operation is limited even though
there is no change in ECO indicator.
When the coolant temperature islow:The system will be limited until
engine performance becomes nor-mal.
When driving up a hill: The system will be limited to gain
power when driving uphill because
engine torque is restricted.
When driving the vehicle with the dual clutch transmission gear shift
lever in manual shift mode: The system will be limited due to the shift location.
When the accelerator pedal is deeply depressed for a few seconds: The system will be limited, judging
that the driver wants to speed up.SPORT mode

When the clutch is overheated,
the safe protection mode
engages. If the safe protection
mode engages, the gear posi-
tion indicator on the cluster
blinks with a chime sound.
At this time, a warning message
will appear on the LCD display
and driving may not be smooth.
If you ignore this warning, the
driving condition may become
worse.
To return to normal driving con-
ditions, stop the vehicle on a flat
road and apply the foot brake for
a few minutes before driving off.Parking on hills
Generally, if you have a trailer
attached to your vehicle, you should
not park your vehicle on a hill.
However, if you ever have to park your
trailer on a hill, here's how to do it:
1. Pull the vehicle into the parkingspace.
Turn the steering wheel in the direction of the curb (right if head-
ed down hill, left if headed up hill).
2. Shift the vehicle to P (Park, for dual clutch transmission vehicle)
or neutral (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle).
3. Set the parking brake and shut off the vehicle.
4. Place wheel chocks under the trailer wheels on the down hill side
of the wheels.
5. Start the vehicle, hold the brakes, shift to neutral, release the park-
ing brake and slowly release the
brakes until the trailer chocksabsorb the load. 6. Reapply the brakes and parking
brakes.
7. Move the shift lever to P (Park, for dual clutch transmission vehicle)
or 1st gear (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle) when the vehicle is
parked on a uphill grade and in R
(Reverse) on a downhill.
8. Shut off the vehicle and release the vehicle brakes but leave the
parking brake set.
To prevent serious or fatal
injury:
Do not get out of the vehicle without the parking brake
firmly set. If you have left the
engine running, the vehicle
can move suddenly. You and
others could be seriously or
fatally injured.
Do not apply the accelerator
pedal to hold the vehicle onan uphill.

Driving your vehicle
Ready to leave after parking ona hill
1. With the shift lever in P (Park, for dual clutch transmission vehicle)
or neutral (for manual transmis-
sion vehicle), apply your brakes
and hold the brake pedal down
while you:

and

2. Slowly remove your foot from the brake pedal.
3. Drive slowly until the trailer is clear of the chocks.
4. Stop and have someone pick up and store the chocks.
Maintenance when towing a trailer
Your vehicle will need service more
often when you regularly pull a trail-
er. Important items to pay particularattention to include engine oil, dual
clutch transmission fluid, axle lubri-
cant and cooling system fluid. Brake
condition is another important item to
frequently check. If you're trailering,
it's a good idea to review these items
before you start your trip. Don't forget
to also maintain your trailer and
hitch. Follow the maintenance sched-
ule that accompanied your trailer and
check it periodically. Preferably, con-
duct the check at the start of each
day's driving. Most importantly, all
hitch nuts and bolts should be tight. To prevent vehicle damage:
Due to higher load during trailer
usage, overheating might occur
on hot days or during uphill driv-
ing. If the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating, switch offthe air conditioner and stop the
vehicle in a safe area to cool
down the engine.
Do not switch off the engine while the coolant gauge indi-
cates over-heating.
(Keep the engine idle to cool
down the engine)
When towing check dual clutch transmission fluid more fre-
quently.
If your vehicle is not equipped with an air conditioner, youshould install a condenser fan
to improve engine performance
when towing a trailer.

What to do in an emergency
If you have a flat tire while driving
If a tire goes flat while you are driving:
Take your foot off the acceleratorpedal and let the vehicle slow
down while driving straight ahead.
Do not apply the brakes immedi-ately or attempt to pull off the road
as this may cause loss of vehiclecontrol resulting in an accident.
When the vehicle has slowed to
such a speed that it is safe to do
so, brake carefully and pull off the
road. Drive off the road as far as
possible and park on firm, level
ground. If you are on a divided
highway, do not park in the median
area between the two traffic lanes. When the vehicle is stopped, press
the hazard warning flasher button,
move the shift lever into P (Park,
for dual clutch transmission vehicle)
or neutral (for manual transmission
vehicle), apply the parking brake,
and place the ignition switch in theLOCK/OFF position.
Have all passengers get out of the vehicle. Be sure they all get out on
the side of the vehicle that is away
from traffic.
When changing a flat tire, follow the instructions provided later in
this chapter.If the engine doesn't turn over
or turns over slowly
Be sure the shift lever is in N(Neutral) or P (Park) if it is dual
clutch transmission vehicle. The
engine starts only when the shift
lever is in N (Neutral) or P (Park).
Check the battery connections to be sure they are clean and tight.
Turn on the interior light. If the light dims or goes out when you operate
the starter, the battery is drained.
Do not push or pull the vehicle to start
it. This could cause damage to your
vehicle. See instructions for "Jump
Starting" provided in this chapter.
