7-3
Observe the following precautions while driving.
Should you notice anything unusual about the vehi-
cle, immediately stop the vehicle and inspect the
relevant sections to find the cause of the trouble. If
you are unable to identify the cause of the trouble or
unable to do the repairs yourself, call your nearest
authorized dealer.
• Do not stop the engine while the vehicle is mov-
ing.
• Should the engine stall while the vehicle is in
motion, do not panic. Simply depress the brake
pedal to slow the vehicle, and pull off the road
as soon as it is safe to do so.
• If a red warning lamp comes on, the buzzer
sounds, or the vehicle behaves abnormally, stop
the vehicle in the nearest safe place and investi-
gate the cause. P. 6-5
If you cannot identify the cause or cannot rectify
the problem, contact an authorized dealer.
• Avoid making sharp turns and braking hard
except in emergencies. Doing so during high-
speed driving could cause the vehicle to tip over.
Precautions for driving
WARNING
Never place the starter switch in any position
other than the “ON” position while operating
the vehicle.
If you turn the starter switch to the “ACC”
position, the engine will stop. This is danger-
ous.
If the engine stops during driving:
• The braking force reduces extremely.
• The power steering system becomes inop-
erative, rendering steering dangerously
sluggish.
• The fuel injection system can malfunction.
• The electrical circuits of the warning
lamps, meters, etc. become inoperative,
causing electric components to malfunc-
tion.
Removing the starter key causes the steering
wheel to lock, making it impossible to steer
the vehicle.
