160 2-1. Driving procedures
CAUTION
Vehicles with a manual transmission
●If the accelerator and brake pedals are depressed at the same time, driv-
ing torque may be restrained. This is not a malfunction.
●Do not shift gears unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed. After shifting,
do not release the clutch pedal abruptly. Doing so may damage the clutch,
transmission and gears.
●Observe the following to prevent the clutch from being damaged.
• Do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal while driving.
Doing so may cause clutch trouble.
• Do not use any gear other than the 1st 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.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R when the vehicle is still moving. Doing so
may damage the clutch, transmission and gears.
●Do not release the clutch pedal too quickly. Doing so may damage the
transmission.
■When parking the vehicle (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
Always shift the select lever to P. Failure to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehicle may accelerate suddenly if the accelerator pedal is acci-
dentally depressed. Also set the parking brake.
■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 steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the road, drive as slowly as possible to avoid
damaging the wheels, underside of the vehicle, etc.
●On vehicles with an automatic transmission, do not race the engine for
more than 5 seconds in any position except the N or P position when the
brake is applied or when chocks are used in the wheels. This may cause
the transmission fluid to overheat.

372 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
*1: Driver’s seatbelt buzzer:
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system
The driver’s seatbelt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seatbelt
is not fastened. Once the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, the
buzzer sounds for 6 seconds. If the vehicle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20
km/h), the buzzer sounds once. If the seatbelt is still unfastened after 30
seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 10 seconds. Then, if the
seatbelt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for 20
more seconds.
