WARNING
■When the vehicle is stopped 
● Do not race the engine. 
If the vehicle is in any gear other than N, the vehicle may accelerate sud- 
denly and unexpectedly, causing an accident. 
● On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, in order to prevent 
accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keep depressing the 
brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parking brake as 
necessary. 
● If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused 
by the vehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal 
and securely apply the parking brake as needed. 
● Avoid revving or racing the engine.  
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause 
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby. 
■ When the vehicle is parked 
● Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in 
the vehicle when it is in the sun. 
Doing so may result in the following: 
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a 
fire. 
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and
plastic material of glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the 
interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehicle’s 
electrical components. 
● Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter is in a 
place such as the glove box or on the floor, it may be lit accidentally when 
luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire. 
● Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place 
containers such as air fresheners on the instrument panel or dashboard. 
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehi- 
cle. 
● Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a 
metallized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause 
the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.

WARNING
●On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, always apply the 
parking brake, shift the shift lever to E, M or R, stop the engine and lock 
the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running. 
● Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately 
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns. 
● On vehicles with a multi-mode manual transmission, do not turn off the 
engine until 1st or reverse is engaged properly and completely. Confirm
that the gear is engaged by viewing the gear position indicator. 
Parking the vehicle without a gear engaged may cause the vehicle to 
move result in an accident. 
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle 
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift 
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire 
due to engine overheating. Additionally,  if the vehicle is parked in a poorly 
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to
death or a serious health hazard. 
■ When braking 
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously. 
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause 
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle. 
● If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow other vehicles 
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.  
In this case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be
depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. 
Have your brakes fixed immediately. 
● Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls. 
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted 
brakes. 
● The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems; if one of the 
systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal 
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will 
increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.
