WARNING
Failure to properly use the sleeper re-
straint when an individual is located in
the sleeper bunk and the vehicle is
moving can result in death or personal
injury.
To Lower
Upper
Bunk
Pull on the lanyard in the upper left
corner of the bunk to release the bunk.
This will free it from the anchored
position and allow you to lower the bunk.
To Raise
Upper
Bunk
Fold the upper bunk up and push it
against the retaining latch until you hear
a click. Pull on the bunk to be sure it is
latched securely.
Stopping the Vehicle
A hot engine stores a great amount of
heat. It doesn’t cool down immediately
after you shut it off. Always cool your
engine down before shutting it off. You will
greatly increase its service life.
Idle the engine at 1,000 rpm for five
minutes. Then low idle for 30 seconds
before shutdown. This will allow circulating
coolant and lubricating oil to carry away
heat from the cylinder head, valves,
pistons, cylinder liners, turbocharger, and
bearings. This way you can prevent
serious engine damage that may result
from uneven cooling.
Turbocharger
This cooling-down practice is especially
important on a turbocharged engine. The
turbocharger contains bearings and seals
that are subjected to hot exhaust gases.
While the engine is operating, heat is
carried away by circulating oil. If you stop
the engine suddenly, the temperature of
the turbocharger could rise as much as
100°F (55°C) above the temperature
reached during operation. A sudden rise in
temperature like this could cause the
bearings to seize or the oil seals to loosen.
Refueling
Air space in your fuel tanks allows water to
condense there. To prevent this
condensation while you are stopped, fill
your tanks to 95 percent of capacity. When
refueling, add approximately the same
amount to each fuel tank on vehicles with
more than one tank.
WARNING
DO NOT carry additional fuel contain-
ers in your vehicle. Fuel containers, ei-
ther full or empty, may leak, explode,
and cause or feed a fire. Failure to
comply may result in death or personal
injury.
WARNING
Diesel fuel in the presence of an igni-
tion source could cause an explosion.
A mixture of gasoline or alcohol with
diesel fuel increases this risk of explo-
sion. DO NOT remove a fuel tank cap
near an open flame. Use only the fuel
and/or additives recommended for
your engine. Failure to comply may re-
sult in death, personal injury, equip-
ment or property damage.
