Brake pedal
• In a vehicle that has disc brakes, illumination of
the warning lamp while the vehicle is being
driven shows that the disc brake pads are due
for replacement. Have the disc brake pads
inspected by an authorized dealer.
The warning lamp always illuminates when
the starter switch is turned from the “ACC” posi-
tion to the “ON” position. Provided it goes off
approximately three seconds later, the disc
brake pads are normal.
• Use the brake pedal correctly. P. 7-8
Clutch pedal
<Manual transmission vehicles>
• Do not operate the vehicle with your foot on the
clutch pedal as doing so can shorten the service
life of the clutch. Driving with your foot on the
clutch pedal could prevent engine braking and
exhaust braking from taking place.
• Depress the clutch pedal fully when changing
gear. If you do not depress the clutch pedal far
enough, the clutch will slip, possibly damaging
the clutch discs.
<Manual transmission vehicles>
WARNING
Allowing empty beverage cans or other
objects to get under the brake pedal is
extremely dangerous as they will interfere
with brake pedal movement. Keep the floor
free of any objects obstructive to operation
of the pedal.
Gearshift lever
WARNING
When the gearshift lever is in the neutral
position, never keep your hand on it. Such
forward or backward pressure on the lever
could cause the vehicle to move accidentally,
possibly leading to an accident.
