using wipers and washers
E00507601327
l If the moving wipers become blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other deposits on the glass, the wipers maytemporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor from overheating. In this case,
park the vehicle in a safe place, put the operation mode in OFF, and then re-
move the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af- ter the wiper motor cools down, so
check that the wipers operate before us- ing them.
l Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and the blades wear out prematurely.
l Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.
l Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate the washer when the fluid reservoir isempty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.
l Periodically check the level of washer
fluid in the reservoir and refill if re- quired.
During cold weather, add a recommen- ded washer solution that will not freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could result in loss of washer function and frost damage to the system compo- nents.Wiper de-icer switch*

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:

CAUTIONlIt is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.NOTEl Be careful not to get your hands trapped
while a mirror is moving.
l If you move a mirror by hand or it moves af-
ter hitting a person or object, you may not be
able to return it to its original position using the mirror retractor switch. If this happens,
push the mirror retractor switch to place the mirror in its retracted position and then push
the switch again to return the mirror to its original position.
l When freezing has occurred and mirrors fail
to operate as intended, please refrain from repeated pushing of the retractor switch as
this action can result in burn-out of the mir- ror motor circuits.Retracting and extending the
