Good driving practices

• Never move the shift lever from
P(Park)/N(Neutral) to any other
position, while depressing the
accelerator.
• Never move the gearshift to P
(Park), when the vehicle is in
motion.
• Make sure to completely stop the
vehicle before moving the shift
lever to R(Reverse)/D(Drive).

• Never disengage the gear, while
driving down on a slope. This may
be extremely hazardous. Always
engage the gear while driving.
• Do not "ride" the brakes. This may
cause overheating and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you drive down
a long slope, slow the vehicle
down, set in Sports Mode, and shift
to a lower gear. Those will help the
engine brake slow the vehicle
down.
• Slow down before shifting to a
lower
authorized
Otherwise, the lower gear may not
be engaged.
• Always set the parking brake. Do
not depend on the shift gear in P
(Park) to prevent the vehicle from
moving.
• Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
careful especially when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed may cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
the vehicle to go out of control.
• Optimum vehicle performance and
fuel economy are obtained by
smoothly depressing and releasing
the accelerator.
