Precautions While Driving
NOTICE
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing
the accelerator pedal. You could damage the
transmission.
If the ignition switch is turned to ACCESSORY
or LOCK while driving, the engine will shut
down and all steering and brake power assist
functions will stop, making it difficult to control the
vehicle.
Do not drive with the shift lever in , as you will
lose engine braking (and acceleration)
performance.
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation,
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation
so as to not damage the engine or powertrain.
Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brakes are
replaced.
