AM reception This can lead to undesirable or unpleas-

ant listening conditions which might lead
you to believe a problem exists with your
radio.
The following conditions are normal and
do not indicate radio trouble:
僅 Fading - As your vehicle moves away
from the radio station, the signal will
weaken and sound will begin to fade.
When this occurs, we suggest that you
select another station with a stronger
signal.
OKYI061028
AM broadcasts can be received at

greater distances than FM broadcasts.
This is because AM radio waves are
transmitted at low frequencies. These
long distance, low frequency radio
waves can follow the curvature of the
earth rather than travelling straight. In
addition, they curve around obstructions
resulting in better signal coverage.
OKYI061029
FM radio station
僅 Flutter/Static - Weak FM signals or
large obstructions between the trans-
mitter and your radio can disturb the
signal causing static or fluttering
noises to occur. Reducing the treble
level may lessen this effect until the
disturbance clears.
僅 Station Swapping - As an FM signal
weakens, another more powerful sig-
nal near the same frequency may
begin to play. This is because your
radio is designed to lock onto the
OKYI061027
clearest signal. If this occurs, select

frequencies and do not bend to follow
the earth's surface. Because of this, FM
broadcasts generally begin to fade
within short distances from the station.
Also, FM signals are easily affected by
buildings, mountains, and obstructions.

WARNING
Cell phone use
Do not use a cellular phone whilst driv-
ing. Stop at a safe location to use a cellu-
lar phone.
OKYI061026
僅 Multi-Path Cancellation - Radio sig-

nals being received from several
directions can cause distortion or flut-
tering. This can be caused by a direct
4
and reflected signal from the same
station, or by signals from two sta-
tions with close frequencies. If this
occurs, select another station until the
condition has passed.
Using a cellular phone or a two-

way radio
When a cellular phone is used inside the
vehicle, noise may be produced from the
audio system. This does not mean that
something is wrong with the audio
equipment. In such a case, try to operate
mobile devices as far from the audio
equipment as possible.
CAUTION
When using a communication system
such as a cellular phone or a radio set
inside the vehicle, a separate external
antenna must be fitted. When a cellular
phone or a radio set is used with only the
internal antenna, it may interfere with
the vehicle's electrical system and
adversely affect the safe operation of
the vehicle.

僅 The dry-type clutch transfers torque

more directly and provides a direct-
drive feeling which may feel different
from a conventional automatic trans-
mission. This may be more noticeable
when launching the vehicle from a
stop or when travelling at low, stop-
and-go vehicle speeds.
僅 When rapidly accelerating from a
lower vehicle speed, the engine rpm
may increase dramatically as a result
of clutch slip as the dual clutch trans-
mission selects the correct gear. This
is a normal condition.
僅 When accelerating from a stop on an
incline, press the accelerator smoothly
and gradually to avoid any shudder
feeling or jerkiness.
僅 When travelling at a lower vehicle
speed, if you release the accelerator
pedal quickly, you may feel engine
braking before the transmission
changes gears. This engine braking
feeling is similar to operating a man-
ual transmission at low speed.

to move the gear shift lever to Manual

a normal sound for the dual clutch
transmission.

the following driving suggestions to help
save money in both fuel and repairs:
僅 Drive smoothly.
僅 Drive at a moderate speed.
僅 Take care of your tyres.
僅 Be sure that the wheels are aligned
correctly.
僅 Maintain your vehicle in accordance
with the maintenance schedule.
僅 Don't carry unnecessary weight in
your vehicle.
僅 Don't let the engine idle longer than
necessary.
僅 Don't "lug" or "over-rev" the engine.
僅 Don't open the windows at high
speeds.
僅 Slow down when driving in cross-
winds and headwinds.
WARNING
Never turn the engine off to coast down
hills or anytime the vehicle is in motion.
The power steering and power brakes
will not function properly without the
engine running. In addition, turning off
the ignition whilst driving could engage

Scheduled maintenance service

If your vehicle is operated in any of the severe driving conditions, you should inspect,
replace or refill more frequently, using the severe usage maintenance schedule

Specifications & Consumer information Recommended lubricants and capacities
Recommended SAE viscosity number

Engine oil viscosity (thickness) has an effect on fuel economy and cold weather operating (engine start and engine oil
flowability). Lower viscosity engine oils can provide better fuel economy and cold weather performance, however,
higher viscosity engine oils are required for satisfactory lubrication in hot weather. Consider the range of temperature
your vehicle will be operated in before the next oil change.

An engine oil displaying this American Petroleum Institute (API) Certification

Mark conforms to the International Lubricant Specification Advisory Com-
mittee (ILSAC). It is recommended to only use engine oils that uphold this
API Certification Mark.
CAUTION
Always be sure to clean the area around
any filler plug, drain plug, or dipstick
before checking or draining any lubri-
cant. This is especially important in
dusty or sandy areas and when the vehi-
cle is used on unpaved roads. Cleaning
the plug and dipstick areas will prevent
dirt and grit from entering the engine 8
