“3,000 km” or “2,000 miles” will be shown.
l When the driving range cannot be measured,
the display shows “----”.
l The driving range is shown based on the ac-
cumulated fuel consumption data, however,
may be changed depending on the driving condition (road condition, driving behavior, etc.). If the battery terminals are disconnec-
ted, the accumulated fuel consumption data will be erased. It is recommended to use the indication as reference.
l When the vehicle is fueled, the driving range
will be updated. However, if the amount of
fueling is small, the indication may not be
correct. Therefore, fill up the tank as much as possible in case of fueling.
l When the vehicle is stopped on a steep
slope, the value of the driving range may in-
crease. This is caused by the fuel movement inside the tank on the slope and is not
deemed as a failure.Resetting the driving range

Economical drivingE00600100620
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
Avoid rapid acceleration and sudden starts;
such operation will result in higher fuel con-
sumption.
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
average fuel consumption. Use roads with smooth traffic flow whenever possible. When driving on congested roads, avoid use of a
low gear at high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever pos- sible.
Speed
The higher the vehicle speed, the more fuel
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 regularintervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-ses road resistance and fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre pressures adversely affect tyre wear and driving stability.
Load
Do not drive with unnecessary articles in the
cargo area. Especially during city driving where frequent starting and stopping is nec-
essary, the increased weight of the vehicle will greatly affect fuel consumption.
Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes morefuel.
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 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.

CAUTIONlDo not remove the ignition key from the ig-
nition switch while driving. The steeringwheel will lock, causing loss of control.
l If the engine is stopped while driving, the
brake servomechanism will cease to function and braking efficiency will deteriorate. Also,
the power steering system will not function
and it will require greater manual effort to
operate the steering.
l Do not leave the key in the “ON” position
for a long time when the engine is not run- ning, doing so will cause the battery to be
discharged.
l Do not turn the key to the “START” position
when the engine is running, doing so could damage the starter motor.NOTEl For vehicles with an
A/T, when the selector
lever is in the “P” (PARK) position, do not operate the lock button of selector lever re-
peatedly for more than 30 seconds. You may
not be able to remove the key from the igni-
tion switch, because the protection circuit is
activated. If this occurs, wait a few moments before removing the key.
Refer to “Selector lever operation” on page
6-19.Steering wheel lock
E00601500227
To lock
Remove the key at the “LOCK” position.
Turn the steering wheel until it is locked.
To unlock
Turn the key to the “ACC” position while
moving the steering wheel slightly.
CAUTIONl Remove the key when leaving the vehicle.NOTElIf the front wheels are turned, the anti-theft
lock may sometimes make it difficult to turnthe key from “LOCK” to “ACC”. Firmly
turn the steering wheel to the left or to the right as you turn the key.Starting
E00601600404
Tips for starting
lDo not operate the starter motor continu-
ously for anything longer than10 seconds ; doing so could run down the
battery. If the engine does not start, turn
the ignition switch back to “LOCK” po-
sition, wait a few seconds, and then try again.
Trying repeatedly with the starter motor still turning will damage the starter
mechanism.
l If the engine cannot be started because
the battery is weak or dead, refer to the“Emergency starting” section for in- structions on starting the engine.
l The engine is well warmed up if the
coolant temperature gauge needle starts
to move (the engine speed decreases).
Extended warming-up operation will re-
sult in excessive fuel consumption.

NOTEl On vehicles with automatic transmission,
when the transfer shift lever is in “4L”, the transmission will not shift into the overdrivegear.CAUTIONl The “4L” range gives maximum torque for
lowspeed driving on steep slopes, as well assandy, muddy, and other difficult surfaces.
On vehicles with automatic transmission, do not exceed speeds of approximately 70 km/h
(43 mph) in “4L” range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways. Do-
ing so may result in excessive tyre wear, in-
creased fuel consumption, and possible noise
generation. It may also increase the differen-
tial oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, the drive train will besubjected to excessive loading, resulting in
oil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous problems. On dry paved roads and high- ways, drive the vehicle in “2H” only.Transfer shift lever operation
