Starting and driving
WARNING
•
Never place the starter switch in any posi-
tion other than the "ON" position while
operating the vehicle.
If you turn the starter switch to the "ACC"
position, the engine will stop. This is dan-
gerous.
If the engine stops during driving:
•
The braking force reduces extremely.
•
The power steering system becomes
inoperative, rendering steering dan-
gerously sluggish.
•
The fuel injection system can malfunc-
tion.
•
The electrical circuits of the warning
lamps, meters, etc. become inopera-
tive, causing electric components to
malfunction.
•
Never use a slope to move the vehicle
with the engine stopped. This practice is
very dangerous and could lead to an acci-
dent because when the engine is stopped,
the steering wheel becomes difficult to
operate and the brakes become much
less effective.
•
Removing the starter key causes the
steering wheel to lock, making it impossi-
ble to steer the vehicle.
•
Should the engine stall while the vehicle is in
motion, do not panic. Simply depress the brake
pedal to slow the vehicle, and pull off the road
as soon as it is safe to do so.
•
If a red warning lamp comes on, any warning is
indicated on the multi-information display, the
buzzer sounds, or the vehicle behaves abnor-
mally, stop the vehicle in the nearest safe place
and investigate the cause.
If you cannot identify the cause or cannot rectify
the problem, contact an authorized dealer.
•
Avoid making sharp turns and braking hard
except in emergencies. Doing so during high-
speed driving could cause the vehicle to tip over.
•
Be sure to press the brake pedal with the right
foot. Operating the brake pedal with the unac-
customed left foot may delay your reaction in
emergencies and cause unforeseen accidents.
