Precautions While Driving

1Precautions While Driving

In Rain

■

CAUTION: Do not drive on the road where water is

deep. Driving through deep water will cause damage

to the engine and electrical equipment and the

vehicle will break down.

Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or

driveline, or cause electrical component failure.

NOTICE

Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the

accelerator pedal. You could damage the

transmission.

NOTICE

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an

extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in

the full left or right position for a while, the electric

power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system

goes into a protective mode, and limits its

performance. The steering wheel becomes harder

and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,

the EPS system is restored. Repeated operation under

these conditions can eventually damage the system.

If the ignition switch is turned to ACCESSORY (q

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 put the transmission into (N, as you will lose

engine braking (and acceleration) performance.

*1: Models with the keyless access system have an ENGINE START/STOP button instead of an ignition

switch.

1Precautions While Driving

Other Precautions

■

During the first 1,000 km (625 miles) of operation,

avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so

as not to damage the engine or powertrain.

If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.

Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

Avoid hard braking for the first 300 km (200 miles).

You should also follow this when the brake pads are

replaced.

NOTICE

The following can damage the under spoiler:

• Parking the vehicle by a parking block

• Parallel parking along the road shoulder

• Driving towards the bottom of a hill

• Driving up or down to a different surface level

(such as a road shoulder)

• Driving on a rutted or bumpy road

• Driving on a road with potholes.

uuWhen DrivinguShifting

17-Speed Manual Shift Mode

7-Speed Manual Shift Mode

■

In the 7-speed manual shift mode, the transmission

shifts up or down by operating either paddle shifter

under the following conditions:

Shift Up: The engine speed reaches the lowest

threshold of the higher speed position.

Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 7th speeds without releasing

your hands from the steering wheel. The transmission switches to the 7-speed

manual shift mode when you pull a paddle shifter while driving. This mode is useful

when engine braking is needed.

Shift Down: The engine speed reaches the highest

threshold of the lower speed position.

■ When the shift lever is in (D:

The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode temporarily, and the

number is displayed in the shift indicator.

The 7-speed manual shift mode is cancelled automatically if you drive at constant

speed or accelerate, and the number in the shift indicator goes off.

When the engine speed reaches near the

tachometer’s red zone, the transmission shifts up

automatically.

When the engine speed reaches the lowest threshold

of the selected speed position, the transmission shifts

down automatically.

You can cancel this mode by pulling the

paddle shifter for a few seconds.

The 7-speed manual shift mode is especially useful when reducing the vehicle speed

temporarily before making a turn.

Operating the paddle shifters on slippery surfaces

may cause the tyres to lock up. In this case, the 7-

speed manual shift mode is cancelled and goes back

to the normal driving mode.

■ When the shift lever is in (S:

The shift mode goes into the 7-speed manual shift mode. The M indicator and the

speed number are displayed in the shift indicator. As the vehicle speed slows down,

the transmission automatically shifts down accordingly. When the vehicle comes to

a stop, it automatically shifts down into 1st.

You can cancel this mode by pulling the

paddle shifter for a few seconds.

If the vehicle speed increases and the engine speed reaches near the tachometer’s

red zone, the transmission automatically shifts up.

You can only pull away in 1st gear.

When cancelling the 7-speed manual shift mode, move the shift lever from (S to

(D. When the 7-speed manual shift mode is cancelled, the M indicator and shift

indicator will turn off.

To change continuously, release the paddle shifter

before pulling it again for the next speed.

The shift indicator blinks when you cannot shift up or

down. It indicates that your vehicle speed is not in its

allowable shifting range.

Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift

down while the indicator is blinking.

You can cancel this mode by pulling the

paddle shifter for a few seconds.

NOTICE

■

Do not shift to (R before the vehicle comes to a

Shifting to (R before stopping can damage the

transmission.

Fully depress the clutch pedal to operate the shift lever and change gears, then

slowly release the pedal.

Depress the clutch pedal, and pause for a few seconds before shifting into (R, or

shift into one of the forward gears for a moment. This stops the gears so they do not

“grind.”

NOTICE

Before downshifting, make sure the engine will not

go into the tachometer's red zone. Should this occur,

it can severely damage your engine.

When you are not shifting, do not rest your

foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your

clutch to wear out faster.

There is a metallic part on the shift lever. If you leave

the vehicle parked outside for a long time on a hot

day, be careful before moving the shift lever. Because

of heat, the shift lever may be extremely hot. If the

outside temperature is low, the shift lever may feel

cold.

If you exceed the maximum speed for the gear you

are in, the engine speed will enter into the

tachometer's red zone. When this happens, you may

experience a slight jolt.

