Seat Belts
Seat belts provided with your vehicle
are the most important on-board safety
equipment.
Seat belts minimize the risk of injury by
reducing the movement of the occupants
in the direction of impact and their contact
with the interior in case of a crash.
Always fasten your seat belts while driving.
Seat belt shall not loose or bent or shall
not be blocked by another occupant or
load.
WARNING
Seat belt cannot provide its protection
function if you do not fasten it correctly
or ensure that the belt lock is engaged
properly. Otherwise, you may get seriously
or fatally injured in case of an accident.
Ensure that all occupants of the vehicle
have properly fastened their seat belts to
prevent this.
WARNING
Always ensure that the seat belt passes
over the hip area, not over the abdominal
area; that it is tensioned, and not bent in
any way; that it passes from the center
of the shoulders, not from the neck area
or from the armpits; that it is pulled
upwards from the chest area and that
it is tensioned on the hip area. Do not
fasten the belt with heavy items and avoid
wearing thick clothes.
Do not fasten the seat belt over fragile
objects in or on your clothes such as
glasses, keys, pens etc.
Use a seat belt for only one person.
Never travel with your children on your lap
and do not fasten the seat belt over them.

Safety
General Safety Warnings
One of the most important safety
elements on your vehicle is the tires. Check
the tire pressure and condition periodically.
Do not drive your vehicle with worn tires.
When the tire pressure is very low, tires
may get extremely heated and worn
and these may cause excessive fuel
consumption.
When the tire pressure is very high, this
may cause longer braking distance, worse
handling and excessive wear on tires.
If the pressure loss happens continuously,
this may be caused by external damages,
cracks, foreign material in the tires and
faulty tire valves leaking air.
WARNING
Please, observe the prescribed tire
pressure for your vehicle.
Very low tire pressure may cause blowout
of the tire at high speeds and loads. You
can cause an accident and thus injuries to
others due to this.
Tire profiles
A minimum profile depth is prescribed for
tires by law. Observe the legislation for the
relevant country.
For safety reasons, change your tires
before reaching the legally advised
minimum profile depth.
WARNING
An excessively low tire profile may cause
loss of handling at high speeds in case
of rain or snow mud conditions. You may
loose your handling and cause an accident
in these conditions.
The Condition of the Tires
Check the following conditions regularly
every 2 weeks and before a long haul to
inspect the condition of the tires:
- External damage
- Cracks and bulges on the tires,
- Foreign material in the tire profile,
- Irregular wear of the profile.
WARNING
Do not forget that the external damages,
bulges and cracks on the tires may cause
blowout of the tire. You may cause an
accident in these conditions.
- 11 -
The Aging of the Tires
Aging of the tires reduce the operation and
traffic safety of the tires. Even unused tires
are aged.
Always replace your tires if they are aged
more than 6 years.
Tire Damages
Tire damages are usually caused by the
following reasons:
- Aging of the tire
- Foreign material
- Usage conditions of the vehicle
- Weather conditions
- Oil, fuel, grease etc. - Contact with
materials
-Dragging on the sidewalks
- Low or high tire pressure
WARNING
When your vehicle passes over the sides
of the sidewalks or objects with sharp
edges, this may cause damages that
cannot be seen externally.
These damages can only be noticed in
the future and cause a flat tire.
Do not park your vehicle with some part
of the tire on the sidewalk.

General Safety Warnings
WARNING
Failure to observe following conditions
may cause accidents which may result in
serious injuries.
-Using a mobile phone while driving may
distract you.
-Do not adjust the seat and steering wheel
while driving.
-Occupants travelling on any other place
than seats (e.g. on the bed) may cause
serious injuries while braking.
-Do not put load on the beds inside the
cab. This may cause serious injuries while
braking.
WARNING
Make sure that the heater is off before
refuelling of the vehicles with additional
fuel tank for additional cab heater.
WARNING
Do not carry or store material harmful to
the health inside the driver cab.
Examples of these materials are:
- Fuel
- Acid
- Lubricants and grease
-Cleaning agents
Vehicle Tracking Safety System
Fleet tracking systems are also used for
finding the location of the vehicle in case
of car theft.
However if the vehicle tracking module is
removed, the location of the vehicle can
not be found.
Vehicle Tracking Safety System eliminates
this problem which is the weak point
of the fleet tracking systems, since the
module can not be removed and prevents
the stolen vehicle from being driving away.
In vehicles with optional vehicle tracking
safety system, starting may be last up
to 35 seconds when the disconnecting
switch shut off because of the safety
package.
After the ignition is on, wait for the red
immobilizer light
to dim out before
starting.
If the instrument panel and FMS can not
communicate while the ignition is on, the
vehicle can not be started.
- 12 -
This prevents the starting of the vehicle
without GPS tracking. Vehicle can not be
started and indicates a warning in this
case.
Cleaning of Exhaust Filter
The exhaust filter found in Euro 6 vehicles
retains the smut coming from the exhaust
gas and decreases the emission values.
With the exhaust filter cleaning operation
which can be performed automatically
or manually, the smut retained in the
filter is burned with regular intervals so
that the filter is emptied before filling up
and being clogged. In this operation, the
exhaust gas is heated by the engine and
smut is burned. Driver is informed about
the exhaust filter cleaning of the vehicle
through the messages displayed on the
indicator panel and explained in detain in
the Exhaust Filter Cleaning section
WARNING
Since the exhaust gas shall heat up during
the exhaust filter cleaning; ensure that
the vehicle is not in the same place with
flammable, inflammable and explosive
materials or in enclosed space
Safety
General Safety Warnings

