NOTE
l
The values under item 12 can be varied de-
pending on the loading condition of cargo or
luggage.
Operating hints
l
To prevent the clutch from slipping (Vehicle
with a M/T only), do not rev the engine more
than is required when starting off.
l
Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l
To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l
To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower shift point before descending a
slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
an A/T, CVT or Twin Clutch SST
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes or at
low speed.
Use the sports mode (A/T or CVT) or manual shift-
ing (Twin Clutch SST) in mountainous areas in or-
der to make better use of engine braking and to as-
sist the brake system. However, be sure that the
speed does not exceed the maximum speed limit
for the selected shift position.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some me-
chanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat,
stop and check for a loose or broken water pump/
alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake
or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfacto-
ry the overheating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to be checked
at a competent service centre.
CAUTION
l
If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For
emergencies” prior to taking any correc-
tive action.
l
On vehicles equipped with A/T, CVT or
Twin Clutch SST, if the warning dis-
play is showing, the temperature of the au-
tomatic transmission fluid, CVT fluid or
Twin Clutch SST fluid is high.
Read the reference page and take the re-
quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in
the A/T” on page 4-28, “When a malfunc-
tion occurs in the CVT” on page 4-34 or
“Warning display” on page 4-43.
