⬛Starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will be activated. (➞P. 232)
⬛Driving in the rain
⚫Drive carefully when it is raining, bec ause visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
⚫Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
⚫Refrain from driving at high speeds on an expressway in the rain, because
there may be a layer of water between the tires an d the road surface, pre-
venting the steering and brakes from operating properly.
⬛Engine speed while driving (continuous ly variable transmission vehicles)
In the following conditions, the engine speed may become high while driving.
This is due to automatic up-shifting re striction or down-shifting implementa-
tion to meet driving conditions. It do es not indicate sudden acceleration.
⚫The vehicle is judged to be driving uphill or downhill
⚫When the accelerator pedal is released
⬛Engine power suppression control (Brake Override System)
When the accelerator pedal and the brake pedal are depressed simultane-
ously, the engine output may be suppressed.
▶Vehicles without TFT color multi-information display
⚫When the Brake Override System is op erating, the warning light turns on.
( ➞ P. 381)
▶Vehicles with TFT color multi-information display
⚫When the Brake Override System is op erating, the warning message is dis-
played. ( ➞P. 390)
⬛Idling before stopping the engine (turbo vehicles)
Immediately after driving at high-speed or climbing on a hill, idle the engine
for approx. 1 minute and then stop the engine in order to prevent the turbo
system from being damaged.
⬛Overheating
The following severe driving situations can cause overheating.

1704-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause death or serious
injury.
⬛When starting to move the vehicle (continuously variable transmission
vehicles)
Always depress the brake pedal while st opped with the engine running. This
prevents the vehicle from creeping.
⬛When driving the vehicle
⚫Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and accelera-
tor pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
⦁ Accidentally depressing the accelera tor pedal instead of the brake pedal
will result in sudden acceleratio n that may lead to an accident.
⦁ When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to difficulty in
operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
⦁ Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle
only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelerator pedals
properly.
⦁ Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal
using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, resulting in an
accident.
⚫Do not drive the vehicle over or stop the vehicle near flammable materials.
The exhaust pipes and exhaust gases can be extremely hot, and may cause a
fire if there is any flammable material nearby.
⚫During normal driving, do not turn of f the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking 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 st op 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 6 7
⚫Use engine braking to maintain a safe speed when driving down a steep hill.
Using a foot brake continuously may cause the brake to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( ➞P. 189)
⚫Depending on the road surface and speed, shift down as follows and also
use engine braking.
⦁Set the shift lever to S (continuousl y variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Set Manual Mode ( ➞P. 190) and downshift by 1 gear at a time (continu-
ously variable transmission vehicles)
⦁ Lower the gear by 1 level (Manual transmission vehicles)

⚫Avoid sudden engine braking (shift lever operation). The tires may lock and
slip, causing an accident.
⚫Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle.
⚫Always check that all occupants’ arms , heads or other parts of their bodies
are not outside the vehicle.
⚫Do not drive off-road.
If you must drive off-road, drive carefully.
⚫Do not drive underwater such as crossing a river.
It may cause a serious vehicle failure such as short-circuiting of electrical
components or damage to the engine.
⚫Do not drive with luggage on or near the seats.
If the vehicle brakes or turns sudden ly, the luggage may be thrown out and
hit occupants, the luggage may be dama ged, or the driver may be distracted
by the luggage, which may lead to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Drive carefully where there are large steps or where there are wheel chocks.
The bumper may be damaged.
⚫Do not release the clutch pedal all the way at once. Doing so could move the
vehicle forward and may lead to an unforeseen accident. (➞ P. 194)
⬛When driving on slippery road surfaces
⚫Sudden braking, acceleration or 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 prop erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning properly. If th e brakes on only one side are wet and
not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
⬛When operating the shift lever
⚫For the continuously variable transmissi on vehicles, never let the vehicle roll
backward while the shift lever is in a driv ing position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to sta ll or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an acci dent or damage to the vehicle.

1744-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛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 different ly 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 sys-
tems 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.
⬛If you get a flat tire while driving
A flat or damaged tire may cause the following situations. Hold the steering
wheel firmly and gradually depress the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle. It
is dangerous to apply the brakes suddenly, as it may be difficult to control your
vehicle, which may lead to an accident.
⚫It is difficult to control your vehicle
⚫The vehicle is making abnormal sounds or vibrations
⚫The vehicle leans abnormally
For information on what to do in case of a flat tire, see P. 396.
