Other Precautions
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

Continuously Variable Transmission

■
Creeping
The engine runs at a higher idle speed and creeping increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
■
Kickdown
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the
transmission to drop to a lower ratio, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed.
Depress the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.

1Precautions While Driving
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the engine will shut down and all steering
and brake power assist functions will stop, making it
difficult to control the vehicle.
Do not put the transmission into
engine braking (and acceleration) performance.
During the first 1,000 km of operation, avoid sudden
acceleration or full throttle operation so as not to
damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km.
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.
1In Rain
Be careful when hydroplaning phenomenon occurs.
When you drive on a road covered with water at
excessive speed, a layer of water builds between the
tyres and the road surface. If this occurs, the vehicle
cannot respond to control inputs such as steering,
and braking.
Slowly decelerate when you shift down. If the road is
slippery, sudden engine braking can cause the tyres
to skid.
