NEVER turn the ignition switch
to the LOCK or ACC position
while the vehicle is in motion
except in an emergency. This willresult in the engine turning off
and loss of power assist for the
steering and brake systems. This
may lead to loss of directional
control and braking function,
which could cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the shift lever
is in 1st gear (for manual
transaxle vehicle) or P (Park, for
automatic transaxle vehicle)
position, apply the parking brake,
and turn ignition switch to the
LOCK position. Unexpected vehi-
cle movement may occur if these
precautions are not followed.
NEVER reach through the steer- ing wheel for the ignition switch,
or any other control, while the

Parking
Always come to a complete stop and
continue to depress the brake pedal.
Move the shift lever into the P (Park)
position, apply the parking brake, and
place the ignition switch in the
LOCK/OFF position. Take the Key with
you when exiting the vehicle. Good driving practices
Never move the shift lever from P
(Park) or N (Neutral) to any other posi-
tion with the accelerator pedaldepressed.
Never move the shift lever into P (Park) when the vehicle is in motion.
Be sure the vehicle is completely stopped before you attempt to shift into
R (Reverse) or D (Drive).
Do not move the shift lever to N (Neutral) when driving. Doing so mayresult in an accident because of a loss
of engine braking and the transaxlecould be damaged.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the brake pedal. Even light, but consis-tent pedal pressure can result in the
brakes overheating, brake wear and
possibly even brake failure.
When driving in sports mode, slow down before shifting to a lower gear.
Otherwise, the lower gear may not be
engaged if the engine rpms are out-
side of the allowable range.
Always apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle. Do not depend on
placing the transmission in P (Park) to
keep the vehicle from moving. Exercise extreme caution when driving
on a slippery surface. Be especially
careful when braking, accelerating or
shifting gears. On a slippery surface,
an abrupt change in vehicle speed can
cause the drive wheels to lose traction
and may cause loss of vehicle controlresulting in an accident
Optimum vehicle performance and economy is obtained by smoothly
depressing and releasing the accelera-
tor.
WARNING
When you stay in the vehicle with
the engine running, be careful not
to depress the accelerator pedal for
a long period of time. The engine or
exhaust system may overheat and
start a fire.
The exhaust gas and the exhaust
system are very hot. Keep away
from the exhaust system compo-nents.
Do not stop or park over flammable
materials, such as dry grass, paper
or leaves. They may ignite and
cause a fire.

In an emergency, if you do not have a
spare, use a fuse of the same rating from
a circuit you may not need for operating
the vehicle, such as the cigarette lighter
fuse.
If the headlights or other electrical com-
ponents do not work and the fuses are
OK, check the fuse block in the engine
compartment. If a fuse is blown, it mustbe replaced.
Fuse switch (for Type A)
Always, put the fuse switch at the ON position.
If you move the switch to the OFF posi-
tion, some items must be reset and
remote key or smart key may not work
properly.
CAUTION
Always place the fuse switch in
the ON position while driving the
vehicle. If the switch is in the OFF position, a warning will appear onthe instrument cluster. (Refer to“Instrument Cluster” in chapter 4.)
The theft alarm system will not activate with the fuse switch in theOFF position.
