Economical drivingE00600102422
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave 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 habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispressed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at regular intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al- so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. 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 so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:

NOTElIn addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.
Each tyre, including the spare (if so equip-
ped), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer on the tyre inflation pressure label. (If your vehiclehas tyres of a different size than the size indi-
cated on the tyre inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tyre inflationpressure for those tyres.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped with the tyre pressure moni- toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low
tyre pressure telltale when one or more of
your tyres is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tyre pressure tell- tale illuminates, you should stop and checkyour tyres as soon as possible, and inflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a sig- nificantly under-inflated tyre causes the tyre
to overheat and can lead to tyre failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is not a substitute for proper
tyre maintenance, and it is the driver’s re- sponsibility to maintain correct tyre pressure,even if under-inflation has not reached thelevel to trigger illumination of the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) low tyre
pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a warning lamp to indicate when the system is
not operating properly.
The warning lamp is combined with the low
tyre pressure telltale.
When the system detects a malfunction, the
telltale will flash for approximately one mi- nute and then remain continuously illumina- ted. This sequence will continue upon subse-
quent vehicle start-ups as long as the mal-
function exists.
When the warning lamp is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tyre pressure as intended.The tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)
malfunctions may occur for a variety of rea-
sons, including the installation of replace- ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehi-cle that prevent the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) from functioning properly.
Always check the tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS) malfunction telltale after re-
placing one or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or al- ternate tyres and wheels allow the tyre pres-
sure monitoring system (TPMS) to continue to function properly.If the warning lamp/display il-
luminates while driving
E00637300079
1. If the warning lamp illuminates, avoid
hard braking, sharp steering manoeuvres
and high speeds. You should stop and adjust the tyres to the proper inflationpressure as soon as possible. Adjust the spare tyre at the same time. Refer to
“Tyres” on page 11-10.
NOTEl In addition, the warning display will be dis-
played on the information screen in the mul-
ti-information display.

CAUTIONlAs your vehicle is equipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sensor
before washing the vehicle. Otherwise, the wipers will operate in the presence of waterspray on the windscreen and may get dam-
aged as a result.
l Refrain from excessively using a car wash as
its brushes may scratch the paint surface,
causing it to lose its gloss. Scratches will be
especially visible on darker coloured vehi-
cles.
l Never spray or splash water on the electrical
components in the engine compartment. Do- ing so could have an adverse effect on the
Plug-in Hybrid EV system startability.
Exercise caution also when washing the un-
derbody; be careful not to spray water into the engine compartment.
l Some types of hot water washing equipment
apply high pressure and heat to the vehicle. They may cause heat distortion and damage
to the vehicle resin parts and may result in flooding of the vehicle interior.
Therefore:
• Maintain a distance of approx. 70 cm or
more between the vehicle body and the washing nozzle.
• When washing around the door glass,
hold the nozzle at a distance of more than
70 cm and at right angles to the glass sur- face.CAUTIONl After washing the vehicle, drive the vehicle
slowly while lightly depressing the brake
pedal several times in order to dry out the
brakes.
Leaving the brakes wet could result in re- duced braking performance. Also, there is a possibility that they could freeze up or be-
come inoperative due to rust, rendering the vehicle unable to move.
l When using an automatic car wash, pay at-
tention to the following items, referring to the operation manual or consulting a car
wash operator. If the following procedure is not followed, it could result in damage to
your vehicle.
• The outside mirrors are retracted.
• The wiper arms are secured in place with
tape.
• As your vehicle is equipped with roof
rails, consult a car wash operator before using a car wash.
• As your vehicle is equipped with the rain
sensor, place the wiper switch lever in the“OFF” position to deactivate the rain sen-
sor.
• Make sure that the charging lid and the
fuel lid are completely closed.
• If your vehicle is equipped with the Ultra-
sonic misacceleration Mitigation System
(UMS), turn the system off by using “FCM and UMS ON/OFF switch” on page 7-68.During cold weather
Salt and other chemicals spread on the roads
in some areas in winter can have a harmful effect on the vehicle body. You should there-
fore wash the vehicle as often as possible in accordance with our care-instructions. It is
recommended to have a preservative applied
and the underfloor protection checked before and after the cold weather season.
After washing your vehicle, wipe off all wa- terdrops from the rubber parts around the
doors to prevent the doors from freezing.
NOTEl To prevent freezing of the weatherstripping
on the doors, bonnet, etc., they should be treated with silicone spray.Waxing
E00901000919
Waxing the vehicle will help prevent the ad-
herence of dust and road chemicals to the paintwork. Apply a wax solution after wash- ing the vehicle, or at least once every three
months to assist displacing of water.
Do not wax your vehicle in direct sunlight.
You should wax after the surfaces have
cooled.
For information on how to use wax refer to the instruction manual of the wax.
