⬛Operating conditions (electric type)
When the engine switch is “ACC” or “ON”
⬛Using “Automatic mode” in cold weather (vehicles with key-free system)
When using “Automatic mode” in cold weather, the mirrors may not be folded
or extended automatically if the outsid e rear view mirrors get frozen. If this
happens, remove ice or snow covering the outside rear view mirrors, and acti-
vate them by using “Manual mode” or move the mirrors with your hands.
⬛Disabling folding (or extension) in the automatic mode (vehicles with key-
free system)
Set the switch to the extend (or fold) position.
⬛Customization (vehicles with key-free system)
You can customize the operation contents of the automatic mode. (List of cus-
tomizable features: ➞ P. 430)
WARNING
⬛Important points while driving
Be sure to observe the following pr ecautions while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in mishandling of the vehicle and cause an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
⚫Do not adjust the mirrors while driving
⚫Do not drive with the outside rear view mirrors folded
⚫Both the driver and passenger side mirrors must be extended and properly
adjusted before driving
⬛When the mirror is moving (electric type)
Do not touch it with your hands.
Doing so could get your hands caught and cause injury or the mirror to mal-
function.
⬛Adjusting the mirrors (manual type)
Do not adjust them with dirty hands. If the mirror surface gets dirty, it will
cause diffused reflection of the lights fr om behind during nighttime etc., which
is extremely dangerous as it could compromise the visibility.

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)

NOTICE
⬛Driving (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving.
Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may restrain
the engine output.
⚫Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake ped-
als at the same time to hold the vehicle on a hill.
⬛Driving (Manual transmission vehicles)
⚫Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time during
driving. Depressing the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time may
restrain the engine output.
⚫Do not move the shift lever without st epping on the clutch pedal all the way.
Doing so could damage the clutch or transmission.
⚫To prevent the clutch from being da maged, observe the following precau-
tions.
⦁ Do not drive with your foot placed on the clutch pedal
⦁ Avoid starting to move the vehicle when the shift lever is set to other than
the gear 1
⦁ Do not ride the clutch more than ne cessary especially when starting to
move the vehicle on a hill
⚫Do not set the shift lever to R while the vehicle is still moving. Doing so could
damage the clutch, transmission, or the gear.
⬛Parking (continuously variable transmission vehicles)
Always apply the parking brake, and set th e shift lever to P. If the parking brake
is not applied and the shift lever is no t set to P, it may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate sudd enly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed.
⬛Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
⚫Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
an extended period of ti me. Doing so may damage the electric power steer-
ing motor.
⚫When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the disc wheels, etc.

⬛How to stop the engine in an emergency
If you want to stop the engine in case of an emergency while driving, turn the
engine switch to “ACC” and then stop the engine. ( ➞P. 367) Except in the case
of an emergency, do not touch the engine switch while driving.
If you stop the engine while driving, th e steering wheel and the brake will still
work, but not having the power assist wi ll make the steering wheel and brake
operation difficult. As soon as you confirm the safety, pull over and stop the
vehicle on the side of the road.

⬛To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the engine switch “ACC” or “ON” for long periods of time without
the engine running.
⬛When starting the engine
⚫Do not rotate the starter for 30 seconds or longer at a time.
⚫Do not race a cold engine.
⚫If you have trouble starting the engine or experience frequent stalling, have
