ADVICE
When the vehicle is stopped, do not keep depressing the accelerator pedal with
the gearshift lever placed in "D", "M" or "R" while depressing the brake pedal.
Doing so may cause a failure.
When stopping the vehicle on a slope, be sure to fully apply the brakes.
Keeping the vehicle stopped by depressing the accelerator pedal to produce a
strong creeping effect may cause a failure.

NOTE
The vehicle normally starts in the 2nd gear. When strong torque is required
to start off as when the vehicle is heavily loaded, press the 1st start switch to
enable the vehicle to start in 1st gear.
You can also shift into 1st gear when the vehicle is stopped by depressing the
brake pedal, placing the gearshift lever into "M" and moving there the lever
towards "– (downshift)".
When stopping the vehicle to wait for traffic light, it is recommended that you
place the gearshift lever into "N" for improved fuel economy.

To Change Gears - Auto Mode
• When you place the gearshift lever
from "N" into "D", shifting takes place
in the automatic mode. Check that "D"
is displayed on the upper left of the
shift indicator.
CAUTION
If you are using the auto mode on a steep uphill slope, the vehicle may
automatically shift up and down making it difficult to drive. In this case, use the
manual mode to maintain the same gear.
