2-1. Driving procedures
● Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a metal-
lized film such as a silver-colored one. Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to
act as a lens, causing a fire.
● Always apply the parking brake, select 1st gear or Reverse, stop the engine and
lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
● Do not stop the engine without first checking the gear indicator to confirm that
either 1st gear or Reverse is selected.
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it is
snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is running,
exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a seri-
ous health hazard.
● Do not touch the hood grilles, bezels in the
radiator grilles, or exhaust pipes and sur-
rounding area while the engine is running
or immediately after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
