CAUTIONS
When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while the vehicle stops with the engine operating. This prevents
the vehicle from creeping.
Precautions during driving
●
Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the locations of the brake and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake pedal will result in sudden acceleration
that may lead to an accident that could result in serious injury or death.
Drive with caution when reversing although the vehicle is equipped with reversing camera system and
parking radar system.
When reversing, you may twist your body around, leading to a difficulty in operating the pedals. Make sure
to operate the pedals properly.
Even if you move the vehicle slightly, you must maintain the correct driving posture in order to accurately
depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal.
• Please depress the brake pedal with your right foot. In case of emergency, the response may be delayed if
your left foot is used to step on the brake pedal, potentially resulting in an accident.
●
Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust system and exhaust gases can be extremely hot, and may cause a fire if there is any flammable
material nearby.
●
Do not move the vehicle backward when the gear position is in the forward position or the P position or
forward when the gear position is in the R or P position, otherwise accidents or damage to the vehicle may be
caused.
●
If exhaust gas is smelt inside the vehicle, open the windows.
Large amounts of exhaust gas in the vehicle can result in a serious health hazard, and even cause an accident.
●
Do not change the shift lever to P, R or N while the vehicle is running, otherwise it will seriously damage
the transmission and may cause the vehicle out of control.
Do not change the shift lever to N while the vehicle is running, otherwise the engine braking function may
not work properly, resulting in accident.
●
Do not turn the engine off while driving.
If the engine is not running, the power steering and brake booster system will not work properly.
●
Please use the engine brake (downshift) function to maintain a safe vehicle speed when going down a steep
slope.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effectiveness.
●
When the vehicle is parked on an inclined road surface, please confirm that the slope is suitable for the
EPB function, otherwise please depress the brake pedal and apply the electronic parking brake to prevent the
vehicle from moving forward or backward and causing an accident.
●
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the interior or exterior rear-view mirrors while
driving. Doing so may result in an accident.
●
Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their bodies are not outside the vehicle, as
this may result in serious injury or death.
