Starting in Second Gear
To start the vehicle in second gear,
start the engine, then push the shift
lever forward once from the driving
position or press the right side
paddle shifter ( ) on the steering
＋
wheel once. Make sure the gear
position indicator on the upper
display shows ''2'' before starting out.

Driving on Hills

Although your vehicle is equipped
with the hill start assist system, the
vehicle may roll backward for a short
distance depending on the
circumstances. Make sure to set the
parking brake when starting off an
incline in case the vehicle should roll
back. For more information about
the hill start assist system, see page
424 .
When you stop the vehicle with
the engine running on an uphill
slope, never keep the vehicle
stopped by operating the
accelerator pedal. This will cause
excessive clutch wear and damage
the clutch system and the
transmission.
Do not try to keep the vehicle
position on an uphill slope by using
the stop-and-go operation. This
can damage the clutch system.
