CAUTION
(5) Turn the heater off immediately
if it appears to be malfunction-
ing during use.
NOTE
(1) Do not place heavy objects on the seat
or stick pins, needles, or other pointed
objects into it.
(2) When cleaning the seat, do not use
benzene, gasoline, alcohol, or other

the seat, allow it to dry thoroughly
before attempting to use the heater.

Suspension seat*
EG01BOS
When the vehicle is driven over rugged ter-
rain or along rough roads, this seat absorbs
the vehicle vibrations caused by the road
surface, reducing driver fatigue and pro-
viding a comfortable ride.
To adjust seat spring tension
Turn the adjusting dial (A) to get the desired
spring tension. The height and bounce of
the seat can be adjusted by using this dial.
1- Softer
2- Harder
G21D092A
To stop the suspension function
To stop the seat suspension function, set
the lever (B) to the lock position (3).
To start the seat suspension function again,
replace the lever (B) to the unlock posi-
tion (4).
NOTE
If it is hard to set the lever (B) to the lock
position (3), turn the adjusting dial (A) to a
softer position.

Item 8, 13: 5-door models only
Item 10: at kerb weight
NOTE
The values under Item 10 are applicable to
unladen vehicles. These values can also be
varied depending on the tyre size, optional
equipment and suspension conditions.
Operating hints(1) Do not let the clutch slip (vehicles with
a manual transmission only) and do not
increase the engine speed more than
necessary when starting.
(2) Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed the 100 km/h (62 mph) for
trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey
the local regulations in case driving
speed with a trailer is limited to less
than 100 km/h (62 mph).
(3) To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly
at first and then more strongly.
(4) To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before
descending a slope.
(5) The body, brakes, clutch, and chas-
sis will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
(6) The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel
consumption.Additional precautions for vehicles
equipped with an automatic transmis-
sion
The 2nd gear (in sports mode) is recom-
mended on slopes or at low speed. Use the
1st gear (in sports mode) in mountainous
areas in order to make better use of engine
braking and to assist the brake system.
However, be sure that the speed does not
exceed the maximum speed limit for the
selected gear.
