N (Neutral gear)
When locating at this position, wheels
and transmission are disengaged.
When it is required to restart the
shutdown engine or keep the engine
idling for temporary parking, the
neutral gear position is applicable. No
matter what is the reason for leaving
the vehicle, you should shift the handle
into parking gear position. When
shifting the shift handle from the
neutral position to other gear positions,
it is recommended to depress the
brake pedal. Besides, in the case of
vehicle towing, it is necessary to shift
into the neutral gear position.
It is very dangerous to shift into D
(Driving gear) when the engine is
running at a high speed and the
transmission is located at neutral
gear position. The vehicle will move
fast and even lose its control and
knock over people or obstacles
unless
the brake pedal is
depressed completely.
D (Driving gear)
In general, this gear position is applied
to driving. The transmission will
automatically
select proper gear
position according to vehicle speed
and acceleration.
For additional power in overtaking or
climbing,
please depress the
accelerator pedal completely. When
the accelerator pedal is depressed
completely, the transmission will shift
into low gear automatically.
Torque lock-up
When parking on an abrupt slope,
vehicle
weight will produce an
excessive force on the parking pawl in
the transmission. Thus, it will be very
difficult to shift the shift handle out of
the P (Parking gear) position and this is
called "torque lock-up".
To prevent torque lock-up, it is
necessary to tightly pull up the parking
handle and then correctly move the
shift handle to P (Parking gear) position
before leaving the vehicle.
In the case of torque lock-up, it is
necessary to slightly tow the vehicle
with another one along the direction of
the supper side of the slope for
removing the component applied force
on the transmission parking pawl so as
to separate the shift handle from the P
(Parking gear) position.
