■Caution for use while driving
●When operating the multi-information display while driving, pay extra atten-tion to the safety of the area around the
vehicle.
●Do not look continuously at the multi- information display while driving as you may fail to see pedestrians, objects
on the road, etc. ahead of the vehicle.
■The information display at low tem- peratures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal infor-
mation display. At extremely low tem- peratures, the information display monitor may respond slowly, and display
changes may be delayed. For example, there is a lag between the driver’s shifting and the new gear number
appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to downshift again, causing rapid and excessive engine brak-
ing and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
