STARTING AND DRIVING
(f) Good driving practice
D If the transmission repeatedly upshifts and downshifts between
the third and overdrive gears when climbing a gentle slope, turn
off the overdrive switch. Be sure to turn the switch on
immediately after climbing the slope.
D When towing a trailer, in order to maintain efficient engine
braking and electrical charging performance, do not use
overdrive.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with
the engine running. This prevents the vehicle from creeping.
NOTICE
Do not hold the vehicle on an upgrade with the accelerator
pedal. This can cause the transmission to overheat. Always use
the brake pedal or parking brake.
