Radio Reception
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there is a
problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions
outside the vehicle. For example,
nearby buildings and terrain can
interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals.
And of course, radio signals have a
limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with your radio.
FM Transmissions
Fading and drifting stations -
Generally, the effective range of FM
is about 40 km (25 miles). Once
outside this range, you may notice
fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path - FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for two
signals to reach your antenna at the
same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss
of reception.
Static and fluttering - These occur
when signals are blocked by
buildings, trees, or other large
objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping - If the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere -
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere with those
received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference - When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station
are very nearly the same frequency,

or some of the removed label still
attached to it. Using the disc like
this may cause the disc to not eject
properly and damage the disc.
Discs with Special Shapes
Heart-shaped or octagon-shaped
discs cannot be played. Do not use
them as they may cause damage.
Disc Accessories
Do not use commercially available
accessories (such as stabilizers,
protective seals, etc.) that are said
to improve sound quality or protect
the discs, and CD labels, etc. They
may change the thickness of the
disc and external specifications and
lead to damage.
Do not use commercially available
accessories (such as CD rings,
protectors) that are said to improve
sound quality or are effective
against vibrations. They may come
off inside the device, causing the
disc to become unplayable or
unretrievable and lead to
malfunction.Supported MP3/WMA File

Driving and Operating 133
Driving Uphill or Downhill
Downshifts are performed for two
main purposes:
.For engine braking on a steep
and/or long downward slope
. For responsiveness and
economy on an uphill slope
Drive at a speed that does not
cause the tachometer needle to
enter the red zone.
Uphill
Shift down well ahead of time in
order to avoid a heavy load to the
engine. Downhill
.
Be careful not to drive too fast
on a downhill road.
. Use the same gear(s) that you
used to drive up the hill. Also,
use the exhaust brake in order
to avoid going too fast.
. Do not let the engine overrun.
. When going down on a steep
slope, avoid driving the vehicle
backward as much as possible.
Drive it forward slowly on the
down slope.
. Compared with forward
movement, the braking distance
of backward movement is longer,
and the steering response of
that is worse.
. If you must drive the vehicle
backward, drive it very carefully
and gradually by moving and
stopping repeatedly in order to
stop it any time.
Engine Brake : Engine brake is the
braking effect that occurs when you
release the accelerator pedal while
driving. The lower the gear, the
stronger the engine brake. Exhaust Brake :
The exhaust brake
is a system that closes the exhaust
pipe and uses the force of the
exhaust emissions to enhance the
effectiveness of engine brake.
Overrunning : An engine overrun is
an engine-speed increase that
causes the tachometer needle to
enter the red zone. It is dangerous
because it can cause engine failure.
Winter Driving
Recommendations for Driving
in Cold Regions
The following recommendations
apply to snowbound regions and to
mountainous regions, ski resorts
and other areas of extreme cold
and/or snowfall. Please follow them
also for reference in winter in other
regions.
For the sake of your vehicle, make
the winter preparations described in
the links below. Also have these
preparations made before driving to
a cold region.
See Engine Oil 0223.

146 Driving and Operating
Emergencies (Disabled
Vehicle)
When the Vehicle
Breaks Down
When the Vehicle Stops While
Driving
The brake booster will no longer
operate and 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.
When the Fuel Tank is Empty
SeeRunning Out of Fuel 0212.
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 and 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
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.
See Hazard Warning Flashers 094.

Engine Alarm and
Automatic Shutdown
If the system senses any of the
following conditions: high engine
temperature, low engine oil pressure
or low engine coolant, the
corresponding warning light and
engine alarm (shutdown) warning
light will come on. If the engine
alarm (shutdown) warning light
comes on, you will also hear a tone
alarm.
If your vehicle has the engine
shutdown feature, your engine will
shut down in 30 seconds.Pull safely off the road and shut off
the engine. Do not start it until the
cause of the problem is known, and
the problem is fixed. However, if the
engine shuts down when you are
still in traffic, you can restart the
engine and get another 30 seconds
of operation. Do this only if you
have to, since there is a problem
that can harm the engine if it is not
fixed. See
Engine Shutdown
Warning Light 080.
Idle Shutdown
Idle Stop is a dealer programmable
function which will automatically turn
off the engine, at idle, when specific
programmed conditions are met.
See your dealer for details. When
the Idle Stop light comes on, it alerts
you that programmed conditions
have been met and the engine is
about to shut down. This light stays
on after the engine has stopped.
This indicator light will come on
when the engine control switch is
turned to the ON position and then
should go out after approximately
3 seconds. If the idling stop function does not
initiate, a transmission related
problem may have occurred. Please
contact your dealer. (There is a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that
inhibits the idling stop function when
the Service Transmission Warning
Light is not illuminated).
High Idle System
Use high idle mode to increase
engine idle speed to 1,200 r/min
when the vehicle is stationary.

162 Driving and Operating
The selectable (switch) regeneration
required warning light (amber) will
turn on when regeneration cannot
be completed automatically. Perform
Running or Switch regeneration in
accordance with the proper
procedure. This is to restore DPF
function and is normal.
The exhaust pipe mixes air with the
exhaust gas to lower its temperature
before it leaves the exhaust pipe.
The frequency of regeneration
increases especially under the
following environments:
‐Midwinter.
‐ Continuous low-speed driving for
long hours (The frequency of
regeneration increases
particularly with special
equipment vehicles such as
sweeper vehicles which mainly
travel at low speed. The
frequency of regeneration is
higher as compared to delivery
vehicles which mainly travel at
standard high speed). Automatic regeneration is performed
under normal driving conditions
(DPF soot accumulation status level
5, and in rare cases, may be
performed at continuously
low-speeds for long hours, except
PM level 5); however, the
regeneration required warning light
(amber) may be displayed in the
DIC under the following driving
conditions:
‐
When only low-speed driving at/
under vehicle speed of 15 km/h
(9 MPH) is performed.
‐ When frequent engine start and
stop are performed.
‐ When the engine stops every
time before the engine is
warmed up.
‐ When continuous idling (over
1 hour) is frequently performed.
If the vehicle is stationary with the
engine idling during DPF
regeneration, the exhaust brake or
exhaust throttle operates. Operating
sounds will be heard when the exhaust brake or exhaust throttle is
activated or deactivated. The
sounds do not indicate a fault.
White smoke could be emitted
briefly from the exhaust pipe in the
following situations, but it is not
indicating a fault.
‐
Combustion of PM during DPF
regeneration.
‐ During DPF regeneration of a
new vehicle which has been
driven a certain distance. The
vehicle may not emit white
smoke during its initial operation
when new.
‐ Long continuous idling.
The exhaust brake may
automatically be activated in order
to prevent emission of white smoke
if the engine idles continuously over
an extended period of time.
White smoke may be produced
during switch regeneration; do not
perform switch regeneration in any
poorly ventilated indoor place.
White smoke may be produced
during DPF regeneration when a
new vehicle has been driven a
