as soon as possible.
Brake System Warning
Light (Parking Brake

when the engine control switch is
turned to the ON position, and then
should go out after the engine is
started.
Brake System Warning Light
If the light remains on after engine
start up or comes on during
operation of the vehicle, it means
that there is something wrong with
part of the brake system.The brake system warning light
comes on while the engine is
running (after startup) in the
following situations:
.
Drop in the level of brake fluid
(due to brake lining wear or fluid
leakage).
. Abnormality in the charging
system (such as an alternator
malfunction or loose or split
fan belt).
. Abnormality in the anti-lock
brake system (ABS) and
Electronic Braking force
Distribution (EBD) functions.
(The ABS warning light and
brake system warning light will
illuminate at the same time.) See
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light 077.
To serve as a reminder, the light
should stay on when the parking
brake is not fully released, and the
engine control switch is on. Have
the system repaired if the light does
not come on when it should. If this

If it has, check the following:
2. Turn on the exhaust brake to help slow the vehicle.
3. Pull off the road and stop carefully. Remember that
stopping distances may be
longer, the pedal may be
harder to push, and the pedal
may go down farther than
normal.
4. Check the brake fluid reservoir on the left side of the
instrument panel. If low, add
fluid as needed.
5. If the brake fluid is not low: Try out the brakes by starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the
road, then either drive
cautiously at a safe speed to
the nearest dealer for repair,
if you judge driving to be safe;
or have the vehicle towed to
the nearest dealer for repair.

installed. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to air
conditioning system damage as a
result of dust, dirt and the like
entering the system.

2. Use a vacuum cleaner or the like to clean dust and dirt from
its surface. In order to avoid filter damage, hard
brushes should not be used for filter
cleaning.

to removal.
Ensure that the filter is returned
securely to its original position.
Failure to observe this precaution
can lead to rattling during travel.
The vehicle must not be used with
the filter removed or incorrectly
installed. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to air
conditioning system damage as a
result of dust, dirt, water, snow, and
the like entering the system.
Service
The air conditioning system will not
be able to cool the cab interior
effectively if the refrigerant level is
low. Accordingly, the refrigerant
level must be topped up whenever
necessary.
Please contact your dealer
whenever refrigerant must be
added. Operation Tips
Operating the air conditioning while
the refrigerant level is too low leads
not only to poor cooling
performance but also to air
conditioning system damage.
This vehicle uses the new
refrigerant HFC134a (R134a) in the
air conditioning system. No other
type of refrigerant can be used. In
order to protect the environment,
care must be taken to ensure that
refrigerant gas is never released
into open air. When refrigerant must
be replaced, therefore, please
contact your dealer or other service
facility equipped with a gas recovery
installation system.
