Starting and driving
1. With the vehicle in a complete stop, pull the
parking brake lever while fully depressing the
brake pedal, and then place the gearshift lever
in the “P” position.
2. After allowing the engine to idle for three min-
utes, stop it.
3. To help prevent theft and needless consumption
of electricity from the battery, be sure to remove
the starter key and lock the doors.
NOTE:
A buzzer sounds continuously if the driver’s door or
assistant driver’s door is opened while the engine is
running and the gearshift lever is in the “D” position.
The buzzer stops if the gearshift lever is moved to
the “P” or “N” position, the engine is stopped, or the
door is closed. If the gearshift lever is moved to the
“R” position while the engine is running, the buzzer
sounds intermittently. Always stop the engine with
the gearshift lever in the “P” position.
•
Never leave lighters, cans of carbonated
drink, and spectacles in the cabin when
parking the vehicle in hot sunshine. The
cabin will become extremely hot, so light-
ers and other flammable items may catch
fire and unopened drink cans (including
beer cans) may rupture. The heat may also
affect plastic spectacle lenses and other
spectacle parts that are made of plastic.
For example, the coating on the lenses
may crack and the lenses themselves may
become deformed.
•
The body as well as inside equipment and
controls of a vehicle parked in sunshine
for a long time could become hot enough
to burn you. Do not touch hot parts
directly with bare hands; use a cloth or
appropriate material in between.
•
Always use the mirrors to confirm safety
before opening a door. Suddenly opening
a door is dangerous because the door may
obstruct cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and
pedestrians coming from behind.
