Child-protector rear door locks
The child safety lock is provided to
help prevent children seated in therear from accidentally opening the
rear doors. The rear door safety locks
should be used whenever children
are in the vehicle.
The child safety lock is located on
the edge of each rear door. When the
child safety lock is in the lock posi-tion, the rear door will not open if theinner door handle is pulled. To lock the child safety lock, insert a
key (or screwdriver) (1) into the hole
and turn it to the lock position.
To allow a rear door to be opened
from inside the vehicle, unlock the
child safety lock.
OOS047005L
If children accidently open the
rear doors while the vehicle is
in motion, they could fall out of
the vehicle. The rear door safety
locks should always be used
whenever children are in the
vehicle.

Key ignition switch (if equipped)
Whenever the front door is opened,
the ignition switch will illuminate, pro-
vided the ignition switch is not in the
ON position. The light will go off
immediately when the ignition switch
is turned on or go off after about 30seconds when the door is closed.(if equipped)
Never use aftermarket keyhole cov-
ers. This may generate start-up fail-
ure due to communication failure.
NOTICE
NEVER turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK or ACC
position while the vehicle is in
motion except in an emer-
gency.
This will result 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, whichcould cause an accident.
Before leaving the driver's
seat, always make sure the
shift lever is in 1st gear (for
manual transmission vehicle)
or P (Park, for dual clutch
transmission vehicle) posi-
tion, apply the parking brake,
and turn the ignition switch tothe LOCK position.
Unexpected vehicle move-
ment may occur if these pre-
cautions are not followed.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH, take the fol-
lowing precautions:
NEVER allow children or any
person who is unfamiliar with
the vehicle to touch the igni-
tion switch or related parts.
Unexpected and sudden vehi-
cle movement can occur.
NEVER reach through the
steering wheel for the ignition
switch, or any other control,
while the vehicle is in motion.
The presence of your hand or
arm in this area may cause a
loss of vehicle control result-ing in an accident.

Driving your vehicle
As a result, shifts are sometimes
more noticeable, and a light vibra-
tion can be felt as the transmissionshaft speed is matched with the
engine shaft speed. This is a nor-mal condition of the dual clutch
transmission.
The dry-type clutch transfers torque more directly and provides
a direct-drive feeling which may
feel different from a conventional
automatic transmission. This may
be more noticeable when launch-
ing the vehicle from a stop or when
traveling at low, stop-and-go vehi-
cle speeds.
When rapidly accelerating from a lower vehicle speed, the engine
rpm may increase dramatically asa result of clutch slip as the dual
clutch transmission selects the cor-
rect gear. This is a normal condi-tion.
When accelerating from a stop on an incline, press the accelerator
smoothly and gradually to avoid
any shudder feeling or jerkiness. When traveling at a lower vehicle
speed, if you release the accelera-
tor pedal quickly, you may feel
engine braking before the trans-
mission changes gears. This
engine braking feeling is similar to
operating a manual transmission at
low speed.
When driving downhill, you may wish to move the gear shift lever to
Manual Shift mode and downshift
to a lower gear in order to control
your speed without using the brake
pedal excessively.
When you turn the engine on and off, you may hear clicking soundsas the system goes through a self-
test. This is a normal sound for the
dual clutch transmission.
During the first 1,500 km (1000 miles), you may feel that the vehi-
cle may not be smooth when accel-
erating at low speed. During this
break-in period, the shift quality
and performance of your new vehi-
cle is continuously optimized. 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 occurif these precautions are not
followed.
Do not use aggressive engine
braking (shifting from a high-
er gear to a lower gear) on
slippery roads. This could
cause the tires to slip and mayresult in an accident.
