Driving tips
• On a road surface where there is a risk of wheelspin (for example, a snow- or gravel-covered road), you can pull away from a standstill (safely and easily) by first selecting the 2nd gear of the manual mode.
• Always apply the foot or parking brake when the vehicle is stopped in the “D” or “R” position.
• Always set the parking brake when parking your vehicle. Do not hold the vehicle with only the transmission.
• Do not keep the vehicle in a stationary position on an uphill grade by using the “D” position. Use the brake instead.
• The engine may, on rare occasions, knock when the vehicle rapidly accelerates or rapidly pulls away from a standstill.
This phenomenon does not indicate a problem.
