Before driving
WARNING
■When driving the vehicle 
Observe the following precautions while driving.  
Failure to do so may result in loss of control of the vehicle and cause an 
accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the mirrors while driving.
●Do not drive with the mirrors folded.
●Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving.
■When a mirror is moving 
To avoid personal injury and mirror malfunction, be careful not to get your 
hand caught by the moving mirror.
■When the mirror defoggers are oper ating (vehicles with outside rear
view mirror defoggers) 
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and 
burn you.

2-1. Driving procedures
WARNING
●On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not shift the shift lever to R 
while the vehicle is moving forward. 
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
●Do not shift the select lever to D (vehicles with an automatic transmission) 
or shift lever to 1 (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehicle is
moving backward. 
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
●On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not release the clutch pedal 
too quickly. Doing so may propel the vehicle forward, possibly causing an
accident.
●Moving the select lever to N (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or 
shift lever to neutral (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehi-
cle is moving will disengage the engine from the transmission. Engine
braking is not available when N or neutral 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. 
●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
effectiveness. ( →P. 173, 179)
●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.

Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system 
The engine switch is in the “ON” position. 
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system 
The push-button ignition switch is in “ON” mode.
■The outside rear view mirror defoggers (vehicles with outside rear view

■When continuous operation is set (vehicles with an automatic air con- 
ditioning system) 
During continuous operation, the defogger stops operating for 2 minutes 
after every 15 minutes of continual operation. Even during the 2 minutes that 
operation stops, the operating light remains illuminated. The rear window 
defogger will continue to operate in this cycle until it is turned off.

an automatic air conditioning system) 
The rear window defogger can be set to 15-minute operation or continuous 
operation. (Customizable features  →P. 439)
