NOTE

l

When driving slowly, the gears may
not shift up depending on vehicle
speed.

l

In manual shift mode, gears do not
shift up automatically. Don't run the
engine with the tachometer needle in
the RED ZONE. If the tachometer
needle enters the RED ZONE, you
may feel engine-braking because the
fuel delivery will be stopped to
protect the engine. However, this
does not indicate an abnormality.

l

When depressing the accelerator
fully, the transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle
speed.

WARNING

Do not use sudden engine braking on
slippery road surfaces or at high
speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving at high speeds causes sudden
engine braking, which is dangerous.
The sudden change in tire speed could
cause the tires to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.

Be sure to leave the shift lever in 1 or
R position and set the parking brake
when leaving the vehicle unattended:
Otherwise the vehicle could move and
cause an accident.

NOTE

l

When driving at high speeds, the
gear may not shift down depending
on vehicle speed.

l

During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending
on vehicle speed.

l

When depressing the accelerator
fully, the transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle
speed.

Second gear fixed mode
