2-1. Driving procedures

When driving

CAUTION

●

Always check that all passengers' arms, heads or other parts of their bodies are

not outside the vehicle, as this may result in death or serious injury.

●

Do not drive the vehicle off-road.

This is not a AWD vehicle designed for real off-road driving. Proceed with all due

caution if it becomes unavoidable to drive off-road.

●

Do not drive across river crossings or through other bodies of water.

This may cause electric/electronic components to short circuit, damage the

engine or cause other serious damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do

not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicle has high-speed capability

tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may result in tire failure, loss of control and

possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on

your vehicle are high-speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds.

■

When driving on slippery road surfaces

●

Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippage and reduce

your ability to control the vehicle, resulting in an accident.

●

Sudden changes in engine speed, such as engine braking caused by up-shifting

or down-shifting, may cause the vehicle to skid, resulting in an accident.

●

After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure that

the brakes are functioning properly. Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes from

functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.
