Page 154 Starting and driving Precautions when setting the vehicle in motion • Do not carry containers of fuel or spray cans in the cabin. WARNING • Carrying fuel in the cabin is extremely dan- gerous because an increase in the cabin temperature could cause fuel vapor to catch fire or cause the container to rup- ture.
Page 155 • Do not attach anything to the windshield. • You should be familiar with how to use the DUONIC system controls before starting your vehicle. P. 5-20 • Check the immediate area around the vehicle, using mirrors as necessary: there should be no persons or obstacles under, in front of, on either side, or behind the vehicle.
Page 156 Starting and driving WARNING • Never place the starter switch in any posi- tion other than the “ON” position while operating the vehicle. If you turn the starter switch to the “ACC” position, the engine will stop. This is dan- gerous.
Page 157 • If you notice a strange noise, vibration, or smell, or if steering or braking feels unusual, pull the vehicle off the road as soon as it is safe to do so and check for the source of the trouble. If you cannot determine the cause of the problem and/ or cannot rectify it, contact the nearest autho- rized dealer.
Page 158 Starting and driving • When driving at high speeds in the rain, it some- times happens that the tires ride on a film of water and lose contact with the road surface. This is known as “hydroplaning”. If this should happen, you will lose control of both steering and braking.
Page 159 • If you stop temporarily when driving uphill, depress the brake pedal and pull the parking brake lever. Do not attempt to stop the vehicle from rolling backwards with the accelerator pedal. Tips for improving fuel economy Observe the following precautions to achieve maxi- mum fuel economy and to extend tire life.
Page 160 Starting and driving Braking When driving downhill, use engine braking as well as exhaust braking <option> in combination with the foot brake. P. 7-12 WARNING • When warning lamps and/or light up, immediately stop the vehicle and per- form necessary checks. P.
Page 161 WARNING Never operate the vehicle if the brake system is faulty or brake fluid is leaking. Failure to observe this instruction could lead to a seri- ous accident. Antilock braking system (ABS) If a vehicle is driven on a slippery road or it is run- ning with no or only light load, the wheels can lock and then skid when the brake pedal is strongly depressed.
Page 162 7-10 Starting and driving 1 Driving tips NOTE: • If the ABS is malfunctioning and the ABS warn- ing lamp stays on, no ABS functions are avail- able. Even if this condition happens, the brakes work normally. If the warning lamp stays on, have the vehicle repaired by an authorized dealer as soon as possible.
Page 163 7-11 Brake pedal operation Hold the brake pedal depressed as necessary even when the ABS is in operation. When the ABS is working, you may feel very slight or slow vibration through the brake pedal, but this does not indicate an abnormal condition. Continue depressing the brake pedal.
Page 164 7-12 Starting and driving On uphill and downhill roads 1 Uphill roads When driving the vehicle using the manual shift mode, downshift early if the vehicle speed begins to drop to minimize the load on the engine. 2 Downhill roads •...
Page 165 7-13 • First decelerate the engine sufficiently before downshifting. Shifting down will be prohibited by a safety device if the vehicle is driving fast. In such cases, depress the brake pedal and reduce the vehicle speed. NOTE: “Overrev” refers to an operating state of the engine in which it rotates at an RPM higher than the recom- mended maximum RPM.
Page 166 7-14 Starting and driving CAUTION Do not operate more than 5 minutes since it causes the transmission oil to heat up rapidly. • Drive very slowly on bumpy roads and take care not to allow the undercarriage to bottom out. When the muffler strikes a rock or other obsta- cle, its internal catalyst and ceramic filter may be damaged.
Page 167 7-15 Parking WARNING • Park the vehicle on a level, flat surface if possible. Do not park on a slope. If it is unavoidable to park the vehicle on a slope, do the following: Firmly apply the parking brake while fully depressing the brake pedal, place the gearshift lever in the “P”...
Page 168 7-16 Starting and driving WARNING • Never leave lighters, cans of carbonated drink, and spectacles in the cabin when parking the vehicle in hot sunshine. The cabin will become extremely hot, so light- ers and other flammable items may catch fire and unopened drink cans (including beer cans) may rupture.
Page 169 7-17 CAUTION • Before stopping the engine, allow it to idle so the coolant temperature comes down. Engine parts are particularly hot immediately after the vehicle has been driven uphill or on an expressway. Let the engine idle for at least three minutes.
Page 170 7-18 Starting and driving NOTE: A vehicle with limited slip differential can be identi- fied by precautionary stickers near its driver’s seat and on the rear axle housing. Z21359 The limited slip differential actions take place auto- matically, but you are recommended to pay atten- tion to the following points: •...
Page 171: Loading Cargo
7-19 Loading cargo 1 Do not overloading the vehicle. • Overloading the vehicle causes braking per- formance to deteriorate and can thus cause an accident. Also, overloading the vehicle places excessive stress on vehicle parts, shortening their service lives. The vehicle is designed to perform best when loaded within its Gross Vehi- cle Weight Rating (GVWR) and within its front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR).
Page 172 7-20 Starting and driving 2 How to load cargo Improperly loaded cargo not only is unstable but also may result in uneven weight distribution which could damage the cargo deck and frame. WARNING • When roping up cargo or covering it with a tarpaulin, make sure that neither the rope nor the end of the tarpaulin hang down between the cab and the cargo deck as a...
