WARNING

Sudden Engine-Braking:
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. Do not use sudden engine
braking on slippery road surfaces or at
high speeds.

NOTE

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

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

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