Engine Coolant Temperature
Gauge
This gauge indicates the tempera-
ture of the engine coolant when the
ignition switch or Engine Start/Stop
button is ON.
Fuel Gauge
This gauge indicates the approxi-
mate amount of fuel remaining in the
fuel tank.
WARNING
Never remove the radiator cap
when the engine is hot. The
engine coolant is under pres-
sure and could severe burns.
Wait until the engine is cool
before adding coolant to the
reservoir.
CAUTION
If the gauge pointer moves
beyond the normal range area
toward the “130 or H” position, it
indicates overheating that may
damage the engine.
Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. If your vehi-
cle overheats, refer to “If the
Engine Overheats” in chapter 6.

To clean or empty the ashtray, pull it
out.
CAUTION
The use of plug-in accessories
(shavers, hand-held vacuums,
and coffee pots, for example)
may damage the socket or
cause electrical failure.WARNING- Ashtray use
• Do not use the vehicle’s ash-
tray as a waste receptacle.
• Putting lit cigarettes or match-
es in an ashtray with other
combustible materials may
cause a fire.
WARNING
• Holding the lighter in after it is
heated will cause it to over-
heat.

Driving your vehicle
60 5
• Do not "ride" the brake pedal.
Resting your foot on the brake
pedal whilst driving can be danger-
ous because it can result in the
brakes overheating and losing their
effectiveness. It also increases the
wear of the brake components.
• If a tyre goes flat whilst you are
driving, apply the brakes gently
and keep the vehicle pointed
straight ahead whilst you slow
down. When you are moving slow-
ly enough for it to be safe to do so,
pull off the road and stop in a safe
place.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an
automatic transaxle, do not let your
vehicle creep forward. To avoid
creeping forward, keep your foot
firmly on the brake pedal when the
vehicle is stopped.• Be cautious when parking on a hill.
Firmly engage the parking brake
and place the shift lever in P (auto-
matic transaxle) or in first or
reverse gear (manual transaxle). If
your vehicle is facing downhill, turn
the front wheels into the kerb to
help keep the vehicle from rolling. If
your vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
kerb to help keep the vehicle from
rolling. If there is no kerb or if it is
required by other conditions to
keep the vehicle from rolling, block
the wheels.
• Under some conditions your park-
ing brake can freeze in the
engaged position. This is most like-
ly to happen when there is an
accumulation of snow or ice
around or near the rear brakes or if
the brakes are wet. If there is a risk
that the parking brake may freeze,
apply it only temporarily whilst you
put the shift lever in P (automatic
transaxle) or in first or reverse gear
(manual transaxle) and block the
rear wheels so the vehicle cannot
roll. Then release the parking
brake.• Do not hold the vehicle on the
upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the transaxle
to overheat. Always use the brake
pedal or parking brake.

Driving your vehicle
• If your tyres are not in good condi-
tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tyres are in good shape.
• Turn on your headlights to make it
easier for others to see you.
• Driving too fast through large pud-
dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly.
• If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
whilst driving until normal braking
operation returns.Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is no
higher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks of
roots of trees. Become familiar with
the off-road conditions where you
are going to drive before you begin
driving.
Highway driving
Tyres
Adjust the tyre inflation pressures to
specification. Low tyre inflation pres-
sures will result in overheating and
possible failure of the tyres.
Avoid using worn or damaged tyres
which may result in reduced traction
or tyre failure.
✽NOTICE
Never exceed the maximum tyre
inflation pressure shown on the
tyres.
