RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Driving
4
⚫Avoid sudden engine braking (shift lever operation). The tires may lock and
slip, causing an accident.
⚫Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle.
⚫Always check that all occupants’ arms , heads or other parts of their bodies
are not outside the vehicle.
⚫Do not drive off-road.
If you must drive off-road, drive carefully.
⚫Do not drive underwater such as crossing a river.
It may cause a serious vehicle failure such as short-circuiting of electrical
components or damage to the engine.
⚫Do not drive with luggage on or near the seats.
If the vehicle brakes or turns sudden ly, the luggage may be thrown out and
hit occupants, the luggage may be dama ged, or the driver may be distracted
by the luggage, which may lead to an unforeseen accident.
⚫Drive carefully where there are large steps or where there are wheel chocks.
The bumper may be damaged.
⚫Do not release the clutch pedal all the way at once. Doing so could move the
vehicle forward and may lead to an unforeseen accident. (➞ P. 194)
⬛When driving on slippery road surfaces
⚫Sudden braking, acceleration or steering may cause tire slippage and reduce
your ability to control the vehicle.
⚫Sudden acceleration, engine braking due to shifting, or changes in engine
speed could cause the vehicle to skid.
⚫After driving through a puddle, lightly depress the brake pedal to make sure
that the brakes are functioning prop erly. Wet brake pads may prevent the
brakes from functioning properly. If th e brakes on only one side are wet and
not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
⬛When operating the shift lever
⚫For the continuously variable transmissi on vehicles, never let the vehicle roll
backward while the shift lever is in a driv ing position, or roll forward while the
shift lever is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to sta ll or lead to poor brake and steering
performance, resulting in an acci dent or damage to the vehicle.

1734-1. Driving the vehicle
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
Driving
4
⚫Avoid revving or racing the engine.
Running the engine at high speed while the vehicle is stopped may cause
the exhaust system to overheat, which could result in a fire if combustible
material is nearby.
⬛When parking the vehicle
⚫Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, aerosol cans, or carbonated bever-
age cans in the vehicle under the scorching sun.
Doing so may result in the following:
⦁ Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or aerosol can, and may lead to a fire
⦁ The glasses with plastic lenses and plastic material may deform or crack
⦁ Carbonated beverage cans may fracture, causing the contents to spill over
the interior of the vehicle, and may al so cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components
⚫Do not leave cigarette lighters in the vehi cle. If a cigarette lighter is in a stor-
age compartment or on the floor, it ma y be lit accidentally when luggage is
loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.
⚫Do not attach adhesive discs to the windshield or windows. Do not place
containers such as fragrance on the instrument panel or dashboard.
Adhesive discs or containers may act as lenses, causing a fire in the vehicle.
⚫Do not leave a door or window open if the curved glass is coated with a
metallized film such as a silver-colored one.
Reflected sunlight may cause the glass to act as a lens, causing a fire.
⚫For continuously variable transmission vehicles, always apply the parking
brake, set the shift lever to P, stop the engine, and lock the vehicle when
leaving the vehicle unattended.
Do not leave the vehicle unattende d while the engine is running.
If the vehicle is parked wi th the shift lever in P but the parking brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an accident.
⚫Do not touch the exhaust pipes while th e engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
⬛When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off.
Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift lever or depress the accelerator
pedal, this could cause an accident or fire due to engine overheating. Addition-
ally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly ventilated area, exhaust gases may enter
the vehicle, leading to death or a serious health hazard.

2364-5. Using the driving support systems
RAIZE_OM_General_BZ358E
WARNING
⬛The ABS does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the ABS.
The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as exces-
sively worn tires on a snow covered road).
⚫The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on wet or slick roads.
⬛Stopping distance when the ABS is operating may exceed that of normal
conditions
The ABS is not designed to shorten th e vehicle’s stopping distance. Always
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the fol-
lowing situations:
⚫When driving on dirt, grav el or snow-covered roads
⚫When driving with tire chains
⚫When driving over bumps in the road
⚫When driving over roads with potholes or roads with uneven surfaces
⬛TRC/VSC may not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on the TRC/VSC.
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the TRC/VSC system is operating.
Drive the vehicle carefully in condit ions where stability and power may be
lost.
⚫The VSC and TRC may not function proper ly when tire chains are installed.
⬛Hill-start assist control does not operate effectively when
⚫Do not overly rely on hill-start assist control. Hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines an d dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads.
⚫Unlike the parking brake, hill-start assist control is not intended to hold the
vehicle stationary for an extended period of time. Do not attempt to use hill-
start assist control to hold the vehicle on an incline, as doing so may lead to
an accident.
⚫The hill-start assist control may no t become activated depending on the
number of occupants or luggage weight in the vehicle, or if the driver did not
step on the brake pedal strong enough when stopping.
⬛When the VSC is activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully. Reckless driving may
cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator light flashes.
⬛When the ABS warning light or slip indicator is on
The emergency brake signal ( ➞P. 232) may not be activated.
