When the warning display appears
There
could be a system malfunction if the
warn-
ing
display or the
warning display is displayed
on
the information screen in the multi-information
display.
CAUTION
l
If malfunction occurs in the CVT while
driving, the warning display or the
warning display will appear on the infor-
mation
screen in the multi-information
display.
In this case, follow these procedures:
[When
warning display is showing]
The
CVT fluid is overheating. The engine
control may activate to lower the CVT flu-
id temperature, causing the engine revolu-
tions and vehicle speed to decrease. In
this case, take one of the following meas-
ures.
• Slow down your vehicle.
• Stop the vehicle in a safe place, place
the selector lever in the “P” (PARK)
position, and open the bonnet with the
engine running to allow the engine to
cool down.
After a while, confirm that the
warn-
ing
display is no longer showing. It is safe
to continue driving if the display is no lon-
ger showing. If the warning display re-
mains or appears frequently, we recom-
mend you to have your vehicle inspected.
[When
warning display is showing]
It
may be that there is something unusual
happening in the CVT, causing a safety de-
vice to activate. We recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected as soon as pos-
sible.
Operation of the CVT
E00602600182
CAUTION
l
Before
selecting a position with the en-
gine running and the vehicle stationary,
fully depress the brake pedal to prevent
the vehicle from creeping.
The vehicle will begin to move as soon as
the CVT is engaged, especially when the
engine speed is high, at fast idle or with
the air conditioning operating, the brakes
should only be released when you are
ready to drive away.
l
Depress the brake pedal with the right
foot at all times.
Using the left foot could cause driver move-
ment delay in case of an emergency.
l
To prevent sudden acceleration, never
race the engine when shifting from the
“P” (PARK) or “N” (NEUTRAL) position.
l
Operating the accelerator pedal while the
other foot is resting on the brake pedal
will affect braking efficiency and may
cause premature wear of brake pads.
l
Use the selector lever in the correct shift
position in accordance with driving condi-
tions.
Never coast downhill backward with the
driving shift position {“D” (DRIVE) or
sports mode} or coast forward with the
“R” (REVERSE) position.
The engine stops and the brake pedal ef-
fort or the steering wheel handling weight
increasing could lead to an accident.
