ÿScreen display at low temperatures
When the temperature of the screen is extremely low, switching of the screen display may be
delayed, so warm up the vehicle interior before use.

immediately after the shift operation, and the driver misunderstands that he did not downshift,
and downshifts again, resulting in sudden excessive engine braking. may result in serious injury
or, in the worst case, death.
