D: DRIVE POSITION
WARNING
• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after shifting into "D",
or the transmission will be damaged. Especially, when you start off on a hill after
stopping and parking the vehicle, wait for a while until the shift indicator "D" and
"1" will come on with the brake pedal depressed.
• Even while the gear is in "D", the vehicle can roll down an uphill according to the
gradients, so you have to depress the brake pedal.
CAUTION
Please note that the vehicle may slowly move forward on level ground when the
selector lever is in "D".
WARNING
• If you touch the selector lever unexpectedly while driving, the shiftable gear may
be changed. It can make the vehicle unstable. Be careful not to touch the selec-
"P"
with- tor lever while driving (especially during the winter season).
• Do not downshift abruptly (3, 2, or 1) when the vehicle speed is high (D or 4).
You could lose control and hit people or objects (especially on a slippery road).
• If low-range maximum speeds are exceeded when the selector lever is in low
gears, the transmission can be damaged.
Use this position for nor-
mal driving conditions.
The transmission is au-
tomatically shifted from
1st gear up to 5th gears
according to the level of
depression on the accel-
erator pedal.
