WARNING
■The information display at 
low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to 
warm up before using the liquid 
crystal information display. At 
extremely low temperatures, the 
information disp lay 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 exces-
sive engine braking and possibly 
an accident resulting in death or 
injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the 
engine and its components
●Do not let the indicator needle 
of the tachometer enter the red 
zone, which indicates the maxi-
mum engine speed.
