WARNING
Radio waves from the key may affect
medical devices such as pacemakers:
Before using the key near people who use
medical devices, ask the medical device
manufacturer or your physician if radio
waves from the key will affect the device...
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates,
or the push button start indicator light
(amber) flashes, this could indicate that
the engine may not start using the usual
starting method...
Other information:
The AUTOHOLD function automatically holds the vehicle stopped, even if you
take your
foot off the brake pedal. This function can be best used while stopped in
traffic or at a traffic
light. The brakes are released when you resume driving the vehicle such as by
releasing the
clutch pedal with the shift lever shifted to a position other than the neutral
position (manual
transaxle vehicle) or depressing the accelerator pedal (automatic transaxle
vehicle)...
WARNING
When jacking-up a vehicle, always shift the
shift lever to 1st or R position (manual
transaxle vehicle) or shift the selector lever
to P position (automatic transaxle vehicle),
apply the parking brake, and place wheel
blocks in the position diagonally opposed
to the jack: Changing a flat tire without using wheel
blocks is dangerous because the vehicle
may move and fall off the jack even with
the shift lever in 1st or R position, or the
selector lever is in P position, which could
result in an accident...
