CAUTION
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into "P" position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.
(g) Good driving practice
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
D
and down between fourth gear and
overdrive when climbing a gentle slope,
shift the selector lever into "S" posi-
tion.

D
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use the transmission in "D". Select an
appropriate shift range in "S" mode.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
