WARNING
Driving
4
⚫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.

WARNING
⬛Things that must not be carr ied in the luggage compartment
The following things may cause a fire if loaded in the luggage compartment:
⚫Receptacles containing gasoline
⚫Aerosol cans
⬛When loading luggage
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so is dangerous. It may prevent the clutch pedal (manual trans-
mission vehicles) and the brake pedal and accelerator pedal from being oper-
ated properly, and the load could block the driver’s vision, hit the driver or
passengers, possibly leading to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Try storing cargo or luggage in the luggage compartment as much as possi-
ble.
⚫Do not place cargo or luggage in or on the following locations:
⦁ In the legroom of the driver’s seat
⦁ On the front passenger or rear seats (when stacking items)
⦁ On the instrument panel
⦁ On the dashboard
⦁ Small containers/trays without lids
⚫Secure all items in the compartment.
⚫Do not stack anything in the luggage compartment higher than the seat-
backs.
In the event of a sudden braking or an accident, the luggage may be thrown
out and cause injury to the driver or passengers.
⚫When loading long-size lugga ge by folding the rear seatbacks, avoid placing
the luggage directly behind the seatback s of the front seats as much as pos-
sible.
⚫Do not let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. It is not designed for
occupants. They should ride in their se ats with their seat belts properly fas-
tened.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury in the event of sudden
braking or a collision.
