WARNING
l
This position will generate maximum en-
gine braking.
Be very careful not to shift into “L” (Low)
suddenly.
Sudden engine braking may cause the
tyres to skid.
Only use this position when driving at cer-
tain road conditions (described above)
with low vehicle speed
CAUTION
l Immediately shift the selector lever to the
“D” (DRIVE) position or “Ds” (DOWN-
SHIFT & SPORTY DRIVING) position, af-
ter using the “L” (LOW) position at certain
road conditions.
l Never use the “L” (LOW) position with
hight-speed driving.
When a malfunction occurs in
the automatic transmission
When the selector lever position
indicator blinks
When the selector lever position indicator
blinks while you are driving, there could be a
malfunction in the automatic transmission
system or CVT fluid temperature becomes
abnormally high.
The “L” indicator will blink, if you are driv-
ing with “L” (LOW) position even without
CVT malfunction or high CVT fluid temper-
ature.
If the “L” indicator blinks during vehicle
stopping, there is a CVT malfunction or a
high CVT fluid temperature.
To judge the CVT malfunction or the high oil
temperature condition while using the “L”
(LOW) position, it can be confirmed the
blinking condition when the vehicle has stop-
ped .
NOTE
l
The “A” indicator on the selector lever posi-
tion display will only blink if there is a prob-
lem with the CVT position switch.
It is not seen during normal driving.
