CAUTION
!
●
To maintain good running performance, the trans-
mission may refuse to perform an upshift when the
allshift lever is moved to the “+ (SHIFT UP)” posi-
tion at certain vehicle speeds. Also, to prevent over-
revving of the engine, the lever is moved to the “-
(SHIFT DOWN)” position at certain vehicle speeds.
●
Hard engine braking and sharp acceleration can
cause the tyres to slip on the road surface. Perform
downshifts in a manner appropriate for the current
road conditions and vehicle speed.
