haul mode is switched on, the integrated engine braking feature will also be active. For more information on tow/haul, see Automatic transmission operation in the Owner Guide. 14 2012 Diesel (67l) Supplement, 3rd Printing USA (fus)
