Hazard Warning Flashers
Use the hazard warning light flasher
to warn other drivers any time your
vehicle becomes a traffic hazard,
day or night. With the engine control
switch in any position or the key
removed, when this switch is
pressed, all of the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights
flash to signal an emergency. To
turn off the hazard lights, press the
switch again.
Do not leave the hazard warning
light flasher operating for an
extended time period with theengine stopped. Otherwise, the
battery may go dead, making it
impossible to restart the engine.
Both indicator lights flash when the
hazard warning flasher switch is
operated irrespective of the position
of the engine control switch.
The individual turn signals do not
work when the hazard flasher is
turned on.
Turn and Lane-Change
Signals
When turning left or right, move the
lever up or down to flash the turn
signal light.
When the turn is completed, the
signal will cancel and the lever will
return to horizontal.
If the steering wheel is only turned a
small amount, turn off the signal
manually. Lightly press and hold the
lever up or down when overtaking or
changing lanes. The turn signal light
continues flashing as long as the

As an example, "CH1" is
displayed.
The radio stations in memory are
erased when the power supply is
interrupted to replace the battery or
fuses.
Programming Preset Channels 1. Display the channel number you wish to program.
2. Press the "CH" button for 2 seconds or longer.
The frequency display will
blink.
3. Press the "TUNE" button ("

Once it has been set as a
preset channel, the frequency
display will stop blinking.
Radio Reception
Usually, a problem with radio
reception does not mean there is a
problem with your radio - it is just the normal result of conditions
outside the vehicle. For example,
nearby buildings and terrain can
interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals.
And of course, radio signals have a
limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception
conditions change constantly as
your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception
problems that probably do not
indicate a problem with your radio.
FM Transmissions
Fading and drifting stations -
Generally, the effective range of FM
is about 40 km (25 miles). Once
outside this range, you may notice
fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path - FM signals are
reflective, making it possible for two
signals to reach your antenna at the
same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out,
causing a momentary flutter or loss
of reception.
Static and fluttering - These occur
when signals are blocked by
buildings, trees, or other large
objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping - If the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another
strong station nearby on the FM
band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original
signal can be picked up again.
AM Transmissions
Fading - AM broadcasts are
reflected by the upper atmosphere -
especially at night. These reflected
signals can interfere with those
received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference - When a
reflected signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station
are very nearly the same frequency,

When the Vehicles
Breaks Down
When the Vehicle Stops While
Driving
The brake booster will no longer
operate, brake effectiveness will be
reduced. If the engine cannot be
started, promptly have the vehicle
inspected and repaired.
If the engine stopped because the
vehicle ran out of fuel while driving,
refueling alone will not be enough to
restart the engine. Bleed the fuel
system after refueling the vehicle.

0 238.
When the Engine Stalls and
Cannot Be Restarted
Move the selector lever to the "N"
position and push the vehicle to a
safe place.
{Warning
Vehicle operations will change, so
stop the vehicle in a safe place
with the following in mind.
The power steering system will
not work so the steering wheel
will be hard to turn. It will require
more strength than during normal
operation.
As the brake booster will no
longer be functional, brake
effectiveness will be greatly
reduced. Be sure to apply more
pressure than usual to the brake
pedal.
If the power assist steering
system goes out because the
engine has stopped or the assist
system has malfunctioned, the
vehicle can still be steered.
However, much greater effort is
needed, especially in sharp turns
or at low speeds.
You or others could be seriously
injured. When the Vehicle Breaks Down
During Driving
1. Use the hazard warning flasher any time to warn other drivers,
day or night, and pull the
vehicle immediately over to a
safe place that does not
impede traffic (shoulder). Place
the triangle reflectors to alert
other traffic to the presence of
your vehicle.
2. If the vehicle can be exited safely, have the other
passengers get out and wait in
a safe place.
3. If the vehicle can be exited safely, walk to a safe place and
take appropriate measures by
using the closest
telephone, etc.

178 Driving and Operating
Engine Exhaust
Engine Exhaust Emissions
Caution (Carbon Monoxide)
{Warning
Do not breathe exhaust gas
because it contains carbon
monoxide, which by itself has no
color or odor. Carbon monoxide is
a dangerous gas. It can cause
unconsciousness and can be
lethal.
Do not keep the engine running
for any length of time in a place
that is poorly ventilated. It is
particularly dangerous to run the
engine in a garage or other indoor
place that could easily fill with
exhaust gases because you could
suffer carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Inspect the exhaust pipe from
time to time. If you notice any
defect (for example, a damaged
joint, or a hole or crack caused by(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
corrosion), have checks and
maintenance performed by the
nearest dealer. Continuing to use
the vehicle without having the
defect repaired would be
dangerous because exhaust
gases could get into the cab and
cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
If at any time you think exhaust
fumes are entering the cab, have
the cause determined and
corrected as soon as possible.
If you must drive under these
conditions, drive only with all
windows fully open. Prevent
carbon monoxide from entering
the cab. The best way is to keep
the engine exhaust system, cab
and cab ventilation system
properly maintained.
We recommend that the exhaust
system and cab be inspected by
a competent technician:(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
.Each time the vehicle has
an oil change.
. Whenever a change is
noticed in the sound of the
exhaust system.
. Whenever the exhaust
system, underbody or cab is
damaged or becomes
corroded.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille clear of snow,
leaves or other obstructions at all
times. Do not park with the
engine running or idle this vehicle
for more than 10 minutes with the
ventilation system control switch
in the OFF position. Even with the
ventilation system on, running the
engine while parked or stopped
for longer periods of time is not
recommended. Entry of carbon
monoxide into the cab is possible
with a poorly repaired, damaged, (Continued)
