CAUTION
Moving the shift lever to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine
●
from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.
During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off while
●
driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the power assist to
these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you
should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop
the vehicle in the normal way: →P. 603
Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving down a
●
steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose effec-
tiveness. (→P. 187)
When stopped on an incline, use the brake pedal and parking brake to prevent
●
the vehicle from rolling backward or forward, causing an accident.
Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or outside
●
rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents, resulting
in death or serious injury.
Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their body are not
●
outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.
On vehicles with an electronically modulated air suspension, if you drive through
●
water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water
and the firmness of the river bed. Put the vehicle in "HI" (high) mode with the
height selector switch and then turn off the electronically modulated air suspen-
sion by pressing the height control off switch. Drive your vehicle at 30 km/h (19
mph) or lower.
