CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
NOTE
When it is necessary to make fine speed control of the vehicle as when
reversing it onto a platform, you can utilize the creeping effect of the
transmission to move the vehicle smoothly using only the brake pedal, not using
the accelerator pedal.
Gear shifting will not occur even when shifting into auto mode (shifting from "M"
to "D") when the vehicle is stopped.
After the vehicle starts moving, the transmission is automatically shifted.

To Stop the Vehicle
1. Press the brake pedal with your
right foot to slow down and stop the
vehicle. No special gear shifting is
required.
After the vehicle has stopped, the
transmission is automatically shifted
into the starting gear in both the
manual mode and auto mode.
2. While the vehicle is stopped, place
the gearshift lever into "N". When the
vehicle must be stationary for several
minutes, set the parking brake.
CAUTION
When leaving the driver seat, be sure to place the gearshift lever into "N", make
sure that the shift indicator displays "N" and firmly set the parking brake.
•
NOTE
When stopping the vehicle to wait for a traffic light, it is recommended that you
place the gearshift lever into "N" for improved fuel economy.
•
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.
