Introduction

This manual has been prepared to acquaint you with the operation and maintenance of your vehicle and to provide important safety information. It includes a Maintenance Schedule and is supplemented with a Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet. We urge you to read these publications carefully. The following recommendations will help ensure the most enjoyable, safe, and trouble-free operation of your vehicle. When it comes to service, keep in mind that your commercial truck dealer knows your vehicle best and is interested in your complete satisfaction. Your dealer invites you to return for all of your service needs both during and after the warranty period. Remember, if you have a concern that has not been handled to your satisfaction, follow the steps in the separate Warranty and Owner Assistance Information booklet. We thank you for choosing our product and want to assure you of our continuing interest in your motoring pleasure and satisfaction.

This manual describes features that may or may not be on the vehicle because of optional equipment that was not purchased on the vehicle, model variants, country specifications, features/applications that may not be available in your region, or changes subsequent to the printing of this owner’s manual, including changes in standard or optional content.

Warning:
If the key is unintentionally rotated while the vehicle is running, the ignition could be moved out of the RUN position. This could be caused by heavy items hanging from the key ring, or by large or long items attached to the key ring that could be contacted by the driver or steering wheel. If the ignition moves out of the RUN position, the engine will shut off, braking and steering power assist may be impacted, and airbags may not deploy. To reduce the risk of unintentional rotation of the ignition key, do not change the way the ignition key and Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, if equipped, are connected to the provided key rings.

If there is a decrease in the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) operating range:

1. Check the distance. The transmitter may be too far from the vehicle.
2. Check the location. Other vehicles or objects may be blocking the signal.
3. Check the transmitter’s battery. See “Replacing the Battery in the Remote Control Unit” later in this section.
4. If the transmitter is still not working correctly, see your dealer or a qualified technician for service.

Unlocking and Locking the Doors

Unlocking
Press the unlock button (2) of the remote control unit for 1 second or longer. The vehicle’s keyless entry system causes the right and left turn signal lights to simultaneously flash twice upon receiving the signals from the remote control unit.

Locking
Press the lock button (1) of the remote control unit for 1 second or longer. The vehicle’s keyless entry system causes the right and left turn signal lights to simultaneously flash once upon receiving the signals from the remote control unit. Should you lose the remote control unit, please contact your dealer.
After locking the doors using the remote control unit, be sure to check that they are locked by pulling the door handles.
Avoid getting water on the remote control unit, dropping it, hitting it against another object, or stepping on it; otherwise, the remote control unit could malfunction.
Do not leave the remote control unit on the dashboard or any other surface where the unit might be exposed to high temperatures (exceeding 60°C/140°F). Doing so may result in shorter battery life or malfunction of the remote control unit.
If the keyless entry system fails to operate normally, lock and unlock the doors using the key and have the system inspected by your dealer.
The lock or unlock buttons on the remote control unit must be fully pressed for more than 1 second to work.

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.

Be sure to do the following whenever you leave the vehicle:

1. Fully engage the parking brake.
2. Shut down the engine.
3. Lock the doors.

When you close the door after sitting behind the wheel, check that the door is fully closed. Driving with any door ajar is very dangerous.
Before opening the door when climbing into or out of the cab, carefully check all areas around the vehicle for safety, especially the area at the rear of the vehicle. If you suddenly open a door without checking the surrounding area, the door could be hit by a vehicle behind you or a pedestrian.
Never leave the key in the vehicle.
Tilt the cab only after fully closing the doors.

Locking and Unlocking the Door from the Inside
Push the lock button (1) forward to lock the door; pull the lock button backward to unlock it. After unlocking the door, open it by pulling the inside door handle (2). If the door is locked, the lock mechanism overrides the operation of the door handle.

Exterior Mirrors

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.
Outside 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.
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.

Outside Rearview Mirror
After properly adjusting your seat for a proper driving position, adjust the mirrors indicated below so that they provide adequate views for checking the rear and the sides of the vehicle.
Adjust the outside rearview mirrors by hand (or using the remote mirror control switch, if equipped) before vehicle operation. This helps you determine the location of objects seen in the mirror.