shown in the figure, and if you need to
leave the vehicle when your batteries have
run out or in case of a power problem, you
shall rotate the emergency lock to lock the
doors.
Doors remain locked if the doors are
closed after rotating the emergency
Emergency lock is rotated with the metal
handle, it is possible to lock and unlock
both.
Ensure that vehicle exhaust cleaning is
not performed in locations like hazardous
material loading and unloading places or
fuelling stations. When necessary, activate
the exhaust filter cleaning prevention using
exhaust filter cleaning prevention button
CAUTION
Using exhaust filter cleaning prevention
for prolonged time may cause the exhaust
filter to be clogged and rendered unusable.

Tire Pressure and Temperature
Monitoring System
WARNING
The fact that the vehicle is equipped with
the tire pressure and temperature monitoring system does not cancel the requirement to check the tire pressures manually
periodically. Check the tire pressures periodically using a pressure indicator. Failure
to keep the tire pressures at correct value
increases the risk for damage to tires, loss
of handling, tripping over and personal
injuries.
Stop the vehicle safely,
inspect the tires and inflate
them to correct pressure if
the tire pressure low warning
lamp is lit. This system does
not replace correct tire
maintenance procedures.
Inspect tire pressures (including the spare
tire, if available) every two weeks while the
tires are cold. Inflate the tires to the correct
pressure.
You may display tire
temperatures by pressing
the OK key on the steering
wheel for a long time while
displaying the tire pressures.
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system as an assisting
feature for the driver. A warning lamp is lit
and an information message is displayed
on the indicator if the pressure of one or
more tire(s) is significantly raised or reduced, or if the temperature is significantly
raised. Pressure and temperature values
for each tire may be displayed on the relevant menu, and problematic values are
indicated with orange and excessive reduction in pressure is indicated with red.
- 32 -
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
Trip Computer
You shall ensure that the tire pressure
are correct even if the tire pressure low
warning lamp is not lit.
The tire pressure and temperature
monitoring system is equipped with a
system fault indicator to warn you when
the system does not operate correctly. The
function of the fault indicator and the tire
pressure low warning lamp is common.
When the system detects a malfunction,
the warning lamp shall flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. If the
malfunction is resumed, this is repeated
whenever you turn the ignition on.
System has detected a malfunction that
requires servicing. If the fault indicator
is lit, the system may not be able to
detect or indicate a low tire pressure.
Fault may be caused by many reasons
such as installation of spare tires or rims
that prevent the correct operation of the
system.
Always check for tire pressure monitoring
system fault warning after replacing one or
more tires or rims on your vehicle.
Ensure that the spare tires or rims installed
allow correct operation of the system.
With Tire Pressure Monitoring System
Replacement of Tires
Always have your tires inspected. We
recommend you to contact an authorized
service station.
WARNING
CAUTION
Note: Each road wheel and tire is installed
with a tire pressure sensor inside the
groove of the wheel and tire assembly.
Pressure sensor is installed to the valve
body. Tire covers the pressure sensor and
it is not possible to see the sensor without
removing the tire. Be careful to prevent
damage to the sensor while replacing the
tire.
Understanding Tire Pressure Monitoring
System
System measures the pressure and
temperature values on six tires at two
axles and sends these values to the
vehicle.
System detects the low pressure as
significantly lower than the correct
inflation pressure and the warning lamp is
illuminated. Inflate the tires to the correct
pressure.
An information message is displayed on
the indicator when the system detects a
high, low and excessively low tire pressure
and a high tire temperature
- 33 -
While the tires are inflating the system
may not react immediately to the air
added to the tires.
Sensor Learning Operation
Sensors may be used after performing
a learning operation when the tires are
replaced, when a new a sensor is used
and/or when their position on the vehicle
are changed.
Select the location of the tire to be
relearned after entering the TPMS “Tire
Pressure Sensor Learning” under the
“Maintenance” menu in the instrument
panel, and keep the OK key pressed.
Sensor is activated by increasing/
decreasing the air pressure of the relevant
tire when the message indicating that
the sensor learning operation is started
is displayed. A message indicating that
the operation is completely successfully
is displayed on the screen. Then the
new sensor is learned and its location is
specified.
Spare tire does not have a sensor at
this moment, and the following label is
attached to the tire.

