1. With the allshift lever in the “S” (Stand by)
position, firmly depress the brake pedal.
2. If necessary, apply the parking brake.
CAUTION
l
On an uphill slope, the transmission’s
creep effect may not stop the vehicle from
rolling backward if the brakes are not ap-
plied. There is no creep effect while
2
nd
gear is selected. When stopping, be
sure to depress the brake pedal and se-
curely apply the parking brake.
l
Do not attempt to hold the vehicle in
place on an uphill road in 1
st
gear by de-
pressing on the accelerator pedal. The
transmission could malfunction if you do.
3. When you are stationary for a long period
(for example, when stuck in a traffic jam),
place the allshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position.
CAUTION
l
Continue to pay attention to the vehicle
while stationary. If you allow your atten-
tion to wander and the allshift lever is in
any position other than “N” (Neutral),
the vehicle could move suddenly and un-
expectedly.
4. When you are ready to start moving again,
first confirm that the allshift lever is in the
“S” (Stand by) position or “R” (Reverse) po-
sition and that an “A”, “1”, or “R” is shown
on the multi-information display.
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.
CAUTION
l
The actions described below cause rapid
clutch wear and can cause clutch dam-
age. Do not perform them.
• Depressing the brake and accelerator
pedals at the same time.
• Holding the vehicle in place on an up-
hill road by depressing the accelerator
pedal (and not depressing the brake
pedal) with 1
st
gear selected.
