WARNING
QThe information display at low temperatures (vehicles with multi-infor-
mation display)
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal
information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display monitor may
respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For vehicles with automatic transmission: 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 braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or
injury.
NOTICE
Q To prevent damage to the engine and its components
O Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
O The engine may be overheating if the engine coolant temperature gauge is
in the red zone (H). In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 610)

the vehicle along with the child. T here may be accidental operation, due to
mischief, etc., that may possibly lead to an accident.
Q Jam protection function (windows with one-touch function for type B
and C)
O Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection
function.
O The jam protection function may not work if something gets jammed just
before the window is fully closed. Be careful not to get any part of your
body jammed in the window.
Q Catch protection function (windows with one-touch function for type B
and C)
O Never use any part of your body or clothing to intentionally activate the
catch protection function.

Q Driving in the rain
O Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
O Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
O Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
Q Engine speed while driving (automatic transmission)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting c ontrol or down-shifting implementation to
meet driving conditions. It does not indicate sudden acceleration.
