NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indi-
cates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the temperature gauge is in the red zone (“H”). In 
this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place. Check the engine after it has 
cooled completely. ( P.  4 9 2 )
■To activate the light sensitivity function properly
Do not affix a sticker or window tint to  the rear window glass, or put an object 
behind the rear seat.