Starter Protection System
Starter Protection System is a system
that prevents the burning of the starter
due to unnecessary starting operations.
Electronic control unit calculates the
maximum appropriate duration of a
starting operation by gathering many data
via the sensors on the engine to protect
the starter.
When the user exceeds the specified
maximum start duration, he is prevented
from starting again.
The system allows starting again at the
end of the period determined by the
electronic control unit.
Please follow the instructions below in
such a case.
CAUTION
If your engine is not started after some
attempts, there may another problem
in another system of your engine. First
complete the other checks, and attempt
to start again.
To stop the engine
Do not stop the engine right after
the vehicle is stopped, wait until the
turbocharger speed is reduced by
operating the engine in idle for 2 minutes.
If the engine is stopped immediately
when the vehicle is stopped, the turbo
which is rotating in high speed shall not be
adequately lubricated.
Air deflector

Brake pedal test:
There are some faults that cannot
be directly detected by EBS and
that can be detected by monitoring
the behaviour of the vehicle and the
brake system only. These monitoring
functions are called plausibility checks.
If a plausibility error is detected by EBS,
the system may be restored when the EBS
performs a system test (called reverse
test) according to legal requirements and
the test result is positive (operation of the
brake system is correct) only. This means
that a reverse test is required when the
cause of the fault corrected (in case of
a temporary fault or when the vehicle is
repaired).
In order for the EBS to perform the reverse
test, the driver shall press the brake pedal
once under a certain condition. When
the EBS requires that the pedal shall be
pressed in this way to resolve the fault,
it shall send a request with the following
fault code:

Make sure that the air is filled up. You can
tell whether the air is filled or not by the air
pressure section of the instrument panel.
Or you may wait until the driver's seat is
completely filled with air.
If the driver's seat is filled with air, this
means that there is enough air for the
transmission.
AL warning shall be displayed on
the screen if the air in the vehicle is
inadequate.
Shift to D for moving forward.
When you shift to D, the transmission shall
start in automatic drive mode and shall
select the starting gear itself, depending
on load and inclination. D shall be
displayed on the screen, indicating that the
vehicle is started in automatic mode.
Keeping the vehicle uphill and slightly
depressing the accelerator pedal shall
cause the transmission to half-clutch, the
clutch shall start to slip and it shall warm
up.
WARNING
In some cases, the transmission
software may not be able to calculate
the starting gear (when the vehicle is
started recently, when no information
received or due to calculation errors). If
you think that the transmission can not
select the appropriate gear according to

OPERATION
EBS-ESP
CAUTION
4
ESP is an auxiliary brake system. Always
remember that no system can change
the physical laws. Driving safety is
responsibility of the driver despite all
auxiliary systems.
EBS (Electronic Brake System)
EBS (Electronic Brake System) is an
integrated braking system that includes
sub-systems.
1-Braking power control:
EBS control unit adjusts the braking power
on the wheels automatically based on the
information from the load sensor and the
brake pedal travel applied by the driver.
2-Automatic braking power distribution
between axles: EBS adjusts the braking
power that will be applied to the axles
based on the axle load.
3- ABS:
ABS maintains steering control by
preventing the locking of wheels during
brakes.
4-Automatic Traction Control:
Main purpose of this function is to prevent
skidding of driven axle wheels.
a) Braking power control: The speeds of
the wheels of the driven axle are equalized
by decelerating the skidding wheel by
braking.
b) engine torque is automatically limited
to ensure that the vehicle moves stably.
5-Inertia torque control:
Wheels may skid due to the engine inertia
in slippery surfaces. Especially, when
the transmission is downshifted and/or
intarder is activated, wheels may have an
inclination to skid.
Inertia torque control system sends a
signal to engine control unit and adjusts
the engine torque to overcome the inertia
of the engine.
CAUTION
Intarder may cause the vehicle to skid in
slippery road conditions.
6- Emergency brake assist system:
System senses the braking operation and
increases braking power according to the
pedal travel.
- 128 -
CAUTION
Emergency brake assist cannot increase
the maximum capacity of braking power.
Vehicle shall be braked in the limits of
maximum braking power.
7-Tilt prevention system: System senses
the risk of tilting automatically when the
brake is applied and decreases the braking
power of front wheels and increases the
braking power of rear axle. Thus, vehicle is
prevented from tilting.

