Mirror Adjustment
Sit in the correct driving position
with the seat adjusted properly.
Then, check each mirror to ensure
that a proper view of the rear and
sides of the vehicle are provided.
Make adjustments and clean mirrors
if necessary.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
After properly adjusting your seat for
proper driving position, adjust the
mirrors so that they provide
adequate views for checking the
rear and the sides of the vehicle.
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors
by hand before vehicle operation.
This helps you determine the
location of objects seen in the
mirror. If the outside mirror fogs up,
warm up the outside rearview
mirror's face to defog.

Steering Wheel
Adjustment
{Warning
.
Adjust the position of the
steering wheel before you
start driving.
. To reduce the risk of
personal injury, apply force
to the steering wheel to
make certain the steering
column is firmly locked
before driving. Also, do not
try to tilt or adjust the
steering wheel while the
vehicle is moving. If these
steps are not followed, the
steering column could move
suddenly while the vehicle
is in motion which could
cause a temporary loss of
steering control which may
result in personal injury or
death.
The steering wheel is adjustable up
and down as well as forward and
backward.
Before adjusting, position the seat
as desired.
1. Lift the lock lever toward you to unlock the steering column.
2. Sit in the correct driving position, and then move the
steering wheel up and down
and forward and backward to
select the optimum steering
wheel position.

Vehicle Security
Guard Against Theft
Your new vehicle has many features
to help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment and contents. But
these anti-theft features depend
upon you to work.
The time to be most on guard is
when leaving the vehicle:
.Park in a lighted spot when
you can.
. Turn the engine control switch to
"LOCK" and remove the key.
This locks the switch and the
steering controls. The selector
lever is not locked.
. Keep items that may appear to
be of value out of sight and
locked up when possible.
. Fully close all windows and lock
all doors.

{Warning
Before driving, be sure to adjust
the seat and mirrors to positions
that give you a correct driving
posture.
Do not adjust the outside mirrors
while operating the vehicle.
Adjust the mirrors when the
vehicle is stationary, not while the
vehicle is in motion.
When checking the rear of the
vehicle with mirrors, be careful
that this does not distract your
attention from the traffic ahead.
Rearview mirrors may make the
vehicle behind you appear farther
away than it really is. Use these
mirrors very carefully until you are
able to correctly determine
distances from the images.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Keep the mirrors in mind when
passing another vehicle on a
narrow road, moving the vehicle
into a garage or driving near
pedestrians.
Do not drive with the mirrors
folded.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Heated Mirrors
If the outside mirrors fog up, press
the outside rearview mirror heater
switch to defog them. When the
switch is pressed the indicating light
will illuminate. If the switch is
pressed once again, it will switch to
“OFF”, and the operation indicating
light will go out.
Do not use this switch while the
engine is stopped. Due to high
power consumption, the battery can
be discharged.
Turn off the switch as soon as
defogging is complete.

exhaust pipe are extremely hot.
Be careful not to inadvertently
touch them when working near
them (for example, tilting the cab
or operating an attachment). You
and others could be seriously
injured.
Recommendations for Driving
in Hot Regions
The engine is more likely to
overheat in an environment where
the ambient temperature is high. To
prevent the engine from
overheating, pay attention to the
following points:
.If the engine does not contain
the appropriate concentration of
engine coolant, overheating is
likely to occur.
Refer to Engine Coolant 0231.
. Do not put well water, river water
or other hard water in the engine
cooling system. It would hasten
the formation of rust and scale. .
If foreign matter (insects, mud,
etc.) gets stuck in the radiator's
air passages, the cooling
system's performance will
deteriorate. Check the air
passages for clogging, and
remove any foreign matter using
water under low pressure.
Refer to Exterior Care 0293.
When Turning, the Rear
Wheels will Follow Tighter
Curves than the Front Wheels
Use the mirrors to confirm safety.
Sidewinds
If the vehicle catches a sidewind
and drifts sideways, firmly grip the
steering wheel, decelerate to a
speed that allows you to stay
completely in control, and make a
directional correction. The vehicle
may catch strong sidewinds in the
following situations:
.
Emerging from a tunnel
. Driving over a bridge
. Driving on an embankment
. Driving through a cutting .
Being overtaken by a large truck
or bus
. Overtaking a large truck or bus
Flat Tire
If a blowout or flat tire occurs while
you are driving, calmly grip the
steering wheel and gradually apply
the brakes to decelerate. (Hard
braking would be dangerous
because it could cause the steering
wheel to be pulled to one side.)
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
change the tire.
Hard Bump Under Vehicle
If the underside of the vehicle
receives a hard bump, stop in a safe
place where the vehicle will not
obstruct traffic and check for brake
fluid leakage, fuel leakage and
component damage. If any part of
the vehicle is damaged or broken,
promptly have the vehicle inspected
and repaired.
Highways
.Speeds on highways are higher
than those on regular roads, so
there is more danger. Also, a

132 Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
steering oil pump damage, power
steering unit damage and power
steering hose damage. As a
result the steering wheel could
become extremely hard to turn
and a fire or other accident could
occur.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Steering Wheel
If the steering parts have excess
play or looseness or if any abnormal
condition is noted, have the steering
system checked immediately.
Driving on Wet Roads
Driving on Slippery Surface or
Driving in Bad Weather (Rain,
Icy Roads, Snowy Roads, etc.)
In bad weather, visibility is reduced
and slippery road surfaces increase
stopping distances. Drive more
slowly than you would in good
weather. Also, avoid sharp turns ofthe steering wheel and hard
braking. Use engine brakes together
with the foot brakes to decelerate.
Using the exhaust brake on a
slippery road surface could cause
the tires to slip.
You may not realize the surface is
slippery until the vehicle is skidding.
Learn to recognize warning clues—
such as enough water or ice on the
road to make a "mirrored surface"—
and slow down when there is any
doubt.
There is a risk of hydroplaning,
particularly where water tends to
collect on the road surface. Drive at
speeds that allow you to stay in
complete control.
If you cannot avoid driving on a
flooded road, first check the depth
of the water and then drive through
the water at a slow, constant speed.
There is a risk that water will get
into the engine's cylinders and
cause engine damage (water
hammering). Keep your speed
down, and drive with great care.
Hydroplaning :
If a vehicle is driven
at high speed on a road that is
covered with water, a layer of water
can form between the tires and road
surface, causing the tires to lose
their grip and slide across the water.
This phenomenon is called
hydroplaning. It is dangerous
because it makes the steering
wheel and brakes useless.
Refer to Wheels and Tires 0272.
Hill and Mountain Roads
Narrow or Congested Roads
When passing or overtaking a
vehicle on a narrow mountain road
or on a narrow or congested urban
road, pay careful attention to
obstacles on either side and to the
condition of the shoulder of
the road.
When turning, the rear wheels will
follow tighter curves than the front
wheels. Use the mirrors to confirm
safety.
