IMPORTANT INFORMATION
WARNING
When you move the gearshift lever to a position other than "N", creep will
cause the vehicle to move. When pulling away, be sure to keep the brake pedal
pressed as you operate the gearshift lever.
Do not hold down the accelerator pedal while operating the gearshift lever. The
vehicle would abruptly start moving, possibly causing an accident.
Immediately after engine startup, while the air conditioner is running, the engine
speed automatically rises, making creep stronger than it is at other times. Keep
the brake pedal firmly pressed.

ADVICE
[Essential points for safety]
Even if you plan to move only a short distance, adopt the correct driving position
and make sure you can firmly press the brake and accelerator pedals.
When you reverse, you twist to look rearward so pedal operation becomes
difficult. Firmly press the brake pedal while twisting your body. Also, get in the
habit of immediately returning the gearshift lever to "N" after reversing. When
pulling away, visually check the gearshift lever position and the shift indicator.
When repeatedly shifting between forward and reverse gears for a multiple-
point turn or a K-turn, firmly press the brake pedal and confirm that the vehicle
is completely stopped before shifting.
On a Smoother model, you cannot move the gearshift lever out of "N" unless
you are pressing the brake pedal. If you are unable to move the gearshift lever,
release the brake pedal, then press again and try moving the gearshift lever.
On a Smoother model, standing starts are typically performed in second gear.
If you need extra-strong traction for pulling away (for example, when the vehicle
is loaded), you can select a standing start in first gear by holding down the
brake pedal and then placing the 1st start switch in the "ON" position or placing
the gearshift lever in "M" and moving it in "-" (downshift). (The method using the
gearshift lever yields a gear shift in manual mode.)
