Entering and exiting the vehicle
WARNING
• Always face in when exiting the cab. Do
not attempt to exit with your back to the
cab, as you would when going down a
flight of stairs. Never put your foot on the
wheel or tire. It is easy to slip and lose
your balance.
• The step can become slippery in rain or
snow. To prevent injury, firmly hold the A-
pillar grab handle while climbing into or
down from the vehicle. Holding the A-pillar
grab handle is particularly important when
snow has settled and frozen on the step.
• Wet or dirty shoe soles greatly increase
the chance of slipping or falling. If your
soles are wet or dirty, be especially careful
when entering or exiting the vehicle. If you
slip when exiting this way, there is a
greater likelihood of personal injury.
• Always maintain three-point contact with
the vehicle while entering and exiting the
cab. Three-point contact means both feet
and one hand, or both hands and one foot.
• Do not hold luggage or other items in your
hands when entering or leaving the vehi-
cle. This could cause an injury.
• Do not jump down from the vehicle. Jump-
ing down from the vehicle could cause a
fall or injury.
• Take care when entering or leaving the
vehicle on a slope, or in a strong wind. The
door could open or close suddenly and
cause an injury.
CAUTION
• Use the cab access system (grab handles,
access step, and steering wheel) to enter or
exit the cab. Do not use any other part of the
vehicle as a handhold, since it could break.
Hold the A-pillar grab handle tightly and put your
foot fully on the step when entering or exiting the
vehicle. If you place your hand on the fender, put it
on the non-skid surface .
