The display unit for fuel consumption can be
switched. The distance, speed, and amount units are also switched to match the selected
fuel consumption unit. 1. Press and hold the multi-information
meter switch for about 2 seconds or more to switch from the setting mode
screen to the menu screen.
Refer to “Changing the function settings (when the ignition switch or the opera-
tion mode is ON)” on page 5-19.
2. Lightly press the multi-information me-
ter switch to select “AVG UNIT” (fuelconsumption display setting).
Type 1Type 23. Press and hold the multi-information
meter switch for about 2 seconds or more to display “AVG UNIT” (fuel con-
sumption display unit setting).
4. Lightly press the multi-information me-
ter switch to switch in sequence from
km/L → L/100 km → mpg (US) → mpg
(UK) → RETURN → km/L.Type 1Type 2
5. Press and hold the multi-information
meter switch for about 2 seconds or more to change the setting to the selec-
ted unit.
NOTEl The display units for the driving range, the
average fuel consumption, the average speed and the momentary fuel consumption areswitched, but the units for the indicating
needle (speedometer), the odometer and the tripmeter will remain unchanged.
l The memory of the unit setting is erased if
the battery is disconnected, and it returns au- tomatically to L/100 km.
The distance and speed units are also switch-
ed in the following combinations to match the selected fuel consumption unit.

Economical drivingE00600101076
For economical driving, there are some tech- nical requirements that have to be met. Theprerequisite for low fuel consumption is a
properly adjusted engine. In order to achieve longer life of the vehicle and the most eco- nomical operation, we recommend you tohave 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 habits as well as the particular operat- ing conditions. The following points shouldbe observed in order to minimize wear of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden starts,
as they will increase fuel consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and engine speed. Always use the highest shift position
possible.
Selecting the 4WD drive mode
(4WD vehicles)
The drive mode-selector should be set to
“2WD” when driving on normal roads and
express ways to obtain best possible fuel
economy.
City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases the
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low shift position at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con- sumed. 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
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect
tyre wear and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
luggage compartment. Especially during city
driving where frequent starting and stopping is necessary, the increased weight of the ve-
hicle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Al-
so avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re- sistance will increase fuel consumption.
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.
