On roads with high driving resistance
such as deep-snowy or sandy roads,
or on steep slopes, a high load is
applied to the transmission, causing
excessive heat generation. Under
these driving conditions, pay
attention to the following points.
Stop and hold the vehicle on a
steep slope with the brake pedal,
not the accelerator pedal. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
Avoid using the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same
time.
Start driving the vehicle in the D or
R position according to the
direction of travel (avoid starting in
manual mode).
If you do not follow the above
precautions, the transmission may
overheat. If a message, such as
transmission cooling, is displayed, it
is necessary to temporarily stop the
vehicle to cool the transmission.
