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).
Seat Belt Extender
If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten
around you, you should use it. But if
a seat belt isn't long enough to
fasten, your dealer can order you an
extender. When you go in to order it,
take the heaviest coat you will wear,
so the extender will be long enough
for you. The extender will be just for
you, and just for the seat in your
vehicle that you choose. Do not let
someone else use it, and use it only
for the seat it is made to fit. To wear
it, just attach it to the regular
seat belt.
Safety System Check
Now and then check that the belts,
buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and guide loops work
properly; look for loose parts or
damage (without disassembly) that
could keep the restraint system from
doing its job. Have a belt assembly
replaced if the webbing has been
cut or otherwise damaged. Replace
belts, retractors, and hardware used
in all but a minor collision. Also,
restraint systems should be replaced and anchorages properly
repaired if they were in areas
damaged by a collision, whether the
belt was in use or not. If there is any
question, replace the belt system.
Damage, whether visible or not,
could result in a serious personal
injury in the event of an accident.
Seat Belt Care
{Warning
Keep belts clean and dry.
Clean seat belts only with mild
soaps and lukewarm water.
Do not bleach or dye belts since
this may severely weaken them.
Seat belt webbing can lose its
strength when bleached or
redyed, or when cleaned using
gasoline, paint thinners or other
volatile substances.
Do not disassemble the seat belt
mechanism in order to remove
any foreign material or objects

102 Infotainment System
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere,
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere with those
received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference - When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station
are very nearly the same frequency,
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.

exhaust system has not been
properly maintained. Combustible
materials could catch fire from hot
exhaust gases, soot, or sparks
that could escape through
corrosion holes or cracks. You
and others could be seriously
injured.
If operating, parking or idling your
vehicle off-road is unavoidable,
such as in farming, lumbering,
commercial or recreational use:‐ The driver should be aware
that combustible materials
could catch fire from the
vehicle's hot exhaust
system.
‐ Carry a fire extinguisher
with the vehicle at these
times.
‐ Avoid driving your vehicle
through or over combustible
materials such as leaves,

or collect on its hot exhaust
system.
‐ Parking or idling should be
done only in an area where
there are no combustible
materials under the vehicle.
Failure to follow these
instructions could damage
your vehicle or nearby
property.
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

180 Driving and Operating
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 0349, and Engine Oil
0 245.
{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.

320 Vehicle Care
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 weatherstrip
lubricant. A thin film of weatherstriplubricant should be applied using a
clean cloth. Weatherstrip lubricant
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
form when rinsing with water. Clean
the blade by wiping with a cloth
soaked in a solution of one-half
water and one-half methanol
alcohol. Then rinse the blade with
water.
The windshield wiper arms may be
swung out, away from the glass, to
provide easy access for cleaning.
Do not hang on to the roof marker
lights while cleaning the windshield
or damage may occur (resulting in
possible water leakage).
External Diesel Engine
Cleaning
The engine does not need periodic
cleaning, nor is it recommended.
If you insist on cleaning the engine,
clean it only when it is cold, never
when it is warm or hot, and never
when the engine is running.
Spraying or pouring water or other
fluids on your engine when it is
warm or hot, or when it is running,
