■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information
display while driving, pay extra atten-
tion to the safety of the area around the
vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-
information display while driving as
you may fail to see pedestrians, objects
on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■The information display at low tem-
peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm
up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the information display
monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the
driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could
cause the driver to downshift again,
causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in
death or injury.
