Economical drivingE00600100620
For economical driving, there are some technical re-
quirements  that  have  to  be  met.  The  prerequisite
for low fuel consumption is a properly adjusted en-
gine.  In  order  to  achieve  longer  life  of  the  vehicle
and the most economical 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 hab-
its  as  well  as  the  particular  operating  conditions.
The  following  points  should  be  observed  in  order
to  minimize  wear  of  brakes,  tyres  and  engine  as
well as to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts; such op-
eration will result in higher fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift  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 4WD vehicles on normal roads and express
ways to obtain best possible fuel economy.
City traffic
Frequent  starting  and  stopping  increases  the  aver-
age  fuel  consumption.  Use  roads  with  smooth  traf-
fic  flow  whenever  possible.  When  driving  on  con-
gested  roads,  avoid  use  of  a  low  gear  at  high  en-
gine speeds.
Idling
The  vehicle  consumes  fuel  even  during  idling.
Avoid extended idling whenever possible.Speed
The  higher  the  vehicle  speed,  the  more  fuel  con-
sumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight re-
lease of the accelerator pedal will save a significant
amount of fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check  the  tyre  inflation  pressures  at  regular  inter-
vals.  Low  tyre  inflation  pressure  increases  road  re-
sistance  and  fuel  consumption.  In  addition,  low
tyre  pressures  adversely  affect  tyre  wear  and  driv-
ing stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the cargo
area.  Especially  during  city  driving  where  frequent
starting  and  stopping  is  necessary,  the  increased
weight  of  the  vehicle  will  greatly  affect  fuel  con-
sumption.
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.Driving, alcohol and drugs E00600200012
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously impaired even
with  blood  alcohol  levels  far  below  the  legal  mini-
mum.  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 af-
fect  your  alertness,  perception  and  reaction  time.
Consult with your doctor or pharmacist before driv-
ing while under the influence of any of these medi-
cations.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your  perceptions  are  less  accurate,  your
reflexes  are  slower  and  your  judgment  is
impaired.
