and then gradually depress the accelerator
pedal for a smooth start. Keep the pressure on
the accelerator pedal as constant as possible,
and drive at low speed.

cle.

If the electrical circuits become wet, further
operation of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driving through water unless
absolutely necessary. If driving through water
is unavoidable, use the following procedure:
Check the depth of the water and the terrain
before attempting to drive through it. Drive
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).
CAUTION
Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning. Skidding occurs and con-
trol of the vehicle could be lost.
Driving on sandy or muddy
roads
CAUTION
Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-
mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under
excessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face. This could lead to accidents.
If any of the following conditions occur
while the vehicle is being driven, immedi-
ately park your vehicle in a safe place and
follow these procedures:
NOTE
• If the engine coolant temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the
multi-information display or the engine
power drops suddenly.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-4.
• If the “
” warning display and “SLOW
DOWN” or the “
” warning display and
“SERVICE REQUIRED” appear on the
information screen in the multi-information
display.
Refer to “Warning display” on page 5-54.
WARNING
When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and
physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for-
ward/backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
NOTE
Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operations could
result in the vehicle becoming stuck.
CAUTION
If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved with a
rocking motion. Move the gearshift lever
alternately between the 1st and “R”
(Reverse) positions (M/T), the “D” (DRIVE)
and “R” (REVERSE) positions (CVT), while
pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.
Driving on rough road can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soon
as possible after such use.
