■After the engine starts
In order  to secure a  rich exhaust sound  when starting the  vehicle and  envi-
ronmental  performance,  air  intake  and  exhaust  sounds  become  lou d  and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
■ Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm  the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 461)
■ REV indicator
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle (vehicl es with an automatic transmission)
● Always  keep  your  foot  on  the  brake  pedal  while  stopped  with  the   engine
running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
● Firmly  depress  the  brake  pedal  because  engine  speed  may  increas e
immediately  after  starting  the  engine,  when  the  air  conditioning  system  is
operating, when turning the steering wheel, etc., thereby causi ng creeping
to become stronger. Apply the parking brake as necessary.
When  the  set  engine  speed  is  reached
the REV indicator comes on and a buzzer
sounds to inform the driver. 
( P. 204, 217)
(When  the  engine  speed  enters  the  red
zone,  the  REV  indicator  flashes  regard-
less of settings.)
