Wet brake pads may prevent the brakes fromfunctioning properly. If the brakes on on ly one side are wet and not functioningproperly, steering control may be affected, resulting in an accident.■When shifting the shift leverBe careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause anaccident and result in death or serious injury.■When the vehicle is stopped●Do not race the engine.If the vehicle is in any positions other than "P" or "N" the vehicle may acceleratesuddenly and unexpectedly, and may cause an accident.●Do not leave the vehicle with the engine on for a long time. If such a situation cannot be avoided, park the vehicle in an open space andcheck that exhaust fumes do not enter the vehicle interior.●In order to prevent accidents due to the vehicle rolling away, always keepdepressing the brake pedal while the engine is running, and apply the parkingbrake as necessary.●If the vehicle is stopped on an incline, in order to prevent accidents caused by thevehicle rolling forward or backward, always depress the brake pedal and securelyapply the parking brake as needed.●Avoid revving or racing the engine.
