3Break-in recommendations
N00508700255
Advanced automobile manufacturing techniques permit you to
operate your new vehicle without requiring a long break-in
period of low-speed driving.
However, you can add to the future performance and economy
of your vehicle by observing the following precautions during
the first 300 miles (500 km).
Drive your vehicle at moderate speeds during the break-in
period.

Avoid revving the engine.

Avoid rough driving such as fast starts, sudden accelera-
tion, prolonged high-speed driving and sudden braking.
These would have a detrimental effect on the engine and
also cause increased fuel and oil consumption, which
could result in malfunction of the engine components. Be
particularly careful to avoid full acceleration while in low
gear.

Do not overload the vehicle. Observe the seating capacity
(See “Cargo load precautions” on page 4-12).

Refrain from towing a trailer or other vehicle (See
“Trailer towing” on page 4-15).

Driving range
N00500700028
This value shows the distance (in miles or km) that can be
driven on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank.NOTE
If the driving range drops below 30 miles (50 km) while
the driving range is displayed, the display shows “--”.
When this occurs, replenish the fuel tank as soon as possi-
ble.

When the system cannot provide a definite value for the
driving range, the display shows “---”.

The driving range varies depending on road conditions,
the manner of driving and other related factors. Conse-
quently, the display should be used only as a guide. It is
recommended to add fuel as soon as the low-fuel warning
light in the instrument cluster illuminates.
(Refer to “Low-fuel warning light” on page 3-80.)

Refueling will update the driving range indication.

The driving range displayed is based on previous fuel
economy data. Disconnecting the battery cable will result
in the deletion of existing fuel consumption data, which
will affect the unit’s calculations.

The driving range figure can occasionally increase if the
vehicle is stopped on an incline. This is normal, as the fuel
has moved in the tank because of the incline.
Average speed
N00500800029
The average speed (B) from the time when the display was last
reset to the present moment is shown with a graph. For instruc-
tions on resetting the display, refer to “To reset the display” on
page 3-105.NOTE
The range (A) for which historical data are shown in the
graph can be changed. Refer to “Graph indication” on
page 3-106.

The unit for the average speed can be set to mph or km/h.
Refer to “Display unit selection” on page 3-106 or “Units
customization” on page 3-120.

When the system cannot provide a definite value for aver-
age speed, it is displayed as “--”.

When the roof carrier is not in use, align the crossbar markings
with the roof rail (if so equipped) markings to minimize wind
noise.
Trailer towing
N00629800234
Towing a trailer will adversely affect handling, performance,
braking, durability and driving economy (fuel consumption,
etc.).
When you do, be sure to use proper equipment and allow cau-
tious steering and braking for safe driving.
WA R N I N G
!
Make sure the crossbars are fixed securely by push-
ing forward and rearward them. Failure to do so

equipped).