If the message appears:

• Use the heating and cooling system^*/climate

control system^*to cool down the interior and, if

necessary, the demister mode when windows are

fogged.

Lane Departure Warning Conditions and Limitations

■

Lane Departure Warning may not activate or may not recognize lanes, and may

activate even when keeping in the middle of a lane, under certain conditions. Some

examples of these conditions are listed below.

• Start driving the vehicle to lower the windscreen

temperature, which cools down the area around

the Lane Departure Warning camera.

■ Environmental conditions

• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).

• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as an entrance or exit of a tunnel.

• There is little contrast between lane lines and the roadway surface.

• Driving into low sunlight (e.g., at dawn or dusk).

• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

• Driving in the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.

• Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane markings.

• Roadway objects or structures are misinterpreted as lane markers.

• Reflections on the interior of the front windscreen.

If the

message appears:

Park your vehicle in a safe place. Wipe away debris

blocking the windscreen, then start driving again. If

the message remains on even after driving for a while

with the clean windscreen, have your vehicle checked

by a dealer.

Traffic Sign Recognition System^*

*

Reminds you of road sign information, such as the current speed limit and that

overtaking is prohibited, your vehicle has just passed through, showing it on the

multi-information display.

1Traffic Sign Recognition System

The system is designed to detect signs that follow the

Vienna Convention standards. Not all signs may be

displayed, but any signs posted on roadsides should

not be ignored.

The Traffic Sign Recognition System is designed to

merely provide driving assistance. The driver must still

be aware of the road conditions and comply with all

road regulations. Certain conditions, such as below,

may disrupt the system’s proper operations.

• The upper part of the windscreen is fogged or

frosted, or is blocked by dirt, mud, leaves, wet

snow, etc.

How the System Works

■

When the camera located behind the rearview mirror captures traffic signs while

driving, the system displays the ones that are recognised as designated for your

vehicle. The sign icon will be displayed for a while until the vehicle reaches a

predetermined time and distance.

• Dew condensation is formed on the windscreen.

The sign icon also may switch to another one or disappear when:

• The end of speed limit or other designated limit is detected.

• Your vehicle enters/exists motorway or highway.

• You make a turn with a turn signal to change direction at an intersection.

uuWhen DrivinguVehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

VSA helps to stabilise the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less

than what was intended. It also assists in maintaining traction on slippery surfaces.

It does so by regulating engine output and selectively applying the brakes.

1Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System

The VSA may not function properly if tyre type and

size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and

type of tyre, and the air pressures as specified.

VSA Operation

■

When the VSA system indicator comes on and stays

on while driving, there may be a problem with the

system. While this may not interfere with normal

driving, have your vehicle checked by a dealer

immediately.

When VSA activates, you may notice that the

engine does not respond to the accelerator.

You may also notice some noise from the

hydraulic system. You will also see the

indicator blink.

VSA System Indicator

VSA cannot enhance stability in all driving situations

and does not control the entire braking system. You

still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate

for the conditions and always leave a sufficient

margin of safety.

The Main function of the VSA system is generally

known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The

system also includes a traction control function.

uuWhen DrivinguDeflation Warning System

Deflation Warning System

Instead of directly measuring the pressure in each tyre, the deflation warning system

on this vehicle monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational

characteristics of each wheel and tyre while you are driving to determine if one or

more tyres are significantly under-inflated. This will cause the low tyre pressure/

deflation warning system indicator to come on and a message to appear on the

multi-information display.

1Deflation Warning System

The system does not monitor the tyres when driving

at low speed.

Conditions such as low ambient temperature and

altitude change directly affect tyre pressure and can

trigger the low tyre pressure/deflation warning

system indicator to come on.

Tyre pressure checked and inflated in:

• Warm weather can become under-inflated in

colder weather.

• Cold weather can become over-inflated in warmer

weather.

Deflation Warning System Calibration

■

You must start deflation warning system calibration every time you:

• Adjust the pressure in one or more tyres.

• Rotate the tyres.

The low tyre pressure indicator will not come on as a

result of over inflation.

• Replace one or more tyres.

The deflation warning system may not function

properly if tyre type and size are mixed.

Make sure to use the same size and type of tyre.

2 Checking and Maintaining Tyres P. 515

Before calibrating the deflation warning system:

• Set the cold tyre pressure in all four tyres.

Make sure:

• The vehicle is at a complete stop.

The low tyre pressure/deflation warning system

indicator may come on with a delay or may not come

on at all when:

Manual transmission models

• You rapidly accelerate, decelerate, or turn the

steering wheel.

• You drive on snowy or slippery roads.

• Snow chains are used.

• The parking brake is applied.
