IMPORTANT INFORMATION
CAUTION
• Do not race the engine while the vehicle is stopped. If the selector lever is
placed in any position other than "P" or "N", the vehicle will suddenly move and
it may cause an accident.
• Do not place the selector lever into the "N" position while driving. The engine
brake does not work at all, possibly causing an accident. Doing so may also
cause a failure in the automatic transmission.
• Do not leave the driver's seat with the selector lever placed in "D" (auto mode or
manual mode) or "R" while the engine is running. The vehicle may start moving.
When leaving the driver seat, be sure to place the selector lever into "P" and
securely set the parking brake.
[Essential points for safety]
• Even if you plan to drive only a short distance, adopt the correct driving position
and make sure that the brake and accelerator pedals can be depressed firmly.
• When backing up the vehicle, you twist to look rearward so pedal operation
becomes difficult. Firmly depress the brake pedal while twisting your body. Also,
get in the habit of immediately returning the selector lever to the "N" position
after backing up. When pulling away, visually check the selector lever position
and the shift indicator.
• When repeatedly shifting the selector lever between forward and reverse gears
for a multiple point turn or a K-turn, firmly depress the brake pedal and confirm
that the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting the selector lever.
Shift Indicator → Refer to page 4-62
Automatic Transmission
→ Refer to page 4-147
NOTE
• After the vehicle has been left for a week or more it may not start at once, even
when the accelerator pedal is depressed. In such cases, shift the selector lever
to the "P" position and wait for several seconds with the engine idling.
