Starting and driving
CAUTION
!
● If the clutch is engaged suddenly while the engine
revolution is high, an extremely large load will be
applied instantaneously to the power train, possibly
leading to the breakage of that component. Please
ensure, therefore, that the clutch pedal is always
applied in a slow yet firm manner.
Your vehicle has a special feature to protect the
power train from damage; the engine is controlled in
such a way that excessive increase in engine revolu-
tion is prevented in situations where the accelerator
pedal is depressed while the gearshift lever is in the
1st position and the clutch pedal has been depressed.
NOTE

● If it is hard to shift into 1st, depress the clutch pedal again;
the shift will then be easier to make.
● To shift into reverse from the 5th gear, move the gearshift
lever to the "N" (Neutral) position, and then shift it into
reverse.

Possible driving speed
Avoid shifting down at high speed, as this may cause excessive
engine speed (the tachometer needle into the red zone) and
damage the engine.
Shift point
2H, 4H, 4HLc

2nd gear 65 km/h (40 mph)
3rd gear 105 km/h (65 mph)

5th gear is an overdrive ratio and its use reduces engine speed
below that of the 4th gear. Use 5th gear whenever vehicle
speed allows, for maximum fuel economy.
