Operating hints
lBe sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration. It is also recommended that you obey the local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at first and then more strongly.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a
blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, reference should be
made to “Engine overheating” section of
“For emergencies” prior to taking any cor- rective action.Parking
It is not recommended to park on a steep
slope while towing trailer.
If parking on a steep slope cannot be avoided,
the road grade should be less than 12% and
the following procedure performed. 1. Apply the parking brake firmly on the
vehicle and the trailer (if fitted).
2. Put the select position in “P”.
3. Place chocks or blocks at the tyres on
both vehicle and trailer.
4. Turn the front wheels into the shoulder
of the road to prevent the vehicle from moving.
Driving on long up hills while towing trailer
When the remaining quantity of the drive bat-tery is low, or high-speed driving on long up
hills at high temperature, the drive battery
output is restricted and the vehicle speed may be decreased.
The vehicle speed may be recovered if the
drive battery quantity is recovered.
NOTEl In charge mode, if the remaining quantity of
the drive battery can be increased in ad-
vance, it can prevent the vehicle speed from
decreasing on long up hills.
Refer to “Battery charge mode switch” on page 7-28.
