162 Driving and Operating
Do not operate the automatic transmission
at or near stall condition for more than
five seconds. Stall condition is when the
transmission is in one of the driving ranges,
the engine is running at high speed, but the
drive wheels are unable to move. This
condition might occur if the vehicle is stuck
in deep sand or is pushing against a fixed
barrier. Operating the transmission at stall
condition will result in overheating and
damage.
Do not hold your vehicle on an upgrade
with the accelerator pedal. Doing so will
result in automatic transmission overheating
and damage. Use the parking brake or foot
brake to hold the vehicle on an upgrade.
Even if you plan to move only a short
distance, sit in the correct driving position
and make sure you can firmly press the
brake and accelerator pedals.
When you reverse, you twist to look
rearward so pedal operation becomes
difficult. Firmly press the brake pedal. Also,
practice returning the selector lever
immediately to the N position after
reversing. When pulling away, visually check
the selector lever position and the shift
indicator.
When the vehicle is stopped, do not keep
pressing the accelerator pedal with the
selector lever in a forward gear or R position
while pressing the brake pedal. Doing so
may cause a breakdown.
Sit in the correct driving position, and use
your right foot to operate the brake and
accelerator pedals. To avoid accidentally
pressing the wrong pedal, check the pedal
positions and practice putting your foot on
the desired pedal.
To start your vehicle:
1. Firmly press the brake pedal. After
making sure the selector lever is placed
into "P" (only models with P-range) or
"N", that "P" (only models with P-range)
or "N" is shown in the shift indicator and
that the parking brake is applied, place
the engine control switch into the "ON"
position.
2. Start the engine and move the selector
lever into OD for forward movement,
or R for backward movement while
firmly pressing the brake pedal with
your right foot.
3. Make sure that the shift indicator
indicates the correct gear for forward
movement, or R for backward movement,
release the parking brake, release the
brake pedal, and then gradually press
the accelerator pedal. The vehicles starts
moving as you press the accelerator
pedal further.
On a steep slope:
Make sure that the shift indicator indicates
the correct gear OD for forward movement,
or R for backward movement, check the area
around the vehicle is clear, press the brake
pedal with your left foot and release the
parking brake. With your left foot pressing
the brake pedal, slowly press the accelerator
with your right foot.
When you feel the vehicle try to move
release the brake pedal with your left foot,
continue to press the accellerator pedal with
your right foot, and start driving the vehicle.
If your vehicle is equipped with a selector
lever with P-range, the shift lock system
operates and the selector lever cannot be
shifted from "P" to any other position when
the brake pedal is not pressed.
