lever into "N", make sure the shift
indicator indicates "N", pull up the
parking brake lever and firmly press
the brake pedal.
When stationary and moving the
selector lever to any position other

(models without P-range), be sure to
press the brake pedal.
Never leave the driver's seat with the
selector lever placed in "OD", "3", "2",
"1" or "R". The vehicle may start
moving. When leaving the driver's
seat, be sure to move the selector
lever into "P" (models with P-range) or
"N" (models without P-range) and
securely set the parking brake.

into "OD", "3", "2", "1" or "R", creep will
cause the vehicle to move.
When pulling away from a standstill,
you must control the speed using only
the accelerator pedal. Operate the
accelerator pedal carefully.

Driving and Operating
Warning (Continued)
Do not operate the selector lever
while depressing the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle may make a sudden start,
possibly causing an accident.
When pulling away, visually check the
position of the selector lever. If you always
press the push button while operating the
selector lever, the lever may occasionally
move to the "P" (only models with P-range),
"R", "3", "2", or "1" position against your
intentions.
Practice operating the selector lever between
the N and D without pressing the push
button.
Do not operate the selector lever while
pressing the accelerator pedal. Doing so is
