The driver fastens the seat belt, closes the door, firmly presses the brake pedal
and shifts the gearshift lever to D.
Make sure the gear indicator shows D.
◼ When starting uphill
Hill Hold Control (HHC) system will be activated automatically to prevent the vehicle from
skidding. (Refer to P.203)
◼ Emergency Stop Signal (ESS)
When a certain speed is reached, if the emergency brake is applied, the brake light
flashes rapidly to alert the vehicle behind until the brake pedal is released.
◼ Driving in rain
⚫ When it is raining, please drive carefully because visibility is reduced, windows tend to
fog up and roads are slippery.
⚫ Do not drive at high speed when it is raining because a film of water will form between
the tires and the road, which will prevent the steering and braking from working
properly.
◼ Running in new car
In order to prolong the life of your vehicle, it is recommended that you observe the
following precautions:
⚫ Within the first 1,000 km:
• Do not brake sharply.
• Do not drive at very high speed.
• Do not accelerate suddenly.
• Do not continue to drive at a low speed.
• Do not drive at constant speed for long periods of time.
◼ Driving abroad
Please abide by the laws and regulations of your country or region.
