improve fuel economy.
$ Y R L G H [ F H V V L Y H L G O L Q J
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a
cold engine, allow the engine to idle until
the temperature gauge pointer comes up
to the “C” position (if the idling is not pro-
hibited). In this position, the engine is suffi-
ciently warm for starting off.
$ Y R L G I D V W V W D U W V
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and
shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
$ Y R L G X Q Q H F H V V D U \ V W R S V
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed
whenever possible. Slowing down and
then accelerating again uses more fuel.
. H H S D V W H D G \ F U X L V L Q J V S H H G
Keep as constant a speed as road and
traffic conditions will permit.

The heavier the load, more the fuel vehicle
consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo
when it is not necessary.
. H H S W L U H S U H V V X U H V F R U U H F W
Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the

pressure shown on the label on the driver’s
side door or the driver’s door lock pillar. + L J K Z D \ ' U L Y L Q JWhen driving at highway speeds, pay
attention to the following:
• Stopping distance progressively
increases with vehicle speed. Apply the
brakes far enough ahead of the stopping
point to allow for the extra stopping dis-
tance.
• On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur.
Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact
between the road surface and the vehi-
cle’s tires due to a water film forming
between them. Steering or braking the
vehicle while hydroplaning can be very
difficult, and loss of control can occur.
Keep speed down when the road sur-
face is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore,
reduce speed and be prepared for unex-
pected buffeting, which can occur at the
exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut
of a hill, or when being overtaken by
large vehicles, etc.
' U L Y L Q J R Q + L O O V

• When climbing steep hills, the vehicle
may begin to slow down and show a lack
of power. If this happens, you should
shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal
power range. Shift rapidly to prevent the
vehicle from losing momentum.
• When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear.

Under wet road conditions you should
drive at a lower speed than on dry roads
due to possible slippage of tires during
braking. When driving on icy, snow-cov-
ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed
and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
braking, or sharp steering movements.
7 L U H & K D L Q VTire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Make sure that the chains you use
are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also make sure that there is enough clear-
ance between the fenders and the chains
as installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-
sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
, I < R X U 9 H K L F O H * H W V 6 W X F NIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forth
between first gear and reverse. This will
create a rocking motion which may give
you enough momentum to free the
vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator
to keep wheel spinning to a minimum
wheel rpm. Remove your foot from the
accelerator while shifting.
Do not race the engine. Excessive
wheel spin will cause the tires to dig
deeper, making it more difficult to free
the vehicle.
2)
If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, we recommend you
to consult your D X W K R U L V H G 0 D U X W L 6 X ] X N L
Z R U N V K R S or a roadside assistance
service. If a towing service is not
available in an emergency, your
vehicle may be tem-porarily towed by
a towing cable or chain secured to
the towing hook either on the front of
the vehicle or on the rear of the vehicle.
Refer to “Frame Hooks” in the
“OTHER CONTROLS AND
EQUIPMENT” section.

' U L Y L Q JExercise care in handling your vehicle. Be
conscious of not only your own safety but
also the safety of others on the road, and
thus enjoy the best and most comfortable
driving experience.
This section contains basic rules for safe
driving. Read it carefully for good under-
standing of the content so that you can
enjoy safe and pleasant driving in your
vehicle.
6 W D U W L Q J
1) Adjust the driver’s seat for the proper
driving posture.
2) Adjust the rear view mirror so as to
obtain the best possible rear view.
3) Before moving off, look forward and
back to confirm safety.4) Don’t start quickly, since it is dangerous
and wastes fuel.
* H Q H U D O G U L Y L Q J
1) Be sure to stop before the stop light and
stop sign. When moving into the inter-
section without any traffic lights or
signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.
72F-08-002
2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe
distance in order to prevent a rear-end
collision, in case the vehicle ahead
make a sudden stop.
3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30
meters before making a turn or chang-
ing the lane so as not to be hit from
behind.
4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to
a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or a cornering skid may
occur.5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch
out for the oncoming vehicle and care-
fully confirm the safety.
6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving which will
hinder your control over the vehicle and
cause an accident.
72F-08-011
% U D N L Q J
1) Use the parking brake when parking
your vehicle and shift the gear shift
lever into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.

2) Don’t use hand-braking unless una-
voidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is espe-
cially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
72F-08-012
Use foot brake in three stages
1.Warn the vehicle behind you
2.Gradually apply the brake.
3.Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3) When driving on a downhill, try not to
apply the brake but use the engine
brake effectively. Overuse of the foot
brake may result in total brake failure.
4) Avoid reckless high speed driving and
try to drive at a safe speed suitable for
the road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.
72F-08-015
5) The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver’s visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels much
fatigued.
6) Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your vehicle.
7) When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance. / R Q J G L V W D Q F H G U L Y L Q J
1) Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2) Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.
72F-08-020
1 L J K W W L P H G U L Y L Q J
1) Drive more slowly at night than in the
daytime, for the visual range is
restricted at night.
2) Don’t overtake other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgment on the vehi-
cle-to-vehicle distance.
3) Don’t use the high headlight beam
unless its use is inevitable. Its dazzle
may blitz the driver of the oncoming
vehicle, thus causing an accident.
4) Always keep the window glasses clean.
Don’t operate the windshield wiper

when the windshield glass is dry or the
wiper blade and glass may get dam-
aged.

0 D U J L Q ) R U 6 D I H W \It is important to allow yourself a margin for
safety during driving so that you can cope
with erroneous or unexpected driving of other
drivers. For that, observe the following.•Drive at a safe speed.
•Maintain a sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
• Don’t force yourself to overtake other
vehicles.
• Don’t make quick start, hard steering or
sudden stops.
• Allow an ample time in the driving
schedule.
• Observe traffic rules and regulations. & R Q F O X V L R QA perfect driver does not exist. The
endeavour of every motorist should be to
strive for perfection. Safety consciousness
not only ensures your safety and the safety
of other road users, it also helps reduce
the wear and tear on your vehicle, prolongs
its life, gives more mileage and ensures a
comfortable driving experience.
