2. After adding the specified type and amount of lubricant, drive the
vehicle. It should be unloaded. Drive 1 to 2 miles (1.5 to 3 km) at
a speed lower than 25 mph (40 km/h).
This will thoroughly circulate the lubricant through the assembly.
Anti-Lock Braking System Operating Information
This vehicle may be equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS).
This ABS reduces the possibility of wheel lock-up. If a wheel is about
to lock during braking, 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.
ABS Warning Lamp
Truck/Tractor ABS Warning Lamp
A truck/tractor ABS warning lamp illuminates when the ignition switch
is first turned on and will remain on until the system self-test has been
completed successfully. Normally, the ABS lamp will remain on until a
speed of no more than 9 mph has been reached and the speed sen-
sors have been checked for correct output. The lamp should remain
WARNING! The brake system is a critical vehicle safety
system. For the safety of you and others around you, have
the vehicle submitted for periodic preventive maintenance
checks as well as having any suspected problems immedi-
ately checked by an Authorized Service Center. Failure to
properly maintain your brake system can lead to serious
injury accidents.
WARNING! Do not drive through water deep enough to wet
brake components, as it may cause the brakes to work less
efficiently than normal. The vehicle’s stopping distance
may be longer than expected, and the vehicle may pull to
the left or right when brakes are applied, which could con-
tribute to an accident.
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 any ABS lamp goes on while you are driving or
stays on after the self-check, that anti-lock system
might not be working. That ABS may not function in an
emergency. You will still have conventional brakes, but
not anti-lock brakes. If any warning lamp indicates a
problem, have that ABS checked.
