140 Driving and Operating
must park your vehicle on a slope,
be sure to set the parking brake
fully. Make sure that the vehicle
does not move, and block the
wheels with chocks for added
safety. Also, leave the vehicle in
gear to further ensure that it will not
move. Leave the steering wheel
turned such that the vehicle will be
stopped by an obstruction (for
example, the curb) in the unlikely
event that it moves.
Stopping and Parking with the
Engine Running
{Warning
When parking with the engine
running, first come to a complete
stop, then firmly apply the parking
brake, then move the selector
lever to the "P" (Park) position.
Unless you take these steps, any
unintended pressure on the
accelerator pedal could cause an
accident.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
To reduce the chance of personal
injury and/or vehicle damage due
to engine overheating, never
leave the engine idling without an
alert driver present. If the engine
should overheat, as indicated by
the engine coolant temperature
gauge, immediate action is
required to correct the condition.
Continued operation of the
engine, even for a short time, may
result in a fire. Do not engage the
exhaust brake while the engine is
idling as this may cause engine
overheating.
The diesel particulate filter (DPF)
may automatically start
regeneration when the vehicle is
stopped and parked with the
engine running. To prevent a fire,
make sure there is no flammable
material near the muffler, DPF,
and exhaust pipe. Be careful not
to get burned by hot exhaust
gases.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Do Not Forget to Release the
Parking Brake
Pulling away with the parking brake
still applied can damage the brake
system.
Before pulling away, make sure the
parking brake is not set by checking
that the parking brake indicator light
is not on.
Be Sure to Have the Engine
Running When the Vehicle is
Moving
{Warning
When the engine is not running,
the power steering system does
not work so the steering wheel is
hard to turn. Also, the brake
booster does not work so there is
little braking ability. If you coast (Continued)

Emergencies (Disabled
Vehicle)
When the Vehicles
Breaks Down
When the Vehicle Stops While
Driving
The brake booster will no longer
operate, brake effectiveness will be
reduced. If the engine cannot be
started, promptly have the vehicle
inspected and repaired.
If the engine stopped because the
vehicle ran out of fuel while driving,
refueling alone will not be enough to
restart the engine. Bleed the fuel
system after refueling the vehicle.

0 238.
When the Engine Stalls and
Cannot Be Restarted
Move the selector lever to the "N"
position and push the vehicle to a
safe place.
{Warning
Vehicle operations will change, so
stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the following in mind.
The power steering system will
not work so the steering wheel
will be hard to turn. It will require
more strength than during normal
operation.
As the brake booster will no
longer be functional, brake
effectiveness will be greatly
reduced. Be sure to apply more
pressure than usual to the brake
pedal.
If the power assist steering
system goes out because the
engine has stopped or the assist
system has malfunctioned, the
vehicle can still be steered.
However, much greater effort is
needed, especially in sharp turns
or at low speeds.
You or others could be seriously
injured. When the Vehicle Breaks Down
During Driving
1. Use the hazard warning flasher any time to warn other drivers,
day or night, and pull the
vehicle immediately over to a
safe place that does not
impede traffic (shoulder). Place
the triangle reflectors to alert
other traffic to the presence of
your vehicle.
2. If the vehicle can be exited safely, have the other
passengers get out and wait in
a safe place.
3. If the vehicle can be exited safely, walk to a safe place and
take appropriate measures by
using the closest
telephone, etc.

Leaking fuel from the vehicle is
dangerous due to possible
combustion or explosion. Stop the
engine immediately.

Operating
New Vehicle Break-In
Good vehicle care begins with
proper break-in. While every new
vehicle goes through rigid factory
and dealer inspection and tests
before delivery, the care you give
your vehicle during the initial
break-in period can pay off in longer
life, better performance and more
economical operation.
It is therefore always recommended
that during the initial 1 000 km
(600 mile) break-in period, the
following few simple precautions are
carefully observed.
Follow the recommendations listed
below for gasoline and diesel
engines:
.Warm up the engine by driving
easily for the first few minutes
before placing it under load. .
Do not drive for extended
periods at any one constant
speed, either fast or slow, during
the first 800 km (500 miles).
. Use the correct gear to maintain
the desired road speed without
lugging the engine.
. Avoid racing the engine,
full-throttle starts and aggressive
application of brakes when
stopping.
. Keep tires properly inflated for
the load carried.
. Check lubricant levels in the
engine and transmission weekly.
. For vehicles with gasoline
engines, keep speeds below
121 km/h (75 MPH) for the first
800 km (500 miles).
Follow the additional diesel only
recommendations listed below:
. Keep speeds below 80 km/h
(50 MPH) for the first 800 km
(500 miles).

Driving and Operating 163
.Use the lowest gear ratio
available when starting a loaded
vehicle and when climbing
slopes to avoid lugging the
engine.
. For vehicles with the 3.0L diesel
engine, It is recommended that
the engine speed is restricted to
2,400 r/min.
. For vehicles with the 5.2L diesel
engine, it is recommended that
the engine speed is restricted to
2,300 r/min.
Mechanical Driveshaft Brake
Burnish Procedure
It is recommended that the
driveshaft mounted parking brake
be burnished as part of the new
vehicle break-in procedure.
Increased parking brake
performance will result when the
parking brake is burnished as
specified below:
. Make 10 moderate stops, using
the hand brake, from 16 km/h
(10 MPH) while spacing the
stops a minimum of 4 km
(2.5 miles) apart. .
Operate the vehicle at 32 km/h
(20 MPH) between stops.
Pedals
Sit in a correct driving position on
the seat and operate the brake
pedal (1) and accelerator pedal (2)
with your right foot. To avoid
accidentally pressing the wrong
pedal, check the pedal positions
and practice putting your foot on the
desired pedal.
{Warning
A can or bottle rolling on the floor
may prevent brake pedal
operation if it is caught under the
pedal. This is very dangerous.
A floor mat must be placed
correctly. An incorrectly installed
floor mat may hinder the free
movement of each pedal. You
and others could be seriously
injured.
Ignition Positions
Engine Control Switch
{Warning
While driving, never turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position. The key could be
removed from the switch, which
then locks the steering wheel.
This is extremely dangerous.
You and others could be seriously
injured.

164 Driving and Operating
Caution
After starting the engine, do not
turn the engine control switch to
the START position. Otherwise,
the starter motor may be
damaged.
Using electrical devices such as
the audio system for an extended
time period with the engine
stopped can completely discharge
the battery.
The starting circuit, engine alarm
circuits and accessory circuits are
all controlled by the engine control
switch.
1 LOCK : Lock is in the position
fully counterclockwise. In this
position, the key can be inserted or
removed. To place the engine control switch in the LOCK position,
press and hold the key in the ACC
position and then turn it to the
LOCK position. If you will leave the
vehicle, remove the key and turn the
steering wheel until it locks. The
steering wheel will be locked to help
prevent theft.
2 ACC :
Accessory is in the first
position clockwise. In this position,
the audio and other accessories can
be used with the engine stopped.
3 ON : This ON position is in the
second position clockwise. The key
stays in this position while the
engine is running. Engine control,
warning circuits, gauge circuits, and
accessory circuits are energized.
For diesel engines only, the engine
cylinder heaters or glow plugs are
also turned on when the switch is in
the ON position. The wait-to-start
light will come on and stay on until
the glow plugs are heated enough.
When this light goes off, turn the
switch to the START position.
4 START : On all engines, start is in
the position furthest clockwise. The
engine is started in this position.
