with grown grass

If you drive in the field covered with grass,
it may cause accident or vehicle damage
by getting caught in grown grass.
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.
WARNING
Do not hold the brake pedal down too
long or too often while going down a
steep or long hill. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Failure to
take this precaution could result in
loss of vehicle control.
NOTICE
When descending a downhill, never
press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF).
Emission control system and CVT
(CVT vehicle) damage may result.
WARNING
If loose grass, etc. becomes entan-
gled in drive train parts or exhaust
pipes, drive train components might
become damaged or fire may result.
