Starting and driving
CAUTION
• If the vehicle is continuously driven at
low speeds using the tendency of the
vehicle to creep forward, the vehicle
will vibrate or the
warning display
will appear on the information screen
in the multi-information display to
alert the driver that the Twin Clutch
SST fluid temperature has risen.
After that, if the Twin Clutch SST flu-
id temperature rises even higher, the
transmission protection control will
operate.
If this occurs, the vehicle may sudden-
ly reverse as if the gearshift lever was
in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position and
cause an accident.

If the
warning display appears or
the transmission protection control op-
erates, refer to "When
play is showing" on page 4-44.
DRIVING DOWNHILL
When travelling down steep grades, the computer
may automatically select a lower shift position.
This function assists engine braking efforts, reduc-
ing the need for using the service brakes.
Waiting
For short waiting periods, such as at traffic signals,
the gearshift lever can be left in position and the ve-
hicle held stationary with the service brake.
For longer waiting periods with the engine running,
place the gearshift lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL) po-
sition and apply the parking brake, while holding
the vehicle stationary with the service brake.

CAUTION
l
Do not keep the vehicle in a stopped posi-
tion on an uphill slope by depressing the
accelerator pedal instead of the brake ped-
al.
The transmission may be damaged and
an accident may occur due to the follow-
ing conditions.
• The Twin Clutch SST fluid tempera-
ture will rise and can cause transmis-
sion damage.
• If the vehicle is kept in a stopped posi-
tion by depressing the accelerator ped-
al instead of the brake pedal, the vehi-
cle will vibrate or "SLOW DOWN"
and the
warning display will ap-
pear on the information screen in the
multi-information display to alert the
driver that the Twin Clutch SST fluid
temperature has risen.

Parking
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a complete
stop, fully engage the parking brake, and then
move the gearshift lever to the "P" (PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unattended, al-
ways switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTE
l
On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the gearshift lever to
the "P" (PARK) position. If you move the
gearshift lever to the "P" (PARK) position be-
fore applying the parking brake, it may be dif-
ficult to disengage the gearshift lever from
the "P" (PARK) position when next you
drive the vehicle, requiring application of a
strong force to the gearshift lever to move
from the "P" (PARK) position.
