The select lever has four positions, “P”,
“R”, “N”, “D” and it also has an “L” or “M”
gate.
NOTE
For some models, to protect the engine
while the select lever is in the “P” or “N”
position, the engine is controlled so
that the engine speed may not become
too high even if the accelerator pedal is depressed hard.
This position is for parking the vehicle and
starting the engine. In this position, the
transmission is mechanically locked to
prevent the vehicle from rolling freely...

WARNING
Never tow a trailer when the temporary
spare tire is used. The temporary
spare tire is not designed to sustain
the towing load. Use of the temporary
spare tire when towing can result
in failure of the spare tire and/or less
stability of the vehicle...
CAUTION
Do not pick up a bottle from the
bottle holder or put a bottle in the
holder while you are driving, as
this may distract you and lead to
an accident.
When placing a beverage in a
bottle holder, make sure it is
capped. Otherwise, the beverage
could spill when opening/closing
the door or while driving and, if
the beverage is hot, it could scald
you and/or your passengers...
