Driving distance on current fuel reserveThis function shows the approximate distance
that can be driven on the fuel remaining in the
tank. The calculation is based on average fuel
consumption during the last 20 miles (30 km)
of driving and the amount of fuel remaining in
the tank when the reading was taken. When the
message ---- miles to empty tank appears in
the display, refuel as soon as possible.
NOTE The actual distance that can be driven on
the usable fuel remaining in the tank may be
influenced by a change in driving style.
Resetting1.
Select Average speed or Average fuel
consumption.

Lane Departure Warning (LDW)–
general information
This function is designed to help reduce the
risk of accidents in situations where the vehicle
leaves its lane and there is a risk of driving off
the road or into the opposite lane. LDW con-
sists of a camera that monitors the lane’s side
marker lines. The driver is alerted by an audible
signal if the vehicle crosses a side marker line
or the road’s center dividing line. Operation and function
LDW can be switched on or off by pressing the
button on the center console. A light in the but-
ton illuminates when the function is on.
The trip computer display shows Lane Depart
Warn Unavailable when the function is in
standby mode.
When LDW is in standby mode, the function is
activated automatically after the camera has
monitored the road’s side marker lines and the
vehicle’s speed exceeds 40 mph (65 km/h).
Lane Depart Warn Available will be dis-
played.If the camera can no longer monitor the road’s
side marker lines, or if the vehicle’s speed falls
below 37 mph (60 km/h), LDW will return to
standby mode and
Lane Depart Warn
Unavailable will be displayed.
If the vehicle unexpectedly crosses the lane’s
left or right side marker lines, the driver will be
alerted by an audible signal.
No warning signal will be given in the follow-
ing situations:
\b The turn signal is being used
\b The driver’s foot is on the brake pedal 1
\b The throttle pedal is pressed quickly
\b If the steering wheel is moved quickly
\b In sharp turns that cause the vehicle’s
body to sway.
See page 162 for information on the camera’s
limitations.
WARNING The driver will only be warned once for each
time the wheels cross a marker line. No
alarm will be given if a marker line is
between the wheels.

A warning will be given even when Increased sensitivity has been selected. G032699 G032014

202 General information
Economical driving conserves natural
resources
Better driving economy may be obtained by
thinking ahead, avoiding rapid starts and stops
and adjusting the speed of your vehicle to
immediate traffic conditions.
Observe the following rules:
\b
Bring the engine to normal operating tem-
perature as soon as possible by driving
with a light foot on the accelerator pedal for
the first few minutes of operation. A cold
engine uses more fuel and is subject to
increased wear.
\b Whenever possible, avoid using the vehicle
for driving short distances. This does not
allow the engine to reach normal operating
temperature.
\b Drive carefully and avoid rapid acceleration
and hard braking.
\b Use the transmission\fs Drive (
D) position
as often as possible and avoid using kick-
down.
\b Do not exceed posted speed limits.
\b Avoid carrying unnecessary items (extra
load) in the vehicle.
\b Maintain correct tire pressure. Check tire
pressure regularly (when tires are cold). \b
Remove snow tires when threat of snow or
ice has ended.
\b Note that roof racks, ski racks, etc,
increase air resistance and also fuel con-
sumption.
\b At highway driving speeds, fuel consump-
tion will be lower with the air conditioning
on and the windows closed than with the
air conditioning off and the windows open.
\b Using the onboard trip computer\fs fuel
consumption modes can help you learn
how to drive more economically.
Other factors that decrease gas mileage
are:
\b Dirty air cleaner
\b Dirty engine oil and clogged oil filter
\b Dragging brakes
\b Incorrect front end alignment
Some of the above mentioned items and others
are checked at the standard maintenance
intervals.
WARNING Driving with the tailgate open: Driving with
the tailgate open could lead to poisonous
exhaust gases entering the passenger com-
partment. If the tailgate must be kept open
for any reason, proceed as follows:
\b
Close the windows
\b Set the ventilation system control to air
flow to floor, windshield and side win-
dows and the blower control to its high-
est setting.
Weight distribution affects handlingAt the specified curb weight your vehicle has a
tendency to understeer, which means that the
steering wheel has to be turned more than
might seem appropriate for the curvature of a
bend. This ensures good stability and reduces
the risk of rear wheel skid. Remember that
these properties can alter with the vehicle load.
The heavier the load in the cargo area, the less
the tendency to understeer.
Handling, roadholdingVehicle load, tire design and inflation pressure
all affect vehicle handling. Therefore, check
that the tires are inflated to the recommended
pressure according to the vehicle load. See the
"Tire pressure" section. Loads should be dis-
tributed so that capacity weight or maximum
permissible axle loads are not exceeded.
