Recommendation to drivers
•
On climbing or descending slopes, be cautious
of engine overrevving which may occur upon
downshifting or when the vehicle speed is
excessive.
•
Try to take maximum advantage of engine brak-
ing and exhaust brake features when descend-
ing a slope.
•
If a warning lamp or warning indication comes
on, stop the vehicle in the nearest safe place
and investigate the cause.
•
During cold weather, be sure to use oil of a
proper viscosity for the outside temperature.
Also check for proper coolant and windshield
washer fluid additive concentration, battery elec-
trolyte specific gravity, etc.
•
Do not carry containers of fuel or spray cans in
the cabin.
WARNING
Carrying fuel in the cabin is extremely dan-
gerous because an increase in the cabin tem-
perature could cause fuel vapor to catch fire
or cause the container to rupture.
•
Do not attach any decorative panel or similar
item to the windshield.
WARNING
Attaching a decorative panel or similar item
to the windshield could impede driving and
visibility. In addition, any suction cup on
such an item could cause a fire by acting as a
lens.
•
Do not exceed the maximum loading capacity.
Overloading puts excessive stress on vehicle
parts, shortening their service life. Also, avoid
loading the vehicle improperly. Improperly
loaded cargo not only is unstable but also may
result in uneven weight distribution which could
damage the cargo deck and frame.
