Precautions to observe when

using wipers and washers

E00507601444

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.

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

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.

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.

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

E00600102624

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.

Selecting the 4WD drive mode

(4WD vehicles)

The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving 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. After the
engine is started, commence driving as soon
as possible.

Air conditioning

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

Economical driving

Starting and driving

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 sober.
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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
