7. Starting and driving Precautions when setting the vehicle in motion ..........7-2 Precautions for driving .
Starting and driving Precautions when setting the vehicle in motion • Do not carry containers of fuel or spray cans in the cabin. WARNING Z11316 Carrying fuel in the cabin is extremely dan- gerous because an increase in the cabin tem- perature could cause fuel vapor to catch fire or cause the container to rupture.
Precautions for driving Observe the following precautions while driving. Should you notice anything unusual about the vehi- cle, immediately stop the vehicle and inspect the relevant sections to find the cause of the trouble. If you are unable to identify the cause of the trouble or unable to do the repairs yourself, call your nearest authorized dealer.
Page 81
Starting and driving • Remember that the mirrors protrude from the vehicle body. Be careful not to hit pedestrians and obstructions with the mirrors when driving on narrow roads. Looking at the mirrors while driving causes your line of vision to move significantly. Be sure to keep paying attention to safety ahead of the vehicle.
Page 82
• Do not allow a child to touch the driver’s controls and other equipment. A child’s interference could cause a fault or accident. 1 When driving a manual transmission vehicle • Avoid slipping the clutch excessively. Partially depressing the clutch pedal while the vehicle is in motion causes the clutch to slip and shortens the service life of the clutch.
Starting and driving Tips for improving fuel economy Observe the following precautions to achieve maxi- mum fuel economy and to extend tire life. • Continue warming up the engine only to the point at which the water temperature gauge needle begins to move. •...
Braking When driving downhill, use engine braking as well as exhaust braking in combination with the foot brake. P. 7-9 WARNING Z01416 • When warning lamps and/or light up, immediately stop the vehicle and perform necessary checks. P. 6-6 • Using the exhaust brake on a wet, frozen, snow-covered, or otherwise slippery road surface when the vehicle is lightly loaded...
Page 85
Starting and driving NOTE: When driving on slippery surfaces, activating the brakes could lock the wheels and the vehicle is very likely to lose directional control due to resulting skids. The ABS minimizes such wheel locking by electronically controlling the braking force of each wheel.
WARNING If the tires slip when driving around a slip- pery curve or over a gap with the exhaust brake working, the ABS will start functioning and the exhaust brake will be temporarily deactivated. Always slow down before enter- ing a curve. •...
Page 87
7-10 Starting and driving • Never coast downhill with the gearshift lever in neutral (manual transmission vehicles) or the range selector lever in the “N” position (auto- matic transmission vehicles). Doing so makes both engine braking and exhaust brake inopera- tive, which in turn excessively burdens the ser- vice brakes.
7-11 On rough roads and in bad weather • Use a low gear and try to drive at a constant speed when driving on gravel roads or muddy roads. • Do not race the engine when attempting to move out of mud. Racing the engine is useless and even worsens the condition as the spinning Z11323 wheels will make ruts deeper.
7-12 Starting and driving Parking WARNING • Park the vehicle on the flattest available surface. Avoid parking on slopes. When you cannot avoid parking on a slope, apply chocks to the wheels. You can further improve safety by leaving the steering wheel turned so the vehicle will roll toward an obstacle (for example, a Z11324...

Page 91
7-14 Starting and driving WARNING When you raise the vehicle on one side for replacing a tire or any other purpose, never rotate the raised wheel. Doing so is danger- ous as power is transmitted to the wheel which is on the ground and the vehicle could move.
7-15 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 93
7-16 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.
