uuWhen DrivinguContinuously Variable Transmission
■
In Rain
The road is slippery when raining. Avoid hard braking, rapid acceleration, and
abrupt steering and be more cautions when driving. It is likely to experience
hydroplaning phenomenon if you are driving on a rutted road with puddles. Do not
driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or
driveline, or cause electrical component failure.
■
Other Precautions
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

Continuously Variable Transmission

■
Creeping
The engine runs at a higher idle speed and creeping increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
■
Kickdown
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the
transmission to drop to a lower gear, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed. Depress
the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.

1In Rain
Be careful when hydroplaning phenomenon occurs.
When you drive on a road covered with water at
excessive speed, a layer of water builds between the
tyres and the road surface. If this occurs, the vehicle
cannot respond to control inputs such as steering,
and braking.
Slowly decelerate when you shift down. If the road is
slippery, sudden engine braking can cause the tyres
to skid.
