Driving Information
Driver Behavior
Napping in the Vehicle
{Warning
Before taking a nap in the vehicle,
be sure to shut off the engine and
place the engine control switch in
the "LOCK" position. Otherwise,
any unintended contact with the
accelerator pedal while you are
asleep could cause the vehicle to
move, resulting in an accident.. If you leave the engine
running and unintentionally
keep the accelerator pedal
pressed while asleep, the
engine and exhaust pipe
could become abnormally
hot, resulting in a fire.
. If you leave the engine
running while taking a nap
with the vehicle parked in a
place where exhaust gases

could get into the cab (for
example, a place that is
poorly ventilated), you could
suffer carbon monoxide
poisoning.
. You and others could be
seriously injured.

Do Not Use a Mobile Phone
While Driving
{Warning
Drivers should never use mobile
telephones or car phones in any
mode other than Hands Free
while driving. Doing so is
dangerous. Using a mobile
telephone while driving could
result in an accident because you
would not be paying full attention
to your surroundings. If you are

Driving and Operating 127
Stopping Distance
The stopping distance of a vehicle
involves reaction time and braking
distance. Deciding to push the
brake pedal is reaction time.
Applying the brake pedal until the
vehicle comes to a complete stop is
braking distance. Average reaction
time is about three-fourths of a
second. But that is only an average.
It might be less with one driver and
as long as two or three seconds or
more with another. Age, physical
condition, alertness, coordination
and eyesight all play a part. Braking
distance will vary based reaction
time, the amount of force applied to
the brake pedal and the speed of
the vehicle.When driving, bear the stopping
distance in mind. Maintain a speed
and headway distance that allow
you to stop safely even if a hazard
occurs.
Braking Techniques
For the most effective braking and
for maximum life from brake system
components, follow these
suggestions when possible:
.
Apply the brakes gradually as
road and load conditions permit.
Reduce pedal pressure as
speed drops so that a very light
pressure is used at the end of
the stop.
. Do not pump the brake pedal as
this will only deplete the vacuum
reserve or the hydraulic brake
booster (HBB) accumulator
reserve.
. To get maximum braking while
maintaining vehicle control, use
a "squeeze" braking technique.
Do this by pushing on the brake
pedal with steadily increasing pressure. If possible, steer
around obstacles when there is
not enough room to stop.
Brake System Warning Light
Caution
If brake low vacuum warning light
(4500HD, 4500XD models), brake
booster warning light (5500HD,
5500XD models), or brake system
warning light comes on during
operation, have brake system
checked immediately.
Refer to Warning Lights, Gauges,
and Indicators 069.
When the Brakes Do Not Work
{Warning
It is very dangerous to suddenly
pull the parking brake lever all the
way while moving at high speed.
Reduce speed first by shifting
down and then gradually pull the
parking brake lever. (Continued)