OPERATION
Lane Departure Warning System
Emergency braking system
If your vehicle is approaching a stationary
vehicle or another vehicle that is moving
in the same direction as you and the
Emergency Braking System detects the
possibility of a rear-end collision with
the motor vehicle in front of you, system
offers functionalities with the two levels
specified
below:
1. Collision warning
2. Emergency braking
Collision Warning: If the system detects
that a collision is possible, the warning
lamps
starts flashing, an intermittent
warning buzzer is heard, and a collision
warning is displayed on the screen. In
order to increase the audibility of the
audible warning, the radio is muted and
the fans of the air conditioning system
are automatically switched off during the
warning. If the system detects that you
have not taken control of your vehicle to
prevent a collision and if it is still possible
to determine that a collision is possible,
the system may start partial braking
to warn you and continues to provide
collision warnings.
Emergency Braking: If the system
continues to detect that you have not the
control of vehicle to avoid any crash and is
still capable of detecting any possibility of
crash, the system may perform full braking
to reduce the intensity of crash or to avoid
crash completely and keeps giving warning
to draw your attention.
Emergency braking system is active at
speeds above 15 km/h approximately.
The Emergency Braking System does
not become activated when the speed
difference between you and the vehicle
ahead of you is less than 10 km/h.
WARNING
Switching off the ESP function shall also
cause the Emergency Braking System to
turn off automatically.
The fact that the Emergency Braking
System warning lamp
is lit solidly
indicates that the system has been shut
down by the driver or that the system has
shut down due to a fault.
In such a case, the system is turned off. It
shall not warn you and shall not apply the
brakes.
- 135 -
WARNING
A collision warning indicates that a
possible collision is determined by the
system. If you get this warning, always
apply the brake yourself and make the
necessary manoeuvres to prevent the
collision, if required. Failure to observe
this may result in loss of control, serious
injuries or death.
WARNING
The Emergency Braking System is
a collision avoidance system; however
the system may never replace safe
and careful driving. The system works
within certain limits for certain traffic
scenarios only. The system may not
work as expected in all conditions and
circumstances. The system certainly
does not remove your responsibility to
use your car safely and carefully. Failure
to observe this warning may result in
loss of control, serious injuries or death.
The system cannot predict what
other drivers in the traffic will do. Always
leave a safe distance with the vehicle
in front of you while driving. Failure to
observe this warning may result in loss
of control, serious injuries or death.

The system is designed to provide
active driver support only to prevent a
possible frontal collision or to reduce the
severity of the collision under real traffic
conditions.
The system may not always detect
the possibility of collision and/or may not
be able to prevent the collision even if it
detects it. The system is not designed to
prevent all kinds of collisions or to detect
complex traffic conditions. Careful driving
is always the responsibility of the driver.
Always use your vehicle with caution and
be ready to apply the brakes. Failure to
observe this warning may result in loss of
control, serious injuries or death.
CAUTION
The system does not respond to
bicycles, motorcycles, pedestrians,
animals, or vehicles moving in a different
direction. Failure to observe this may result
in loss of control, serious injuries or death.
The system is not designed to prevent
accidents that may occur with stationary
vehicles. The system may only reduce
the severity of rear-end collisions that
may occur with stationary vehicles under
certain circumstances only.
The system may not work while taking
sharp turns.
Failure to observe this may result in
accidents or personal injury.
Under cold or harsh conditions, the
system may not operate or may operate
with low performance. Snow, ice, rain,
water and fog that splashes from the
wheels of the vehicle in front of you or
from the road in extreme amounts can
adversely affect the operation of the
system. Failure to observe this may result
in loss of control, serious injuries or death.
If you replace the windshield with a
windshield that is not produced by Ford,
the system may not work correctly.
Do not perform windshield repairs in the
areas in front of the camera sensor. Failure
to observe this warning may result in
accidents or injuries.
System may not detect objects with
surfaces that absorb reflections. Failure to
observe this may result in loss of control,
serious injuries or death.
System performance may be
deteriorated if the camera sensor's
sensing capability is limited. For example,
direct sunlight that dazzles the eyes,
inadequate sunlight, vehicles with rear
stop lights that do not work at night time,
narrow vehicles and unusual vehicle types
may not be detected by the system. Do
not drive recklessly relying on the system
- 136 -
and always pay attention to your speed
and your distance from the car in front.
The effectiveness of the system vary
depending on the speed, driver inputs,
heavy rainfall, the behaviour of the vehicle
in front of you, your vehicle’s condition and

