Check engine warning lamp
E00502601696
This lamp is
a part of an onboard diag-
nostic system which monitors the emis-
sions, engine control system or automat-
ic transmission control systems.
If a problem is detected in one of these
systems, this lamp illuminates.
Although your vehicle will usually be
drivable and not need towing, we recom-
mend you to have the system checked as
soon as possible.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 3 and
Euro 4 regulation]
This lamp will also illuminate for a few
seconds when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position. If it does
not go off after a few seconds, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked.
[Vehicles to comply with the Euro 5]
This lamp will also illuminate when the
ignition switch is turned “ON”, and goes
off after the engine has started. If it does
not go off after the engine has started,
we recommend you to have the system
checked. CAUTION
l
Prolonged driving
with
this
lamp on may cause further dam-
age to the emission control sys-
tem. It could also affect fuel
economy and drivability. CAUTION
l
If the lamp
does not illuminate
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position,
we recommend you to have the
system checked.
l If the lamp illuminates while
the engine is running, avoid
driving at high speeds and we
recommend you to have the sys-
tem checked.
Accelerator pedal and brake
pedal response may be negative-
ly influenced under these condi-
tions.
NOTE l The
engine electronic
control mod-
ule accommodating the onboard di-
agnostic system has various fault
data (especially about the exhaust
emission) stored.
This data will be erased if a bat-
tery cable is disconnected which
will make a rapid diagnosis diffi-
cult. Do not disconnect a battery
cable when the check engine warn-
ing lamp is ON. Charge warning display

Economical driving
E00600100561
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 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
At higher
vehicle
speed, more fuel is consumed.
Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release 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 lug-
gage compartment. Especially during city driving
where frequent starting and stopping is necessary,
the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly af-
fect fuel consumption. Also avoid driving with un-
necessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase fuel consump-
tion.
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
E00600200067
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 cof-
fee 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. WARNING
l NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions
are
less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired. Starting and driving
4-02

OBKE12E1
CAUTION
l
Selecting the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position
to drive on dry paved road will increase
the fuel consumption with possible noise
generation and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil
temperature, resulting in possible dam-
age to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading, possibly leading to
oil leakage, component seizure, or other
serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer
shift lever to the “4H” or “4HLc”
position in accordance with the road conditions,
and then gradually depress the accelerator pedal for
a smooth start.
NOTE
l The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l In order to ensure that the anti-lock brake sys-
tem (ABS) will operate correctly in situa-
tions where tyre chains have been fitted,
drive in the “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” position.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting). CAUTION
l
Avoid sudden braking,
sudden accelera-
tion, and sharp turning; such operations
could cause skidding and spinouts. Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Set the
transfer
shift lever to the “4HLc” or “4LLc”
position and then gradually depress the accelerator
pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on the
accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and drive
at low speed. CAUTION
l
Do not
force
the vehicle or drive reckless-
ly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with
normal road surfaces, the engine and oth-
er drive-system components are put un-
der excessive strain when driving on such
a surface, and this could lead to accidents.
l If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and fol-
low these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gaugeapproaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on
page 6-04.
• A/T fluid temperature warning lamp illuminates.
Refer to “When the A/T fluid temper-
ature warning lamp comes on” on
page 4-22. WARNING
l When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck
position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-
ward or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
NOTE l Avoid
sudden braking,
acceleration, and turn-
ing; such operations could result in the vehi-
cle becoming stuck.
l If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or mud-
dy roads, it can often be moved with a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi-
cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R” (RE-
VERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and
Reverse), while applying slight pressure to
the accelerator pedal.
l It is recommended to start the vehicle with
parking brake partially, but not completely,
applied by slightly pulling the parking brake
lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do not for-
get to release the parking brake.
l If it is necessary to drive in extremely muddy
conditions, the use of tyre chains is recom-
mended. Because the extent of muddy condi-
tions is difficult to judge and the vehicle
could become bogged down very deeply, op-
eration should be at a low speed. If possible,
get out of the vehicle and check the condi-
tions ahead before proceeding. Starting and driving
