SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (V)
Cautions While Driving
1. Do not turn off the engine while the vehicle is in motion.
The power steering function and the brake assist func-
tion will be deactivated.
2. Do not attempt to adjust the driver's seat, rear view
mirrors, or steering wheel while driving. Adjustments
should be done before driving.
3. While driving, do not depress the brake pedal when the
accelerator pedal is depressed. Otherwise, the re-
sponse from the accelerator pedal may be delayed.
This symptom is the safety function to protect the
vehicle's drive system. This symptom can be elimi-
nated if you depress and release the accelerator pedal
once when the brake pedal is not depressed.
4. Do not operate the steering wheel abruptly. This will
cause unstable driving situations and can end with an
unexpected accident.
Abrupt Start, Acceleration and Stop
1. Avoid abrupt starts, acceleration or stops. It may cause
high fuel consumption or an accident.
2. Gently accelerate and decelerate the engine.
Fade
Reduction or loss in braking force due to loss of friction be-
tween the brake pads and disc, caused by heat buildup through
repeated or prolonged brake application.
Engine Brake
When driving down a long slope, use the engine brake
effect by downshifting the transmission in steps accord-
ing to the driving conditions while using the service brake.
An excessive operation of the service brake could result
in a "Fade" or "Vapor Lock" effect.
Stopping and Parking the Vehicle
1. Never leave infants and children unattended in the ve-
hicle with the doors locked. They can move the vehicle
unexpectedly. They can be suffocated in especially hot
weather.
2. When parking the vehicle on a hilly road, apply the park-
ing brake and chock the blocks under the wheels.
Place the gear selector lever to the "P" position (automatic
transmission equipped vehicle).
3. If possible, do not stop and park the vehicle on the steep road.
Extinguisher
Keep it ready for use at any time. Be familiar with how to
use it. For more information, read the label on the sur-
face of the fire extinguisher.
Vapor Lock
When the brake is excessively applied on a downhill, some
bubbles can be formed in the brake cylinder or in brake lines.
Because of these bubbles, hydraulic braking pressure cannot
be transferred to breaking units of the vehicle despite the fully
depressed brake pedal.