back to urea tank. Urea left in the system
may harm urea system components by
freezing in cold weathers.
Important Points:
Urea system is sensitive to dirt, dust and
soil. During urea filling, ensure that dirt,
dust or contaminants do not go in the urea
tank. Ensure to fill urea to your vehicle in a
clean environment. Wipe the mud and dirt
around the tank cap away before opening
the cap. Fill urea fluid directly from its
package (can). Make sure the funnel is
clean if you will use a funnel. Do not use
funnels contaminated with fuel.
WARNING
Your Ford Trucks vehicle with Euro6
emission system is equipped with an Urea
system.
Urea system is sensitive to
contaminants.
Urea system is a selective reduction
method that removes NOx gases, which
are harmful to the environment and

• Do not fill the tank with diesel fuel.
• Do not add water to the tank to increase
urea level.
5
Quality of the fuel and engine oil used
affects Urea system.
a-) Sulphur Content in the Fuel
Low quality fuel contains high sulfur ratio.
Sulphur may cause blockage of catalyst, a
component of the urea system. You should
use EuroDiesel only in your vehicle.
b-) Engine Oil
Low quality and/or wrong viscosity oil
increases the oil vapor in the exhaust. This
may cause blockage of the catalyst.
Catalyst is a non-serviceable component
that cannot be cleaned.
Exhaust box shall be replaced as a whole
when it is blocked. Pay attention to the
quality of the urea, fuel and engine oil
used and apply all instructions about
urea system with care in order to avoid
damages with high costs.
If the exhaust temperature is consistently
low (buses, delivery trucks), efficiency
of Urea system may be reduced and
ammonia may come out.
Contact your workshop if you continuously
smell ammonia.
User shall carry out following
precautions to prevent faults and
damages in this system. Otherwise any
faults occurring should be considered
outside of the warranty cover and Ford
Otosan will not take any responsibilities!
You shall comply with the
regulations for preventing the
accidents!

Add oil if the level is less than MIN, engine
oil filler cap is on the cylinder head cover.
Wipe the surroundings of the cap before
opening it. Pay attention to cleanliness
if you would use equipment such as
measuring container, funnel etc.
Fuel consumption value:
Oil consumption amount of the engine
between 2 maintenances depends directly
on the operating conditions of the vehicle
(loaded-unloaded, short-long haul,
fuel quality, engine oil quality). Under
normal operating conditions, engine oil
consumption up to 0.8 lt / 1,000 km
between 2 maintenance operations
is acceptable. These consumption
values may vary under heavy operating
conditions.
In this case, engine oil shall be brought
to required level by adding engine oil
within 500 km maximum. We advise you
to have the engine oil adding operations
performed in Ford Trucks authorized
dealerships.
CAUTION
Do not replace engine filters and tamper
with its connections when the ignition
switch is at position 2. Important Points:
1- When the warning light illuminates,
lacking amount of oil in the engine is about
15 liters. Oil shall be add until the level
observed on the dipstick reaches a level
between MIN and MAX marks. Add oil
gradually and in a controlled manner. Run
the engine for a few minutes after each oil
adding operation. Stop the engine, wait for
10 minutes, and check the engine oil level
with oil dipstick.
2- Do not add oil more than required.
Excessive engine oil may cause faults such
as deterioration of seals, excessive heating,
blocking of catalyst, oil leaks from various
- 175 -
points on the engine.
3- Engine oils may lose their specifications
if engine oils with different specifications
and different brands are mixed.
In order to prevent costly damages to
your engine out of warranty cover, we
recommend you to top up the oil in your
engine with oils with the same brands and
specifications when adding oil is required
between 2 maintenance operations.
CAUTION
When the engine oil level is reduced
to the minimum level, “engine oil level
warning light” is illuminated on the

