G: SHIFT PATTERN SELECTION CONTROL
1. POWER PATTERN CONTROL
Shift pattern is selectable a base pattern suitable for ordinary economy running and a power pat-
tern suitable for climbing uphill or rapid acceleration.
In the Power pattern, the downshift point and upshift point are set higher than those of the Base
pattern.
When the Power pattern is selected, the POWER indicator light in the combination meter lights up.
Selector lever position
D, 3, and 2 ranges
The Power pattern selection is possible in the D, 3 or 2 range and only when the hold switch is in
the OFF position because the hold pattern control takes precedence over the Power pattern con-
trol.
2. HOLD PATTERN CONTROL
The hold pattern control enables maintaining the transmission in the selected gear (in the 2, 3, and
D ranges) or lower when going up or down steep slopes, running on sand, mad or slippery surfac-
es.
When the hold pattern is selected, the HOLD indicator light in the combination meter lights up.
