tion.The indicator in the instrument clus-
ter displays the shift lever position
when the ignition switch is in the ON
position.

Always come to a complete stop
before shifting into P (Park).
To shift from P (Park), you must
press firmly on the brake pedal and
make sure your foot is off the accel-
erator pedal.
If you have done all of the above and
still cannot shift the lever out of P
(Park), see “Shift-Lock Release” on
page 5-25.
The shift lever must be in P (Park)
before turning the engine off.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death:
• ALWAYS check the surround-
ing areas near your vehicle for
people, 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, and place the ignition
switch in the LOCK/OFF posi-
tion. Unexpected and sudden
vehicle movement can occur
if these precautions are not
followed.
• Do not use the engine brake
(shifting from a high gear to
lower gear) rapidly on slip-
pery roads. The vehicle may
slip causing an accident.

ESC OFF usage
When Driving
The ESC OFF mode should only be
used briefly to help free the vehicle if
stuck in snow or mud by temporarily
stopping operation of the ESC to
maintain wheel torque.
To turn ESC off whilst driving, press
the ESC OFF button whilst driving on
a flat road surface.
✽NOTICE
Turning the ESC OFF does not
affect ABS or standard brake sys-
tem operation.
CAUTION
Driving with varying tyre or
wheel sizes may cause the ESC
system to malfunction. When
replacing tyres, make sure they
are the same size as your origi-
nal tyres for this vehicle.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the
transaxle:
• Do not allow wheel(s) of one
axle to spin excessively whilst
the ESC, ABS, and brake
warning lights are displayed.
The repairs would not be cov-
ered by the vehicle warranty.
Reduce engine power and do
not spin the wheel(s) exces-
sively whilst these lights are
displayed.
• When operating the vehicle on
a dynamometer, ensure the
ESC is turned off (ESC OFF
light illuminated).

Parking assist system
(if equipped)The Parking Assist System aids the
driver during movement of the vehi-
cle by chiming or displaying the area
if any object is sensed within the dis-
tance of about 100 cm in front or 120
cm behind the vehicle. This is a sup-
plemental system that senses
objects within the range and location
of the sensors. It cannot detect
objects in other areas where sensors
are not installed.

lision.
• Always pay close attention
when the vehicle is driven
close to objects, particularly
pedestrians, and especially
children.

Tyre speed ratings
The chart below lists many of the dif-
ferent speed ratings currently being
used for passenger vehicle tyres.
The speed rating is part of the tyre
size designation on the sidewall of
the tyre. This symbol corresponds to
that tyre's designed maximum safe
operating speed.3. Checking tyre life (TIN : Tyre
Identification Number)
Any tyres that are over 6 years old,
based on the manufacturing date,
(including the spare tyre) should be
replaced by new ones. You can find
the manufacturing date on the tyre
sidewall (possibly on the inside of the
wheel), displaying the DOT Code.
The DOT Code is a series of num-
bers and English letters. The manu-
facturing date is designated by the
last four digits (characters) of the
DOT code.
DOT : XXXX XXXX OOOO
The front part of the DOT means a
plant code number, tyre size and
tread pattern and the last four num-
bers indicate week and year manu-
factured.
For example:
DOT XXXX XXXX 1614 represents
that the tyre was produced in the
16th week of 2014.
S 180 km/h (112 mph)
T 190 km/h (118 mph)
H 210 km/h (130 mph)
V 240 km/h (149 mph)
Z Above 240 km/h (149 mph)
W*270 km/h (168 mph)
Maximum Speed Speed
Rating
Symbol
* W speed rating is sub-category of the Z
speed rating.
WARNING - Tyre age
Tyres degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, it is recommended that
tyres generally be replaced
after six (6) years of normal
service. Heat caused by hot cli-
mates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the
aging process. Failure to follow
this warning could cause sud-
den tyre failure, which could
lead to a loss of control and an
accident involving serious
injury or death.
