mirrors 

1244-1. Before driving
WARNING
●During normal driving, do not 
turn off the engine. Turning the 
engine off while driving will not 
cause loss of steering or brak-
ing control, but the power assist 
to these systems will be lost. 
This will make it more difficult to 
steer and brake, so you should 
pull over and stop the vehicle as 
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an 
emergency, such as if it 
becomes impossible to stop the 
vehicle in the normal way: 
P. 3 1 2
●Use engine braking (downshift) 
to maintain a safe speed when 
driving down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously 
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness. 
(
P.137)
●Do not adjust the positions of 
the steering wheel, the seat, or 
the inside or outside rear view 
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of 
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts 
of their body are not outside the 
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the 
speed limit. Even if the legal 
speed limit permits it, do not 
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) 
unless your vehicle has 
high-speed capabilit y tires. Driv-
ing over 85 mp h (140 km/h) 
may result in tire failure, loss of 
control and possible injury. Be 
sure to consult a tire dealer to 
determine whether the tires on 
your vehicle are high-speed 
capability tires or not before 
driving at such speeds.
■When driving on slippery 
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration 
and steering may cause tire 
slippage and reduce your ability 
to control the vehicle.
●Sudden acceleration, engine 
braking due to shifting, or 
changes in engine speed could 
cause the vehicle to skid.
●After driving through a puddle, 
lightly depress the brake pedal 
to make sure that the brakes 
are functioning properly. Wet 
brake pads may prevent the 
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one 
side are wet and not functioning 
properly, steering control may 
be affected.
■When shifting the shift lever
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a fo rward driving 
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine 
to stall or lead to poor brake and 
steering performance, resulting 
in an accident or damage to the 
vehicle.
●Do not shift the sh ift lever to P 
while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss 
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the sh ift lever to R 
while the vehicle is moving for-
ward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss 
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift lever to a 
driving position while the vehicle 
is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss 
of vehicle control.

BSM (Blind Spot Moni-
tor)*
The Blind Spot Monitor is a 
system that uses rear side 
radar sensors installed on 
the inner side of the rear 
bumper on the left and right 
side to assist the driver in 
confirming safety when 
changing lanes.
WARNING
■Cautions regarding the use of 
the system
●The driver is solely responsible 
for safe driving. Always drive 
safely, taking care to observe 
your surroundings.
●The Blind Spot Monitor is a sup-
plementary function which alerts 
the driver that a vehicle is in a 
blind spot of the outside rear 
view mirrors or is approaching 
rapidly from behind into a blind 
spot. Do not overly rely on the 
Blind Spot Monitor. As the func-
tion cannot judge if it is safe to 
change lanes, over reliance 
could lead to an accident result-
ing in death or serious injury. As 
the system may not function 
correctly under certain condi-
tions, the driver’s own visual 
confirmation of safety is neces-
sary.
