Driving your vehicle
3
(Third gear)
1 (First gear)
CAUTION
Use for towing a trailer during hill climb-
ing or to use engine braking downhill.
"3" automatically shifts between 1st, 2nd
and 3rd gears. This means that no shift-
up to 4th gear is performed. However, the
shift-up to 4th gear is done when the car
speed exceeds a certain value to prevent
the engine from over-revving. Manually
move the selector to "D" when returning
to normal driving condition.
Use for driving up a very steep grade or
for engine braking when descending
steep hills. When downshifting to "1", the
transaxle will temporarily remain in sec-
ond gear until the vehicle has slowed
enough for low gear to engage. Do not
exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low gear.
• Shift into "R", “D” and "P" posi-
tion only when the vehicle has
completely stopped.
• Do not accelerate the engine in
reverse or any of the forward
positions with the brakes applied.
"1" shifts to 1st gear only. However, shift
up to 2nd is performed when the car
exceeds a certain speed and, as speed
increases, the transaxle will shift up to
3rd gear to prevent over-revving the
engine.
• Always apply the footbrake when
shifting from "P" or "N", to "R",
"D","3", "2" or "1" position.
•
Check the automatic transaxle
fluid level regularly, and add fluid
as necessary.
2
(Second gear)
Use for driving on a slippery road, hill
climbing or engine braking downhill. "2"
automatically shifts between first and
second gears.
See the maintenance schedule for
the proper fluid recommendation.
✽
NOTICE
� For
smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when shifting
from "N" (Neutral) position or "P"
(Park) position to a forward or "R"
(Reverse) gear.
Fully depress the brake pedal in order
to move the shift lever from the "P"
(Park) position to any of the other
positions.
It is always possible to shift from "R",
"N", "D", "3", "2", "1" position to
"P" position. The vehicle must be
fully stopped to avoid transaxle dam-
age.
This means that no shift-up to 3rd gear is
performed. However, the shift-up to third
gear is done when the car speed
exceeds a certain value to prevent the
engine from over-revving. Manually move
the selector to "D" returning to normal
driving condition.
