9. Oil Pressure Gauge — Premium Cluster Only

The pointer should always indicate some oil pres-
sure when the engine is running. A continuous

high or low reading, under normal driving conditions,
may indicate a lubrication system malfunction. Immedi-
ate service should be obtained from an authorized dealer.

NOTE:

If the gauge pointer moves to either extreme of

the gauge, the “Check Gauges” indicator will illuminate
and a single chime will sound.

10. Transfer Case Position
This display indicator shows the transfer case position
selection.

For additional information refer to “4-Wheel Drive Op-
eration” in section 5 of this manual.

11. TOW HAUL

The TOW HAUL button is located at the end of
the gear shift lever. This light will illuminate
when the TOW HAUL OD/OFF button is
pushed once.

12. OD/OFF
The OD/OFF button is located at the end of the gear shift
lever. This light will illuminate when the TOW HAUL
OD/OFF button is pushed twice.

13. Temperature Gauge

The temperature gauge shows engine coolant tem-
perature. Any reading within the normal range
indicates that the engine cooling system is operat-

ing satisfactorily.

The gauge pointer will likely indicate a higher tempera-
ture when driving in hot weather, up mountain grades,
or when towing a trailer. It should not be allowed to
exceed the upper limits of the normal operating range.
