CAUTION
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the liquid crystal informa-
tion display. At extremely low temperatures, 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, caus-
ing rapid and excessive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death
or injury.
■Cautions during setting up the display
As the engine needs to be running during
setting up the display, ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate
ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful car-
bon monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a
serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■During setting up the display
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge, ensure that the engine is running tem is operating> while setting up the display features.
