2-2. Driving procedures
Changing the shift position
WARNING
Do not let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is selected, or roll
●
forward while the shift position is in R.
Doing so may cause the engine to stall or lead to poor brake and steering perform-
ance, resulting in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
Do not shift the shift position to P while the vehicle is moving. Doing so can damage
●
the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Do not shift the shift position to R while the vehicle is moving forward. Doing so can
damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle control.
●
Do not shift the shift position to a driving position while the vehicle is moving back-
ward. Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
Changing the shift position to N while the vehicle is moving will disengage the engine
●
from the transmission. Engine braking is not available when N is selected.
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed.
●
Changing the shift position to any positions other than P or N may lead to unexpected
rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident and result in death or
serious injury. After changing the shift position, make sure to confirm the current shift
position displayed on the shift position indicator inside the meter.
