3) Push the brightness control switch (2)
up or down to select “Tyre Press” and
push the information switch (1).
75RM333
4) The display shows current tire inflation pressure. NOTE:
• If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on, the information display will be
switched to “Tyre Press” display and the
corresponding tire pressure indication
blinks to alert you which tire(s) is(are)
low pressure.
• The display may not show the tire infla- tion pressure for about 10 minutes after
the vehicle begins to move. This is
because the TPMS system learns the
tire inflation pressure within this 10 min-
utes. The display will show the tire infla-
tion pressure after 10 minutes passed.
• If you stop the vehicle and turn the igni-
tion switch to “LOCK” position or change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), and
leave it for 20 minutes or more, tire pres-
sure will be reset and will be indicated as
0 kPa when the engine is restarted. In
this case, the current tire pressure indi-
cation will recover after driving for a
while. However, if any of tire pressures
has been detected as low pressure
before stopping the engine, the tire pres-
sure indication may not recover and may
be indicated as “---”. To set the initial value of tire pressure

For the instrument cl uster without tachom-

heat damage to the catalytic converter and

Improving fuel economyThe following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a
cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle
or apply full throttle until the engine has
reached operating temperature. Allow the
engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and
shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-
ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed
whenever possible. Slowing down and
then accelerating aga in uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Drive at a constant speed that road and
traffic conditions will permit.
NOTICE
To minimize the possibility of cata-
lytic converter or other vehicle dam-
age:
• Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition.
• In the event of an engine malfunc-
tion, particularly one involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have the vehi-
cle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or inter-
rupt the ignition when the transaxle
is in gear and the vehicle is in
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 diagnos-
tic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for pro- longed periods if idling seems
rough or there are other malfunc-
tions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
WA R N I N G
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.

Check that the hood is fully closed
and latched before d riving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
