Page 183 Starting and driving • When driving at high speeds in the rain, it some- times happens that the tires ride on a film of water and lose contact with the road surface. This is known as “hydroplaning”. If this should happen, you will lose control of both steering and braking.
Page 184: Tips For Improving Fuel Economy
• If the system judges that a manual upshift or downshift would put the engine speed out of the normal rpm range, the gearshift does not take place. Adjust the vehicle speed with the accelerator or brakes before making an upshift or downshift with the gearshift lever.
Page 185 Starting and driving • Do not keep the exhaust brake switch in the activation position at all times. Keeping the switch in the activation position worsens fuel consumption, as doing so causes the exhaust brake to work frequently and thus the vehicle to decelerate and accelerate frequently.
Page 186: Braking
Braking WARNING • When warning lamps and/or light up, immediately stop the vehicle and per- form necessary checks. P. 6-27 • Avoid sudden braking except in emer- gency. Sudden application of the brakes generates a large shock, which could cause an accident. Sudden braking will wear down tires and could cause malfunc- tions in other sections of the vehicle.
Page 187: Antilock Braking System (Abs)
The ABS does not always shorten the braking distance. Do not depend too much on the system, but keep safe following dis- tances. CAUTION If you intend to install radio equipment, please contact an authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO dis- tributor or dealer beforehand.
Page 188 Even if this condition happens, the brakes work normally. If the warning lamp stays on, have the vehicle repaired by an authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or dealer as soon as possible. • EBD stands for “Electronic Brake force Distribu- tion”.
