4-1. Before driving

WARNING

■

When taking a nap in the vehicle

Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if 

you accidentally move the shift lever or 

depress the accelerator pedal, this could 

cause an accident or fire due to engine 

overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is 

parked in a poorly ventilated area, 

exhaust gases may collect and enter the 

vehicle, leading to death or a serious 

health hazard.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive more 

cautiously.

Braking distance increases when the 

brakes are wet, and this may cause one 

side of the vehicle to brake differently 

than the other side. Also, the parking 

brake may not securely hold the vehi-

cle.

●

If the brake booster device does not 

operate, do not follow other vehicles 

closely and avoid hills or sharp turns 

that require braking.

In this case, braking is still possible, but 

the brake pedal should be depressed 

more firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have your 

brakes fixed immediately.

●

Do not pump the brake pedal if the 

engine stalls.

Each push on the brake pedal uses up 

the reserve for the power-assisted 

brakes.

●

The brake system consists of 2 individ-

ual hydraulic systems; if one of the sys-

tems fails, the other will still operate. In 

this case, the brake pedal should be 

depressed more firmly than usual and 

the braking distance will increase. 

Have your brakes fixed immediately.

■

If the vehicle becomes stuck

Do not spin the wheels excessively when 

any of the tires is up in the air, or the vehi-

cle is stuck in sand, mud, etc. This may 

damage the driveline components or 

propel the vehicle forward or backward, 

causing an accident.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator and 

brake pedals at the same time during 

driving, as this may restrain the engine 

output.

●

Do not use the accelerator pedal or 

depress the accelerator and brake 

pedals at the same time to hold the 

vehicle on a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always set the parking brake and shift 

the shift lever to P. Failure to do so may 

cause the vehicle to move or the vehicle 

may accelerate suddenly if the accelera-

tor pedal is accidentally depressed.

■

Avoiding damage to vehicle parts

●

Do not turn the steering wheel fully in 

either direction and hold it there for an 

extended period of time.

Doing so may damage the power 

steering motor.

●

When driving over bumps in the road, 

drive as slowly as possible to avoid 

damaging the wheels, underside of the 

vehicle, etc.

●

IS300: Make sure to idle the engine 

immediately after high-load driving. 

Stop the engine only after the turbo-

charger has cooled down.

Failure to do so may cause damage to 

the turbocharger.
