O:Use this position to prevent
dusty or otherwise contaminated
outside air from entering the cab,
such as in a tunnel or in congested
traffic.
Extended use of the inside air
recirculation position causes the
windshield and windows to fog up
easily, making visibility poor. For
good ventilation, switch to outside
air as soon as possible.
Temperature Control Knob : Use
this knob to select the preferred cab
interior temperature. Turn the knob
counterclockwise to lower the outlet
air temperature and clockwise to
raise it.
Fan Speed Control Knob : The fan
speed can be adjusted to any of the
four speeds available.
Air Conditioning (A/C) Switch :
Press this switch to use the air
conditioning system. The indicator
light inside the switch will come on
to show that the air conditioning
system is in operation. The air
conditioning system can also be
used for dehumidifying while the heater is being used. To turn off the
air conditioning, push this switch in
again.
When the defrost mode is selected,
the air conditioner compressor will
be on.
Even if the A/C switch is turned on,
the air conditioning system will not
operate when the fan speed control
knob is placed in the stop position.
Make sure that the fan speed
control knob is in a position other
than the stop position.
Even in seasons when the air
conditioning system is not used,
occasionally operate the system for
a few minutes with the engine
running at a low speed in order to
keep the system's components
lubricated.
Ventilation
Outside Air Ventilation :
Press the
A/C switch to the off position. Turn
the outlet selector knob to the
preferred position. Move the air

is weak when the engine coolant
temperature is low.

knob to the maximum speed
position.
After prolonged parking in direct
sunlight, open the windows or doors
to ventilate the interior of the cab
and release the heat.
During cooling operation, mist may
come out of the air outlets. This
results from quick cooling of humid
air, and does not indicate any
problem.
After maximum cooling, be certain
to return the air selector lever to
the
Pposition. Failure to do so will
cause the windshield to fog up,
impeding forward visibility.

Driving and Operating 131
Pulling Away After Stopping
and Parking
Before pulling away, check that
there are no children or obstructions
around the vehicle and confirm that
it is safe to pull away.
If you cannot see the area behind
your vehicle well enough to confirm
it is safe to back up, get out of the
vehicle and check behind it.
Make it a habit to look around and
confirm that it is safe to pull away
after a temporary stop (at traffic
lights, for example).
If the Windshield Fogs Up
Use the heater to blow hot air on the
windshield or dehumidify the cabin
using the air conditioner and place
the outlet selector knob in the
5or
4position.
Place the air selector lever in the
outside air position.
Nighttime Visibility
If there is an old film on the
windshield, the lights of oncoming
traffic will be reflected in many directions, making it hard for you to
see ahead. Use glass cleaner to
clean the glass and the wiper
blades.
Worn wiper blades cannot wipe the
windshield clean and thus cannot
maintain visibility. When the wiper
blades become worn, replace them
with new ones.
Do Not Attach Accessories to
the Windshield or Windows
{Warning
Do not attach ornaments, films or
other accessories to the
windshield or windows. They
would impair visibility. Also, any
plastic suction cups used to
attach accessories could cause a
fire or a crash by acting as
lenses.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
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,

an engine-speed increase that
causes the tachometer needle to
enter the red zone. It is dangerous
because it can cause engine failure.
Winter Driving
Recommendations for Driving
in Cold Regions
The following recommendations
apply to snowbound regions and to
mountainous regions, ski resorts
and other areas of extreme cold
and/or snowfall. Please follow them
also for reference in winter in other
regions.
For the sake of your vehicle, make
the winter preparations described in
the links below. Also have these
preparations made before driving to
a cold region.
See Engine Oil 0235.
See Engine Coolant 0243.
See Washer Fluid 0252.
See Battery - North America 0259.
When Ice Prevents You from
Putting Your Key in the Door
or Opening the Door
If you try to force the key into the
door, you could bend it. And if you
try to pull the door open with undue
force, the rubber seal around the
door could come unstuck or become
damaged. Use warm water to melt
the ice, then quickly wipe it away
and open the door.
If the wipers, electric door mirrors,
or power windows freeze up, also
use warm water to melt the ice and
then operate the system. Otherwise,
you could damage the mechanism
and drain the battery. After that,
wipe the water away.
Before Driving in Cold Regions
Getting In and Out of the Vehicle
The step can get icy in cold regions.
Be careful not to slip when getting in
and out of the vehicle. Before Sitting in the Driver
’s Seat
Remove snow and ice from your
shoes when getting into the vehicle.
If you try to drive with snow on your
shoes, your shoes would slip on the
pedals and you would not be able to
press the pedals properly, meaning
that your driving would be
inconsistent. Also, the cabin could
become more humid, causing the
glass to fog up.
Check Fuel Level
Fuel consumption increases when
tire chains are used. Determine how
much fuel you need to reach your
destination and fill up the tank in
advance. Refer to Fuel for Diesel
Engines 0218.
Removing Snow from Glass
and Underbody
Do not use a sharp implement to
remove snow. Sharp edges could
damage rubber parts.
To maintain an adequate field of
view, use a plastic scraper to
remove snow and frost from the
glass surfaces. By using a plastic
