Automatic headlamp levelling

(vehicles with LED headlamps)

E00517601652

This mechanism automatically adjusts the di-
rection of the headlamps (beam position) de-
pending  on  changes  in  the  condition  of  the
vehicle,  such  as  the  number  of  occupants  or
luggage  weight.  When  the  headlamps  are  il-
luminated  with  the  operation  mode  of  the
power switch in ON, the beam position of the
headlamps is automatically adjusted when the
vehicle stops.

Precautions to observe when

using wipers and washers

E00507601327

If  the  moving  wipers  become  blocked
partway through a sweep by ice or other
deposits  on  the  glass,  the  wipers  may
temporarily stop operating to prevent the
motor  from  overheating.  In  this  case,
park  the  vehicle  in  a  safe  place,  put  the
operation mode in OFF, and then remove
the ice or other deposits.
The wipers will start operating again af-
ter  the  wiper  motor  cools  down,  so
check that the wipers operate before us-
ing them.

Do not use the wipers when the glass is
dry.
They may scratch the glass surface and
the blades wear out prematurely.

Before using the wipers in cold weather,
check that the wiper blades are not fro-
zen onto the glass. The motor may burn
out if the wipers are used with the blades
frozen onto the glass.

Avoid using the washer continuously for
more than 20 seconds. Do not operate
the washer when the fluid reservoir is
empty.
Otherwise, the motor may burn out.

Periodically  check  the  level  of  washer
fluid  in  the  reservoir  and  refill  if  re-
quired.
During  cold  weather,  add  a  recommen-
ded  washer  solution  that  will  not  freeze
in the washer reservoir. Failure to do so
could  result  in  loss  of  washer  function
and  frost  damage  to  the  system  compo-
nents.

Economical driving

E00600102422

For economical driving, there are some tech-
nical  requirements  that  have  to  be  met.  The
prerequisite  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  to
have 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  should
be  observed  in  order  to  minimize  wear  of
brakes, tyres and engine as well as to reduce
environmental pollution.

Starting and acceleration

Avoid driving when the accelerator pedal is
pressed way down, such as for unnecessarily
sudden starts, acceleration and deceleration.
Smoothly depress the accelerator pedal.
Observe the speed limit and keep the speed
as constant as possible while driving.

Idling

Parking for a long period with the ready indi-
cator illuminated will shorten the cruising
range.

Speed

The higher the vehicle speed, the more drive
battery is consumed. Avoid driving at full
speed. Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of drive
battery.

Tyre inflation pressure

Check  the  tyre  inflation  pressures  at  regular
intervals. Low tyre inflation pressure increa-
ses  road  resistance  and  fuel  consumption.  In
addition,  low  tyre  pressures  adversely  affect
tyre wear and driving stability.

Cargo loads

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 vehi-
cle will greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage or
carriers, etc., on the roof; the increased air re-
sistance will increase fuel consumption.

Air conditioning

Too much cooling/heating can affect the
cruising range, so maintain an appropriate
temperature to extend the cruising range.

Driving, alcohol and drugs

E00600200070

Driving  after  drinking  alcohol  is  one  of  the
most frequent causes of accidents.
Your  driving  ability  can  be  seriously  im-
paired even with blood alcohol levels far be-
low  the  legal  minimum.  If  you  have  been
drinking, don’t drive. Ride with a designated
non-drinking driver, call a cab or a friend, or
use  public  transportation.  Drinking  coffee  or
taking  a  cold  shower  will  not  make  you  so-
ber.
Similarly,  prescription  and  nonprescription
drugs affect your alertness, perception and re-
action  time.  Consult  with  your  doctor  or
pharmacist before driving while under the in-
fluence of any of these medications.

WARNING

NEVER DRINK AND DRIVE.
Your perceptions are less accurate, your
reflexes are slower and your judgment is
impaired.

Safe driving techniques

E00600301775

Driving safety and protection against injury
cannot be fully ensured. However, we recom-
mend that you pay extra attention to the fol-
lowing:

Economical driving

OGGE19E1

Starting and driving

Seat belts

Before starting the vehicle, make sure that
you and your passengers have fastened your
seat belts.

Floor mats

WARNING

Keep floor mats clear of the pedals by
correctly laying floor mats that are suita-
ble for the vehicle.
To prevent the floor mats from slipping
out of position, securely retain them using
the hook etc.
Note that laying a floor mat over a pedal
or laying one floor mat on top of another
can obstruct pedal operation and lead to a
serious accident.

Carrying children in the vehi-

cle

Never leave your vehicle unattended
with the key and children inside the ve-
hicle. Children may play with the driv-
ing controls and this could lead to an ac-
cident.

Make  sure  that  infants  and  small  chil-
dren  are  properly  restrained  in  accord-
ance  with  the  laws  and  regulations,  and
for  maximum  protection  in  case  of  an
accident.

Prevent children from playing in the lug-
gage compartment. It is quite dangerous
to allow them to play there while the ve-
hicle is moving.

Loading luggage

When loading luggage, be careful not to load
above the height of seats. This is dangerous
not only because rearward vision will be ob-
structed, but also the luggage may be projec-
ted into the passenger compartment under
hard braking.

Parking brake

the Electric parking brake cannot be applied
or released. Refer to “Emergency starting”

ing lamp (red) will illuminate for approxi-
mately 15 seconds and then go off.

lowing  warning  display  will  appear  in  the

more after the operation is completed once).

switch is other than ON, if the Electric park-
ing brake is applied, the Electric parking
brake indication lamp comes on for a while.

If  the  Electric  parking  brake  switch  is  re-
peatedly operated in a short time, the follow-
ing warning display will appear in the multi-
information display and the Electric parking
brake will temporarily stop working. In such
case,  wait  for  approximately  1  minute  until
the  warning  display  disappears,  and  operate
the Electric parking brake switch again.

cation  lamp  on  the  Electric  parking  brake
switch  may  blink.  This  does  not  indicate  a
malfunction,  the  lamps  go  off  when/if  the
