Driving your vehicle
Good driving practices
•
Never move the shift lever from
P(Park)/N(Neutral) to any other
position, while depressing the
accelerator.
•
•
•
Never move the gearshift to P
(Park), when the vehicle is in
motion.
Make sure to completely stop the
vehicle before moving the shift
lever to R(Reverse)/D(Drive).
Never disengage the gear, while
driving down on a slope. This may
be extremely hazardous. Always
engage the gear while driving.
Do not "ride" the brakes. This may
cause overheating and malfunc-
tion. Instead, when you drive down
a long slope, slow the vehicle
down, set in Sports Mode, and shift
to a lower gear. Those will help the
engine brake slow the vehicle
down.

Exercise extreme caution when
driving on a slippery surface. Be
careful especially when braking,
accelerating or shifting gears. On a
slippery surface, an abrupt change
in vehicle speed may cause the
drive wheels to lose traction and
the vehicle to go out of control.
