94 Lighting
Hazard Warning Flashers
Use the hazard warning light flasher
to warn other drivers any time your
vehicle becomes a traffic hazard,
day or night. With the engine control
switch in any position or the key
removed, when this switch is
pressed, all of the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights
flash to signal an emergency. To
turn off the hazard lights, press the
switch again.
Do not leave the hazard warning
light flasher operating for an
extended time period with theengine off. Otherwise, the battery
may go dead, making it impossible
to restart the engine.
Both indicator lights flash when the
hazard warning flasher switch is
operated irrespective of the position
of the engine control switch.
The individual turn signals do not
work when the hazard flasher is
turned on.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
When turning left or right, move the
lever up or down to flash the turn
signal light.
When the turn is completed, the
signal will cancel and the lever will
return to horizontal.
If the steering wheel is only turned a
small amount, turn off the signal
manually. Lightly press and hold the
lever up or down when overtaking or
changing lanes. The turn signal light
continues flashing as long as the

142 Driving and Operating
When the Silencer and
Exhaust Pipe are Hot
{Warning
When the engine is running and
immediately after vehicle
operation, the DPF, silencer, and
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 0253.
. 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 0317.
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

164 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 0233.
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.

Overdrive Off Indicator Light
Indicator lightFunction Usage conditions
Goes Off. 6-Speed (4-speed + overdrive) automatic
change (Overdrive ON). Use under normal driving conditions.
Comes On. 4-speed automatic change, but no change to
overdrive (overdrive OFF). Used when a light engine brake is required.
Doing so will reduce the number of gear
changes making the ride smoother on roads
that have many hills.
. During cold weather, the
transmission may not shift to the
5th or 6th gear (overdrive) until
the engine warms up.
. Even if the engine is stopped
with the overdrive OFF, the
overdrive will be ON the next
time the engine is started.
Brakes
Antilock Brake
System (ABS)
Wheels may be locked and slip
during sudden braking or braking on
a slippery road surface such as a
snowy road. ABS is a device to
prevent the wheels from locking by
detecting a slippery condition during
braking and securing the directional
stability and handling stability of the
vehicle. ABS only assists in limited
road conditions and will not prevent
a crash if you exceed safe driving
speeds for road conditions. Always
drive safely.
{Warning
The braking distance on slippery
road surfaces is longer than that
on a normal dry paved road even
with an ABS-equipped vehicle. In
addition the braking distance can
be slightly longer in deep snow
and on a gravel road when ABS
is activated. Therefore, always
keep in mind the road condition
and tire condition (type of tires
and worn condition), observe safe

Driving and Operating 219
Warning (Continued)
‐When tire chains are used.
‐ When driving over road
joints or bumps such as
light reflectors on the road.
‐ When driving on a bumpy
road, stone-paved road or
track.
‐ When driving over an iron
plate or manhole lid.
ABS does not work for wheel skid
during a standing start,
acceleration and cornering which
do not involve braking. On a very
slippery icy road, tires may lose
grip and steering wheel operation
may not be able to control the
vehicle's direction, resulting in
very unstable driving. Always
drive the vehicle observing a safe
speed well matched with both
road surface and tire conditions,
and avoid sudden braking. (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
If powerful engine braking is
applied on a very slippery icy
road, the drive wheels may be
locked (the ABS then does not
work), resulting in loss of vehicle
control.
When ABS is activated, a slight
vibration (especially when the
road surface is different between
right and left wheels) and pulling
may be felt on the brake pedal
and steering wheel. In addition,
an operating sound is produced
from the ABS actuators. This
does not indicate any abnormal
condition. Stay calm and operate
the steering wheel properly.
Electronic Braking force
Distribution (EBD)
EBD is a function that uses the ABS
to distribute braking force ideally
between the front and rear wheels
in order to compensate for changes
in load conditions or any shift of the load due to acceleration or
deceleration, thus preventing
premature locking of the rear
wheels.
{Warning
If a problem should occur with the
EBD function, the ABS warning
light and the brake system
warning light will come on
simultaneously.
The rear wheels will lock more
easily if there is a problem with
the EBD function. Have it
checked and serviced at the
nearest dealer as soon as
possible. You and others could be
seriously injured.
When the EBD operates, the brake
pedal may push back slightly or you
may hear a sound similar to that
generated by the ABS when
operational. Neither of them
indicates any abnormal condition.

