WARNING
NOTE
Sudden Engine-Braking:
When driving slowly, the gears may
not shift up depending on vehicle
speed.
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.
In manual shift mode, gears do not
shift up automatically. Dont 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.
When depressing the accelerator
fully, the transaxle will shift to a
lower gear, depending on vehicle
speed.