On-chassis fuel filter (Fuel pre-filter)
Fuel does not flow to the engine and
system takes air when the vehicle runs
out of fuel or when the low quality fuel
is frozen in the filter. After performing the
necessary corrective action, bleeding air
from the system is performed by the hand
pump.
Press until hand pump is stiffened,
and start the engine when the pump is
stiffened.
5
Fuel pre-filter performs the initial filtration
of the fuel drawn from the fuel tank. Also,
it separates the water inside the fuel and
provides fuel separated from water to the
engine.
Filtered water is collected in the container
under the filter assembly.
If the “water in fuel” warning light
illuminates when the ignition is on, loosen
or unclip the integrated water sensor
under the filter assembly and close it when
clean fuel appears.
Tighten the water sensor securely when
you are closing the tap. Otherwise, air may
enter the engine, and this may cause fuel
leak.

Engine coolant
Antifreeze does not prevent freezing
of the engine in winter only. It also
lubricates the water pump and extends
its service life. Ensure that the antifreeze
complies with the Ford specifications
when you are purchasing antifreeze.
Lime and other chemicals in the nondistilled water cause corrosion in the
cast engine block.
CAUTION
!"#
!$%
Engine coolant contains 50% antifreeze
and 50% distilled water. Coolant
circulates inside the engine block and
cools the engine components.
This fluid also cools the intarder oil in
vehicles with intarder.
Freezing temperature of the 50%
distilled water and 50% antifreeze
mixture is -37 ºC. On colder climates, it
is possible to achieve protection up to
-50ºC by adjusting the mixture ratio to
40% distilled water and 60% antifreeze.
Maximum antifreeze ratio is 60%, never
exceed this ratio.
- 179 -
CAUTION
The cover of the coolant reservoir shall
always be tightly closed.
Engine coolant reservoir is under
the hood. The coolant level shall be

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Towing the Vehicle
WARNING
Do not tow the vehicle crosswise.
5
Risk of Accident
If the vehicle is towed with the engine is
not running, the steering assist and air
supplies will not be operating.
As this would require more steering
effort, you may get out of the road or
bump the towing vehicle in curves.
You may install an emergency steering
pump.
If you agree on special signs with the
driver of the towing vehicle before
towing the vehicle, it will prevent
occurring of these kind of problems.
CAUTION
• Observe the legal requirements.
Maximum towing speed is 25 km/h, and
maximum towing distance is 100 km.
• If the conditions specified above are not
applied, detach the driveshaft from the
axle to prevent transmission damage.
• Detach the driveshaft from the axle to if
you suspect any transmission damage.
While towing your vehicle
CAUTION
• The drive shaft needs to be removed
first before towing your vehicle. If
the drive shaft is not removed, the
movement shall be transmitted from
the wheels to the transmission and
operate the internal components of
the transmission that is not pumping
oil. In such a case, you may experience
serious transmission malfunctions.
This is considered out of warranty
cover.
• Transmission latch shall be in high
range (up) and the transmission shall
be in neutral.
• Vehicle can be towed for a maximum
of 100 km.
CAUTION
• Have your vehicle towed by specialists
only. Improper towing may cause
damage to your vehicle and you may
experience serious accidents.
- 186 -
Procedures to be Performed:
• If your engine is operating, have
your vehicle towed as your engine is
operated. If it is not possible to operate
your engine, brake air pressure may be
reduced after a while and this locks
the emergency brakes. This may cause
serious accidents and damages. To
prevent this condition, discharge the
emergency brakes before towing your
vehicle or connect an air line to the air
tubes of your vehicle if the specifications
of the towing vehicle allows this.
• The drive shaft needs to be removed first
before towing your vehicle.
• The key should be on the ignition switch
and on position (1) as your vehicle has a
steering lock.
• The vehicle should only be towed with
a drawbar. Towing with soft, breakable
materials cause a serious risk of
accident.
Do not exceed the speed limit specified
by traffic law.

Disconnecting the battery terminals
WARNING
Risk of short circuit occurs when
the positive terminal of the battery
connected contacts the components of
the vehicle. Thus, the gas mixture that
may easily explode may ignite. You and
other persons may get injured in such a
condition. Do not place metal objects or
tools on the battery.

indicates that battery charge level is too
low.
In this case, best method is to leave the
vehicle running in the shortest possible
time in order to charge the batteries.
Disconnect the terminals after 5 minutes
minimum when you stop the engine. This
is needed to supply power to the Urea
system that will operate after a while
when the engine is stopped.
Otherwise, your Urea system (or vehicle)
may be damaged.
