STARTING AND DRIVING

263

(b) Using engine braking

To use the braking power of the engine, downshift the

transmission in the way described below:

Shift into the “4” position. The transmission will downshift

to fourth gear and engine braking will be enabled.
When the cruise control is being used, even if you

downshift from “D” to “4”, engine braking will not be

enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. If

you need to decrease the vehicle speed, see page 268.

Shift into the “3” position. The transmission will downshift

to third gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower

than 129 km/h (80 mph) and more powerful engine

braking will be enabled.

Shift into the “2” position. The transmission will downshift

to second gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes

lower than 83 km/h (51 mph) and more powerful engine

braking than that of “3” position will be enabled.

Shift into the “L” position. The transmission will downshift

to first gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower

than 39 km/h (24 mph) and maximum engine braking will

be enabled.

CAUTION

Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface.
The abrupt change in engine speed could cause the
vehicle to skid or spin.
