WARNING!
• Leaving the Electronic Speed Control system on when not in use is
dangerous. You could accidentally set the system or cause it to go
faster than you want. You could lose control and have a collision.
Always leave theElectronic Speed Control system off when you are
not using it.
• Electronic Speed Control can be dangerous where the system
cannot maintain a constant speed. Your vehicle could go too fast for
the conditions, and you could lose control. A collision could be the
result. Do not use Electronic Speed Control in heavy traffic or on
roads that are winding, icy, snow-covered or slippery.
CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION (CVT)
• While conventional automatic transmissions typically have 4, 5 or 6
speeds, the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has an infinite
number of speeds. This allows it to adjust to exactly the right ratio to
optimize performance and fuel economy.
• Under hard acceleration, you may hear more engine noise than with a
conventional transmission. The CVT may also occasionally feel like it is
“shifting.” These characteristics are perfectly normal and contribute to
the CVT's efficiency.

with an open sunroof. You could also be severely injured or killed.
Always fasten your seatbelt properly and make sure all passengers
are properly secured.
