• In addition to following the driving
tips in this section, it is important
to observe the following precau-
tions.
– Check that your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain
the specified tyre pressure. Refer
to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE" section
details.
– Do not use tyres other than those

WARNING
(Continued)
– Never use oversized tyres or spe-
cial shock absorbers and springs
to raise (jack up) your vehicle.
This will change the handling
characteristics. Oversized tyres
may also rub against the fender
over bumps, causing vehicle
damage or tyre failure.
– After driving through water, test
the brakes while driving at a slow
speed to see if they have main-
tained their normal effectiveness.
If the brakes are less effective
than normal, dry them by repeat-
edly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes
have regained their normal effec-
tiveness.
NOTICE
for
• Release the accelerator pedal when
operating the gearshift lever or the
transfer lever. Operating the gear-
shift lever or the transfer lever with
the engine racing can damage the
gears and the free axle mechanism.
• Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes. Pro-
longed rocking can cause engine
overheating, transmission, trans-
fer case, axles, propeller shaft or
differential damage, or tyre dam-
age.
ADVICE FOR YOUR DRIVING

Improving Fuel Economy

The following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Keep Tyre Pressures Correct
Under-inflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the cor-
rect pressure shown on the label on the
driver's side door or the driver's door lock
pillar.
Keep Weight to a Minimum
The heavier the load is, the more fuel the
vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces-
sary luggage or cargo.
Avoid Excessive idling
If you park your vehicle for more than one
minute, 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 oper-
ating temperature. Allow the engine to
warm up by driving.
