Driving Information
Driver Behavior
Napping in the Vehicle
{Warning
Before taking a nap in the vehicle,
be sure to shut off the engine and
place the ignition in the LOCK
position. Otherwise, any
unintended contact with the
accelerator pedal while you are
asleep could cause the vehicle to
move, resulting in a crash.. If you leave the engine
running and unintentionally
keep the accelerator pedal
pressed while asleep, the
engine and exhaust pipe
could become abnormally
hot, resulting in a fire.
. If you leave the engine
running while taking a nap
with the vehicle parked in a
place where exhaust gases
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
could get into the cab (for
example, a place that is
poorly ventilated), you could
suffer carbon monoxide
poisoning.
. You and others could be
seriously injured.
Distracted Driving
Do Not Use a Mobile Phone
While Driving
{Warning
Drivers should never use mobile
telephones or car phones in any
mode other than Hands Free
while driving. Doing so is
dangerous. Using a mobile
telephone while driving could
result in a crash because you
would not be paying full attention
to your surroundings. If you are
(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
driving and you wish to use a
mobile telephone, first stop the
vehicle in a safe place.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Control of a Vehicle
Warnings for Driving
{Warning
Concentrate on driving safely,
obeying all legally designated
speed limits, road signs and
traffic signals.
If you notice any abnormal noise,
abnormal smell or abnormal
vibration from any part of the
vehicle, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place and
perform checks.(Continued)

Driving and Operating 141
Never Stop the Engine While
Driving
{Warning
Do not move the engine control
switch away from the "ON"
position while the vehicle is being
driven.
If the engine stops while the
vehicle is moving, the brake
booster does not work, and the
brakes would not work properly.
The engine could also be
damaged.
Stopping the engine while driving
would be extremely dangerous
because the power steering
would stop working, making the
steering wheel extremely hard
to turn.
Stopping the engine while driving
would be extremely dangerous
because the warning lights,(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
indicator lights and other
electrical circuitry would
completely stop working.
Placing the engine control switch
in the "LOCK" position while
driving would be extremely
dangerous because the key could
come out, causing the steering
wheel to lock so that you could
not turn it.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Avoid Unnecessary Idling of
the Engine
If the engine idles too long, the
engine coolant temperature will fall
below the operating range. Low
engine operating temperature
causes several conditions that are
harmful to engine operation and life.
Incomplete combustion of fuel in an
engine that is not fully warmed-up
causes crankcase dilution and
forms lacquer and gummy deposits on valves, pistons, and rings. It also
causes rapid accumulation of
sludge within the engine.
Driving at Night
Nighttime driving is more dangerous
than daytime driving because the
field of view is narrower. Keep your
speed down, and maintain an ample
headway distance.
Metallic Plinking Sound from
the Muffler
Immediately after stopping the
engine, you may hear a metallic
plinking sound from the muffler. This
sound occurs as the muffler cools
down and contracts. It does not
indicate an abnormality or
breakdown.

Brake System Warning Light
Caution
If brake low vacuum warning light
(4500HD, 4500XD models), brake
booster warning light (5500HD,
5500XD models), or brake system
warning light comes on during
operation, have brake system
checked immediately.
Refer to Warning Lights, Gauges,
and Indicators 068.
When the Brakes Do Not Work
{Warning
It is very dangerous to suddenly
pull the parking brake lever all the
way while moving at high speed.
Reduce speed first by shifting
down and then gradually pull the
parking brake lever.
You and others could be seriously
injured. The exhaust brake should be turned
on as soon as service brake
malfunction is detected. This will
slow the engine speed. With the
engine speed under control and
providing the grade conditions
permit, the transmission can be
progressively downshifted using the
exhaust brake in each gear.
Eventually the exhaust brake should
slow the vehicle to a controllable
“crawl.”
Gradually pull the parking
brake lever while firmly holding on
to the steering wheel. Stop the
vehicle on the side of the road. The
vehicle should not be driven further
until corrective measures are taken.
See Exhaust Brake 0222 and
Parking Brake 0220.
Riding the Brake
{Warning
"Riding the brake" by resting your
foot on the pedal, when you do
not intend to brake, can overheat
the brakes and wear out the (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
brake linings faster. This may also
damage the brakes and will waste
fuel. It can also result in reduced
braking performance.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Applying the Parking Brake
Except in an emergency, do not
apply the parking brake until the
vehicle has come to a complete
stop. Applying the parking brake
before the vehicle has stopped can
cause a breakdown.
Refer toParking Brake 0220.
Parking Safely on a Slope
Avoid parking your vehicle on a
slope as much as possible and
choose a level and flat place. If you
must park your vehicle on a slope,
be sure to set the parking brake
fully. Make sure that the vehicle
does not move, and block the
wheels with chocks for added

Driving and Operating 147
Parking, or Leaving
Driver’s Seat
{Danger
It can be dangerous to get out of
your vehicle if the selector lever is
not fully in "P" (Park) or the
parking brake is not applied all
the way. Your vehicle can roll or
move suddenly.
To be sure your vehicle will not
move, even when you are parking
on level ground, follow the steps
below. (If you have to park on a
hill, also turn your front wheels so
the vehicle will roll away from
traffic.)
You and others could be seriously
injured or killed.
1. Hold the regular brake pedal down with your right foot and
apply the parking brake all the
way before shifting the
transmission. Follow the
Parking Brake instructions in
this manual for your vehicle. 2. To move the selector lever to
"P" (Park), hold in the button
on the lever and push the lever
all the way toward the front of
your vehicle.
3. Turn the key to "LOCK".
4. Remove the key and take it with you.
5. Before you leave the driver's seat, be sure the vehicle is not
moving, or check that your
vehicle is in Park by trying to
pull the selector lever out of "P"
(Park) by pulling the selector
lever toward you without
pushing the button. If you can
do this, it means that the
selector lever was not fully
locked into "P" (Park).
Do Not Touch the Selector Lever
While the Vehicle is Stationary
with the Engine Idling
Do not touch the selector lever while
the vehicle is stationary with the
engine idling. If you touch the
selector lever at this time, a gear
could be selected and the vehicle
could move even with the parking brake applied. The risk of knocking
against the selector lever and
causing a crash is particularly great
when you move in or out of
your seat.Driving Down a Long Slope
When driving down a long slope,
use the exhaust brake together with
the foot brake. Using the exhaust
brake and low-gears reduces the
work load on the foot brakes and
yields greater braking force. Even
so, use the foot brakes
appropriately to prevent the engine
over-revving.
Frequent use of the foot brakes can
cause vapor lock and brake fade,
resulting in reduced brake
effectiveness.
Brake Fade :
Frequent use of the
brakes can cause the brakes to
overheat so that the frictional force
of the brake linings decreases and
the brakes become less effective
than normal. This phenomenon is
called brake fade.
