Transmission cooled

When the message "Trans cooled.
Resume driving" appears you can
continue to drive your vehicle.
Transmission ranges
The indicator in the instrument
cluster displays the shift lever posi -
tion when the ignition switch or
ENGINE START/STOP is in the ON
position.
P (Park)
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park). This

vehicle is in motion will cause the
drive wheels to lock which will
cause you to lose control of the
vehicle.

Do not use the P (Park) position in
place of the parking brake. Always
make sure the shift lever is
latched in the P (Park) position
and set the parking brake fully.
Never leave a child unattended in
a vehicle.
CAUTION
The transmission may be damaged
if you shift into P (Park) whilst the
vehicle is in motion.
CAUTION
The RPM (revolution per minute)
may increase or decrease when per -
forming the Intelligent Variable
Transmission (IVT) self-diagnosis.
R (Reverse)
Use this position to drive the vehicle
backward.
CAUTION
Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into or out of R
(Reverse); you may damage the
transmission if you shift into R
whilst the vehicle is in motion,
except as explained in "Rocking the
