Vehicle Security
Guard Against Theft
Your new vehicle has many features
to help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment and contents. But
these anti-theft features depend
upon you to work.
The time to be most on guard is
when leaving the vehicle:
.Park in a lighted spot when
you can.
. Turn the engine control switch to
"LOCK" and remove the key.
This locks the switch and the
steering controls. The selector
lever is not locked.
. Keep items that may appear to
be of value out of sight and
locked up when possible.
. Fully close all windows and lock
all doors.
Exterior Mirrors
Mirrors
Sit in the correct driving position
with the seat adjusted properly.
Then, check each mirror to ensure
that a proper view of the rear and
sides of the vehicle are provided.
Make adjustments and clean mirrors
if necessary.
Outside Rearview Mirrors
After properly adjusting your seat for
proper driving position, adjust the
mirrors so that they provide
adequate views for checking the
rear and the sides of the vehicle.
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors
by hand before vehicle operation.
This helps you determine the
location of objects seen in the
mirror. If the outside mirror fogs up,
warm up the outside rearview
mirror's face to defog.

58 Seats and Restraints
Warning (Continued)
shoulder belt can be worn, a
seating position with a shoulder
belt should be chosen whenever
possible.
Any unrestrained child could be
injured by striking the vehicle's
interior or by ejection from the
vehicle during an accident or
driving maneuver. Never allow a
child to be held by another
occupant instead of being
properly restrained. If not properly
restrained, the child could strike
the vehicle interior or be crushed
by the person holding the child,
or by other occupants.
Be sure to follow all installation and
use instructions that come with any
child restraint system.
Child restraint systems are designed
to be secured in vehicle seats either
by the lap belt, or the lap portion of
the lap-shoulder belt at that seating
position. The child must also be
secured within the restraint by the means provided by the child
restraint manufacturer. If the child or
the child restraint is not properly
secured, the child risks personal
injury in the event of a collision.
Using a Lap Belt That Has No
Retractor
When securing a child restraint with
the center seat lap belt, pull the
excess webbing through the belt's
adjustment feature, then take these
steps:
.
Once installed, push and pull the
child restraint in all directions to
be sure it is secure. If it comes
loose, flip the end of the belt
with the adjustment feature over
before rebuckling.
. If the child restraint is still not
secure, use the outboard seating
position in the vehicle and
contact your dealer and the child
restraint manufacturer for help.
. Secure the child in the restraint
in accordance with the child
restraint manufacturer's
instructions.
Installation on Outboard Seat
A seat belt locking clip is required
for installation of a child restraint
system on the outboard seat of this
vehicle. A locking clip may usually
be obtained where child restraints
are sold, or by contacting your
dealer for assistance. Make sure the
locking clip is identical to the one
shown on this page. Until you have
the clip, use the child restraint
system only in the center seat.

{Warning
To help avoid personal injury or
death during a collision or sudden
maneuver, always thread both the
lap and shoulder belt through the

restraint on the outboard seat.
If the clip is not used or installed
properly, the child restraint may
move or tip over when your
vehicle turns or stops abruptly.

lap belt portion (1) of the seat belt in
accordance with the restraintmanufacturer's instructions. Then
thread both the lap (1) and shoulder

Cargo loading cautionIncorrectCorrect
Do not place cargo only at the front or only at the rear. Distribute it
evenly.
When using supports under cargo, position them uniformly along the
cargo.
To the greatest extent possible, do not allow long cargo to protrude
beyond the rear edge of the cargo bed. Rather, use supports to raise it
at an angle. Avoid supporting it using just the front guard frame and the
rear edge of the cargo bed.
Use ropes and tarpaulins to secure the cargo so it does not fall off the
cargo bed. Use rubber bands or bungee cords to prevent the tarpaulins
from flapping in the wind.

Storage 69
Cargo loading cautionIncorrectCorrect
Avoid loading cargo too high. It can cause the vehicle to tip sideways
when it catches sidewinds and when turning the vehicle.
Loading Farm Equipment
Do not load farm equipment from
the rear of the cargo bed. The frame
may become deformed when farm
equipment is loaded from the rear of
the cargo bed. In addition, the frame may become deformed even when
loading farm equipment that has a
weight under the maximum loading
capacity.
When loading farming equipment, a
device for securing the cargo bed is
required. Use a car carrier or attach
a rear support stand. If you have
any questions, contact your dealer.
Make Sure There is No Flammable
Material between the Cab and
Cargo Bed
Caution
Be careful not to allow the ends of
ropes or edges of tarpaulins to
come lower than the heat
protector at the back of the cab.
During vehicle operation, the
engine's heat could set them on
fire. Carefully secure the ends of
ropes and edges of tarpaulins.

Service
The air conditioning system will not
be able to cool the cab interior
effectively if the refrigerant level is
low. Accordingly, the refrigerant
level must be topped up whenever
necessary.
Please contact your dealer
whenever refrigerant must be
added. Operation Tips
Operating the air conditioning while
the refrigerant level is too low leads
not only to poor cooling
performance but also to air
conditioning system damage.
This vehicle uses the new
refrigerant HFC134a (R134a) in the
air conditioning system. No other
type of refrigerant can be used. In
order to protect the environment,
care must be taken to ensure that
refrigerant gas is never released
into open air. When refrigerant must
be replaced, therefore, please
contact your dealer or other service
facility equipped with a gas recovery
installation system.
