SLIF activation / deactivation
SLIF Setting method :Cluster User Settings Driving
Assist SLIF (Speed Limit
Information Function)
The information of speed limit and no passing restriction will appear
on the cluster using a symbol if you
have activated SLIF in User
Settings of cluster.
If SLIF is activated in navigation setting, the information also dis-
played in navigation screen. Operation
If a traffic sign that is relevant to
your vehicle is passed, the system
displays the information of thespeed limits and no passing
restrictions to the driver.
When the driver turn on the igni- tion, the system displays stored
information of the speed limit
before turn off the ignition. Sometimes different speed limits
are displayed for the same road.
The information displayed depend-
ing on the situation. Because, traf-
fic signs with additional sign (e.g
rainy, arrow...) are also detected
and compared with vehicle interior
data(e.g wiper operation, turn sig-nal...).
The system can update the speed limit information without visible
speed limit signs in the following
situations.
- When you change your drivingdirection with right or left or U
turning.
- When vehicle changes roads. (e.g. from highway to countryroad…)
- When you enter or exit into town or village.

This system detects the lane with the sensor at the front windscreen and
warns you when your vehicle leaves
the lane.
LANE DEPARTURE WARNING SYSTEM (LDWS) (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING
The LDWS does not make the vehicle change lanes. It is the driver's responsibility to
always check the road condi-tions.
Do not turn the steering wheel suddenly, when the LDWS
warns you that your vehicle is
leaving the lane.
If the sensor can not detect the lane or if the vehicle speed
does not exceed 60km/h, the
LDWS won't warn you even
though the vehicle leaves the
lane.
If your vehicle has window tint or other types of coating and
accessory on the front wind-
screen, the LDWS may not
work properly.

ECONOMICAL OPERATION
Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your style of driving, where
you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects how
many kilometers (miles) you can get
from a litre (gallon) of fuel. To operate
your vehicle as economically as pos-
sible, use the following driving sug-
gestions to help save money in bothfuel and repairs:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at a moderate rate. Do not make "jack-
rabbit" starts or full-throttle shifts
and maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed to
the traffic so you do not have to
change speeds unnecessarily.
Avoid heavy traffic whenever pos-
sible. Always maintain a safe dis-
tance from other vehicles so you
can avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, especially on the highway,
is one of the most effective ways toreduce fuel consumption. Do not "ride" the brake or clutch
pedal. This can increase fuel con-
sumption and also increase wear
on these components. In addition,
driving with your foot resting on the
brake pedal may cause the brakes
to overheat, which reduces their
effectiveness and may lead to
more serious consequences.
Take care of your tyres. Keep them inflated to the recommended pres-
sure. Incorrect inflation, either too
much or too little, results in unnec-
essary tyre wear. Check the tyrepressures at least once a month.
Be sure that the wheels are aligned correctly. Improper align-
ment can result from hitting kerbs
or driving too fast over irregular
surfaces. Poor alignment causes
faster tyre wear and may also
result in other problems as well as
greater fuel consumption. Keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion. For better fuel economy and
reduced maintenance costs, main-
tain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule. If
you drive your vehicle in severe
conditions, more frequent mainte-nance is required.
Keep your vehicle clean. For maxi- mum service, your vehicle should
be kept clean and free of corrosive
materials. It is especially important
that mud, dirt, ice, etc. not be
allowed to accumulate on the
underside of the vehicle. This extra
weight can result in increased fuel
consumption and also contribute tocorrosion.
Travel lightly. Do not carry unnec- essary weight in your vehicle.
Weight reduces fuel economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. If you are waiting
(and not in traffic), turn off your
engine and restart only when
you're ready to go.

Hazardous driving conditions
When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extra
distance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped.
If stalled in snow, mud, or sand, use second gear. Accelerate slowly to
avoid spinning the drive wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, tyre chains, or other non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction
when stalled in ice, snow, or mud. Rocking the vehicle
If it is necessary to rock the vehicle to
free it from snow, sand, or mud, first
turn the steering wheel right and left
to clear the area around your front
wheels. Then, shift back and forth
between 1 (First) and R (Reverse) in
vehicles equipped with a manual
transaxle or R (Reverse) and any for-
ward gear in vehicles equipped with
an automatic transaxle / dual clutch
transmission. Do not race the engine,and spin the wheels as little as possi-
ble. If you are still stuck after a few
tries, have the vehicle pulled out by a
tow vehicle to avoid engine overheat-
ing and possible damage to the
transaxle.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle / dual clutch transmis-
sion, whilst driving on slipperysurfaces can cause an accident.
The sudden change in tyrespeed could cause the tyres to
skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
WARNING - ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on
a vehicle equipped with ABS.
CAUTION
Prolonged rocking may cause engine over-heating, transaxledamage or failure, and tyre dam- age.

Driving your vehicle
✽✽NOTICE
The ESC system should be turned
OFF prior to rocking the vehicle.
Smooth cornering
Avoid braking or gear changing in
corners, especially when roads are
wet. Ideally, corners should always
be taken under gentle acceleration. If
you follow these suggestions, tyre
wear will be held to a minimum. Driving at night
Because night driving presents more
hazards than driving in the daylight,
here are some important tips to
remember:
Slow down and keep more distance between you and other vehicles, as
it may be more difficult to see atnight, especially in areas where
there may not be any street lights.
Adjust your mirrors to reduce the glare from other driver's headlights.WARNING - Spinning
tyres
Do not spin the wheels, espe-
cially at speeds more than 56
km/h (35 mph). Spinning thewheels at high speeds when the
vehicle is stationary could
cause a tyre to overheat which
could result in tyre damage that
may injure bystanders.WARNING
If your vehicle becomes stuck in
snow, mud, sand, etc., then you
may attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and
backward. Do not attempt this
procedure if people or objects
are anywhere near the vehicle.
During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move
forward or backward as it
becomes unstuck, causing
injury or damage to nearby peo-ple or objects.

Keep your headlights clean and
properly aimed on vehicles not equipped with the automatic head-
light aiming feature. Dirty or
improperly aimed headlights will
make it much more difficult to seeat night.
Avoid staring directly at the head- lights of oncoming vehicles. You
could be temporarily blinded, and it
will take several seconds for your
eyes to readjust to the darkness. Driving in the rain
Rain and wet roads can make driving
dangerous, especially if you’re not
prepared for the slick pavement.
Here are a few things to consider
when driving in the rain:
A heavy rainfall will make it harder
to see and will increase the dis-
tance needed to stop your vehicle,
so slow down.
Keep your windscreen wiping equipment in good shape. Replace
your windscreen wiper blades when
they show signs of streaking ormissing areas on the windscreen.
If your tyres are not in good condi- tion, making a quick stop on wet
pavement can cause a skid and
possibly lead to an accident. Be
sure your tyres are in good shape.
Turn on your headlights to make it easier for others to see you.
Driving too fast through large pud- dles can affect your brakes. If you
must go through puddles, try to
drive through them slowly. If you believe you may have gotten
your brakes wet, apply them lightly
whilst driving until normal braking
operation returns.
Driving in flooded areas
Avoid driving through flooded areas
unless you are sure the water is nohigher than the bottom of the wheel
hub. Drive through any water slowly.
Allow adequate stopping distance
because brake performance may be
affected.
After driving through water, dry the
brakes by gently applying them sev-
eral times whilst the vehicle is mov-
ing slowly.
Driving off-road
Drive carefully off-road because your
vehicle may be damaged by rocks or
roots of trees. Become familiar with
the off-road conditions where you
are going to drive before you begin
driving.
