AUTOMATIC REGENERATION
If the DPF warning light comes on, it indicates that
particulate matter has accumulated in the DPF to
the specified limit. Particulate matter collected in
the DPF cannot be burned under low speed driving
conditions.
As soon as safely possible, drive the vehicle at a high
speed (more than approximately 80 km/h (50 MPH))
until the DPF warning light turns off. Always con-
form to local regulations.
When the accumulated particulate matter has been
completely burned, the DPF warning light will turn
off.
Pick-up vehicles have a significantly higher roll-
over rate than other types of vehicles.
They have higher ground clearance than passenger
cars to make them capable of performing in a wide
variety of on-pavement and off-road applications.
This gives them a higher centre of gravity than ordi-
nary cars. An advantage of higher ground clearance
is a better view of the road, allowing you to antici-
pate problems. However, they are not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as conventional pas-
senger cars any more than low-slung sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-
road conditions. If at all possible, avoid sharp turns
or abrupt manoeuvres, particularly at high speeds.
As with other vehicles of this type, failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or
vehicle rollover.

Drive (4WD) (where fitted), see “Four-Wheel Drive

DRIVING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please observe the following precautions:
WARNING
•
Drive carefully when off the road and avoid
dangerous areas. Every person who drives or
rides in this vehicle should be seated with their
seat belt fastened. This will keep you and your
passengers in position when driving over
rough terrain.
•
Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead drive
either straight up or straight down the slopes.
Off-road vehicles can tip over sideways much
more easily than they can forward or back-
ward.
•
Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you
drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down
them, you may not be able to control your
speed. If you drive across them, you may roll
over.
•
Do not shift ranges while driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
•
Stay alert when driving to the top of a hill. At
the top there could be a drop-off or other haz-
ard that could cause an accident.
•
If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to
the top of a steep hill, never attempt to turn
around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over. Al-
ways back straight down in R (Reverse) range.
Never back down in N (Neutral) or with the
clutch pedal depressed (MT model) using only
the brake, as this could cause loss of control.
•
Heavy braking going down a hill could cause
your brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in
loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes
lightly and use a low range to control your
speed.
•
Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when
driving over rough terrain. Properly secure all
cargo so it will not be thrown forward and
cause injury to you or your passengers.
