130 Driving and Operating
The careful attention you give your
vehicle, as far as maintenance is
concerned, will also help fuel
economy.
Protection of Engine against
Overcooling
Overcooling of the engine not only
accelerates wear of the vital engine
parts but also hurts fuel economy.
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)
Warning (Continued)
If a warning light comes on or a
buzzer sounds while you are
driving, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place and
perform checks.
Slow down sufficiently when
approaching a curve. Applying the
brakes or sharply turning the
steering wheel while turning the
curve could cause the cargo to
shift, the tires to slip and the
vehicle to tip onto its side.
Avoid scraping the tire sidewalls
against curbstones or driving over
dips and protrusions in the road
surface. You could damage the
tires, resulting in a blowout or
flat tire.
You and others could be seriously
injured.

time, the amount of force applied to
the brake pedal and the speed of
the vehicle.
When driving, bear the stopping
distance in mind. Maintain a speed
and headway distance that allow
you to stop safely even if a hazard
occurs.
Overriding Accelerator with
Brakes
In the unlikely event the accelerator
pedal becomes stuck, apply the
brakes firmly and steadily to reduce
engine power and bring your vehicle
to a safe stop. Turn the engine off,
move the selector lever to the“P”
(Park) position, and apply the
parking brake. In a safe location,
inspect the accelerator pedal for any
interference and remove the item
causing the interference, if any is
found. If none is found and the
condition persists, have your vehicle
towed to the nearest authorized
dealer.
Braking Techniques
For the most effective braking and
for maximum life from brake system
components, follow these
suggestions when possible:
. Apply the brakes gradually as
road and load conditions permit.
Reduce pedal pressure as
speed drops so that a very light
pressure is used at the end of
the stop.
. Do not pump the brake pedal as
this will only deplete the vacuum
reserve or the hydraulic brake
booster (HBB) accumulator
reserve.
. To get maximum braking while
maintaining vehicle control, use
a "squeeze" braking technique.
Do this by pushing on the brake
pedal with steadily increasing
pressure. If possible, steer
around obstacles when there is
not enough room to stop. Brake System Warning LightCaution
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 056.
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.

Mechanical Driveshaft Brake
Burnish Procedure
It is recommended that the
driveshaft mounted parking brake
be burnished as part of the new
vehicle break-in procedure.
Increased parking brake
performance will result when the
parking brake is burnished as
specified below:
.Make 10 moderate stops, using
the hand brake, from 16 km/h
(10 MPH) while spacing the
stops a minimum of 4 km
(2.5 miles) apart.
. Operate the vehicle at 32 km/h
(20 MPH) between stops.Pedals
Sit in a correct driving position on
the seat and operate the brake
pedal (1) and accelerator pedal (2)
with your right foot. To avoid
accidentally pressing the wrong
pedal, check the pedal positions
and practice putting your foot on the
desired pedal.
{Warning
A can or bottle rolling on the floor
may prevent brake pedal
operation if it is caught under the
pedal. This is very dangerous.
A floor mat must be placed
correctly. An incorrectly installed
floor mat may hinder the free
movement of each pedal. You
and others could be seriously
injured.
Ignition Positions
Engine Control Switch
{Warning
While driving, never turn the
engine control switch to the
LOCK position. The key could be
removed from the switch, which
then locks the steering wheel.
This is extremely dangerous.
You and others could be seriously
injured.

Driving and Operating 165
If the idling stop function does not
initiate, a transmission related
problem may have occurred. Please
contact your dealer. (There is a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) that
inhibits the idling stop function when
the Service Transmission Warning
Light is not illuminated).
High Idle System
Use high idle mode to increase
engine idle speed to 1,200 r/min
when the vehicle is stationary.

switch to set it to ON. At this
time, the operation indicating
light will turn to green.
5. Turn and hold the cruise control set switch in the SET
position. After approximately
3 seconds the cruise control
set indicator light will begin to
flash slowly and the engine idle
will increase to 1,200 r/min.

cancel high idle mode.
. The cruise control main switch is
set to OFF.

Selector Lever
Move the selector lever (2) to make
a shift into each gear position.
P (Parking) :Used when the
vehicle is parked or when starting
the engine. The P position is to be
used with the parking brake. The P
and N positions are the two
positions in which the engine can be
started.
R (Reverse) : Used when backing
up the vehicle. Bring the truck to a
complete stop before moving the
selector to the R position. N (Neutral) :
Can be used when
starting the engine, but for safety,
get in the habit of starting the
engine in the P position. The N
position is used should it become
necessary to tow your truck.
D (Drive) : The D position is for all
normal forward driving. The system
automatically selects the gear
according to the vehicle speed.
Press the overdrive off switch (3) to
switch to the overdrive ON position
for greater fuel economy.
2 (Second) : May be used when
driving on downhill roads or when
the engine brake is required. Select
the 2 position at speeds below
40 km/h (25 MPH) when traveling
down a moderate grade. Return the
selector to the D position for normal
driving.
1 (Low) : Used on steep downhill
roads or when strong engine
braking is required. Return the
selector to the D position for normal
driving.
{Warning
When pulling away, always
visually check the position of the
selector lever for safety.
Only push the button for gear
selection when necessary.
Pushing the button unnecessarily
may result in unintended gear
selection.
Never move the selector to the P
position when the truck is in
motion.
Do not run the vehicle with the
transmission in neutral. Not only
will the engine brake not function,
but the transmission will also be
damaged. You and others could
be seriously injured.
When repeatedly shifting between
forward and reverse gears for a
multiple-point turn, firmly press the
brake pedal and confirm that the
vehicle is completely stopped before
operating the selector lever.
