CONTROLS AND INSTRUMENTS
ADVICE
When the vehicle is stopped, do not keep depressing the accelerator pedal with
•
the gearshift lever placed in the "D", "M" or "R" position while depressing the
brake pedal. Doing so may cause a failure.
When stopping the vehicle on a slope, be sure to fully apply the brakes.
•
Keeping the vehicle stopped by depressing the accelerator pedal to produce a
strong creeping effect may cause a failure.
NOTE
The vehicle normally starts off in the 2nd gear. When strong torque is required
•
to start up when the vehicle is heavily loaded, press the 1st start switch to
enable the vehicle to start in 1st gear.
You can also shift into 1st gear when the vehicle is stopped by depressing the
•
brake pedal, placing the gearshift lever into "M" and moving the lever towards
"– (downshift)".
When stopping the vehicle to wait for a traffic light, it is recommended that you
•
place the gearshift lever into "N" for improved fuel economy.
1st Start Mode→ Refer to page 4-88
To Change Gears - Auto Mode
• When you change the gearshift lever
from "N" into "D", shifting takes place
in the automatic mode. Check that "D"
is displayed on the upper left of the
shift indicator.
NOTE
On a continuous steep uphill slope or in a traffic jam, it may be easier for you to
•
drive using the manual mode keeping the vehicle in a particular gear rather than
using the auto mode. It is recommended that you drive your vehicle under the
above conditions using the manual mode.
Driving in the ECONO mode can improve fuel economy.
