Precautions While Driving
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the power 
system or driveline, or caus e electrical component failure.
■In Rain1Precautions While Driving
NOTICE
Do not select a shift button while pressing the 
accelerator pedal. You could damage the 
transmission.
NOTICE
The following can damage the rear frames and rear 
suspensions. Be careful when driving.
•Backing up the vehicle into  a space with a parking 
block or road shoulder
•Driving up or down to a different surface level 
(such as a road shoulder)
•Driving on a road with potholes
NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an 
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in 
the full left or right position for a while, the electric 
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system 
goes into a protective  mode, and limits its 
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder 
and harder to operate. Once  the system cools down, 
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under  these conditions can 
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while 
driving, the power system will shut down and all 
steering and brake power a ssist functions will stop, 
making it difficult to control the vehicle.
