Precautions to observe when

using wipers and washers

E00507601473

l

If  the  moving  wipers  become  blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other
deposits  on  the  glass,  the  wipers  may
temporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor  from  overheating.  In  this  case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, turn the
ignition  switch  to  the  “LOCK”  position
or  put  the  operation  mode  in  OFF,  and
then  remove  the  ice  or  other  deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af-
ter  the  wiper  motor  cools  down,  so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.

l

Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They  may  scratch  the  glass  surface  and
the blades wear out prematurely.

l

Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check  that  the  wiper  blades  are  not  fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.

l

Avoid using the washer continuously for
more  than  20  seconds.  Do  not  operate
the  washer  when  the  fluid  reservoir  is
empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.

l

Periodically  check  the  level  of  washer
fluid  in  the  reservoir  and  refill  if  re-
quired.
During  cold  weather,  add  a  recommen-
ded  washer  solution  that  will  not  freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could  result  in  loss  of  washer  function
and  frost  damage  to  the  system  compo-
nents.

Economical driving

E00600102608

For economical driving, there are some tech-
nical  requirements  that  have  to  be  met.  The
prerequisite  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  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 habits as well as the particular operat-
ing  conditions.  The  following  points  should
be  observed  in  order  to  minimize  wear  of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.

Accelerating and decelerating

Drive according to the traffic conditions and
avoid  sudden  starts,  sudden  acceleration  and
sudden  braking,  as  they  will  increase  fuel
consumption.

Shifting

Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine
speed.  Always  use  the  highest  shift  position
possible.

The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector  should  be  set  to  “2H”  when  driving
4WD  vehicles  on  normal  roads  and  express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.

City traffic

Frequent  starting  and  stopping  increases  the
average  fuel  consumption.  Use  roads  with
smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When
driving  on  congested  roads,  avoid  use  of  a
low shift position at high engine speeds.

Idling

The  vehicle  consumes  fuel  even  during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos-
sible.

Speed

At  higher  vehicle  speed,  more  fuel  is  con-
sumed.  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
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.

Cold engine starting

Starting  of  a  cold  engine  consumes  more
fuel.  Unnecessary  fuel  consumption  is  also
caused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as
soon as possible.

Cooler or air conditioning

The  use  of  the  air  conditioner  will  increase
the fuel consumption.

Driving, alcohol and drugs

E00600200070

Driving  after  drinking  alcohol  is  one  of  the
most frequent causes of accidents.

Economical driving

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.

WARNING

l

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your  perceptions  are  less  accurate,  your
reflexes  are  slower  and  your  judgment  is
impaired.

Safe driving techniques

E00600300446

Driving  safety  and  protection  against  injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom-
mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:

Seat belts

Before  starting  the  vehicle,  make  sure  that
you  and  your  passengers  have  fastened  your
seat belts.

Floor mats

WARNING

l

Keep  floor  mats  clear  of  the  pedals  by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To  prevent  the  floor  mats  from  slipping
out of position, securely retain them using
the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.

Carrying children in the vehi-

cle

l

Never  leave  your  vehicle  unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-
hicle.  Children  may  play  with  the  driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac-
cident.

l

Make  sure  that  infants  and  small  chil-
dren  are  properly  restrained  in  accord-
ance  with  the  laws  and  regulations,  and
for  maximum  protection  in  case  of  an
accident.

l

Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve-
hicle is moving.

Loading luggage

When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above  the  height  of  seats.  This  is  dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob-
structed, but also the luggage may be projec-
ted  into  the  passenger  compartment  under
hard braking.

The lever (A) at the bottom of the mirror can
be  used  to  adjust  the  mirror  to  reduce  the
glare from the headlamps of vehicles behind
you during night driving.

1- Normal
2- Anti-glare

Type 2

When  the  headlamps  of  the  vehicles  behind
you  are  very  bright,  the  reflection  factor  of
the rear-view mirror is automatically changed
to reduce the glare.

When  the  ignition  switch  is  turned  to  the
“ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, the reflection factor of the mirror is au-
tomatically changed.

NOTE

l

Do not hang items on, or spray glass cleaner
on  the  sensor  (1),  as  reduced  sensitivity
could result.

Please  take  into  consideration,  that  ob-
jects you see in the mirror will look small-
er  and  farther  away  compared  to  a  nor-
mal flat mirror.
Do  not  use  this  mirror  to  estimate  dis-
tance of following vehicles when changing
lanes.

The  outside  mirror  can  be  folded  in  towards
the  side  window  to  prevent  damage  when
parking in narrow areas.

CAUTION

l

Do not drive the vehicle with the mirror fol-
ded in.
The lack of rearward visibility normally pro-
vided  by  the  mirror  could  lead  to  an  acci-
dent.

Except  for  vehicles  equipped

with the mirror retractor switch

Push the mirror towards the back of the vehi-
cle with your hand to retract it in. When ex-
tending  the  mirror,  pull  it  out  towards  the
front  of  the  vehicle  until  it  clicks  to  lock  in
place.

For vehicles equipped with the mirror re-
tractor switch

Retracting  and  extending  the

mirrors  using  the  mirror  re-

tractor switch

With  the  ignition  switch  or  the  operation
mode in ON or ACC, push the mirror retrac-
tor switch to retract the mirrors.
Push  it  again  to  extend  the  mirrors  to  their
original positions.

After  turning  the  ignition  switch  to  the
“LOCK”  position  or  putting  the  operation
mode in OFF, it is possible to retract and ex-
tend  the  mirrors  using  the  mirror  retractor
switch for about 30 seconds.

CAUTION

l

It  is  possible  to  retract  and  extend  the  mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the  mirror  retractor  switch,  however,  you
should  extend  it  by  using  the  switch  again,
not  by  hand.  If  you  extended  the  mirror  by
hand  after  retracting  it  using  the  switch,  it
would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult,  it  could  move  because  of  the  wind  or
vibration while you are driving, taking away
your rearward visibility.

NOTE

l

Be  careful  not  to  get  your  hands  trapped
while a mirror is moving.

NOTE

l

If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using
the  mirror  retractor  switch.  If  this  happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the
mirror in its retracted position and then push
the  switch  again  to  return  the  mirror  to  its
original position.

l

When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to  operate  as  intended,  please  refrain  from
repeated  pushing  of  the  retractor  switch  as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir-
ror motor circuits.
