due to engine overheat- ing. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehicle, lead- ing to death or a serious health hazard.
■When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.Braking distance increases when the
brakes are wet, and this may cause one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the parking
brake may not securely hold the vehi- cle.
●If the electronically controlled brake system does not operate, do not follow
other vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking.In this case, braking is still possible, but
the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual. Also, the brak-ing distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
●The brake system consists of 2 or more individual hydraulic systems; if one of the systems fails, the other(s) will still
operate. In this case, the brake pedal should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will
increase. Have your brakes fixed immediately.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time while driving, as this may restrain the engine
output.
●Do not use the accelerator pedal or depress the accelerator and brake pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel fully in
either direction and hold it there for an extended period of time. Doing so may damage the power
