3) Exhaust brake lever

Use the exhaust brake to increase the effect of engine braking

while driving down a long slope.

Move the lever to the "ON" position and take your foot off the

accelerator pedal to activate the exhaust brake.

The exhaust brake will disengage when you depress the

accelerator pedal again.

The exhaust brake will not act when the shift lever is in the "N" position.

(541A-0122-0E)

NOTE

The exhaust brake acts when the machine is driving at 10km/h or more.

NOTE

When the exhaust brake acts, the "exhaust brake indicator lamp" on the cluster meter panel will light.

(2) Turn signal and dimmer switch

This switch incorporates the following switching functions.

・

Turn signal switch

・

Lighting switch

・

Dimmer switch

1) Turn signal switch

Move the lever in the direction you are going to move the

steering wheel to make all turn signal lamps on the relevant side
of the machine flash.

When you turn the steering wheel back in the other direction, the

lever will return to its central "OFF" position to switch off all
turn signal lamps.

If the motion of the steering wheel is slight and the lever does

not reset automatically, reset it by hand.
