STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering
wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle with-
out the key fob. If the steering wheel is moved approxi-
mately a half turn in either direction and the key fob is
not in the ignition switch, the steering wheel will lock.

To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel

With the engine running, turn the steering wheel upside
down, turn off the engine and remove the key fob. Turn
the steering wheel slightly in either direction until the
lock engages.

To Release the Steering Wheel Lock

Insert the key fob into the ignition switch and start the
engine. If the key fob is difficult to turn, move the wheel
slightly to the right or left to disengage the lock.

NOTE:

If you turned the wheel to the right to engage

the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to
disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage
the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The Cummins

௡ turbocharged diesel engine does not

require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal
operation is allowed, providing the following recommen-
dations are followed:

• Warm up the engine before placing it under load.
• Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged

periods.

• Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent

engine lugging.
