8-24 Driving and Operating
Caution
In manual mode, the driver must
execute upward shifts in accordance
with prevailing road conditions, taking
care to keep the engine speed below
the red zone.
Since sudden engine braking and/or
rapid acceleration can cause a loss of
traction, however, downshifts must be
made carefully in accordance with the
vehicle's speed.
Engine braking
To help use the braking effect of engine
compression when driving on a long
downhill select manual mode down-
shift to a lower gear in a sequential
order.
Warning
Do not downshift transmission by
two or more gear positions at a time.
This prevents damage to your
transmission or loss of control and
personal injuries.
Note
Use of engine compression during long
mountainous descents may prolong the
life of your brakes.
Rocking the vehicle
Rocking the vehicle is only permissible
if the vehicle is stuck in sand, mud or
snow.
Move the shift lever between D and R in
a repeat pattern.
Do not race the engine and avoid
sudden acceleration.
Parking
After stoping the vehicle with pressing
the brake pedal, engage P and apply the
parking brake and then remove ignition
key.
Kickdown
For faster acceleration press the
accelerator pedal all the way down and
hold. The transmission shifts to a lower
gear depending on the engine speed.
Fault
In the event of a fault, the malfunction
indicator light illuminates. The transmis-
sion no longer shifts automatically nor
manually because it is locked in a certain
gear.
Have the cause of the fault remedied by
