NOTE l The value of item 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 is applicable
to unladen vehicles. This value can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
l The value of item 9 can also be varied depend-
ing on the tyre size, optional equipment and
suspension conditions.
Operating hints l Do not let the clutch slip and do not increase
the engine speed more than necessary when
starting.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower gear before descending a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis will be
under additional strain when towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling and air
resistance will increase fuel consumption.

NOTE
l For vehicles with automatic air conditioning,
an automatic fresh/recirculation control func-
tion is included to improve the efficiency of
the air conditioning. If the outside air temper-
ature rises, the air conditioning automatically
switches to the recirculation mode. To deacti-
vate the automatic fresh/recirculation con-
trol, press the air selection switch while the
ignition switch is “ON”. However, once the
automatic fresh/recirculation control is deac-
tivated, it can only be reactivated by ignition
switch is “OFF”.

the automatic fresh/recirculation control, the
air conditioning will switch to the outside air
mode for about 30 seconds at intervals of ap-
proximately 20 minutes in order to ventilate
the passenger compartment.
CAUTIONl Normally, use the outside position to keep
the windscreen and side windows clear
and quickly remove fog or frost from the
windscreen.
If high cooling performance is desired, or
if the outside air is dusty or otherwise con-
taminated use the recirculation position.
Switch to the outside position periodically

dows do not become fogged up.

ded time may cause the windows to fog up.Air conditioning switch E00703501131
