WARNING
■The information display at low temperatures
Allow the interior of the vehicle to
warm up before using the liquid crys- tal information display. At extremely low temperatures, the display moni-
tor may respond slowly, and display changes may be delayed.
For example, there is a lag between
the driver’s shifting and the new shift range appearing on the display. This lag could cause the driver to down-
shift again, causing rapid and exces- sive engine braking and possibly an accident resulting in death or injury.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the engine and its components
●The engine may be overheating if “Engine Coolant Temp High Stop in a Safe Place See Owner’s Manual”
is shown on the multi-information display. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a safe place, and
check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P.611)
