l Be sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower shift position before descending a
slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
a CVT or Twin Clutch SST
It is recommended the “D” position (CVT or Twin
Clutch SST) on slopes or at low speed. Use the
sports mode (CVT) or manual shifting (Twin
Clutch SST) in mountainous areas in order to make
better use of engine braking and to assist the brake
system. However, be sure that the speed does not
exceed the maximum speed limit for the selected
shift position.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some me-
chanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat,
stop and check for a loose or broken water pump/
alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake
or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfacto-
ry the overheating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to be checked
at a competent service centre.
CAUTION
l If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For
emergencies” prior to taking any correc-
tive action.
l On vehicles equipped with a CVT or
Twin Clutch SST, if the warning dis-
play is showing, the temperature of the
CVT fluid or Twin Clutch SST fluid is
high.
Read the reference page and take the re-
quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in
the CVT” on page 4-30 or “Warning dis-
play” on page 4-39.
