ECONOMICAL DRIVING

Gear shifting

for the road conditions will improve fuel
consumption.
Anticipation
Adjusting your vehicle speed and the
distance to other vehicles without the need
for heavy braking or acceleration will
improve fuel consumption.
Efficient speed

cruising speed on open roads will improve
fuel consumption.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
The Deflation Detection System will alert
you if there is a change of air pressure in any
tire. It does this by using the ABS sensors
to detect the rolling circumference of the
wheels. When the circumference changes,
this indicates low pressure in a tire, a
warning message is displayed in the
information display and the message
indicator will illuminate.
If a low pressure warning message is
displayed in the information display, check
the tire pressures as soon as possible and
inflate them to the recommended pressure.
If this happens frequently, have the cause
determined and rectified as soon as
possible.
Apart from a too low tire pressure or a
damaged tire, the following situations can
affect the rolling circumference:
Vehicle load is uneven.
When using a trailer or traveling up and
down an incline.
Using snow chains.
Driving on soft surfaces such as snow
or mud.
Note: The system will still function correctly,
but there may be an increased detection
time.
System reset
Note: Do not reset the system when the
vehicle is moving.
Note: You should reset the system following
any adjustment to the tire pressures or any
changing of tires.
Note: Turn the ignition on.
