Economical driving
E00600101076
For
economical driving, there are some technical re-
quirements that have to be met. The prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle
and the most economical 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 hab-
its as well as the particular operating 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 the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts, as
they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed. Always use the highest shift position possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode (4WD
vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to “2WD”
when driving on normal roads and express ways to
obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the aver-
age fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traf-
fic flow whenever possible. When driving on con-
gested roads, avoid use of a low shift position at
high engine speeds. Idling
The
vehicle consumes fuel even during idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of
the accelerator pedal will save a significant amount
of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular inter-
vals. Low tyre inflation pressure increases road re-
sistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low
tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driv-
ing stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with un-
necessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase fuel consump-
tion.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes more fuel.
Unnecessary fuel consumption is also caused by
keeping a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Air conditioning
The use of the air conditioning will increase the
fuel consumption. Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving
after drinking alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with blood alcohol levels far below the legal mini-
mum. If you have been drinking, 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 sober.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription drugs af-
fect your alertness, perception and reaction time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your
perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. Starting and driving

Parking brake
E00600501243
To
park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake.
To apply 1- Firmly
depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up without pushing the but-
ton at the end of hand grip. CAUTION
l
When
you intend to apply the parking
brake, firmly press the brake pedal to
bring the vehicle to a complete stop be-
fore pulling the parking brake lever. Pull-
ing the parking brake lever with the vehi-
cle moving could make the rear wheels
lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake
malfunction. NOTE
l Apply
sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the
foot brake is released.
l If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle
stationary after the foot brake is released,
have your vehicle checked immediately.
To release 1- Firmly
depress and hold the brake pedal,
then pull the lever up slightly.
2- Push the button at the end of hand grip.
3- Lower the lever fully. CAUTION
l
Before
driving, be sure that the parking
brake is fully released and brake warning
lamp is off.
If you drive without the parking brake
fully released, the warning display will ap-
pear on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
If a vehicle is driven without releasing the
parking brake, the brake will be overhea-
ted, resulting in ineffective braking and
possible brake failure.

tomatically cuts out the power for the audio system
and other electric devices that can be operated with
that position.
When the ignition switch is turned from the “ACC”
position, the power is supplied again to those devi-
ces.
NOTE
l It is possible to modify functions as follows:
• The time until the power cuts out can bechanged to about 60 minutes.
• The ACC power auto-cutout function can be deactivated.
