230 Driving and Operating
When Canceling Cruise Control
Press the cruise control main switch
again to turn the cruise control
system off. The cruise control main
indicator light will go out.
The cruise control set speed is
canceled in the following cases:
.When the brake pedal is
pressed.
. When the selector lever is
shifted to the N or 1st position.
. When cruising speed is
approximately 40 km/h (25 MPH)
or lower. .
When the vehicle speed
decreases more than 20% below
your set speed
(3500 model only).
. When the cruise control main
switch is turned off.
. When the engine control switch
is turned to the LOCK position.
. When trouble develops in the
system.
. Memory speed is eliminated.
When you do not use the cruise
control, be sure to place the cruise
control main switch into off.
When you place the engine control
switch into ACC, place the cruise
control main switch into off, then
reset the cruise control if you want
to use the cruise control again.
Using Cruise Control on Hills
How well your cruise control will
work on hills depends upon your
speed, load and the steepness of
the hills. When going up steep hills,
you may want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your
speed. When going downhill, you may have to brake or shift to a lower
gear to keep your speed down. Of
course, applying the brake takes
you out of cruise control. Many
drivers find this to be too much
trouble and do not use cruise
control on steep hills.
When Returning to Cruise Control
Driving
If you have canceled cruise control
under the following conditions, you
can return to the cruise control
driving condition before cancellation
when you operate and release the
cruise control resume switch. The
moment the resume switch is
released, the cruise set indicator
light comes on.
.
When pressing the brake pedal.
. When the selector lever is
shifted to the N or 1st position.
When the vehicle speed decreases
to 30 km/h (19 MPH) or less, it is
not possible to return to the cruise
control driving. You must reset the
cruise control.

Driving and Operating 231
For 3500 models, if the cruise
control is turned back on while the
vehicle speed exceeds what is set
prior to the cancellation of cruise
control, the set vehicle speed
cannot be changed until the vehicle
reaches to the set speed. Also, the
vehicle speed must be 1 MPH
below the previously set vehicle
speed.
For 4500 models, if you hold the
switch at the +RES position, the
vehicle will keep going faster until
you release the switch or apply the
brake. So unless you want to go
faster, do not hold the switch at the
+RES position.Driver Assistance
Systems
Speed Limiter (Gasoline
Vehicle)
Speed limiting restricts the vehicle's
speed by controlling the fuel
injection volume. It prevents the
speed from exceeding 105 km/h
(65 mph) regardless of the pressure
on the accelerator pedal.
Speed limiting does not control
braking, so it is possible for the
vehicle to exceed the set speed on
downhill slopes. If the tire size is
changed, the speed limiting may not
work normally. Be sure to use the
correct tire size specified for your
vehicle.
SeeCruise Control (Diesel) 0224 or
Cruise Control (Gas) 0227.
Fuel
Fuel (Gasoline)
Regular unleaded gasoline with a
posted octane rating of 87 or higher
should be used. It should meet
ASTMD4814 in the U.S. and CGSB
3.5-M87 in Canada. These fuels
should contain the proper additives
and in most cases nothing should
have to be added to the fuel. Pumps
in the U.S. and Canada will be
labeled UNLEADED. Only unleaded
nozzles will fit into this vehicle's
filler neck.
Gasoline with a posted octane
rating of less than 87 should not be
used in this vehicle. Using such
gasoline may cause a heavy
knocking noise when driving, which
can result in damage to the engine.
It is normal to hear a slight pinging
noise while accelerating or driving
up a hill. However, if a constant
knocking noise is heard while using
fuel rated at 87 octane or higher, the
engine should be serviced.

Power Take-Off (PTO)
If equipped, the PTO is a device
that is used to provide engine power
to special equipment directly from
the engine or through the
transmission. For details about the
PTO operation, refer to the separate
instruction manual provided by its
maker.
If the optional PTO function is used
for long periods of time, make sure
to regularly check the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) indicator.
Automatic DPF regeneration will not
take place while the PTO function is
active.
