• Do not downshift abruptly (3rd, 2nd or 1st) when the vehicle is

damaged. Also, the vehicle may slip, resulting in an accident
(especially on a slippery road).
• If low-range maximum speeds are exceeded when the selector
lever is in low gears, the transmission can be damaged.
WARNING
• If you press and hold the tip switch, the gear may be shifted
through several steps in a series.
• Please note that the gear may be upshifted if you fully depress
the accelerator pedal while driving with 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gear.
• If you apply excessive force to the tip switch, the gear may not
be shifted into other gears to protect the vehicle system. Soft
and smooth operation is recommended.
