The seat belt pre-tens
ioner system includes
the following components: The airbag control unit monitors the readiness of the electronic parts of the system whenever
the ignition switch or the operation mode is under the following conditions. These includeall of the items listed
above and all related
wiring. [Except for vehicles
equipped with the
F.A.S.T.-key] The ignition switch is in the “ON” or “START” position.[Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in ON. The seat belt pre-te
nsioners will operate
under the same conditions as the airbag con- trol unit. When the seat belt pr
e-tensioners activate,
some smoke is released and a loud noise willbe heard. The smoke is
not harmful, but care
should be taken not to
intentionally inhale it,
as it may cause some temporary irritation topeople with respiratory problems. The pre-tensioners activate in the event of a moderate-to-severe front or side impact, evenif the seat belt is not
being worn. The seat belt
pre-tensioners may not activate in certain col- lisions, even though the vehicle may appearto be severely damage
d. Such non-activation
does not mean that something is wrong with the seat belt pre-tens
ioner system, but rather
that the collision fo
rces were not severe
enough to activate the system.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in ON, the selector lever position is shown onthe multi-information display.
N00560601093
This position locks the transmission to pre-vent the vehicle from m
oving. The engine can
be started from the “P” (PARK) position.
Move the lever to this position only after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. At this position, the transmission is disen- gaged. It is the same
as the neutral position on
a manual transaxle and should be used whenthe vehicle is not m
oving for an extended
length of time during driving, such as in a traffic jam.
This position is used fo
r most city and high-
way driving. The transmission will automati-cally and continuously ch
ange its gear ratio
depending on road and driving conditions. Use when engine braking is needed, or for high-power sport drive.

Selector lever positions

“P” PARK

“R” REVERSE

CAUTION Never shift into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion. If the lever is shifted into the “P”(PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion, the transmission may be damaged.
“N” NEUTRAL

WA R N I N G Never move the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position while driving since you could accidentally slip it into the “P” (PARK) or “R” (REVERSE) position,damaging the transmission.
 To prevent the vehicle from rolling when stopped on a slope,
the engine should be
started in the “P” (PARK) position, not in“N” (NEUTRAL) position. To prevent rolling, always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the vehicle is in “N” (NEUTRAL) positi
on, or when shift-
ing into or out of “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-tion.
“D” DRIVE

CAUTION To prevent transmission damage, never shift into the “D” (DRIVE) position from the “R”(REVERSE) position while the vehicle is in motion.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow, sand, or mud, it can often be moved by a rockingmotion. Rock your vehicle back and forth to free it.
Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION This vehicle must not be towed by a tow truck using sling lift
type equipment (Type
A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam- age the bumper and front end.Towing with rear wheels off the ground. Do not tow CVT vehicles with this style. Towing with front wheels off the ground.
 Do not tow continuously variable transmis- sion (CVT) vehicles with the driving wheelson the ground (Type B) as illustrated. If thevehicle is towed like
this, the continuously
variable transmission (CVT) fluid may not reach all parts of the transmission, thus dam-aging it. If you tow CVT vehicles, use Type C, D or E equipment. If the manual transaxl
e is malfunctioning or
damaged, transport the
vehicle with the driv-
ing wheels on a carriage (Type C, D or E) as illustrated. If the vehicle is towed with the ignition switch in the “ON” pos
ition or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels oronly the rear wheels raised off the ground (Type B or C), the Active Stability Control (ASC) may operate, result
ing in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, turn the ignition switch to the “ACC” position or put
the operation mode in
ACC. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch or the operation mode as follows.[Except for vehicles equipped with the F. A . S . T. - k e y ] The ignition switch is
in “OFF” or “ACC”
position. [Vehicles equipped with the F.A.S.T.-key] The operation mode is in OFF or ACC.CAUTION
