Programmable Maximum Vehicle Speed (Chassis
Cab Only)

This feature allows the owner to set a maximum vehicle
speed for the vehicle. The 3500 Series maximum vehicle
speed can be set between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 87 mph
(140 km/h). The 4500/5500 Series maximum vehicle speed
can be set between 40 mph (64 km/h) and 85 mph
(136 km/h). See your local authorized dealer to enable this
feature.

NOTE:

DO NOT set the maximum vehicle speed to a value

greater than what the vehicle tires are rated for.

Operating Precautions

Avoid Overheating The Engine

The temperature of the engine coolant (antifreeze) (a
mixture of 50% ethylene-glycol and 50% water) must not
exceed the normal range of the temperature gauge 240°F
(116°C) with a 21 psi (145 kPa) coolant pressure cap.

Usually the engine coolant (antifreeze) temperature indi-
cated during operation will be to the left of center in the
normal range of the gauge.

Avoid Low Coolant Temperature Operation

Continual operation at low engine coolant (antifreeze)
temperature below the normal range on the gauge 140°F
(60°C) can be harmful to the engine. Low engine coolant
(antifreeze) temperature can cause incomplete combustion
which allows carbon and varnish to form on piston rings
and injector nozzles. Also, the unburned fuel can enter the
crankcase, diluting the lubricating oil and causing rapid
wear to the engine.

Cooling System Tips — Automatic Transmission

To reduce potential for engine and transmission overheat-
ing in high ambient temperature conditions, take the
following actions:

•

City Driving —

When stopped, shift the transmission into NEUTRAL and
increase engine idle speed.

•

Highway Driving —

Reduce your speed.

•

Up Steep Hills —

Select a lower transmission gear.

•

Air Conditioning —

Turn it off temporarily.
