HeadlampsNOTE●
Do not leave the lights on for a long time while the engine is stationary (not running). A run-down battery could result.
●
When it rains, or when the
vehicle has been washed, the
inside of the lens sometimes becomes foggy, but this does not indicate a functional pr
oblem. When the lamp is
switched on, the heat will
remove the fog. However, if
water gathers inside the lamp, we recommend you to have it checked.
Type 1Rotate the switch to turn on the lamps.OFF All lamps off

NOTE●
When the rear window demist
er switch is pushed, the
window glass becomes warm and the wipers become operable. Refer to “Wiper deicer switch” on page 3-77.
●
If your vehicle is equipped
with heated mirrors, when the
rear window demister switch is
pressed, the outside rear-
view mirrors are defogged or
defrosted. Refer to “Heated
mirror” on page 4-14.
●
The demister switch is not to melt snow but to clear mist. Remove snow before use of the demister switch.
●
To avoid unnecessary discharge
of the battery, do not use
the rear window demister duri
ng starting of the engine or
when the engine is not running. Turn the demister offimmediately after the window is clear.
●
When cleaning the inside of
the rear window, use a soft
cloth and wipe gently along the heater wires, being carefulnot to damage the wires.
●
Do not allow objects to touch
the inside of the rear win-
dow glass, damaged or broken wires may result.

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.

Running-in recommendations
E00600401271
During the running-in period for the first 1,000 km (620 miles), it is advisable to drive your new vehicle using the following precautions as a guideline to aid
long life as well as future
economy and performance. ●
Do not race the engine at high speeds.
●
Avoid rapid starting, accelerat
ing, braking and prolonged
high-speed running.
●
Keep to the running-in speed limit shown below. Please note that the legal speed limits must be adhered to.
●
Do not exceed loading limits.
●
Refrain from towing a trailer.

CAUTION
!●
The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque for low- speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy, muddy, and other difficul
t surfaces. On vehicles
with A/T, do not exceed
speeds of approximately
70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.

NOTE●
If your vehicle is equipped with A/T, be sure to apply the parking brake before moving the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position. If you move
the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position before applying the parking brake, itmay be difficult to disengage the selector lever from the “P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong force to the selector leverto move from the “P” (PARK) position.
Parking with the engine runningNever leave the engine running while you take a short sleep/rest or while you open or cl
ose a gate or garage door, etc.
Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ven-tilated place. Leaving the engine
running risks injury or death
from accidentally moving the g
earshift lever (on M/T vehicles)
or the selector lever (on A/T
vehicles) or the accumulation of
toxic exhaust fumes in the passenger compartment.Where you park When leaving the vehicleAlways remove the key from the ignition switch and lock all doors (including the backdoor) when leaving the vehicle unat- tended.Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit area.
Steering wheel height adjustment
E00600700222
1. Release the tilt lock lever
while holding the steering wheel
up.
2. Adjust the steering wheel
to the desired height.
3. Securely lock the steering wheel by pulling the tilt lock
lever fully upward.
WARNING
!●
Do not park your vehicle in
areas where combustible
materials such as dry grass or leaves can come incontact with a hot exhaust,
since a fire could occur.

Retracting and extending the mirrors using the mirror retractor switchWith the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position, push the mirror retractor switch to retract the mirrors. Push it again to extend the mirrors to their original positions. After placing the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position, it ispossible to retract and extend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.
NOTE●
Be careful not to get your hands trapped while a mirror is moving.
●
If you move a mirror by hand or it moves after hitting a person or object, you may not be able to return it to its original position using the mirr
or retractor switch. If this
happens, push the mirror retract
or switch to place the mir-
ror in its retracted position a
nd then push the switch again
to return the mirror to its original position.
●
If the battery voltage is low
and you start the engine while
extending the mirrors, the mirrors may stop part-way. If this happens, push the mirror retractor switch to retract themirrors and then push the switch again to extend them.
●
When freezing has occurred an
d mirrors fail to operate as
intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of theretractor switch as this action
can result in burn-out of the
mirror motor circuits.
CAUTION
!●
It is possible to retract and extend the mirrors by hand. After retracting a mirror using the mirrorretractor 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 theswitch, it would not properly lock in position. As a result, it could move beca
use of the wind or vibra-
tion while you are driving, taking away your rear-ward visibility.
