IMPORTANT INFORMATION
- 1–14 -
Park the vehicle in a safe place firstly if
the warning light comes on
Do not continue to drive disregarding the
lighting (blinking) of the warning light. Be
sure to take action for lighting or blinking
lights, referring to the instruction of how to
see the meters, the warning lights, and
the indicator lights.
Refer to the "CONTROLS AND
INSTRUMENTS" section.
Proper shifting
Downshifting has two main purposes.
• To provide the engine brake while
going down a steep or long slope.
• To improve quick response and fuel
economy while going up a slope.
Precautions for downshifting
• Overrunning leads to damage to the
engine. Downshifting must be
performed within the appropriate
speed range of each gear.
• Even when the vehicle runs on other
than a downhill slope, downshifting
must be performed within the
appropriate speed range of each gear.
• On the new vehicle (less than about
1000 km (600 miles) of mileage),
downshifting should be performed at
around 10 km/h below the appropriate
speed range.
When going up a slope
• Downshift early to avoid load on the
engine.
When going down a slope
• When going down a slope, normally
use the same gear that was used for
going up that slope. However, drive the
vehicle at the appropriate speed so
that the tachometer does not indicate
the red zone to prevent the engine
from overrunning (exceeding the
engine speed limit).
