CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
1st start mode indicator light
CAUTION
• The transmission shifts when you press the 1st start switch while the vehicle is
stationary. Fully depress the brake pedal before pressing the switch and keep
depressing the brake pedal until the shift indicator changes from flashing to
steady illumination. While the shift indicator is flashing, the gear is being shifted
and the transmission creeping effect does not work. If you release the brake
pedal while the indication is still flashing, the vehicle may move down a slope,
causing an accident.

1st Start Mode
The vehicle normally moves off from a
standstill in second gear. Use the 1st start
mode when you need powerful torque to
start the vehicle, for example, when it is
heavily loaded.
When you press the 1st start switch in auto
mode (i.e., when the vehicle is stopped and
either the foot brake or parking brake is
applied), the 1st start mode indicator light
comes on, indicating that the transmission
has switched to 1st start mode. Return the
transmission to the normal start mode (2nd
start mode) by pressing the 1st start switch
again.
