Starting and driving Precautions when setting the vehicle in motion • Do not carry containers of fuel or spray cans in the cabin. WARNING Carrying fuel in the cabin is extremely dan- Z11316 gerous because an increase in the cabin tem- perature could cause fuel vapor to catch fire or cause the container to rupture.
Page 88: Precautions For Driving
Precautions for driving Observe the following precautions while driving. Should you notice anything unusual about the vehi- cle, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place and inspect the relevant sections to find the cause of the trouble. If you are unable to identify the cause of the trouble or unable to do the repairs yourself, call an authorized dealer.
Page 89 Starting and driving • When driving on narrow streets or when making a turn, keep in mind that the tracking of the front and rear inner wheels is different, and also make sure of rearward safety using the rearview mirrors. •...
Page 90: Precautions When Driving On A Manual Transmission Vehicle
• Do not allow a child to touch the driver’s controls and other equipment. A child’s interference could cause a fault or accident. Precautions when driving on a manual transmission vehicle • Avoid slipping the clutch excessively. Partially depressing the clutch pedal while the vehicle is in motion causes the clutch to slip and shortens the service life of the clutch.
Page 91: Tips For Improving Fuel Economy
Starting and driving • If you stop the vehicle momentarily, for example, at a red light, keep the brake pedal firmly depressed. If you must wait for longer than expected, select the “N” or “P” range (“N” range on FM65F) and activate the parking brake. •...
Page 92: Braking
Braking Applying even a light pressure to the brake pedal provides powerful braking. Therefore, do not step hard on the brake pedal except in emergencies. When driving downhill, use engine braking as well as exhaust braking in combination with the foot brake.
Page 93 Starting and driving 2. Depress the brake pedal halfway when you are nearby the place at which you wish to stop. Z05577 3. Slowly release the pedal (half or one-third of the stroke which you have used until then). Z05578 4.
Page 94: On Uphill And Downhill Roads
On uphill and downhill roads 1 Uphill roads • Downshift early when the speed begins to drop to minimize the load on the engine. • With an automatic transmission vehicle, down- shifting can be performed either with the range selector lever or by depressing the accelerator Z11320 pedal hard.
Page 95: On Rough Roads And In Bad Weather
7-10 Starting and driving NOTE: • “Vapor lock” refers to the condition in which the brake system overheats, causing the brake fluid to boil and form bubbles that weaken hydraulic pressure, resulting in poor braking. • “Fading” refers to the condition in which the brake linings overheat to the point where friction with the brake drum is significantly reduced.
Page 96 7-11 • Drive very slowly on bumpy roads and try to avoid bumps to prevent bottoming out of the undercarriage. If the muffler strikes a rock or other obstacle, its catalyst or other internal elements may be dam- aged. Have it checked by an authorized dealer. •...
Page 97: Parking
7-12 Starting and driving Parking WARNING • Park the vehicle on the flattest available surface. Avoid parking on slopes. When you cannot avoid parking on a slope, apply chocks to the wheels. You can further improve safety by leaving the steering wheel turned so the vehicle will roll toward an obstacle (for example, a Z11324...
Page 98 7-13 1. Depress the brake pedal to bring the vehicle to a complete halt. 2. Parking procedures vary depending on the type of transmission used on the vehicle. Proceed as follows. • On a vehicle with manual transmission, move the gear shift lever to the “NEUTRAL” position and apply the parking brake.
Page 99: Loading Cargo
7-14 Starting and driving Loading cargo 1 Do not overload the vehicle. • Overloading places undue stress on the vehicle and shortens its service life. The vehicle is designed to perform best when loaded within its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and within its front and rear Gross Axle Z11869 Weight Ratings (GAWRs).
Page 100 7-15 • Place the cargo evenly on deck. • If cargo is piled high, the vehicle is at risk of roll- ing over upon being hit with a side wind or mak- ing a turn. • If you place supports under the cargo, position them at equal intervals.

ABS – driving hints Anti-lock brake system (ABS) The ABS operates automatically without need for any manual control. However, you are requested to read the following instructions and precautions to ensure safe driving with your ABS-equipped vehi- cle. WARNING Even the ABS cannot remove limitations on the vehicle’s running and braking perfor- mance.
Page 104 • When the ABS starts functioning after sudden braking, the steering wheel may be pulled slightly to one side because of braking power distribution control made by the system. Espe- cially in a condition where the traction is different between the right and left wheels (on a road covered by ice on one side and not on the other side, for example), you may need to correct direction with the steering wheel.
