NOTE
l The
combination of items shown on the dis-
play varies depending on the vehicle model. CAUTION
l
When display/indicator blinks, ASC is
operating,
which means that the road is
slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are
beginning to slip. If this happens, drive
slower with less accelerator input.
l If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the display/indicator will blink. To pre-
vent

the brake system from overheating,
the brake control of the traction control
function will be temporarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction control
function and normal brake operation will
not be affected. Park your vehicle in a
safe place. When the temperature in the
braking system has come down, the dis-
play/indicator

will be turned off and the
traction control function will start operat-
ing again.
NOTE l The display/indicator may turn on when
you

start the engine. This means that the bat-
tery voltage momentarily dropped when the
engine was started. It does not indicate a mal-
function, provided that the display goes out
immediately. l
When
a compact spare tyre has been put on
your vehicle, the gripping ability of the tyre
will be lower, making it more likely that the display/indicator will blink.

l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park

your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
display/indicator goes out. If they go out,
there is no abnormal condition. If they do
not go out or appear frequently, it is not
necessary to stop the vehicle immediately,
but we recommend you to have your vehi-
cle inspected.

E00618400172
The

rear-view camera is a system that shows the
view behind the vehicle on a screen in the centre
panel. CAUTION
l
The
rear-view camera is an assistance sys-
tem that enables the driver to check for
obstacles behind the vehicle. Its range of
view is limited, so you should not overly
depend on it. Please drive just as careful-
ly as you would if the vehicle did not have
the rear-view camera.
l Be sure to visually confirm safety around
the vehicle with your own eyes. Do not de-
pend entirely on the rear-view camera.
Range of view of rear-view camera
The
range of view of the rear-view camera is limi-
ted to the area shown in the illustrations. It cannot
show both sides and the lower part of the rear bump-
er, etc.

Operating hints l To prevent the clutch from slipping (Vehicle
with a M/T only), do not rev the engine more
than is required when starting off. l
Be
sure that the driving speed does not ex-
ceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer operation.
It is also recommended that you obey the lo-
cal regulations in case driving speed with a
trailer is limited to less than 100 km/h
(62 mph).
l To prevent shocks from the overrun brake, de-
press the brake pedal lightly at first and then
more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking, change
to a lower shift point before descending a
slope.
Additional precautions for vehicles equipped with
a CVT
It is recommended the “D” position on slopes or at
low speed.
Use the sports mode in mountainous areas in order
to make better use of engine braking and to assist
the brake system.
However, be sure that the speed does not exceed
the maximum speed limit for the selected shift posi-
tion.
Overheating
This will normally occur as a result of some me-
chanical failure. If your vehicle should overheat,
stop and check for a loose or broken water pump/
alternator drive belt, a blocked radiator air intake
or a low coolant level. If these items are satisfacto-
ry the overheating could be caused by a number of
mechanical causes that would have to be checked
at a competent service centre. CAUTION
l
If the engine overheats, please refer to the
“Engine

overheating” section of “For
emergencies” prior to taking any correc-
tive action.
l On vehicles equipped with CVT, if the warning display is showing, the tempera-
ture of the CVT fluid is high.
Read

the reference page and take the re-
quired measures.
Refer to “When a malfunction occurs in
the CVT” on page 4-27. Starting and driving
