and wheels F11-34.
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with exces-
sively low tire pressures can cause
the tires to deform severely and to
rapidly become hot. A sharp in-
crease in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruction of
the tires. The resulting loss of
vehicle control could lead to an
accident.

General information

& Gear shift indicator (Europe
and Australia models)
CAUTION
The indication of the gear shift
indicator is only a guideline for
driving more fuel-efficiently. The
indicator does not inform the driver
about safe shift operation timing.
The driver has the responsibility for
suitable shift operation depending
on the traffic conditions or driving
conditions (e.g., overtaking or driv-
ing on an uphill slope).
This indicator supports the driver to drive
more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle system
determines the shift operation timing
depending on the driving conditions, and
informs the driver by the indicator on the
combination meter. For details, refer to
Gear shift indicator F3-33.
NOTE
Usually, the gear shift indicator is a
guideline for driving more fuel-effi-
ciently, and it also operates to prevent
a possible engine stall at a low engine
speed.
