NOTElWhen the driving range is 50 km (30 miles)
or less, the display shows “----”.
When it is 3,000 km (2,000 miles) or more,
“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 drivingE00600100561
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 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
At higher vehicle speed, more fuel is con-
sumed. 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
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 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
E00600200067
Driving after drinking alcohol is one of the
most frequent causes of accidents.

: Illuminate
: Remain offCAUTIONl The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque
for low-speed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult
surfaces. Do not exceed speeds of approxi-
mately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or
“4LLc” position on dry paved roads and
highways. Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear, increased fuel consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, thedrive train will be subjected to excessive
loading, resulting in oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious problems. On dry
paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle
in “2H” or “4H” only.Transfer shift lever operation
E00605901444
The transfer shift lever is operated by push-
ing it down and sliding it to the desired posi-
tion.
To shift fromToProcedure2H4HThe transfer shift lever can be operated while the vehicle is either moving or sta-
tionary.
When the vehicle is not in motion, shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position before operating the transfer shift lever.
When the vehicle is moving, and only while it can be steered straight ahead, shift
the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE) position, and release the accelerator pedal before operating the transfer shift lever.4H2H or 4HLc

4-wheel drive operationE00606602344
By selecting 4-wheel drive, both axles of the
vehicle are rigidly connected with each other. This improves the traction characteristics. When turning sharp corners or moving for-
ward and backward repeatedly, however, the drive line is stressed, which is felt as a brak-
ing effect. A 4-wheel drive vehicle can accel-
erate more quickly and smoothly.
However, note that the braking distance is not shorter than that of a rear-wheel drive ve-hicle.
When using 4-wheel drive on rough roads
(snow, mud, sand, etc.), it is important to op- erate the vehicle correctly.
NOTEl The driving posture should be more upright
and closer to the wheel than usual; adjust the
seat to a good position for easy steering and pedal operation. Be sure to wear the seatbelt.
l After driving on rough roads, check each
part of the vehicle and wash it thoroughlywith water. Refer to the “Vehicle care” sec-
tion and “Inspection and maintenance fol-
lowing rough road operation” on page 6-33.
Driving on dry paved road and
highway
Select the “2H” or “4H” position to drive on
the dry paved road. Especially on dry high- way, never select the “4HLc” or “4LLc” po-sition.
CAUTIONl Selecting the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position to
drive on dry paved road will increase the
fuel consumption with possible noise gener- ation and early tyre wear.
It may also increase the differential oil tem-
perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage, component seizure, or other serious faults.
Driving on snowy or icy roads
Set the transfer shift lever to the “4H” or
“4HLc” position in accordance with the road conditions, and then gradually depress the ac-
celerator pedal for a smooth start.
NOTEl The use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l In order to ensure that the anti-lock brake
system (ABS) will operate correctly in situa-tions where tyre chains have been fitted, drive in the “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” posi-tion.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak- ing (downshifting).
