How to Use this Manual

Many people read their owner’s manual from beginning

to end when they first receive their new vehicle. If

you do this, it will help you learn about the features

and controls for your vehicle. In this manual, you’ll

find that pictures and words work together to explain

things quickly.

Safety Warnings and Symbols

You will find a number of safety cautions in this book.

We use a box and the word CAUTION to tell you

about things that could hurt you if you were to ignore

the warning.

CAUTION:

These mean there is something that could hurt

you or other people.

In the caution area, we tell you what the hazard is.

Then we tell you what to do to help avoid or reduce

the hazard. Please read these cautions. If you don’t,

you or others could be hurt.

You will also find a circle

with a slash through it in

this book. This safety

symbol means “Don’t,”

“Don’t do this” or “Don’t

let this happen.”

Vehicle Damage Warnings

Also, in this book you will find these notices:

NOTICE:

These mean there is something that could damage

your vehicle.

In the notice area, we tell you about something that can

damage your vehicle. Many times, this damage would

not be covered by your warranty, and it could be costly.

But the notice will tell you what to do to help avoid

the damage.

When you read other manuals, you might see

CAUTION and NOTICE warnings in different

colors or in different words.

You’ll also see warning labels on your vehicle.

They use the same words, CAUTION or NOTICE.

Vehicle Symbols

Your vehicle may be equipped with components and

labels that use symbols instead of text. Symbols,

used on your vehicle, are shown along with the text

describing the operation or information relating to a

specific component, control, message, gage or indicator.

If you need help figuring out a specific name of a

component, gage or indicator reference the following

topics in the Index:

“Instrument Panel”

“Comfort Controls”

“Audio Systems”

Also see “Warning Lights and Gages” in the Index.

These are some examples of vehicle symbols you may find on your vehicle:

Model Reference

This manual contains information which covers

conventional cab models as shown. Most models are

unfinished from the factory.

C6H042

C7H042

C7H064

Since C-Series models delivered from the factory are

finished in a variety of ways by a number of companies,

you’ll probably find other manuals in your finished

vehicle. These manuals are put there by the companies

that have added components or equipment to the

C-Series model. Read all these materials -- as well as

this manual -- carefully, to get all of the information

on your vehicle.

Seats and Seat Controls

This section tells you about the seats in your vehicle and

how to adjust them.

CAUTION:

You can lose control of the vehicle if you try

to adjust the seat while the vehicle is moving.

The sudden movement could startle and confuse

you, or make you push a pedal when you don’t

want to. Adjust the driver’s seat only when the

vehicle is not moving.

Bucket and Bench Seats

If your vehicle has a bucket or bench seat, you can

adjust it with this lever located at the front of the seat.

Slide the lever toward the outer seat support to unlock it.

Slide the seat to where you want it. Then, release the

lever and try to move the seat with your body to make

sure the seat is locked into place.

1-3

Head Restraints

Some seats have adjustable head restraints. Slide an

adjustable head restraint up or down so that the top of

the restraint is closest to the top of your head. This

position reduces the chance of a neck injury in a crash.

Seatback Latches

The full-width bench seat seatback folds forward to let

you reach the rear of the cab. Bucket seats have

outboard-mounted levers to tilt the seatbacks forward or

rearward.

Your seatback will move back and forth freely unless

you come to a sudden stop -- then it will lock into place.

The seatback latch is

located on the rear of the

seat cushion. To fold the

seatback forward, pull the

seatback toward the

front of the vehicle

as you lift this latch.
