CAUTION

■

When the temperature of the display is extremely low

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the shift position and shift

range/gear display. At extremely low temperatures, the display may respond slowly,

and display changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the driver’s downshifting and the new gear

number appearing on the display. In this case, wait until the display changes and

take care not to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine braking and

possibly an accident resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

●

Do not let the indicator needle of the tachometer enter the red zone, which indi-

cates the maximum engine speed.

●
