WARNING
 When leaving the vehicle, stop the
engine and park the vehicle with a
gear engaged. If you need to leave
the vehicle with the engine running,
apply the parking brakes firmly, and
shift the gearshift lever to the "N"
position. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move unexpectedly and may cause
an accident.
NOTICE
 On a slope, never hold the vehicle
at a stop using only the accelerator
pedal or the creeping function. If
you perform this operation for a
certain period of time, a warning
buzzer will sound, and in some
cases the engine will stall. This can
also cause excessive damage to the
clutch.
 If the gearshift lever is operated
more than necessary, the system
may not allow operation of the
gearshift lever for a certain period
of time, and the gear may not be
shifted appropriately. Therefore, do
not operate the gearshift lever if not
necessary.

Parking
Unlike an automatic transaxle, automated
manual transaxle does not have a parking
position. The vehicle can be parked with the
gearshift lever in any position.
1) Apply the parking brake firmly.
2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift
the gearshift lever to the "R" position on
a downhill slope, and to the 1st position
in the drive (D) mode or the "M(1)"
position in the manual (M) mode on an
uphill slope and confirm the gear position
by checking the gear position indicator.
3) Stop the engine.
NOTE:
 After the engine is stopped, the gear in
the transaxle does not change even if
you shift the gearshift lever in any
position. Always shift the gearshift lever
before stop the engine.
 Check the transaxle gear position by
looking at the gear position indicator,
then turn the ignition switch off to stop
the engine. Release the brake pedal
after a few seconds. The gearshift lever
will be locked in the position it was in
when the ignition switch was turned off.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
If the gear is not engaged properly
and completely before the ignition
switch is turned off, the vehicle may
not be parked with the gear
engaged. Always confirm the gear
position by checking the gear
position indicator when parking.
On a downhill slope, the gear should
be put in reverse, and in 1st gear
on an uphill slope. Otherwise, the
vehicle may move, and cause an
unexpected accident. If the gear is
left in the "N" position, the vehicle
cannot be parked with a gear
engaged.
Parking cancel
Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition
switch to the "ON" position, and shift the
gearshift lever to the "N" position. The gear
will be disengaged.
Warning functions
A warning buzzer will sound or the indicator
will blink under the following conditions.
Warning buzzer
 The clutch is heated due to excessive
load.
 The creeping function is being activated
for a long period of time.
