Useful advices for emergencies
Whenever replacing a lamp, be sure to place the
starter switch in the “LOCK” position and all other
switches in the “OFF” position.
CAUTION
The turn signal lamps have plastic lenses. Do
not clean these lenses with alcohol or thinner.
Also, be careful not to splash brake fluid on
them when adding it to the braking system.
Contact with such a substance could discolor or
crack the lenses. If such a substance gets on a
plastic lens, immediately wipe it off or rinse it
off with water.
NOTE:
In rainy weather and when the vehicle is washed,
condensation can form on the inside surfaces of the
headlamp lenses. Just as the windows mist up in
rainy weather, the condensation forms owing to a
temperature difference between the inside and out-
side. This phenomenon does not affect the head-
lamps’ functionality. It disappears naturally.
When a lamp has burn out
WARNING
•
Use a lamp of the specified voltage and
wattage shown in the following table. If a
wrong lamp is used, an excessive current
flowing through the wiring impairs the
control functions of the electric equipment
in the cab and of the rear body installa-
tions and eventually could cause a fire.
•
Do not replace any lamp bulb immediately
after it has gone out. The bulb is very hot
then and could burn you. Be sure to wait
long enough for the bulb to cool down
before replacing it.
•
Do not drop a lump bulb. Flying fragments
of glass could hurt you. Be especially
careful when handling a halogen lamp
bulb as its high inner pressure increases
chance of injury.
