On roads with high driving resistance
such as deep-snowy or sandy roads,
or on steep slopes, a high load is
applied to the transmission, causing
excessive heat generation. Under
these driving conditions, pay
attention to the following points.
 Stop and hold the vehicle on a
steep slope with the brake pedal,
not the accelerator pedal. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to
prevent the vehicle from rolling.
 Avoid using the accelerator pedal
and the brake pedal at the same
time.
 Start driving the vehicle in the D or
R position according to the
direction of travel (avoid starting in
manual mode).
If you do not follow the above
precautions, the transmission may
overheat. If a message, such as
transmission cooling, is displayed, it
is necessary to temporarily stop the
vehicle to cool the transmission.How to Use the Selector Lever
