Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

mation display. At extremely low tem-
peratures, the in formation display
monitor may respond slowly, and display

ber appearing on the display. This lag
could cause the driver to downshift
again, causing rapid and excessive
engine braking and possibly an accident
resulting in death or injury.

its components
●Do not let the indicator needle of the
tachometer enter the red zone, which
indicates the maximum engine speed.
●The engine may be overheating if the
engine coolant temperature gauge is

diately stop the vehicle in a safe place,
and check the engine after it has
cooled completely. ( P.393)
