Toyota 2000 Tundra Owner's Manual page 99

Your automatic transmission has a shift
lock system to minimize the possibility of
incorrect operation. This means you can
only shift out of "P" position when the
brake pedal is depressed (with the ignition
switch in "ON" or "ACC" position and the
selector lever pulled toward you).
(a) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in "How
to start the engine" in Part 3. The
transmission must be in "P" or "N".
2. With your foot holding down the brake
pedal, shift the selector lever to "D".
When the lever is in "D" position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc.
Always turn the overdrive switch on for
better fuel economy and quieter driving. If
the engine coolant temperature is low, the
transmission will not shift into the over-
drive gear even with the overdrive switch
on.
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake
pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
(b) Using engine braking
To use engine braking, you can downshift
the transmission as follows:
Turn off the overdrive switch. The "O/D
D
OFF" indicator light will come on and
the transmission will downshift to the
third gear.
Shift into the "2" position. The trans-
D
mission will downshift to the second
gear when the vehicle speed drops
down to or lower than the following
speed, and more powerful engine brak-
ing will be obtained.
