(b) Using engine braking
To use the braking power of the engine, downshift the
transmission in the way described below:
1
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 365.
2
Shift into the “3” position. The transmission will downshift
to third gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower
than the speed listed below and stronger engine braking
will be enabled.
Transfer
“H”
139 km/h
(86 mph)
“L”
54 km/h
(33 mph)
3
Shift into the “2” position. The transmission will downshift
to second gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes
lower than the speed listed below and more powerful
engine braking than that of “3” position will be enabled.
Transfer
“H”
94 km/h
(58 mph)
“L”
36 km/h
(22 mph)
4
Shift into the “L” position. The transmission will downshift
to first gear when the vehicle speed is or becomes lower
than the speed listed below and maximum engine braking
will be enabled.
Transfer
“H”
40 km/h
(24 mph)
“L”

Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface.
The abrupt change in engine speed could cause the
