48 Seats and Restraints
Lap Belt
The center seat lap belt has no
retractor, but should be positioned,
worn, and released as described
below.
To Fasten:1. Sit on the seat in the correct position.
2. Pull out the latch plate side ofthe belt a little longer than
necessary. Placing the latch
plate at right angles with the
belt makes this easier.
3. After checking that there are no
twists in the belt, insert the
latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
4. Position the seat belt acrossthe lap as low as possible on
the hips. Pull the fold-back end
of the belt (upper side) until the
belt is adjusted to a snug fit.
To Unfasten:
Push the button on the buckle to
unfasten the belt.
The center seat belt
(length-adjustable two-point belt) is
designed so that it cannot be
connected with any of the
windowside seat belts (three-point
seat belts with ELR).

they can interfere with each other,
making it difficult to hear the
broadcast.
Static - AM is easily affected by
external sources of electrical noise,
such as high tension power lines,
lightning, or electrical motors. This
results in static.

Engine Exhaust
Engine Exhaust Emissions
Caution (Carbon Monoxide)
{Warning
Do not breathe exhaust gas
because it contains carbon
monoxide, which by itself has no
color or odor. Carbon monoxide is
a dangerous gas. It can cause
unconsciousness and can be
lethal.
Do not keep the engine running
for any length of time in a place
that is poorly ventilated. It is
particularly dangerous to run the
engine in a garage or other indoor
place that could easily fill with
exhaust gases because you could
suffer carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Inspect the exhaust pipe from
time to time. If you notice any
defect (for example, a damaged
joint, or a hole or crack caused by(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
corrosion), have checks and
maintenance performed by the
nearest dealer. Continuing to use
the vehicle without having the
defect repaired would be
dangerous because exhaust
gases could get into the cab and
cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
If at any time you think exhaust
fumes are entering the cab, have
the cause determined and
corrected as soon as possible.
If you must drive under these
conditions, drive only with all
windows fully open. Prevent
carbon monoxide from entering
the cab. The best way is to keep
the engine exhaust system, cab
and cab ventilation system
properly maintained.
We recommend that the exhaust
system and cab be inspected by
a competent technician:(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Each time the vehicle has
an oil change.
. Whenever a change is
noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system.
. Whenever the exhaust
system, underbody or cab is
damaged or becomes
corroded.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille clear of snow,
leaves or other obstructions at all
times. Do not park with the
engine running or idle this vehicle
for more than 10 minutes with the
ventilation system control switch
in the OFF position. Even with the
ventilation system on, running the
engine while parked or stopped
for longer periods of time is not
recommended. Entry of carbon
monoxide into the cab is possible
with a poorly repaired, damaged, (Continued)

Diesel Particulate
Filter
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF)
The DPF purifies diesel exhaust
gases of particulate matter (PM). PM
is filtered from the exhaust gas and
collected in the DPF. When PM is
collected to the predetermined level
by the engine control module, the
DPF automatically burns the PM in
a process called regeneration.
Regeneration may not be completed
under certain driving conditions.
If this occurs, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will provide prompts to
properly complete DPF
regeneration.
The following sections will provide
details on DPF regeneration. Follow
the steps carefully to keep the DPF
in good working order. SeeDriver
Information Center (DIC) 082,
Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants 0326, and Engine Oil
0 223.
{Warning
Exhaust parts and gases become
very hot when the DPF is being
regenerated.
Parking over flammable items
could allow them to touch hot
exhaust parts under your vehicle
and cause them to ignite. Do not
park over papers, leaves, grass
or other things that can burn. You
and others could be seriously
injured.
This content is to restore the
function of the DPF and it is not a
malfunction. However, the check
engine malfunction indicator light
and reduced engine power indicator
light may come on and the power
output may be limited if driving or
power take-off (PTO) operation is
continued for a long time with the
regeneration required warning light
or selectable (switch) regeneration
required warning light (amber/
red) on. This is to prevent the DPF from
being damaged. When operating
PTO during parking, check to
ensure that the regeneration
required warning light or selectable
(switch) regeneration required
warning light (amber/red) on the DIC
is not on.
Engine oil that supports DPF (low
ash oil) is recommended. Use of low
ash oil extends the maintenance
interval of the DPF filter.
Do not modify the DPF or exhaust
pipe. Changing the alignment,
length or diameter of the exhaust
pipe would adversely affect the
exhaust system's exhaust emission
reduction function. If any
modification is necessary to install a
component to the rear of the
vehicle, consult your dealer.
Although the DPF filter automatically
undergoes regeneration (burning of
the accumulated PM) when a
certain amount of PM has
accumulated, driving conditions can
prevent completion of regeneration.

296 Vehicle Care
Polishing and Waxing
Periodic polishing and waxing is
recommended to remove built-up
residue and eliminate any
"weathered" appearance.
Your authorized dealer offers
several polishes and cleaners which
have proven value in maintaining
original finish appearance and
durability.
Painted and chrome-plated surfaces
should be waxed once or twice a
month, or whenever water is being
poorly repelled on the surfaces.
Ensure that wax is not applied in
direct sunlight, and that the
temperature of the painted surface
is no more than 40 °C (104 °F).
Always follow the instructions
provided with your wax product.
Do not use wax containing abrasive
material. Failure to observe this
precaution can lead to scratching of
painted surfaces or plastic
components.
The application of wax to rubber
component surfaces can result in
permanent whitening.Wax must not be applied to the
windshield. Failure to observe this
precaution can result in irregular
reflection of light, impairing
your view.
Protecting Exterior Bright Metal
Parts
Bright metal parts should be
cleaned regularly to keep their
luster. Washing with water is all that
is usually needed.
Use special care with aluminum
trim. To avoid damaging protective
trim, never use auto or chrome
polish, steam or caustic soap to
clean aluminum. A coating of wax,
rubbed to a high polish, is
recommended for all bright metal
parts.
Weatherstrip Lubrication
All weatherstrips should be
periodically lubricated (minimum of
every 6 months) with a silicone
grease lubricant. A thin film of
silicone grease lubricant should be
applied using a clean cloth. Silicone
grease application will lengthen
weatherstrip life, help sealing, and
assist in eliminating squeaks.
Windshield Care
Wax must not be applied to the
windshield. A layer of wax can
impair your view in rainy weather
and can also lead to rough
movements of the windshield wiper.
If engine oil or grease comes into
contact with the windshield, staining
or discoloration may result. It must
be immediately cleaned away.
If not fully cleaned by the windshield
wipers, the windshield should be
cleaned using glass cleaner. If your
windshield is not clear after using
the windshield washer, or if the
wiper blade chatters when running,
wax or other material may be on the
blade or windshield.
The windshield wipers on your truck
can be pulled out from the
windshield to provide easier access
for cleaning.
Clean the outside of the windshield
with a non-abrasive cleaner. Your
windshield is clean if beads do not
