*-This warning lamp shows the
case of the 5-passenger vehicles.

If the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in ON while a seat belt is not fastened, the warning
lamp comes on for approximately 30 seconds to remind the rear passenger to fasten the seatbelt.
If the vehicle is driven with the seat belt still
unfastened, the warning lamps come on for
approximately another 30 seconds. (This illu-
mination happens only the first time the vehi- cle starts moving with the seat belt still un-
fastened.)
The warning lamps go off when the seat belt is fastened.WARNINGl Do not install any accessory or sticker
that makes the lamp difficult to see.NOTEl The warning lamp comes on even if no one
is sitting on the rear seats.

WARNINGlA REARWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT must NOT be used in the front passenger seat if the front passenger’s air-
bag has not been deactivated. The force of an inflating airbag could kill or cause se-
rious injuries to the child. A rearward facing child restraint should be used in
the rear seat.
l A FORWARD FACING CHILD RE-
STRAINT should be used in the rear seat
whenever possible; if it must be used in the front passenger seat, turn off the front
passenger’s airbag ON-OFF switch. Fail- ure to do so could kill or cause serious in-
juries to the child.Infants and small children
E00406602339
When transporting infants and small children
in your vehicle, follow the instruction given below.
Instruction:
l For small infants, an infant carrier
should be used. For small children whose height when seated allows the shoulder belt to lie in contact with the
face or the throat, a child seat should be used.
l The child restraint system should be ap-
propriate for the child’s weight and
height and properly fit in the vehicle. For a higher degree of safety: THE
CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE REAR SEAT.
l Before purchasing a child restraint sys-
tem, try installing it in the seat to make sure there is a good fit. Because of the location of the seat belt buckles and the
shape of the seat cushion, it may be dif-
ficult to securely install some manufac- turer’s child restraint systems.
If the child restraint system can be
pulled forward or to either side easily on
the seat cushion after the seat belt has
been tightened, choose another manufac- turer’s child restraint system.
WARNINGl When installing a child restraint system,
refer to the instructions provided by themanufacturer of the restraint system.Failure to do so can result in severe or fa-tal injury to the child.
l After installation, push and pull the child
restraint system back and forth, and side to side, to see that it is properly secured.
If the child restraint system is not instal-
led securely, it may cause injury to the
child or other occupants in the case of ac- cident or sudden stops.
l When the child restraint system is not in
use, keep your child restraint system fixed
firmly or remove it from the vehicle in or- der to prevent it from being thrown around inside the vehicle during an acci-
dent.NOTEl Depending on the seating position in the ve-
hicle and the child restraint system that you have, the child restraint can be attached us-
ing one of the following two locations:
• Using the lower anchorage in the rear seat
ONLY if the child restraint has ISOFIX mountings (Double cab, See page 4-21).
• Using the seat belt (See page 4-21).

Economical drivingE00600102318
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.
The transfer shift lever or the drive mode-se-
lector 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 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 willsave 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.
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 alsocaused by keeping a hot engine running. Af-
ter the engine is started, commence driving as soon as possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will increase the fuel consumption.
Driving, alcohol and drugs
E00600200070
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.

When the A/T (automatic trans-mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on
E00615301236
The automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on and a buzzer may
sound, when the automatic transmission fluid
temperature becomes abnormally high. Nor- mally the warning lamp comes on when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, and then
will go off after a few seconds.
CAUTIONl If the lamp comes on, reduce the engine
speed and stop the vehicle in a safe area.Then set the selector lever to “P” (PARK)
position and idle the engine until the warn-
ing lamp goes off. When the warning lamp goes off, resume normal driving. If the
warning lamp does not go off, we recom- mend you to have your vehicle inspected.Operation of the A/T
E00604201697
CAUTIONl Before selecting a gear with the engine run-
ning and the vehicle stationary, fully depress
the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from
creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as the gear is engaged, especially when the en- gine speed is high, at fast idle or with the airconditioner operating, the brakes should on-
ly be released when you are ready to drive
away.
l Depress the brake pedal with the right foot at
all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move- ment delay in case of an emergency.
l To prevent sudden acceleration, never race
the engine when shifting from the “P”
(PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.CAUTIONl Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal will affect braking efficiency and may cause pre-
mature wear of brake pads.
l Use the selector lever in the correct shift po-
sition in accordance with driving conditions.Never coast downhill backward with the se-
lector lever in the {“D” (DRIVE) or sports mode} or coast forward with the selector
lever in the “R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine may stop and the unexpected in- crease in brake pedal effort and steering
wheel weight could lead to an accident.
l Do not race the engine with brake pedal
pressed when the vehicle is stationary.
This can damage the A/T.
Also, when you depress the accelerator ped- al while holding down the brake pedal withthe selector lever in the “P” (PARK), “N”
(NEUTRAL) or “D” (DRIVE) position, the
engine revolutions may not rise as high as when performing the same operation with
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)
position.Passing acceleration
E00604501342
To gain extra acceleration in “D” (DRIVE)
position, push the accelerator to the floor.The A/T will automatically downshift.

CAUTIONlIf the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident. When towing the vehicle with the front
wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve- hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the
ignition switch in the “ACC” position or the operation mode in ACC.
Refer to “Towing” on page 8-24.Trailer Stability Assist
(TSA) E00639500033
The trailer stability assist system helps safely running while towing a trailer by controllingthe braking force of each wheel and enginepower in order to stabilize the motion when
detecting the continuous sway of the vehicle
caused by a trailer.
When the trailer stability assist system oper- ates the brakes, the brake lamp turns on.
About the towing of the trailer, refer to page 6-83.CAUTIONl Do not over-rely on TSA system.
Due to the slippery road surface, heavy side
wind, inappropriate weight and positioning
of luggage, and/or driving at high speed, TSA system may fail to secure the stability.
Always drive appropriately in accordance with the condition of traffic, road surface
condition, weather, and the weight and posi- tioning of luggage.
l The trailer stability assist system does not
operate in case as follows:
• When sudden braking and braking while
driving downhill cause an abrupt motion
of the vehicle which makes the vehicle
and the trailer form a dogleg shape.CAUTION• When a sideslip occurs by sudden steer-
ing.NOTEl When TSA system operates, the vehicle
body may vibrate and the operating sounds
from the engine compartment may be heard.
These motions indicate normal operation of
the system, not abnormal operation.
l TSA system operates when the vehicle speed
is about 55 km/h (34 mph) or higher.
l When TSA system operates, the ASC opera-
tion indication lamp blinks on and off.
l When ASC does not work, TSA system does
not operate.Cruise control*
E00609102395
Cruise control is an automatic speed controlsystem that keeps a set speed. It can be acti-vated at approximately 40 km/h (25 mph) or
more.
CAUTIONl When you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
