Driving and Operating
Keep the Floor Around the Driver's Seat
Clean and Tidy
{
Warning
It is extremely dangerous to have empty
cans, empty bottles or other items rolling
around on the floor because they could
get trapped under the brake pedal and
prevent brake application. For proper
pedal operation, it is also essential to lay
floor mats properly. Incorrectly installed
floor mats would hinder free movement
of the pedals.
Do not use the dashboard pocket or the
top of the dashboard as a place to put
items that could roll, which could
interfere with your driving. You and
others could be seriously injured.
Choose Your Footwear Suitable for Driving
{
Warning
Choose footwear that ensures proper
operation of pedals when driving the
vehicle. Use of footwear unsuitable for
driving may cause an accident.

the START position for more than about
10 seconds. Operating the starter for too

to 30 seconds and then turn the engine
control switch again.

pedal to start the engine.
For models with P-range, start the engine
with the selector lever in the "P" position
when stopped on a slope.
