Moving off on a steep uphill
When the gradient is too large and it is not suitable to use EPB hill start assist function, please operate the
vehicle as follows:
Depress the brake pedal firmly and change the shift lever to D.
Make sure the gear indicator displays D.
Release the electronic parking brake.
Release the brake pedal and lightly depress the accelerator pedal.
When starting on uphill
The hill-start assist control (HHC) will be activated automatically to prevent the vehicle from slipping. (See
P.206)
ESS emergency brake reminder function
When the speed reaches the designed speed, if emergency braking is applied, the brake lamp flashes quickly
to remind the rear vehicle until the brake pedal is released.
Driving in the rain
●
When it rains, please drive carefully because of poor visibility, foggy windows and slippery roads.
●
Refrain from high speeds when driving on an express way in the rain, because there may be a layer of water
between the tires and the road surface, hampering the steering and brakes from operating properly.
Running in your new vehicle
In order to prolong the service life of the vehicle, it is recommended that you observe the following
precautions:
●
Within the initial 1,000 km:
Avoid sudden stops.
Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
