Starting the vehicle
Reduction gear
Precautions
WARNING
• ALWAYS check the surrounding areas near your vehicle for people, especially chil
dren, before shifting a vehicle into D (Drive) or R (Reverse).
• Before leaving the driver's seat, always make sure the gear is in the P (Park) posi
tion, then set the parking brake, and place the Power button in the OFF position.
Unexpected and sudden vehicle movement can occur if these precautions are not
followed.
• Shifting into P (Park) whilst the vehicle is in motion may cause you to lose control of
the vehicle.
• After the vehicle has stopped, always make sure P (Park) gear position is selected,
apply the parking brake, and turn the vehicle off.
• Do not use the P (Park) position in place of the parking brake.
• When you park the vehicle, make sure Electronic Parking Brake is applied even
though the gear is in the P (Park) position.
• If equipped with Electronic Parking Brake, parking brake is applied automatically
when the gear is shifted to P (Park).
CAUTION
• Do not open the driver's door when going through an automatic car wash tunnel
machine. Failure to follow this instruction can damage your vehicle or the car wash
machine.
If the driver's door is opened within 3 minutes after shifting to N (Neutral), your ve
hicle will automatically shift the gear to P (Park).
For vehicles equipped with Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), the parking brake is au
tomatically applied.
• Always come to a complete stop before shifting into or out of R (Reverse); you may
damage the reduction gear if you shift into R (Reverse) whilst the vehicle is in mo
tion, except on "Rocking the vehicle" (refer to "Rocking the vehicle" on page 473 ).
NOTE
• With the gear in N (Neutral), the vehicle will be in the ACC position. Note that the
doors cannot be locked in ACC position or the battery (12V) may discharge if left in
the ACC position for a long period.
• Always depress the brake pedal whilst shifting to another gear.
• You cannot shift the gear whilst the charging cable is connected.
