Additional safety precautions  Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat. All occupants should
sit upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor.
 Passengers should not move out of
or change seats whilst the vehicle is
moving. A passenger who is not wear-
ing a seat belt during a crash or emer-
gency stop can be thrown against the
inside of the vehicle, against other
occupants, or out of the vehicle.
 Each seat belt is designed torestrain one occupant. If more than
one person uses the same seat belt,
they could be seriously injured or killedin a collision.
 Do not use any accessories on seatbelts. Devices claiming to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the seat
belt can reduce the protection provided
by the seat belt and increase the
chance of serious injury in a crash.
 Passengers should not place hardor sharp objects between them-
selves and the air bags. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap or in
your mouth can result in injuries if an
air bag inflates. 
Keep occupants away from the air
bag covers. All occupants should sit
upright, fully back in their seats with
their seat belts on and their feet on the
floor. If occupants are too close to the
air bag covers, they could be injured if
the air bags inflate.
 Do not attach or place objects on or
near the air bag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the front or
side impact air bag covers could inter-
fere with the proper operation of the air
bags.
 Do not modify the front seats.Modification of the front seats could
interfere with the operation of the sup-
plemental restraint system sensing
components or side air bags.
 Do not place items under the frontseats. Placing items under the front
seats could interfere with the operation
of the supplemental restraint system
sensing components and wiring har-
nesses.
 Never hold an infant or child on yourlap. The infant or child could be seri-
ously injured or killed in the event of a
crash. All infants and children should
be properly restrained in appropriate
child safety seats or seat belts in therear seat.
WARNING
 Sitting improperly or out of posi- tion can cause occupants to be
shifted too close to a deploying
air bag, strike the interior struc-
ture or be thrown from the vehicle
resulting in serious injury ordeath.
 Always sit upright with the seat- back in an upright position, cen-tred on the seat cushion with
your seat belt on, legs comfort-
ably extended and your feet on
the floor.

NOTICE
 The double clutch transmission gives the driving feel of a Manual
Transaxle, yet provides the ease of a
fully Automatic Transaxle. Unlike a
traditional Automatic Transaxle, the
gear shifting can be felt (and heard)
on the double clutch transmission
- Think of it as an automatically shift-ing Manual Transaxle.
- Shift into Drive range and you get great shifting feedback and sound,
but no shifting hassle.
 Dry-type clutch transfers driving
torque and also delivers direct driving
feel which can be felt different from
smooth Automatic Transaxle with slip
of torque converter. This might be
easily felt especially at launch & low
vehicle speed.
 Double clutch transmission adopts dry-type double clutch, which is dif-
ferent from torque converter of
Automatic Transaxle, and shows bet-
ter acceleration performance during
driving. But, initial launch might be
little bit slower than Automatic
Transaxle.
(Continued)(Continued)
 When rapidly accelerating at low
vehicle speed, engine could rev at high
rpm depending on vehicle drive con-
dition.
 For smooth launch at uphill, press
down the accelerator pedal properly
depending on the vehicle drive condi-
tion.
 If you release your foot from the accel-
erator pedal at low vehicle speed, you
may feel strong engine brake, which is
similar to manual transaxle.
 In case if you want to speed down at
downhill, you may use sport mode or
paddle shift to downshift, and also use
foot brake properly depending on
driving condition to get enough decel-
eration.
 When you turn the ignition on and off, you may hear clicking sounds as the
transmission solenoids turn on and
off, cycling through a self test. This is
a normal sound for the Double Clutch
Transmission.For smooth operation, depress the brake
pedal when shifting from N (Neutral) to aforward or reverse gear.
WARNING - Automatic
transaxle
 Always check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for peo-
ple, especially children, before
shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or
R (Reverse).
 Before leaving the driver’s seat, always make sure the shift lever
is in the P (Park) position; then
set the parking brake fully and
shut the engine off. Unexpected
and sudden vehicle movementcan occur if these precautions
are not followed in the order iden-tified.
