WARNING
Do not use engine braking on slippery
road surfaces or at high speeds:
Shifting down while driving on wet,
snowy, or frozen roads, or while
driving at high speeds causes sudden
engine braking, which is dangerous.
The sudden change in tyre speed could
cause the tyres to skid. This could lead
to loss of vehicle control and an
accident.
NOTE
l
When driving at high speeds, the
gear may not shift down.
l
During deceleration, the gear may
automatically shift down depending
on vehicle speed.
