Engine braking
To utilise the engine braking effect,
select I or L when driving downhill, if
necessary.
Engine braking is most effective in
drive range L. If drive range L is
selected at too high a speed, the
transmission remains in the current
gear until the vehicle slows down.
Select drive range I for ordinary
engine braking effect. For greater
engine braking effect, select L.
Note
Use of engine compression during
long mountainous descents may
prolong the life of your brakes.
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.
