WARNING
■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 in formation 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.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and 
its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the 
tachometer enter the red zone, which 
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the 
engine coolant temperature gauge is 
in the red zone (H).  In this case, imme-
diately stop the vehicle in a safe place, 
and check the engine after it has 
cooled completely. ( P.377)

ing correction procedures to wash the 
vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft.  (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. 
(Take care to ensure that the key is not 
stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving  mode to disable the  smart access system 
with push-button start. ( P.101)
