4-6. Driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside temperatures.
•Engine oil
• Engine coolant
•Washer fluid
●Have a service technician inspect the condition of the battery.
●Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the rear tires.
Ensure that all tires are the specified size and brand, and that chains match the
size of the tires.
Winter driving tips
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before driving
the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a manner appropriate
to the prevailing weather conditions.

◆Air conditioning
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help reduce
excessive fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temperature is high, use the recirculated air
mode. Doing so will help to reduce the burden on the air conditioning system
and reduce fuel consumption as well.
In winter: Turn the A/C switch on only when both heating and dehumidifying
are needed, and if only heating is needed, turn the A/C switch off. Turning the
A/C switch on when unnecessary leads to excessive fuel consumption.
◆Performing idling stops
●Avoid unnecessary idling. Stop the engine when parking the vehicle to
reduce excessive fuel consumption, even it is only for a short period of time.
●Except in severe environment, such as when the outside temperature is
extremely low, warming up the engine before driving is unnecessary.
Rather than idling, it is more efficien t to drive the vehicle gently to warm up
each part while avoiding increasing the engine revolutions unnecessarily
and accelerating or decelerating suddenly.
◆Luggage
Carrying heavy luggage will lead to poor fuel economy. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a large roof rack will also cause poor fuel
economy.
◆Regular maintenance
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy. Also, as snow tires can
cause large amounts of friction, their us e on dry roads can lead to poor fuel
economy. Use tires that are appropri ate for the season and road condi-
tions.
●Use oil and fluid of the recommended quality, which affect fuel consump-
tion and the life of the vehicle. Also, check oil and fluid periodically.
