TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
NOTE
When parking outdoors, take steps to prevent the engine from getting
unnecessarily cold. For example, position the vehicle with the front end
downwind.
Do not park under trees or under the eaves of a building. Chunks of ice could
fall on the vehicle if you park in such a place.
If you park a hill start aid (HSA) model in gear, a warning buzzer will sound for
about 30 seconds. This does not indicate an abnormality.

Cautions for Driving in Hot Regions and Season
The engine will be prone to overheating
in an environment where the ambient
temperature is high. To prevent the engine
from overheating, pay attention to the
following points:
If the engine does not contain the
appropriate concentration of engine
coolant, overheating is likely to occur.
Engine Coolant → Refer to page 7-39
If foreign matter (insects, mud, etc.)
gets stuck in the radiator's air passages,
the cooling system's performance will
deteriorate. Check the air passages for
clogging, and remove any foreign matter
using water under low pressure.
Handling the Radiator and Intercooler
→ Refer to page 7-54
CAUTION
Do not put well water, river water
or other hard water in the engine
cooling system. It would hasten the
formation of rust and scale.
