Starting and driving
WARNING
•
Never place the starter switch in any posi-
tion other than the "ON" position while
operating the vehicle.
If you turn the starter switch to the "ACC"
position, the engine will stop. This is dan-
gerous.
If the engine stops during driving:
•
The braking force reduces extremely.
•
The power steering system becomes
inoperative, rendering steering danger-
ously sluggish.
•
The fuel injection system could suffer a
failure.
•
The electrical circuits of the warning
lamps, meters, etc. become inoperative,
causing electric components to mal-
function.
•
Never use a slope to move the vehicle with
the engine stopped. This practice is very
dangerous and could lead to an accident
because when the engine is stopped, the
steering wheel becomes difficult to oper-
ate and the brakes become much less
effective.
•
Removing the starter key causes the steer-
ing wheel to lock, making it impossible to
steer the vehicle.
•
Should the engine stall while the vehicle is in
motion, do not panic. Simply depress the brake
pedal to slow the vehicle, and pull off the road
as soon as it is safe to do so.
•
If a red warning lamp comes on or a warning is
indicated on the multi-information display, the
buzzer sounds, or the vehicle behaves abnor-
mally, stop the vehicle in the nearest safe place
and investigate the cause.
If you cannot identify the cause or cannot rectify
the problem, contact an authorized MITSUBISHI
FUSO distributor or dealer.
•
Avoid making sharp turns and braking hard
except in emergencies. Doing so during high-
speed driving could cause the vehicle to tip over.
•
On vehicles with DUONIC system, be sure to
press the brake pedal with the right foot. Operat-
ing the brake pedal with the unaccustomed left
foot may delay your reaction in emergencies
and cause unforeseen accidents.
