NOTICE
z Be careful not to over−rev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to keep
engine rpm from going into the red
zone. The approximate maximum al-
lowable speed for each position is
given below for your reference:
km/h (mph)
Transfer
"H2" or "H4"
"2" . . . . . 104 (65)
"L" . . . . . . . 57 (35)
z Do not continue hill climbing or
hard towing for a long time in the
"2" or "L" position. This may cause
severe automatic transmission dam-
age from overheating. To prevent
such damage, "D" or "3" position
should be used in hill climbing or
hard towing.
(e) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with
your foot, shift the selector lever to the
"R" position.
Never shift into reverse while the ve-
hicle is moving.

2. Pull the parking brake lever fully to
securely apply the parking brake.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down,
shift the selector lever to the "P" posi-
tion.
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into "P" position under any cir-

loss of vehicle control may result.
NOTICE
CAUTION
(g) Good driving practice
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
D
and down between third gear and over-
drive when climbing a gentle slope,
shift the selector lever to the "3" posi-
tion. Be sure to shift the selector lever
to the "D" position immediately after-
ward.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
D
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use "D" position. The selector lever
must be in the "3" position.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
