CAUTION
■When the temperature of the display is extremely low
Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm up before using the shift position and shift
range/gear display. At extremely low temperatures, the display may respond slowly,
and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between the driver’s downshifting and the new gear
number 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 serious injury.
