STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS
ANTI-THEFT STEERING COLUMN LOCK
CAUTION: If you need to turn the engine off while the vehicle is
moving, turn the key to “ACC” only.
Do not turn the key to “LOCK”. Do not remove the key when the
vehicle is moving. This will result in locking the steering wheel and
loss of steering control.
* Turning the engine off with the vehicle moving is dangerous as
braking efficiency will be reduced.

STOPPING THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF SERVICE BRAKE
MALFUNCTION
The exhaust brake should be turned on as soon as service brake
malfunction is detected. This will slow the engine speed. With the
engine speed under control and providing the grade conditions permit,
the transmission can be progressively down-shifted using the exhaust
brake in each gear. Eventually the exhaust brake should slow the
vehicle to a controllable “crawl”. Stop the vehicle. The vehicle should
not be driven further until corrective measures are taken.
DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS FOR SUSTAINED PERIODS
Some vehicle applications such as Road Sweepers or Road Markers
may require operation at low speeds (less than 15 MPH (24 km/h)) for
sustained periods of time. In order to receive the best performance in
this condition, be sure the transmission selector is in the “1” position.
See Instrument Panel Control Section (Automatic Transmission Fluid
Temperature Warning Light) page 2-35 for additional information.
