Automatic headlamp levelling

(vehicles with LED headlamps)

E00517601652

This mechanism automatically adjusts the di-
rection of the headlamps (beam position) de-
pending on changes in the condition of the
vehicle, such as the number of occupants or
luggage weight. When the headlamps are il-
luminated with the operation mode of the
power switch in ON, the beam position of the
headlamps is automatically adjusted when the
vehicle stops.

Turn-signal lever

E00506502948

1- Turn-signals

When making a normal turn, use posi-
tion (1). The lever will return automati-
cally when cornering is completed.

2- Lane-change signals

When moving the lever to (2) slightly to
change a lane, the turn-signal lamps and
indication lamp in the instrument cluster
will only flash while the lever is operat-
ed.
Also, when you move the lever to (2)
slightly then release it, the turn-signal
lamps and indication lamp in the instru-
ment cluster will flash 3 times.

NOTE

l

If the lamp flashes unusually quickly, the
bulb in a turn-signal lamp may have burned
out. We recommend you to have the vehicle
inspected.

Precautions to observe when

using wipers and washers

E00507601327

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, 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

E00600102422

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.

Starting and acceleration

Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal is
pressed 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 vehi-
cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
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 appropriate
temperature 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.

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.
