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.

Air conditioning switch
E00703500886
Push the switch to turn the air conditioning on, indication lamp (A) will come on. Push the switch again to switch it off.
NOTE●
If a problem is detected in
the air conditioning compres-
sor, the air conditioning operation indication lamp (A) blinks. Stop the vehicle in a sa
fe place, turn off the engine,
then restart the engine. If the air conditioning operationindication lamp does not blink, there is no problem. If it does brink, we recommend you to have it checked.
●
Sometimes, for example afte
r using a high-pressure car
wash, the condenser can get we
t, and the operation indica-
tion lamp (A) blinks temporarily. In this case there is nothing wrong. Stop the vehicl
e in a safe place, turn off
the engine, then restart the
engine. Once the water evapo-
rates, the blinking will stop.
CAUTION
!●
When using the air condit
ioning, the idling speed
may slightly increase as
the air conditioning com-
pressor is switched on/off
automatically. While the
vehicle with an A/T is st
ationary, fully depress the
brake pedal to prevent th
e vehicle from creeping.
