CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
Brake Operation
Make it habit to use only your right foot
to operate the brake pedal to avoid
depressing a wrong pedal.
WARNING
Sit on the seat in the correct
position and operate the brake
and accelerator pedals with your
right foot. Check the position of
each pedal visually and learn their
positions by feel, to avoid pressing
the wrong pedal.

Brake
Kickdown
When you depress the accelerator forcibly
during driving with the selector lever
in the "OD" position, the transmission
automatically shifts into a lower speed
gear.
You can use this kickdown effect to
smoothly pass other vehicles or merge with
another road during highway driving.
CAUTION
If you slowly step on the accelerator
pedal on an uphill slope to keep
the speed constant, kickdown may
take place, causing the vehicle to
suddenly accelerate.
Be aware that kickdown on a
slippery road or while driving
through a curve may cause the
vehicle to tilt.
