When you change the units that average fuel consumption is displayed in, the instantaneous fuel consumption units will be changed automaticaf/y.
Driving range If you selected driving range the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates "---" for a few seconds and then indicates the current driving range when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
The driving range shown in the display is the approximate distance you can drive until the fuel gauge indicates "E", based on current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on, the display"---" will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately regardless of the value of driving range shown in the display.
When you refuel, the driving range is updated. However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.
NOTE: ff you refuel when the ignition switch is in "ON", the driving range may not indicate the correct value. When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of driving range will be shown after driving for a while.

BEFORE DRIVING
Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows instantaneous fuel con­sumption with a bar graph only when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: The display does not show the bar graph unless the vehicle is moving. Depending on the vehicle's specification, the fuel consumption units of initial set­ting are indicated as U100km, km/L or MPG (UK). The indicated maximum value of instan­taneous fuel consumption is one of the followings. No more than the maximum value will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. -For U100km setting: 30 -For km/L setting: 50 -For MPG (UK) setting: 80 The indication on the display may be delayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions. The display shows estimated values. Indications may not be the same as actual values.
2-31
Average fuel consumption If you previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
NOTE: When you reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a period of time.
You can select the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption by one of the following three methods; Reset after refuel: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automati­cally by refueling. Reset with trip meter A: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset automatically by resetting trip meter A. Reset manually: the value of average fuel consumption will be reset by push­ing and holding the indicator selector knob (3) when the display indicates the average fuel consumption.
To change the timing to reset the value of average fuel consumption, refer to "Setting mode" in this section.
NOTE: If you add only a small amount of fuel when you select "Reset after refuel", the average fuel consumption value may not be reset.
Driving range If you selected driving range the last time you drove the vehicle, the display indicates "---" for a few seconds and then indicates the current driving range when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
The driving range shown in the display is the approximate distance you can drive until the fuel gauge indicates "E", based on current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on, the display "---" will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately regardless of the value of driving range shown in the display.
When you refuel, the driving range is updated. However, if you only add a small amount of fuel, the correct value will not be displayed.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Daily inspection checklist
Before driving
60A187
1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres for the follow-ing points: -the depth of the tread groove -abnormal wear, cracks and damage -loose wheel nuts -existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc.
Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
3-1
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system while and after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed and latched. 5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera­tion. 6) Adjust the seat and head restraint. 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened by the seat belts. 1 0)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. 11 )Check all gauges. 12)Check that the brake system warning light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level 3) Brake fluid level 4) Battery fluid (acid) level 5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Check that you cannot open . the hood further without releasing the secondary latch. Close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the item "All latches, hinges and locks" of "Chassis, body and others" in "Maintenance schedule" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTE­NANCE" section for lubrication sched­ule.
A WARNING
Check that the hood is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre.

DRIVING TIPS
Catalytic converter
78RB04003
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle's exhaust. Use of lead".d fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because lead deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo­nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte­nance is required on the converter. How­ever, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the catalytic converter. This may result in permanent
4-9
heat damage to the catalytic converter and other vehicle components.
NOTICE
To mm,m,ze the possibility of cata­lytic converter or other vehicle dam­age: • Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition. In the event of an engine malfunc­tion, particularly one involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehi­cle serviced promptly. • Do not turn off the engine or inter­
rupt the ignition when the t(ans~i~­sion is in gear and the vehicle 1s m motion. Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle, or coasting down a hill. Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnos­tic testing. • Do not idle the vehicle for pro­longed periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunc­tions. Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level.
A. WARNING
Be careful where you park and drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system.
