1
in the transmission. Use this position on long
mountainous terrains, steep hills, and rough
2
off-road. This also provides the engine brake
3 effect on steep downhills.
• The drive position prevents the transmission
4
from shifting into the third or fourth gear. Se-
5
lect drive range 2 for more power when climb-
ing hills, for the engine braking effects when
6
driving down steep hills.

cally shifted from the 1st gear up to the 3rd
8
gear according to the vehicle speed. You can
get the engine brake effect when using this
9
position during downhill driving.

on paved roads. In this position, the transmis-
11
sion is automatically shifted from the 1st gear
up to the 4th gear according to the vehicle
12
speed.

CAUTION
• When pushing and holding the manual gear shift switch, the gear
may be shifted through several steps in series. Make sure to
shift one step at a time.
• Please note that the gear may be upshifted if you fully depress
the accelerator pedal while driving with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear.
• If you apply excessive force when moving the manual gear shift
switch, the gear may not be shifted into other gears. Soft and
smooth operation is recommended.
• Do not downshift abruptly (3, 2, or 1) when the vehicle speed is
high (D or 4). You could lose control and hit people or objects
(especially on a slippery road).
• If low-range maximum speeds are exceeded when the selector
lever is in low gears, the transmission can be damaged.
