Economical drivingE00600102220
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 and acceleration
Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal ispushed way down, such as for unnecessarily sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.
Idling
Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive battery.
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.
Air conditioning
Too much cooling/heating can affect the cruising range, so maintain an appropriatetemperature to extend the cruising range.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your driving ability can be seriously im- paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low the legal minimum. 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 so- ber.
Similarly, prescription and nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re- action time. Consult with your doctor or
pharmacist before driving while under the in- fluence of any of these medications.WARNINGl NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is impaired.Safe driving techniques
E00600301775
Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom- mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:
Economical driving
7-02OGGE14E5Starting and driving7

Seat belts
Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your seat belts.
Floor mats
WARNINGl Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping out of position, securely retain them usingthe hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.Carrying children in the vehi-
cle
l Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac- cident.
l Make sure that infants and small chil-
dren are properly restrained in accord-
ance with the laws and regulations, and
for maximum protection in case of an accident.
l Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve- hicle is moving.
Loading luggage
When loading luggage, be careful not to load above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob- structed, but also the luggage may be projec-ted into the passenger compartment underhard braking.
Parking brake
E00600501722
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-plete stop, fully apply the parking brake suf-
ficiently to hold the vehicle.
To apply
1- Firmly depress and hold the brake pedal, then pull the lever up without pushing
the button at the end of hand grip.
CAUTIONl When you intend to apply the parking brake,
firmly press the brake pedal to bring the ve-hicle to a complete stop before pulling theparking brake lever.
Pulling the parking brake lever with the ve-
hicle moving could make the rear wheels lock up, thereby making the vehicle unsta-
ble. It could also make the parking brake malfunction.NOTEl Apply sufficient force to the parking brake
lever to hold the vehicle stationary after the foot brake is released.

Parking with the engine run-ning
Never leave the engine running while you
take a short sleep/rest. Also, never leave the engine running in a closed or poorly ventila-
ted place.
WARNINGl Leaving the engine running risks injury
or death from accidentally moving the se-
lector lever or the accumulation of toxic
exhaust fumes on the passenger compart- ment.
Where you park
WARNINGl Do not park your vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry grass
or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust, since a fire could occur.
When leaving the vehicle
Always carry the key and lock all doors and
the tailgate when leaving the vehicle unatten-
ded.
Always try to park your vehicle in a well lit
area.
CAUTIONl When you leave the vehicle, be sure that you
