473uu When Driving u Precautions While Driving
Driving
Precautions While Driving Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or
driveline, or cause electrical component failure.
If there is a strong impact with something un der the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.
■ In Rain
■ Other Precautions 1 Precautions While Driving NOTICE
Do not change the transmission while pressing the
accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission. NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the engine will shut down and all steering
and brake power assist functi ons will stop, making it
difficult to control the vehicle.
Do not put the transmission into ( N
, as you will lose
engine braking (and acce leration) pe rformance.
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so
as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brake pads are
replaced.
480 uu When Driving u Shifting
Driving Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 10th gears without removing
your hands from the steering wheel. The tr ansmission will switch to the sequential
mode.
■ When the transmission is in ( D
:
The vehicle will go into the sequential mode moment arily, and the gear selection
indicator will come on.
When the vehicle goes into the sequential mode by ( -
paddle shifter and the lower
gear is available, the trans mission properly selects single or double gear change.
Once you start traveling at a constant sp eed, the sequential mode will automatically
switch off, and the gear sele ction indicator will go off.
Hold the ( +
paddle shifter for two seconds to return to normal drive.
■ When the transmission is in ( D
with SPORT mode:
The vehicle will go into the sequential mode, and the M (sequential mode) indicator
and gear selection indicator will come on.
If the vehicle speed increases and the engi ne speed reaches near the tachometer’s
red zone, the transmission automatica lly shifts up to the next gear.
You can cancel this mode by holding the ( +
paddle shifter for two seconds. When
the sequential mode is canceled, the sequen tial mode indicator and gear selection
indicator go off.■ Sequential Mode
