IMPORTANT INFORMATION
On an automatic transmission model, there is no need to use a clutch pedal; you
can pull away, change gears and stop the vehicle using the selector lever or selector
buttons, accelerator pedal, and brake pedal. Be sure to learn the characteristics of the
automatic transmission and how to correctly operate it. When the vehicle is stationary,
remember to keep the brake pedal firmly pressed and, if necessary, place the selector
lever in "N" (selector lever type) or press the neutral button (selector button type),
make sure the shift selector display is showing "N", and apply the parking brake.
Immediately after engine startup, while the air conditioner is running, the engine speed
rises, making creep stronger than it is at other times. When you move the selector
lever out of "N" or press a selector button other than the neutral button, firmly press the
brake pedal.

NOTE
[Creep]
With the engine running and
the selector lever in a position
other than "N" selected, power
reaches the wheels even when the
accelerator pedal is not pressed,
causing the vehicle to tend to move.
This phenomenon is called creep.
The higher the engine speed, the
stronger the creep and the greater
the vehicle's tendency to move.
