Switches and controls
1 Accelerator pedal
WARNING
If you use a floor mat, be sure to use a Mitsu-
bishi Fuso genuine floor mat and lay it cor-
rectly. Do not lay the floor mat over the
accelerator pedal or accelerator pedal stop-
per. Do not lay a floor mat over another floor
mat. Failure to observe these instructions
would be dangerous because the accelerator
Z20978
pedal could be prevented from returning
when released.
Racing the engine also increases fuel consumption.
NOTE:
Depressing the brake pedal while depressing the
accelerator pedal will increase safety, as this helps
reduce the engine power.
2 Brake pedal
WARNING
Do not allow empty beverage cans or other
objects to get under the brake pedal as they
may hinder the brake pedal operation, lead-
ing to an extremely dangerous situation.
Keep the floor clear of empty beverage cans
and other objects.
CAUTION
On a vehicle with a DUONIC system, always
depress the brake pedal with your right foot.
Operating the brake with your left foot may slow
your response to an emergency, resulting in an
unexpected accident. Depress the accelerator
pedal and brake pedal to confirm their positions
before starting the engine.
•
If your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes and
you notice squealing during braking, the disc
brake pads have worn to the limit and must be
replaced. Have the vehicle inspected by an
authorized MITSUBISHI FUSO distributor or
dealer.
•
Use the brake pedal correctly.
