The Location of Fuses and Relays
The fuses (3) and relays (2) are
located in the lower part of the
instrument panel in the center and
in the left rear of the cab.
The cover (1) must be opened in
order to carry out inspection and
replacement. In addition, the
cover (1) of the relay box at the left
rear of the cab must also be opened
at this time.
If you should spill water or a
beverage on the cover, wipe it off
before opening the cover.
The area around the cover may get
warm when the vehicle is being
driven, but this is not abnormal.Replacing Fuses
1. Before replacing fuses, firmly apply the parking brake, move
the selector lever to the
P (Park) position, and turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position.
2. The fuse puller is stored in the fuse box inside the cab. Place
the fuse puller on the fuse and
pull it out.
3. If the fuse appears asshown (2), the fuse is blown.
Replace with a spare fuse (1).
Spare fuses are stored in the
fuse box inside the cab.

If the original equipment tires are
low rolling tires, it is recommended
to use the LRRA tires shown in the
above table.
Refer to the emission control
identifiers on Greenhouse Gas
(GHG) emission plate for your
original equipment tires. Also,
please refer to “VIN, Weight Rating,
and Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
Emissions Plate” for the location of
the Greenhouse Gas (GHG)
emission plate. See Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN) 0330. Wheel Replacement
Recommendations
Wheels must be replaced if they
become damaged (for example:
bent, heavily rusted, leak air) or if
wheel nuts often become loose. Do
not use bent wheels that have been
straightened and do not use inner
tubes in leaking wheels which are
designed for tubeless tires. Such
wheels may have structural damage
and could fail without warning.
When replacing wheels for any
reason, the new wheels should be
equal in load capacity, diameter,
width, offset and mounting types to
those originally installed in your
vehicle. A wheel of the wrong size or type
may adversely affect wheel and
bearing life, brake cooling,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
stopping ability, headlight aim,
bumper height, vehicle ground
clearance and tire or tire chain
clearance on the body and chassis.
Replacement with "used" wheels is
not advised. They may have been
subjected to harsh treatment or very
high mileage and could fail without
warning.

Tread wear indicator (Example)
1. Lug pattern
2. Rib pattern
Using worn-out tires is dangerous
because they might have an
increased chance of getting
punctured or bursting while driving.
Check all tires to see if tread wear
indicators appear on their treads
and also check their entire tread for
its depth with a depth gauge to
make sure that the grooves are
deeper than the specified depth.
A tire with tread wear indicators
appearing must be changed. Also,
check the tires for uneven or
otherwise abnormal wear.
{Warning
Tires with excessively shallow
tread grooves will increase the
chance of skidding and, when
driving at high speeds,
hydroplaning. You and others
could be seriously injured.
Hydroplaning occurs when a vehicle
is running at high speeds on a wet
road and a layer of water forms
between the road surface and tires
causing the tires to float on it.
Hydroplaning prevents the driver
from steering correctly and from
slowing down the vehicle with the
brake pedal. Use of Low Aspect Ratio Tires
1. Standard tire
2. Low aspect ratio tire
Low aspect ratio tires for truck
applications (aspect ratio at 70%)
have an air volume 20% to 30%
smaller than that of standard tires.
When air begins to leak, therefore,
low aspect ratio tires adversely
affect vehicle operation much faster
than standard tires. Check air
pressure of low aspect ratio tires
more often than standard tires using
a tire air pressure gauge.

Tire Rotation
{Warning
Be sure to check the wheel studs,
wheel nuts and disc wheel for any
abnormality whenever the disc
wheel is removed.
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If you find any abnormal condition
on the wheel studs, wheel nuts or
disc wheel, do not continue to use
the wheel. Contact the nearest
dealer as soon as possible
Tires at different locations wear
differently. For uniform tire wear and
longer tire life, you should rotate the
tires on your vehicle regularly. Make
sure to use tires of the same type on the same axle. If you install tires
of different types on the same axle,
the vehicle may drift right or left
when you apply the brakes.
New tires are more likely to build up
heat and wear faster than old tires,
so they should be installed on the
front axle where the load is smaller.
If there is a difference in diameter
between the inner and outer tires of
a dual-tire wheel, install the smaller
diameter tire inside.

{Warning
For safety and the protection of
the vehicle, do not push-start the
vehicle.
Never tow the vehicle to start
because a surge forward when
the engine starts could cause a
collision with the tow vehicle.
Also, this vehicle has a 12-volt
battery, 12-volt starting system
and a negative ground electrical
system; be sure the vehicle or
equipment used to jump start your
engine is also 12-volt. Use of any
other system may damage the
vehicle's electrical components.
Under no circumstances should
the battery's positive and negative
terminals be put in contact with
one another.
When connecting the cables,
under no circumstances should
the clips be allowed to touch each
other.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Do not disconnect a battery
terminal with the engine running.
It could cause a breakdown in the
electrical system.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
If you notice battery fluid leaking,
have an inspection carried out
immediately by the nearest dealer.
Diesel engine vehicles have more
than one battery because of the
higher torque required to start a
diesel engine. This procedure can
be used to start a single-battery
vehicle from any of the diesel
vehicle's batteries. However, at low
temperatures, it may not be possible
to start a diesel engine from a single
battery from another vehicle. 1. Use a vehicle that has a charged battery with the same
voltage. Make sure that the
other vehicle also has a 12-volt
starting system, and that it is the negative (–) terminal which
is grounded (attached to the
engine block, or frame rail).
2. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery so that
the booster (jumper) cables will
reach. But never let the
vehicles touch. Also, be sure
the booster cables to be used
do not have loose or missing
insulation.
3. In both vehicles, turn off the ignition (engine control) switch
and all lights and accessories
except the hazard flasher or
any lights needed for the work
area. In both vehicles, apply
the parking brake firmly and
move the selector lever to the
"P" position.