Driving and Operating 223
Conditions for Inoperable Exhaust
Brake
Under the following conditions, the
exhaust brake does not engage
even if the exhaust brake indicator
light comes on:
.The accelerator pedal is
pressed.
. The selector lever is in the N
position.
. The vehicle is traveling at
5 km/h (3 MPH) or lower speeds.
If your vehicle is equipped with an
anti-lock brake system (ABS), the
exhaust brake may disengage
during ABS operation even when
the exhaust brake switch is in the
ON position and the exhaust brake
indicator light is on. The exhaust
brake may disengage temporarily as
the vehicle passes over a bump
even when the brake pedal is not
pressed. It is advisable to operate the
exhaust brake when descending a
slope or when stop and go driving is
involved.
The selection of transmission gears
and engine speed when operating
the brake system is important. The
exhaust brake is more effective in
the lower gears and at the higher
engine speeds. See
Exhaust Brake
Light 077.Cruise Control
The cruise control function allows
you to drive the vehicle at a
constant speed without operating
the accelerator pedal. Use this
function when the vehicle speed is
between 40 to 160 km/h (25 to 100
MPH). This function should only be
used when driving without frequent
starts and stops.
{Warning
Cruise control can be dangerous
where you cannot drive safely at
a steady speed. Do not use
cruise control on winding roads or
in heavy traffic. You and others
could be seriously injured.
Cruise control can be dangerous
on slippery roads. On such roads,
fast changes in tire traction can
cause needless wheel spinning,
and you could lose control. Do
not use cruise control on slippery
roads. You and others could be
seriously injured.

chock the wheels. It would be very
dangerous if the vehicle started
to move.
When performing work on the
electrical system, begin by turning
the engine control switch to the
"LOCK" position, wait at least
3 minutes, and then disconnect the
negative cable from the negative
terminal on battery. If the negative
cable is disconnected within
3 minutes, the engine control
module may malfunction.
When working on the fuel line or
fuel filter, remove the fuel tank filler
cap. The fuel system is under
pressure and the fuel will overspill
unless the pressure is relieved,
possibly leading to combustion or
a fire.
Do not make engine adjustments
yourself. Be sure to consult your
dealer.
Use only appropriate tools.Oils, brake fluid and engine coolant
have lubrication, cooling and rust
prevention functions. If these liquids
deteriorate through loss or
contamination, it will cause a
decline in the performance of the
parts and such problems as seizure
or malfunctioning. Replenish or
change these liquids when
performing the checks (daily and
periodic checks) as required by the
relevant regulations or in
accordance with the Maintenance
Schedule (when either the specified
driving distance or period of time,
whichever comes first, has expired).
Confirm that all systems and
components are normal after
performing the work.
Do not leave the removed parts or
tools in the engine compartment.
They could damage the equipment if
caught in the belts or other moving
components.
Dirty water, dirt and other impurities
seriously impair the effectiveness of
the oil, grease and fluids, and
damage the parts. Exercise all due
caution to prevent waste or otherrefuse from coming in contact with
parts or materials that have been
removed when changing or
replenishing them.
Do not step on the engine or climb
onto it. You could cause an engine
failure by, for example, damaging
the cylinder head cover or various
connectors.
Electric Welding
Careless electric welding of vehicle
parts can cause welding current to
flow back through the vehicle’s
ground circuit and damage electrical
and electronic parts so that they do
not function normally. Whenever
electric welding is necessary,
consult your dealer.

Vehicle Care 265
Another characteristic of the HBB
system is that the brake pedal may
be pressed easily to the floor with
the vehicle at a stop. This is not a
sign of malfunction.
When the engine is running, the
system automatically charges the
accumulator whenever pressure has
been reduced after braking. Auto
charge may be activated without
braking, depending on temperature
changes in the accumulator. During
auto charge, a hissing and clicking
sound can be heard. This is not a
malfunction.
With the engine running, a booming
sound can be heard during hard
braking. This comes from the
brake-fluid pump. It is not a
malfunction.
Applying continuous hard braking
for a long time will lead to
considerable temperature rise in the
HBB pump. Such overworking of the
brakes is best avoided.Vacuum or hydraulic power
assisted brakes
If the engine stops, do not pump the
brakes. The system is designed to
stop the vehicle with reserve power
assist if the brake pedal is held
down. This reserve is greatly
reduced each time you apply and
release the brakes. If, when you
turn the steering wheel during
braking, the vehicle does not turn,
release some pressure from the
brake pedal.
In a Vehicle Equipped with an
HBB, Do Not Keep the Brake
Pedal Pressed for an Extended
Period
Caution
Failure to follow the above
instruction will cause the oil inside
the HBB oil pump to get very hot.
This could damage the HBB tank
and deteriorate seals and also
could cause damage to the HBB
oil pump, HBB unit and/or HBB

hosing. Eventual leakage of HBB
oil, sudden increase in brake
pedal resistance and fire could
unexpectedly result in a crash.
Hydraulic Brake Booster (HBB)
Fluid (5500HD/5500XD Series)
The HBB system has been
designed to use Dexron VI ATF
fluid. If any other fluid is used with
this system, rubber components
may be damaged, oil may leak and
the system may malfunction. It is
important to remember that the fluid
used in the hydro-booster is
completely different in
characteristics from the brake fluid
used in the master and wheel
cylinders.
If hydro-booster fluid and brake fluid
from the master cylinder are
mistakenly mixed together and
used, rubber components will
deteriorate as a result of insufficient
lubrication. Any resultant oil leakage
or system malfunction can in turn
