Door Locks and Handles
One common key operates the ignition switch and all
of the door locks.
IMPORTANT: Each key is numbered. Record
the number so a duplicate key can be made, if
needed.
To unlock the driver’s door from outside the cab, in-
sert the key in the lockset and turn it one-quarter turn
clockwise. See
Fig. 2.1 . To remove the key, turn it
counterclockwise to the original position. Pull out on
the door pull handle to open the door.
To unlock the passenger’s door from outside the cab,
insert the key in the lockset and turn it one-quarter
turn counterclockwise. Turn the key clockwise to the
original position to remove it.
NOTE: The cab door locks can be operated
when the doors are open.
To lock a door from outside the cab, insert the key in
the lockset and turn it in the direction opposite to the
unlocking direction (counterclockwise for the driver’s
door, clockwise for the passenger’s door). Close the
door if it is open.
To lock either door from inside the cab, push the lock
button downwards. See
Fig. 2.2 .
To open the door from the inside, lift up on the door
lever. This will unlatch the door whether or not it is
locked.
To unlock the door without unlatching it, pull the lock
button upwards.

Steps
CAUTION
Slipping or falling from the vehicle can result in
personal injury or property damage.
Wet or dirty shoes greatly increase the chance of
slipping or falling. If your shoes are wet or dirty,
be especially careful when entering or exiting the
vehicle.
Always maintain three-point contact with the ve-
hicle when entering or exiting the cab. Three-
point contact means both feet and one hand, or
both hands and one foot.
When steps are mounted on battery box covers,
make sure that the cover is latched and secure
before using the steps.
Do not step on the fuel tank, battery box, frame,
etc. unless adequate slip resistant surfaces and
handholds are provided.
Do not jump from the vehicle.
For ease of entry and exit, there is a handle on both
the A-pillar and the B-pillar. In addition, the steering
wheel may be used to provide a secure handhold.
