Fuel requirements
Introduction
Fuel requirements
Diesel engine
Diesel fuel
Diesel engine must be operated only on
commercially available diesel fuel that
complies with EN 590 or comparable
standard. (EN stands for "European
Norm"). Do not use marine diesel fuel,
heating oils, or non-approved fuel addi
-
tives, as this will increase wear and
cause damage to the engine and fuel
system. The use of non-approved fuels
and / or fuel additives will result in a lim -
itation of your warranty rights.
Diesel fuel of above cetane 51 is used in
your vehicle. If two types of diesel fuel
are available, use summer or winter fuel
properly according to the following tem
-
perature conditions.
僅 Above -5°C (23°F) ... Summer type die
-
sel fuel.
僅 Below -5°C (23°F) ... Winter type diesel
fuel.
Watch the fuel level in the tank very
carefully : If the engine stops through
fuel failure, the circuits must be com
-
pletely purged to restart.
CAUTION
Do not let any petrol or water enter the
tank. This would make it necessary to
drain it out and to bleed the lines to
avoid jamming the injection pump and
damaging the engine.
CAUTION
Diesel Fuel (if equipped with DPF)
It is recommended to use the regulated
automotive diesel fuel for diesel vehicle
equipped with the DPF system.
If you use diesel fuel including high sul
-
fur (more than 50 ppm sulfur) and
unspecified additives, it can cause the
DPF system to be damaged and white
smoke can be emitted.
Biodiesel
Commercially supplied Diesel blends of
no more than 7% biodiesel, commonly
known as "B7 Diesel" may be used in
your vehicle if Biodiesel meets EN 14214
or equivalent specifications. (EN stands
for "European Norm"). The use of biofu
-
els exceeding 7% made from rapeseed
methyl ester (RME), fatty acid methyl
ester (FAME), vegetable oil methyl ester
(VME) etc. or mixing diesel exceeding 7%
with biodiesel will cause increased wear
or damage to the engine and fuel sys
-
tem. Repair or replacement of worn or
damaged components due to the use of
non approved fuels will not be covered
by the manufactures warranty.
CAUTION
僅 Never use any fuel, whether diesel or
B7 biodiesel or otherwise, that fails to
meet the latest petroleum industry
specification.
僅 Never use any fuel additives or treat
-
ments that are not recommended or
approved by the vehicle manufac -
turer.

Vehicle modifications
This vehicle should not be modified.
Modification of your vehicle could affect
its performance, safety or durability and
may even violate governmental safety
and emissions regulations.
In addition, damage or performance
problems resulting from any modifica
-
tion may not be covered under warranty.
僅 If you use unauthorised electronic
devices, it may cause the vehicle to
operate abnormally, wire damage,
battery discharge and fire. For your
safety, do not use unauthorised elec
-
tronic devices.
Vehicle break-In process
By following a few simple precautions
for the first 1,000 km (600 miles) you
may add to the performance, economy
and life of your vehicle.
僅 Do not race the engine.
僅 Do not maintain a single speed for
long periods of time, either fast or
slow. Varying engine speed is needed
to properly break-in the engine.
僅 Avoid hard stops, except in emergen
-
cies, to allow the brakes to seat prop -
erly.
僅 Avoid full-throttle starts.
僅 Fuel economy and engine perfor
-
mance may vary depending on vehi -
cle break-in process and be stabilized
after 6,000 km (4,000 miles). New
engines may consume more oil during
the vehicle break-in period.

Safety features of your

Seat
WARNING
Loose objects
Loose objects in the driver’s foot area
could interfere with the operation of the
foot pedals, possibly causing an acci -
dent. Do not place anything under the
front seats.
WARNING
Uprighting seat
When you return the seatback to its
upright position, hold the seatback and
return it slowly and be sure there are no
other occupants around the seat. If the
seatback is returned without being held
and controlled, the back of the seat
could spring forward resulting in acci
-
dental injury to a person struck by the
seatback.
WARNING
Driver responsibility for passengers
Riding in a vehicle with the seatback
reclined could lead to serious or fatal
injury in an accident. If a seat is reclined
during an accident, the occupant’s hips
may slide under the lap portion of the
seat belt applying great force to the
unprotected abdomen. Serious or fatal
internal injuries could result. The driver
must advise the passenger to keep the
seatback in an upright position when
-
ever the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Do not use a sitting cushion that reduces
friction between the seat and passenger.
The passenger’s hips may slide under
the lap portion of the seat belt during an
accident or a sudden stop. Serious or
fatal internal injuries could result
because the seat belt cannot operate
normally.
WARNING
Driver’s seat
僅 Never attempt to adjust the seat
whilst the vehicle is moving. This
could result in loss of control, and an
accident causing death, serious injury,
or property damage.
僅 Do not allow anything to interfere with
the normal position of the seatback.
Storing items against a seatback or in
any other way interfering with proper
locking of a seatback could result in
serious or fatal injury in a sudden stop
or collision.
僅 Always drive and ride with your seat
-
back upright and the lap portion of
the seat belt snug and low across the
hips.This is the best position to protect
you in case of an accident.
僅 In order to avoid unnecessary and
perhaps severe air bag injuries,
always sit as far back as possible from
the steering wheel whilst maintaining
comfortable control of the vehicle. We
recommend that your chest be at
least 25 cm (10 inches) away from the
steering wheel.
