4-1. Before driving
If you make no extreme correction with
the steering or brakes, your vehicle and
trailer should stabilize (if enabled, Trailer
Sway Control can also help to stabilize
the vehicle and trailer.).
●After the trailer swaying has stopped: • Stop in a safe place. Get all occupants out of the vehicle.
• Check the tires of the vehicle and the trailer.• Check the load in the trailer.
Make sure the load has not shifted. Make sure the tongue weight is appro-priate, if possible.
• Check the load in the vehicle. Make sure the vehicle is not over-loaded after occupants get in.
If you cannot find any problems, the
speed at which trailer swaying occurred
is beyond the limit of your particular
vehicle-trailer combination. Drive at a
lower speed to prevent instability.
Remember that swaying of the towing
vehicle-trailer increases as speed
increases.
Your vehicle will handle differently
when towing a trailer. In order to
avoid accident, death or serious
injury, keep the following in mind
when towing:
■Checking connections
between trailer and lights
Stop the vehicle and check the
operation of the connection
between the trailer and lights after
driving for a brief period as well as
before starting off.
■Practicing driving with a cou-
pled trailer
 Get the feel for turning, stopping
and reversing with the trailer
coupled by practicing in an area
with no or light traffic.
 When reversing with a coupled
trailer, hold the section of the
steering wheel nearest to you
and rotate clockwise to turn the
trailer left or counterclockwise to
turn it right. Always rotate a little
at a time to prevent steering
error. Have someone guide you
when reversing to lessen the risk
of an accident.
■Increasing vehicle-to-vehicle
distance
At a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph), the
distance to the vehicle running
ahead of you should be equivalent
to or greater than the combined
length of your vehicle and trailer.
Avoid sudden braking that may
cause skidding. Otherwise, the
vehicle may spin out of control. This
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
NOTICE
■When the rear bumper strength- ening material is aluminum
Ensure the steel bracket part does not
come directly in contact with that area.When steel and aluminum come into
contact, there is a reaction similar to corrosion, which will weaken the sec-tion concerned and may result in
damage. Apply a rust inhibitor to parts that will come in contact when attach-ing a steel bracket.

4-1. Before driving
WARNING
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of
the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.167)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while descending steep or long downhill
grades.
■Operation of the brake pedal
Do not hold the brake pedal depressed often or for long periods of time. Doing so may result in the brake
overheating or reduce braking effects.
■To avoid accident or injury
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire: Do not tow a trailer when the com-pact spare tire is installed on your
vehicle.
●Vehicles with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit: Do not tow a trailer when the tire installed is repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
●Vehicles with a Dynamic radar
cruise control: Do not use dynamic radar cruise control when you are towing.
NOTICE
■Do not directly splice trailer lights
Directly splicing trailer lights may damage your vehicle’s electrical sys-tem and cause a malfunction.

CV Owner's Manual_Europe_M52N20_en
4-2. Driving procedures
The iMT optimally controls the
engine speed to suit the driver’s
operation of the clutch pedal and
shift lever, helping the driver to shift
gears more smoothly. Additionally,
when the clutch pedal is operated,
the iMT helps reduce shift shock,
allowing for lighter shift operations
when driving on a winding road or
incline.
Press the “iMT” switch.
The iMT indicator will illuminate in
green.
Press the switch again to cancel iMT.
■The iMT may not operate when
In the following situations, iMT may not operate. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
●The clutch pedal is not fully depressed
●The clutch pedal is not fully released,
such as if a foot is resting on the
clutch pedal*
●Shift operation is performed after the
vehicle has been coasting with the shift lever in N
●The shift lever is not operated for a long time after the clutch pedal is depressed*: After the shift lever is moved, unless
your foot is completely removed from
the clutch pedal, the iMT may not
operate and the engine speed may
not be controlled optimally for the next
gear change.
To enable the iMT, release the clutch
pedal completely and then depress it
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
When shifting gears, observe the fol-
lowing precautions. Failure to do so may cause damage to the engine, manual transmission, and/or clutch.
●Do not shift the shift lever to R with-out depressing the clutch pedal.
●Do not lift up the ring section except when shifting the lever to R.
●Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary.
●Do not rest your hand on or hold the shift lever any time other than when shifting.
●In order not to cause the engine to overrev, make sure to only shift
gears sequentially.
●Do not release the clutch pedal
suddenly.
