tion to the safety of the area around the
vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi-
information display while driving as

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.
