Driving
WARNING
●Vehicle is driven where the road
diverges, merges, etc.
●Repair marks of asphalt, white (yellow)
lines, etc. are present due to road
repair.
●There are shadows on the road that
run parallel with, or cover, the white
(yellow) lines.
●The vehicle is driven in an area without
white (yellow) lines, su ch as in front of a
tollgate or checkpoint, or at an inter-
section, etc.
●The white (yellow) lines are cracked,
“Botts’ dots”, “Raised pavement
marker” or stones are present.
●The white (yellow) lines cannot be
seen or are difficult to see due to sand,
etc.
●The vehicle is driven on a road surface
that is wet due to rain, puddles, etc.
●The traffic lines are yellow (which may
be more difficult to recognize than
lines that are white).
●The white (yellow) lines cross over a
curb, etc.
●The vehicle is driven on a bright sur-
face, such as concrete.
●If the edge of the road is not clear or
straight.
●The vehicle is driven on a surface that
is bright due to reflected light, etc.
●The vehicle is driven in an area where
the brightness change s suddenly, such
as at the entrances and exits of tunnels,
etc.
●Light from the headlights of an oncom-
ing vehicle, the sun, etc. enters the
camera.
●The vehicle is driven on a slope.
●The vehicle is driven on a road which
tilts left or right, or a winding road.
●The vehicle is driven on an unpaved or
rough road.
●The traffic lane is excessively narrow
or wide.
●The vehicle is extremely tilted due to
carrying heavy luggage or having
improper tire pressure.
●The distance to the preceding vehicle
is extremely short.
●The vehicle is moving up and down a
large amount due to road conditions
during driving (poor roads or road
seams).

lane
●Vehicles with small rear ends (trailers
with no load on board, etc.)
●Motorcycles traveling in the same lane
●When water or snow thrown up by the
surrounding vehicles hinders the detect-
ing of the sensor
●When your vehicle is pointing upwards
(caused by a heavy load in the luggage
compartment, etc.)
●Preceding vehicle has an extremely high
ground clearance
■Conditions under which the vehicle-to-
vehicle distance control mode may not
function correctly
In the case of the following conditions,
operate the brake pedal (or accelerator
pedal, depending on the situation) as nec-
essary.
As the sensor may not be able to correctly
detect vehicles ahead, the system may not
operate properly.
●When the road curves or when the lanes are narrow
●When steering wheel operation or your
position in the lane is unstable
●When the vehicle ahead of you deceler-
ates suddenly
●When driving on a road surrounded by a
structure, such as in a tunnel or on a
bridge
●While the vehicle speed is decreasing to
the set speed after the vehicle acceler-
ates by depressing the accelerator pedal

2624-6. Driving tips
Control and maintain the vehicle at a
constant speed. Before stopping at a
toll booth or similar, allow plenty of
time to release the accelerator and
gently apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can be
regenerated when slowing down.
Use the air conditioning only when
necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive gasoline consumption.
In summer: When the ambient tem-
perature is high, use the recirculated
air mode. Doing so will help to reduce
the burden on the air conditioning sys-
tem and reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline engine
will not automatically cut out until it and
the interior of the vehicle are warm, it
will consume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by avoiding over-
use of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure frequently. Improper tire infla-
tion pressure can cause poor fuel
economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause large
amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor fuel economy.
Use tires that are appropriate for the
season. Carrying heavy luggage will lead to
poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage.
Installing a large
roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts up and
cuts out automatically when cold,
warming up the engine is unnecessary.
Moreover, frequently driving short dis-
tances will cause the engine to repeat-
edly warm up, which can lead to excess
fuel consumption.

2664-6. Driving tips
Specific design characteristics give
it a higher center of gravity than
ordinary passenger cars. This vehi-
cle design feature causes this type
of vehicle to be more likely to roll-
over. Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate than
other types of vehicles.
 An advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road allowing you to anticipate
problems.
 It is not designed for cornering at
the same speeds as ordinary pas-
senger cars any more than low-
slung sports cars designed to per-
form satisfactorily under off-road
conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at
excessive speeds may cause roll-
over.
Your vehicle is not designed to be
driven off-road. However, in the event
that off-road driving cannot be
avoided, please observe the following
precautions to help avoid the areas
prohibited to vehicles.
Utility vehicle precautions
This vehicle belongs to the utility
vehicle class, which has higher
ground clearance and narrower
tread in relation to the height of its
center of gravity.
Utility vehicle feature
WARNING
■Utility vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precau-
tions to minimize the risk of death or seri-
ous injury or damage to your vehicle:
●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person
is significantly more likely to die than a
person wearing a seat belt. Therefore,
the driver and all passengers should
always fasten their seat belts.
●Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneu-
vers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly
may result in loss of control or vehicle
rollover causing death or serious
injury.
●Loading cargo on the roof luggage
carrier will make the center of the
vehicle gravity higher. Avoid high
speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns,
sudden braking or abrupt maneuvers,
otherwise it may result in loss of con-
trol or vehicle rollover due to failure to
operate this vehicle correctly.
●Always slow down in gusty crosswinds.
Because of its profile and higher cen-
ter of gravity, your vehicle is more sen-
sitive to side winds than an ordinary
passenger car. Slowing down will allow
you to have better control.
●Do not drive horizontally across steep
slopes. Driving straight up or straight
down is preferred. Your vehicle (or any
similar off-road vehicle) can tip over
sideways much more easily than for-
ward or backward.

Maintenance and care
Remove dirt and dust using a vac-
uum cleaner. Wipe dirty surfaces
with a cloth dampened with luke-
warm water.
 If dirt cannot be removed, wipe it off
with a soft cloth dampened with
neutral detergent diluted to approx-
imately 1%.
Wring out any excess water from
the cloth and thoroughly wipe off
remaining traces of detergent and
water.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type
cleaners available. Use a sponge or brush
to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping cir-
cles. Do not use water. Wipe dirty surfaces
and let them dry. Excellent results are
obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as
possible.
■Handling the seat belts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water
using a cloth or spon ge. Also check the
belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying
or cuts.
■Front side windows with UV protective
coating (vehicles with UV protective
coating)
The front side windows have UV protective
coating. To prevent any damage to the UV
protective coating, observe the following:
●If the windows are dirty, gently wipe them with a cloth soaked in water or lukewarm
water as soon as possible.
●If the windows are very dirty, do not open
and close them repeatedly.
Cleaning and protecting the
v
ehicle interior
