While depressing the brake pedal firmly,
place the shift lever to the desired position
in D4 (or 3 or 2) for forward driving or in
R for backward driving.
After releasing the parking brake completely,
move the vehicle by releasing the brake
pedal slowly.
w WARNING
• Never operate the shift lever while
depressing the accelerator pedal.
The vehicle may move suddenly.
• When engine revolution speed is
high (such as right after starting
the engine, during warming-up or
when the air conditioner switch is
on), depress the brake pedal firmly,
otherwise the vehicle may move.
• When performing the
operation, move the shift lever
without pressing the shift
lever button in order to avoid
wrong operation. If the shift lever
button is always pressed during
the operation, the shift lever may
be inadvertently placed in P,
R or 2 range, resulting in an
unexpected accident.
• Do not place the shift lever in the
P range before the vehicle comes
to a complete stop. Also, do not
place the shift lever in the N range
when driving; in the R range when
moving forward; or in the D4 , 3 and
2 ranges when moving backward.
Failure to observe this warning may
damage the transmission or could
cause loss of control, leading to an
accident.
Moving off
• Use D4 for normal driving.
• Manual operation from 2 to 3 or D4 can
also be carried out.
• When rapid acceleration is required,
depress the accelerator pedal fully.
Even if the shift lever is in D4, the
transmission will downshift automatically
to the 3rd gear or the 2nd gear depending
on vehicle speed.
• If the engine stalls while driving, restart
it with the transmission in N. It is,
however, advisable to start the engine in
P normally.
• When you drive on steep hills, downshift
for engine braking depending on road
conditions or vehicle speed.
