o L (Low gear):
Use for driving up a very steep grade or
for engine braking when descending
steep hills. When downshifting to "L",
the transaxle will temporarily remain in
second gear until the vehicle has
slowed enough for low gear to engage.
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph) in low
gear.
"L" shifts to 1st gear only. However,
shift up to 2nd is performed when the
car exceeds a certain speed and, as
speed increases, the transaxle will shift
up to 3rd gear to prevent over-revving
the engine.

NOTE:
o For smooth and safe operation,
depress the brake pedal when
shifting from "N"(Neutral) posi-
tion or "P"(Park) position to a
forward or "R"(Reverse) gear.
o The brake pedal fully depressed
in order to move the shift lever
from the "P" (Park) position to
any of the other positions.
o It is always possible to shift from
"R", "N", "D", "2", "L" position to
"P" position. The vehicle must
be fully stopped to avoid
transaxle damage.
