firmly such as in emergency stop situations
and provides greater braking force.

in the following position.
[When starting an uphill slope forwards.]
The gearshift lever is in any position other
than “R” (Reverse).

gearshift lever is in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion.)
[When starting an uphill slope backwards.]
The gearshift lever is in the “R” (Reverse)
position.
