1Precautions While Driving
Do not select a shift button while pressing the
accelerator pedal.
The following can damage the rear frames and rear
suspensions. Be careful when driving.
• Backing up the vehicle into a space with a parking
block or road shoulder
• Driving up or down to a different surface level
(such as a road shoulder)
• Driving on a road with potholes
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the power system will shut down and all
steering and brake power assist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.
