"HOLD" mode
HSRFL072
Select the "HOLD" mode when start-
ing your vehicle on a road surface
slippery from snow or the like, and the
vehicle will start smoothly in second
gear.
When you need quick acceleration or
engine braking power on a downhill
grade, or when you are going to go up
a long hill, press the "HOLD" switch
once again to cancel the "HOLD" func-
tion.
When "HOLD" button is depressed,
"HOLD" indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster will illuminate and auto-
matic shifting will be performed in the
range from 2nd gear to 3rd gear only,
as shown in the table.

Good Driving Practices
o Never move the gear selector lever
from "P" or "N" to any other position
with the accelerator pedal de-
pressed.
o Never move the gear selector lever
into "P" when the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
o Be sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before you attempt to shift
into "R".
o Never take the vehicle out of gear
and coast down a hill. This may be
extremely hazardous. Always leave
the vehicle in gear when moving.
o Do not "ride" the brakes. This can
cause them to overheat and mal-
function. Instead, when you are driv-
ing down a long hill, slow down and
shift to a lower gear. When you do
this, engine braking will help slow
the car.
o Slow down before shifting to a lower
gear. Otherwise, the lower gear may
not be engaged.
