Average fuel consumption
E00518200052
The average fuel consumption
during the period since the last
reset is shown in (A). The aver
age value of the fuel consump-
tion is graphed every 5 minutes and the data for up to 4 hoursare shown in (B). When you press the “MANUAL”
function button in the auto
reset mode, the mode will be changed to the manual resetmode. When you press the “AUTO” function button in the manual reset mode, the mode will be changed to the auto reset mode.
NOTE●
When you turn the ignition sw
itch to the “ON” position
after turning it from the “ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position in the manual reset mode, the auto reset mode will automatically be selected.
●
When the average fuel cons
umption cannot be calculated,
“--.-” will be shown.
●
The average fuel consumptio
n changes depending on the
driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). The indication may differ from the actual fuel consump- tion. Therefore, it is reco
mmended to use the indication as
reference.
●
The unit indication can be changed to your desired setting {km/L, L/100 km, mpg (UK GALLON), or mpg (USGALLON)}. Refer to “User customization” on page 3-46.

Resetting the averag
e fuel consumption
Press the “RESET” function button to reset the average fuel consumption indication.NOTE●
The average fuel co
nsumption can be reset separately for
the auto reset mode and for the manual reset mode.
●
When you turn the ignition key to the “ON” position about four hours (or more) after turning it from the “ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position in the autoreset mode, the average fuel
consumption indication will
automatically be reset.
Driving range
E00518300037
This value (A) shows the distance
(in km or miles) that can be
driven on the fuel remaining in the fuel tank. The driving range is graphed every 5 minutes and the data for up to 4 hours areshown in (B).

NOTE●
When the driving range is 50 km (30 miles) or less, the display shows “----”. When it is 3,000 km (2,000 miles) or more, “3,000 km” or “2,000 miles” will be shown.
●
When the driving range canno
t be measured, the display
shows “----”.
●
The driving range is shown based on the accumulated fuel consumption data, however, may be changed depending on the driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). If the battery termin
als are disconnected, the accu-
mulated fuel consumption data
will be erased. It is recom-
mended to use the indication as reference.
●
When the vehicle is fueled
, the driving range will be
updated. However, if the amount of fueling is small, the indication may not be correct. Therefore, fill up the tank as much as possible in case of fueling.
●
When the vehicle is stopped on
a steep slope, the value of
the driving range may increase.
This is caused by the fuel
movement inside the tank on the slope and is not deemedas a failure.
Resetting the driving range Press the “RESET” function button to reset the driving range plotted in graph.NOTE●
Pressing the “RESET” function button will not reset the indication (C).
●
It is possible to set the display unit to km or miles. Refer to “User customization” on page 3-46.

Economical driving
E00600100561
For economical driving, there ar
e some technical requirements
that have to be met. The prerequisite for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life ofthe vehicle and the most econo
mical operation, we recommend
you to have the vehicle checked
at regular intervals in accord-
ance with the service standards.Fuel economy and generation of exhaust gas and noise are highly influenced by personal driving habits as well as the par- ticular operating conditions. The following points should beobserved in order to minimize w
ear of brakes, tyres and engine
as well as to reduce environmental pollution.StartingAvoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such operation will result in higher fuel consumption.ShiftingShift only at an appropriate
speed and engine speed. Always
use the highest gear possible. The transfer shift lever should be set to “2H” when driving on normal roads and express ways to obtain best possible fueleconomy.City trafficFrequent starting and stopping
increases the average fuel con-
sumption. Use roads with smooth
traffic flow whenever possi-
ble. When driving on congested
roads, avoid use of a low gear
at high engine speeds.
IdlingThe vehicle consumes fuel even during idling. Avoid extended idling whenever possible.SpeedAt higher vehicle speed, more fu
el is consumed. Avoid driving
at full speed. Even a slight re
lease of the accelerator pedal will
save a significant amount of fuel.Tyre inflation pressureCheck the tyre inflation pressure
s at regular intervals. Low tyre
inflation pressure increases ro
ad resistance and fuel consump-
tion. In addition, low tyre pres
sures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.LoadDo not drive with unnecessary articles in the luggage compart- ment. Especially during city dr
iving where frequent starting
and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers,
etc., on the roof; the increased
air resistance will increase fuel consumption.Cold engine startingStarting 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 conditioningThe use of the air conditioning
will increase the fuel consump-
tion.

Driving on dry paved road and highwaySelect the “2H” or “4H” position to drive on the dry paved road. Especially on dry highway
, never select the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position.
Driving on snowy or icy roads Set the transfer shift lever to
the “4H” or “4HLc” position in
accordance with the road conditions, and then graduallydepress the accelerator pe
dal for a smooth start.
NOTE●
The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is recommended.
●
In order to ensure that the
anti-lock brake
system (ABS)
will operate correctly in situ
ations where tyre chains have
been fitted, drive in the “4
H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position.
●
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and use engine braking (downshifting).
Driving on sandy or muddy roadsSet the transfer shift lever to the “4HLc” or “4LLc” positionand then gradually depress th
e accelerator pedal for a smooth
start. Keep the pressure on th
e accelerator pedal as constant as
possible, and drive at low speed.
CAUTION
!●
Selecting the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position to drive on dry paved road will increase the fuel consumption with possible noise genera
tion and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the di
fferential oil temperature,
resulting in possible damage to the driving system. Further, the drive train wi
ll be subjected to excessive
loading, possibly leading
to oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious faults.
CAUTION
!●
Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration, and sharp turning; such opera
tions could cause skidding
and spinouts.
