• Use this position for normal driving conditions. The transmis-
sion is automatically shifted from
1st gear up to 5th gears
according to the level of depression on the accelerator pedal.
-D+: DRIVE POSITION
• Do not abruptly drive off or sharply accelerate the vehicle after
shifting into “-D+”, or the transmission will be damaged.
Especially, when you start off on a hill after stopping and park-
ing the vehicle, wait for a while until the “D1” shift indicator
comes on with the brake pedal depressed.
• Even while the gear is in “-D+”, the vehicle can roll down an uphill
according to the gradients, so you have to depress the brake pedal.
WARNING
N: NEUTRAL POSITION
At this position, the engine does not transfer power to the
wheels and the vehicle will not move. However, for safety,
apply the brake while at rest.
To shift into
“-D+” or “R” from the “N” position after stop-
ping the vehicle, you have to depress the brake pedal.
• Never shift into “N” from the “-D+” position or vice versa
when the vehicle is moving, or the transmission will be damaged.
• If you have to stop on a hill and would like to use this neutral
position, depress the brake pedal firmly.
• Never attempt to move the gear selector lever to “N” when
the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
Please note that the vehicle may slowly move forward on level
ground when the selector lever is in “-D+”.
