CAUTION
l
To maintain good running performance,
the transmission may refuse to perform
an upshift when the allshift lever is
moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” position at
certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent
overrevving of the engine, the lever is
moved to the “- (SHIFT DOWN)” posi-
tion at certain vehicle speeds.
l
Hard engine braking and sharp accelera-
tion can cause the tyres to slip on the
road surface. Perform downshifts in a
manner appropriate for the current road
conditions and vehicle speed.
NOTE
l
During vehicle operation, the transmission au-
tomatically shifts down when the vehicle
speed decreases. It selects 1
st
gear just before
the vehicle reaches a standstill.
