Starting and driving
Precautions when setting
the vehicle in motion
•
Do not carry containers of fuel or spray cans in
the cabin.
WARNING
•
Carrying fuel in the cabin is extremely dan-
gerous because an increase in the cabin
temperature could cause fuel vapor to
catch fire or cause the container to rup-
ture.
•
When starting out, do not operate the
gearshift lever while holding down the
accelerator pedal. Doing so could cause
the vehicle to start out suddenly and cre-
ate the risk of serious accident. When
starting
out,
depressed while operating the gearshift
lever.
•
Do not race the engine while stopped.
Leaving the gearshift lever in any position
other than "P" or "N" could cause sudden
acceleration and create the risk of serious
accident.
CAUTION
•
Unless you keep the brake pedal fully
depressed, the vehicle will creep when you
place the gearshift lever in the "R" or "D"
position ready to start driving. Keep the
brake pedal fully depressed while operating
the gearshift lever. Release the parking brake
after moving the gearshift lever.
Unless you keep the brake pedal fully
depressed when placing the gearshift lever
in the "R" or "D" position, the resulting creep
could cause an accident.
•
Keep the brake pedal fully depressed while
the display on the gear position indicator is
flashing. This is especially important when
starting on an uphill road. As the gear is not
yet engaged and thus the creep effect is not
available while the display is flashing, the
vehicle may move backward if the brake
pedal is released, which could cause an
accident.
