Precautions While Driving

■
In a Fog
Visibility becomes low when it is foggy. When you drive, turn on the low beam
headlights even during the daytime. Slow down, using the road line in the centre,
guard rails, and the taillights of the vehicle ahead of you as your driving guide.
■
In a Strong Wind
If a strong side wind drifts your vehicle while driving, hold the steering wheel tight.
Slowly decelerate your vehicle and keep your vehicle in the middle of the road. Be
careful with wind gusts especially when your vehicle is exiting a tunnel, driving on a
bridge or river bank, and driving through an open area like a quarry, and when a
large lorry is passing by.

1Precautions While Driving
CAUTION: Do not drive on the road where water is
deep. Driving through deep water will cause damage
to the engine and electrical equipment and the
vehicle will break down.
NOTICE
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission.
NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the engine will shut down and all steering
and brake power assist functions will stop, making it
difficult to control the vehicle.
Do not select while driving as you will lose engine
