CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Smoother is a transmission system that allows the driver to move the vehicle from a
standstill, drive the vehicle with gears automatically changed and bring the vehicle to a
stop, only using the gearshift lever, accelerator pedal and brake pedal, without needing
to operate the clutch pedal. Make sure you fully understand the characteristics of the
Smoother system and know how to operate it correctly.
WARNING
Fully depress the brake pedal to prevent the vehicle from moving even if it is
stopped on a level road, and place the gearshift lever into "N" and securely set
the parking brake as needed.
The engine speed is increased immediately after its start, while the air
conditioning is in operation. This makes the transmission produce stronger
creeping force than usual. For this reason, you then need to firmly depress the
brake pedal.

NOTE
The clutch engagement shock may be significant when the engine speed
is increased using the idling control knob. When moving the gearshift lever
into any position other than "N", therefore, turn the idling control knob fully
counterclockwise.
You can utilize the creeping effect of the transmission to move your vehicle
smoothly in a traffic jam or in a narrow space by controlling the speed without
using the accelerator pedal but using only the brake pedal.
