30 In Brief
Diesel Exhaust Fluid
Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is used
with diesel engines to reduce the
amount of regulated emissions
produced. The DEF system must be
maintained for the vehicle to run
properly.
DEF is not a fuel additive. For
refilling instructions, seeDiesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189. DEF should
not be mixed with or added to diesel
fuel. DEF freezes when exposed to
temperature below −11 °C (12 ° F).
Locating Diesel Exhaust Fluid
DEF can be purchased at a dealer.
It can also be purchased at
authorized vehicle and truck
dealerships. Additionally, some
diesel truck fueling stations or
retailers may have DEF for
purchase. See Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants 0378. When the remaining level of DEF
becomes excessively low the DEF
gauge will change color from green
to amber. In addition, warning and
indicator lights will come on and
engine power will be reduced so the
vehicle speed will not exceed
89 km/h (55 MPH). See
Diesel
Exhaust Fluid 0189.

{Warning
When changing the battery, use
only a battery of the same type as
the original battery, or an
equivalent. Otherwise, there is a
risk of explosion.
Do not place the battery in direct
sunlight, or near a fire or other
sources of heat.
Be sure to install the battery with
the "+" and "-" sides correctly
oriented. Incorrect installation will
result in leakage of chemicals
from inside the battery or other
operational problems.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
The battery life varies depending on
how the remote control unit is used.
The battery has reached its end of
life when the remote control unit
works intermittently or does not
work at all. Replace the battery as
soon as this happens.
Getting In and Out of the
Vehicle
Carefully check that the area around
the vehicle is safe, hold the grip (1),
and place your foot on the step (2)
when getting in or out of the vehicle.
{Warning
When getting in or out of the
vehicle, make sure you use the
step and grips to support yourself (Continued)
Warning (Continued)
at 3 points. It is very dangerous to
stand on the tire or wheel when
getting in or out of the vehicle.
Furthermore, do not try to jump in
or out of the vehicle, as doing so
could cause unexpected
accidents or injuries.
Getting in or out of the vehicle
with oily or greasy hands or
shoes could cause you to slip.
Always thoroughly clean grease,
etc. from your hands and shoes
before getting in or out of the
vehicle.
Rain and snow can cause the
step to become very slippery.
Therefore, always remove snow
and ice from your shoes and the
step, and be careful not to slip
when getting in and out of the
vehicle.(Continued)

{Warning
Before driving, be sure to adjust
the seat and mirrors to positions
that give you a correct driving
posture.
Do not adjust the outside mirrors
while operating the vehicle.
Adjust the mirrors when the
vehicle is stationary, not while the
vehicle is in motion.
When checking the rear of the
vehicle with mirrors, be careful
that this does not distract your
attention from the traffic ahead.
Rearview mirrors may make the
vehicle behind you appear farther
away than it really is. Use these
mirrors very carefully until you are
able to correctly determine
distances from the images.(Continued)
Warning (Continued)
Keep the mirrors in mind when
passing another vehicle on a
narrow road, moving the vehicle
into a garage or driving near
pedestrians.
Do not drive with the mirrors
folded.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
Heated Mirrors
If the outside mirrors fog up, press
the outside rearview mirror heater
switch to defog them. When the
switch is pressed the indicating light
will illuminate. If the switch is
pressed once again, it will switch to
“OFF”, and the operation indicating
light will go out.
Do not use this switch while the
engine is stopped. Due to high
power consumption, the battery can
be discharged.
Turn off the switch as soon as
defogging is complete.

do not leave the child alone in the
vehicle. If the child touches the
controls or equipment, an
accident could occur. (For
example, the vehicle could move

inside could become dangerously
hot in hot weather.
{Warning

sure that there is no risk of a
hand, head, or anything else
being trapped in the moving
window.
You and others could be seriously
injured.
{Warning
Regardless of whether the vehicle
is moving or stationary, you must
never allow a child to put his/her
head, hands, or other body part
out of the window. Allowing such
behavior would be dangerous
because the child could hit an
obstacle.
You and others could be seriously
injured.

Seats and Restraints 47
To recline the seatback, raise the
seatback tilt lever and gently lean
back to the desired position.
To move the seatback forward, lean
forward with your back slightly clear
of the seatback and raise the lever.
After making adjustments, check
that the seatback is fully locked.
Suspension Adjustment
Avoid making any kind of contact
with the pointer on the scale. Doing
so may result in damage to the
pointer, preventing appropriate
weight adjustments from being
possible.Before sitting on the seat, use the
knob to adjust the suspension to
suit your weight. Turn the knob
clockwise to move the pointer down
the scale and counterclockwise to
move it up the scale. The pointer
should be alongside your weight on
the scale.
The range of adjustment is
50-130 kg (110-290 lbs). If your
weight is outside this range, the
suspension may not be fully
effective. However, you will be able
to sit in the correct position for
driving.
Passenger’s Seat/Center Seat
{Warning
Baggage must not be placed on
the center seat. If the baggage
falls on the floor when braking, it
may prevent the driver from
operating the pedals. You and
others could be seriously injured.

Seats and Restraints 53
When the passenger's seat belt is
fully taken up (or not pulled out),
check that the stopper is holding the
belt in a fully taut state.
Emergency Locking Retractor
(ELR) Function
The three-point seat belts are
provided with an Emergency
Locking Retractor (ELR) function.
The ELR normally allows the seat
belt to move in and out freely as the
occupant moves. However, it locks
the seat belt to restrain the
occupant when a forward force
resulting from a collision or sudden
stop acts on the occupant.
The ELR also locks the seat belt
when the belt is pulled out quickly.
If this happens, allow it to retract
once and then pull it out slowly.Seat Belt Use During
Pregnancy
{Warning
Unless the seat belt is correctly
worn, it may dig into the abdomen
in the event of hard braking or a
collision, harming not only the
expectant mother but also the
unborn child, putting them both in
danger of serious injuries or
death.
An expectant mother or a person
who is ill riding in the vehicle must
also wear a seat belt. In light of the
risk that the seat belt will apply
pressure to the abdomen, chest and
shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expectant mother or
person who is ill should get advice
from a physician beforehand.
.An expectant mother should use
a three-point seat belt.
. An expectant mother should
position the lap belt snugly as
low as possible on the hips (not
across the abdomen). Also, she
should fasten the shoulder belt
so it rests on her chest, not on
her abdomen.
Lap Belt
The center seat lap belt has no
retractor, but should be positioned,
worn, and released as described
below.
