sional, perform the bedding down operation.

NOTICE
When driving the vehicle

driving. If the brake pedal is depressed while driving with the accelerator
pedal depressed, driving torque may be restrained.
With automatic transmission vehicles
Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake ped-
als together to hold the vehicle on a hill.
With manual transmission vehicles
Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
Do not use any gears other than the first gear when starting off and mov-
ing forward.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
Do not use the clutch to hold the vehicle when stopping on an uphill
grade.
Doing so may damage the clutch.
When parking the vehicle
With automatic transmission vehicles, always put the shift lever in P. Failure
to do so may cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle may accelerate sud-

Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
Do not turn the steering wheel fully in either direction and hold it there for
a long time.
Doing so may damage the power steering motor.
When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
