Steering
The steering gear is hydraulically
assisted. As excessive pressure may
damage the hydraulic pump, stop turn-
ing the steering wheel when the wheels
are at full lock or are blocked by an
obstacle. Steering is also possible with-
out power assistance, but this requires
considerable effort.
Brakes
Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
Your truck is equipped with an anti-lock
braking system (ABS). The ABS
reduces the possibility of wheel lock-up.
If a wheel is about to lock during brak-
ing, the ABS will automatically adjust air
pressure to the brake chambers on the
appropriate wheel(s) to prevent wheel
lock-up. The ABS is automatically
turned on when the ignition switch is
turned on.
WARNING! Do not rely on an
anti-lock brake system that
is functioning improperly.
You could lose control of the
vehicle resulting in a severe
accident and personal
injury. If your ABS lamp
goes on while you are driv-
ing or stays on after the self-
check, your anti-lock system
might not be working. The
ABS may not function in an
emergency. You will still
have conventional brakes,
but not anti-lock brakes. If
the lamp indicates a prob-
lem, have the ABS checked.
CAUTION: It is essential that
the following driving proce-
dures are observed:
– Do not abuse the ABS sys-
tem by excessively harsh or
delayed applications of the
service brakes.
