Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with an A/T or
CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes or at low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous areas in
order to make better use of engine braking and to assist the brake system. However, be
sure that the speed does not exceed the maxi-
mum speed limit for the selected shift posi- tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some
mechanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat, stop and check for a loose or bro-
ken water pump/alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfactory the over-
heating could be caused by a number of me-
chanical causes that would have to be
checked at a competent service centre.
CAUTIONl If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine overheating” section of “For emer-
gencies” prior to taking any corrective ac-
tion.CAUTIONl On vehicles equipped with
A/T, CVT, if the warning display is showing, the tempera-
ture of the A/T fluid, CVT fluid is high.
