er the first time the windscreen washer lever is pulled.Precautions to observe when
using wipers and washers
z If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, put the operation mode in OFF, and then remove
the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.
z Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.
z Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro- zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
z Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
z Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen-
ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so could result in loss of washer functionand frost damage to the system compo-
nents.Wiper de-icer switch*
The rear window demister switch can be op- erated when the Plug-in Hybrid EV System is
operating.
When the front wipers have frozen to the
windscreen at the parked positions, turning on this switch will heat the windscreen to
make the wipers operable. Press the rear win- dow demister switch and the deicer will oper-
ate.

Economical driving
For economical driving, there are some tech-
nical requirements that have to be met. The prerequisite for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted engine. In order to achievelonger life of the vehicle and the most eco-
nomical operation, we recommend you to have the vehicle checked at regular intervals in accordance with the service standards.
Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas
and noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well as the particular operat-
ing conditions. The following points should be observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal is pressed way down, such as for unnecessarily
sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi- cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In
addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping
is necessary, the increased weight of the vehi- cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re-
sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the
cruising range, so maintain an appropriate temperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im-
paired even with blood alcohol levels far be- low the legal minimum. If you have beendrinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use public transportation. Drinking coffee or
taking a cold shower will not make you so-
ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re-
action time. Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driving while under the in-fluence of any of these medications.:ARN,NGz NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired.Safe driving techniques
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
