Exhaust Brake Function
Diesel Vehicles Equipped with
Exhaust Brake-interlocked Cruise
Automatic activation of the exhaust
brake during cruise control driving
suppresses an increase in the
speed on a downhill slope,
decreasing the need for the driver to
apply the regular brake pedal. The
exhaust brake does not activate
when the exhaust brake switch is
turn off.
The maximum slope angle at which
the system can control the vehicle
speed increase is different
depending on the load the vehicle is
carrying.
Automatic Activation and
Automatic Release of Exhaust
Brake
The exhaust brake is engaged when
the vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed on a downhill slope.
The exhaust brake is disengaged
when the vehicle slows down close
to the set.
Fuel
Fuel for Diesel Engines
Diesel Fuel Requirement and
Fuel System
Fuel Requirements
Use of fuels other than ultra
low-sulfur fuel may not conform to
emission regulations.
The fuel supply pump, injector or
other parts of the fuel system and
engine can be damaged if you use
any fuel or fuel additive other than
those specifically recommended by
the dealer.
To help avoid fuel system or engine
damage, pay attention to the
following:
.Some service stations mix used
engine oil with diesel fuel. Some
manufacturers of large diesel
engines allow this; however, for
your diesel engine, do not use
diesel fuel which has been
contaminated with engine oil.
Besides causing engine damage, such fuel can also
affect emission control. Before
using any diesel fuel, check with
the service station operator to
see if the fuel has been mixed
with engine oil.
. Take care not to run out of diesel
fuel. If you do run out of fuel,
you may need to bleed air out of
the supply pump to re-start the
engine after fuel has been filled.
Your vehicle is designed to use
either Number 1-D or Number 2-D
diesel fuel. However, for better fuel
economy, use Number 2-D diesel
fuel whenever possible. At
temperatures below -7 °C (20 °F),
Number 2-D fuel may pose
operating problems (see "Cold
Weather Operation" which follows).
At colder temperatures, use Number
1-D fuel (if available) or use a
"winterized" Number 2-D (a blend of
Number 1-D and Number 2-D). This
blended fuel is usually called
Number 2-D also, but can be used
in colder temperatures than Number
2-D fuel which has not been

Installing Electrical Equipment
{Warning
Inappropriate installation or
removal of audio, radio or other
electrical equipment can
adversely affect other electrical
equipment and cause a
breakdown or fire. Be sure to
have electrical equipment
installed or removed by your
dealer. You and others could be
seriously injured.
Do not install any unauthorized
radio set, or any radio set or
antenna that does not comply with
relevant standards. Noise from the
radio set could cause
electromagnetic interference with
the vehicle's electronic equipment and other systems, resulting in a
vehicle breakdown or in a
malfunction of electronic equipment.
Consult your dealer if you wish to
install radio equipment.
Power Take-Off (PTO)
If equipped, the PTO is a device
that is used to provide engine power
to special equipment directly from
the engine or through the
transmission. For details about the
PTO operation, refer to the separate
instruction manual provided by its
maker.
If the optional PTO function is used
for long periods of time, make sure
to regularly check the diesel
particulate filter (DPF) indicator.
Automatic DPF regeneration will not
take place while the PTO function is
active.
