■

The information display at low tem-

peratures

Allow the interior of the vehicle to warm

up before using the liquid crystal infor-

mation display. At extremely low tem-

peratures, the information display

monitor may respond slowly, and display

changes may be delayed.

For example, there is a lag between the

driver’s shifting and the new gear num-

ber appearing on the display. This lag

could cause the driver to downshift

again, causing rapid and excessive

engine braking and possibly an accident

resulting in death or injury.
